Abstract
A sliding element works with a guide system having two guide parts that can be moved relative to one another. The sliding element can be fixed to one of the guide parts by an attachment face (3) and includes, on a face opposite the attachment face (3), a sliding surface (6) so as to be slidingly supported on the other guide part. The sliding element includes a first part (I) and a second part (2) which is mounted so as to be rotatable relative thereto, which parts include a contact surface (3) for mutual support. The contact surface (7) is axially inclined in a rotational direction of the second part (2) counter to the first part (I), and the two parts (I, 2) can be locked to one another in various angular positions and the locking can be released.
Claims17
A sliding element for a guide system having two guide portions which are movable relative to each other, wherein the sliding element can be fixed with a fixing side (3) to one of the guide portions and at a side opposite the fixing side (3) has a sliding surface (6) for slidingly bearing against the other guide portion, the sliding element comprising a first portion (1) and a second portion (2) which are mounted rotatably relative to each other about an axis of rotation (D) and have a contact surface (7) for the two portions (1, 2) to bear against each other, and
- wherein the contact surface (7) has an axial inclination in a direction of rotation of the second portion (2) relative to the first portion (1) about the axis of rotation (D) so that by rotation of the two portions (1, 2) relative to each other the axial overall structural height of the two portions (1, 2) which bear against each other at the contact surface (7) is variable and the two portions (1, 2) upon relative rotation thereof about the axis of rotation (D) along their contact surface (7) can be arrested to each other over an adjustment angle in various angular positions and the arresting action is releasable,
- wherein the fixing side (3) of the sliding element for fixing to one of the guide portions is arranged at a side of the first portion (1), that faces away from the second portion (2), and the sliding surface (6) of the sliding element is arranged at a side of the second portion (2), that faces away from the first portion (1), and
- wherein the first portion (1) on a partial circle with respect to the axis of rotation (D) has depressions (10) or raised portions which co-operate with a projection (11) or a recess respectively on an elastic element arranged non-rotatably on the second portion (2) for releasably arresting the two portions (1, 2) in the various angular positions by a positively locking engagement.
A sliding element for a guide system having two guide portions which are moveable relative to each other, wherein the sliding element can be fixed with a fixing side (3) to one of the guide portions and at a side opposite the fixing side (3) has a sliding surface (6) for slidingly bearing against the other guide portion, the sliding element comprising a first portion (1) and a second portion (2) which are mounted rotatably relative to each other about an axis of rotation (D) and have a contact surface (7) for the two portions (1, 2) to bear against each other, and
- wherein the contact surface (7) has an axial inclination in a direction of rotation of the second portion (2) relative to the first portion (1) about the axis of rotation (D) so that by rotation of the two portions (1, 2) relative to each other the axial overall structural height of the two portions (1, 2) which bear against each other at the contact surface (7) is variable and the two portions (1, 2) upon relative rotation thereof about the axis of rotation (D) along their contact surface (7) can be arrested to each other over an adjustment angle in various angular positions and the arresting action is releasable,
- wherein the fixing side (3) of the sliding element for fixing to one of the guide portions is arranged at a side of the first portion (1), that faces away from the second portion (2), and the sliding surface (6) of the sliding element is arranged at a side of the second portion (2), that faces away from the first portion (1),
- wherein the sliding element is formed by the two portions (1, 2), wherein the one outwardly facing side of the portions which bear against each other at their contact surface (7) forms the sliding surface (6) of the sliding element and the outwardly facing side opposite thereto is designed for fixing on one of the guide portions,
- wherein the sliding surface (6) is arranged on the second portion (2) and the side designed for fixing on one of the guide portions is arranged on the first portion (1), and
- wherein the second portion (2) has two resilient bars (24) and in the end regions thereof has a respective outwardly extending stud (25) which is respectively latchable in a corresponding recess (26) in the guide portion.
