ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic transport plant in which a plurality of aligned pneumatic tubes define a transport path, the tubes being spaced apart with an overhead rail in the form of an I-beam extending continuously along the path and through each tube, in which it is mounted by brackets flanking the rail and engaging the underside of the upper flange thereof, the brackets being bolted to the walls of the tubes. A vehicle riding along the rail is formed by an elongated container suspended beneath the rail by a plurality of support rollers flanking the rail and riding upon the lower flange thereof, the support rollers being mounted on a support carried on a vertical pivot formed at an end of the container, through the intermediary of a yoke having a horizontal pivot passing through the support and another horizontal pivot passing through the vertical pivot, allowing the support to tilt back and forth in the longitudinal direction of travel of the container and from side to side, transverse to the direction of travel, as well as to rotate in a horizontal plane. A plurality of guide rollers are also mounted on the support, flanking the rail and normally spaced therefrom for engagement therewith only during lateral displacement of the container.
