Abstract
A sliding bearing 1 includes a rail 2 and a carriage 3. The rail 2 has two guide portions 21, 22 that are elongated in a longitudinal direction X and extend next to one another. The carriage 3 has a guide seat 31, 32 assigned to each guide portion 21, 22. In an operating state each of the guide portions 21, 22 is arranged in the guide seat 31, 32, respectively, assigned to it and is surrounded by it perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction X while fixing the carriage 3 relative to the rail 2 perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis X and while ensuring a longitudinal displaceability of the carriage 3 relative to the rail 2.
Claims22
A carriage (3) for a sliding bearing (1), wherein the carriage (3) has a first and a second guide seat (31, 32) that are each elongated in a longitudinal direction (X) and extend next to one another, wherein the first guide seat is designed to receive, in an operating state, a first guide portion (21) of a rail (2), and the second guide seat is designed to receive, in said operating state, a second guide portion (22) of the rail (2), the first and second guide seat surrounding the respective one of the first and second guide portion and thereby fixing the carriage (3) to the rail in a longitudinally displaceable manner,
- wherein the carriage (3) has a carriage body and an actuating arm (5) which together form the first guide seat (31), the actuating arm (5) being fixed to the carriage body so as to be guided displaceably with respect thereto perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction (X) in order to enable opening of the first guide seat (31) by displacing the actuating arm (5) for removing the first guide portion (21) from the first guide seat (31, 32) or for introducing the first guide portion (21) into the first guide seat (31) along a removal direction running perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (X),
- wherein a guide device forms a stop which defines an end of a displacement path, the actuating arm (5) being displaceable relative to a base body (34) of the carriage body along the displacement path, starting from the operating state, until the stop is reached and forming an opening of the first guide seat, out of which the first guide portion is removeable, when the actuating arm (5) rests against the stop.
