ABSTRACT:
The suspension cable of a suspended railway lies in a vertical plane above the elongated track thereof. Hangers interconnecting the suspension cable and the track each have an upper part connected to the suspension cable, a lower part connected to the track, and an intermediate part pivoted on the upper and lower parts about respective horizontal upper and lower pivot axes. The lower pivot axis is perpendicular to the plane of the suspension cable and to the direction of elongation of the track, and is relatively close to the upper surface of the track. The upper pivot axis is generally parallel to the track and lies in the plane of the suspension cable, but is spaced from the upper surface of the track by a distance equal at least to the width of the track in a direction perpendicular to the plane thereof. Between these two pivot axes the intermediate part is completely rigid.
