ABSTRACT:
A tracked vehicle switch assembly is operatively connected between a single main track and a pair of diverging tracks for selectively diverting a vehicle moving along the main track to one of the diverging tracks. The switch assembly includes first and second track sections having first abutting ends, and second ends respectively connected to the main track and the pair of diverging tracks. The first track section is thus a continuation of the main track, while the second track section is a continuation of the pair of diverging tracks. The abutting ends of the first and second track sections are operatively connected to a moving device which simultaneously moves these ends in opposite directions between two extreme positions, in substantially the same plane, thereby to selectively align the first track section with the tracks of the second track section in order to selectively direct a vehicle on the main track to either of the diverging tracks.
