Abstract: The present programmable transporter Version 1 is a replacement for the traditionally use hand-push-pull-carry waste or garbage can or container in residential and commercial areas. The Version 2 is a replacement for the conventional stand-still, fasten to wall or post positioned mail-box in the residential and commercial fields. The traveling transporters technique accomplishes to replace the existing hand-way waste take-out, as well the mail receiving method. The location or use of operation both mechanisms, is between the close garage or building desi-red out or inside area, connected on adequate drive-way side with elastic plastic, rubber or steel rail, with the intersect of the mentioned property drive-way and the roadside , street-side intersect corner.(see plan view for location) The portable assembly support steel frame covered with industrial, washable plastic form/shaped to fit the frame/, which is traveling on wheels, guided with roller-sliders along the rail. A rail is vulkanized, glued, plus fastened to the surface of the drive-way. The platform has two driving and two sviwel caster wheels, a pair on each axle to close corners to the frame. The rotatory motions of the wheels give ability to the transporter for easy move along the rail, from one location to another. The attached roller-sliders to the frame travel on the top of the rail, with side directing profiles fitted into along the rail side cavity.(see roller-slider rail joint sketch) Vertically installed push-pull spring inside roller-sliders body adjust, follow the heights difference along the elastic plastic rail. On each end of the mentioned rail is a fastened security stop advice to assure efficient and safe operation for the timer controlled machine. For both Version transporter the drive is provided by an alternated current /AC-type/ or direct current /DC-type/ three stage planetary gear motor with installed limit switch to both directions. The extremely powerful but quiet motor is connected with traditional differential transmission, what is through gear shafts leading to the drive wheels. The Version 1 and 2 AC-types power supply is through community electric network system with plugged reel-power-cord what is mounted on the wall or the garage floor. /can mounted inside or outside of the building/ The both Version AC-type transporters usable only in direct, strait linear entry position drive-way connections with the street, because the reel power cord has to follow the transporter along the way through the operation. The Version 1 and 2 DC-types power source are durable Nickel-Cadmium 12 volt batteries. The batteries are rechargeable. The battery charger as a part of the DC-type has one indicator and its light is on, when it is connected to a discharged battery. The whole operating functions are controlled by a seven day programmable controller what is turning on and off on the desired day, hour, or minute the entire existing commanding system on the transporter. On the top of Version 1 programmable transporter is a long-shaped plastic waste container, while on the other platform machine Version 2 is a column on an angle, on which top is a nice mail-box.
