Abstract

A trolley 100 for a rail 10 is described. The trolley 100 comprises a frame 110, a set S of wheels 120, including a first wheel 120A and a second wheel 120B, rotatably coupled to the frame 110 and an attachment member 130, coupled to the frame 110, for suspension of a load W therefrom, in use. The first wheel 120A is rotatable in a first plane P1 about a first axis A1 and the second wheel 120B is rotatable in a second plane P2 about a second axis A2. The first plane P1 and the second plane P2 define a line L. The trolley 100 is arrangeable in a first configuration, wherein the attachment member 130 is arranged at a first angular displacement D1 about the line L. The trolley 100 is arrangeable in a second configuration, wherein the attachment member 130 is arranged at a second angular displacement D2 about the line L, wherein the first angular displacement D1 and the second angular displacement D2 are different. A rail assembly 1, including the trolley 100 and the rail 10, is also described.

Abstract

A releasable rail coupling (1000) for releasably coupling a first rail 10A providing a first portion P1 of a miming surface RS for a wheel (120) and a second rail (10B) providing a second portion P2 of the miming surface RS is described. The rail coupling (1000) comprises a first part (1100) having a first end 1110 comprising a first male coupling member (1111) and a second end (1120) arranged for joining to the first rail (10A). The rail coupling (1000) comprises a second part (1200) having a first end (1210) comprising a corresponding first female coupling member (1212), arranged to receive the first male coupling member (1111) therein, and a second end (1220) arranged for joining to the second rail (10B). The rail coupling (1000) is arrangeable in a first configuration wherein the first male coupling member (1111) and the first female coupling member (1212) are uncoupled. The rail coupling (1000) is arrangeable a second configuration wherein the first male coupling member (1111) and the first female coupling member (1212) are coupled by receiving the first male coupling member (1111) in the first female coupling member (1212). The rail coupling (1000) provides a third portion P3 of the running surface RS in the second configuration. In this way, assembly and/or disassembly of the first rail (10A) (i.e. a first length of rail) and the second rail (10B) (i.e. a second length of rail) may be facilitated and/or errors in assembly reduced.

Abstract

A stop for stopping a trolley on a rail is described. The trolley comprises a set of wheels, including a first wheel and the rail provides, at least in part, a running surface, including a first portion and a second portion thereof, for the first wheel. The stop comprises an actuator providing a third portion of the running surface between the first portion and the second portion and an arm, coupled to the actuator. The stop is arrangeable in a first configuration, wherein the arm is arranged to block the trolley therepast. The stop is arrangeable in a second configuration, wherein the arm is arranged to allow the trolley therepast. The stop is arranged to move from the first configuration to the second configuration by actuation of the actuator, preferably by a movement of the actuator in a direction transverse to the third portion of the running surface.
