Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A vehicle for running on rails capable of smoothly running while maintaining a proper grip force on the rails, comprising a base, a pair of first and second wheels held on the base rotatably on the upper surfaces of the rails and disposed apart from each other in the extending direction of the rails, third wheels held on the base rotatably on the lower surface of the rails, and a motor for rotating the first wheels. The first wheels are positioned between the second wheels and the third wheels in the extending direction of the rails and the second wheels are held on the base through dampers. When the dampers for the second wheels are elastically deformed and the vehicle is tilted, the grip forces of the first and third wheels on the rails are increased.
