Abstract
The track assembly includes top platewhich incorporates the tracks. In FIG., dashed lines have been added to show the portion of the top platethat is used as the trackfor the rollers. The interaction of the rollersand trackis similar to the interaction of rollercoaster wheels and their associated track. In operation, small vertical rollersride against the side edge of top plate(as can be seen in FIGS.and), small horizontal rollersride against the underside of top plate(as can be seen in FIG.), and the large horizontal rollerrides on the top of top plate(as can be seen in FIG.). This allows the moving towerto travel from one end of the track assemblyto the other. As is described above, this rolling movement takes place when the platformis folded and pulls the first vertical arm, and, therefore, the moving towerinwardly.
