2834 Back Pack Guide®
For machine-operated 280 series tracks only.
These devices prevent the curtain from stacking until the curtain reaches the stack area. The curtains will not fold, or stack, while on stage. This is sometimes called a "sliding door" affect.
Used with any Model 280 track that is machine-operated. Sized for No. 2829 cable.
These devices must be installed so that they face the pulley end of each carrier as illustrated and are not attached to the master carriers nor to the last single carrier of the track system. To assure quiet track operation on 283-N & 283-R Series tracks, a No. 2827-A Rubber Spacer is inserted between the Back Pack® guide® and the carrier and between the Back Pack® guide and adjoining carrier. The rubber spacers are included with 280 series Back Pack® Guides and do not have to be ordered separately.
Thickness 1/8”
Weight: 1 – 1 oz.
BACK PACK® GUIDES achieve a unique sliding door effect when used with 280 and 170 series track systems. Through the use of a special plate which is attached to the single carrier, the curtain does not accumulate in folds until the ends of the track are reached. The audience is thus able to get a mural effect until that part of the curtain is moved off stage. Back Pack® Guides are especially useful for a curtain which must be stored in a pocket. Since the gathering is accomplished after the curtain enters the pocket, the curtain cannot billow as it moves along the stage, thus assuring a minimum of stacking space in the pocket. With Back Pack® Guides there is more strain on the system at start-up which decreases as the curtain stacks.
These devices may cause premature wear of the cable or cord coating. These devices must face the pulley end of each carrier as illustrated and are not attached to the master carriers nor to the last single carrier of this track system. To assure quiet track operation on 280 Series tracks, one No. 2826 Rubber Spacer is inserted between the Guide and carrier and one No. 2827 Rubber Spacer between the Guide and adjoining carrier.
