Carriage for a linear guide system and linear guide system comprising such a carriage

A carriage for a linear guide system comprising a rail element with two running surfaces facing each other and the carriage movable relative to the rail element in and against a pull-out direction, wherein the carriage comprises

• a base body,
• a first pair of support elements in the form of sliders, and
• at least one first support spring element,
• wherein each of the sliders of the first pair of support elements is movably mounted on the base body in an upward direction perpendicular to the pull-out direction, so that each of the sliders is frictionally engageable with a respective one of the running surfaces, and
• wherein the at least one first support spring element is mounted on the base body such that the at least one first support spring element biases the sliders of the first pair of support elements away from each other in the upward direction,
• wherein the carriage additionally comprises
• a second pair of support elements and
• at least one second support spring element,
• wherein the second pair of support elements is spaced apart from the first pair of support elements in the pull-out direction,
• wherein each of the support elements of the second pair of support elements is movably supported on the base body in the upward direction so that each of the support elements is engageable with a respective one of the running surfaces,
• wherein the at least one second support spring element is mounted on the base body such that the at least one second support spring element biases the support elements of the second pair of support elements away from each other in the upward direction,
• wherein the support elements of the second pair of support elements are sliders, and
• wherein each of the sliders of at least one of the first pair of support elements and the second pair of support elements comprises a T-shaped portion, wherein a transverse beam of the T-shaped portion is frictionally engageable with a running surface of the rail element and a vertical beam receives the at least one first or second support spring element.
