Bearing of a telescopic connection

Bearing (1, 30) for the longitudinally moving mounting of an inner profile (2) and of an outer profile (3) on one another, the inner profile (2) and the outer profile (3) being moveable relative to one another along a longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) of the bearing (1, 30), and the bearing (1, 30) transmitting torques between the inner profile (2) and the outer profile (3), the bearing (1, 30) being with

• a sheet-metal outer sleeve (5, 31) arranged on the inside in the outer profile (3) and between the outer profile (3) and balls (4) and fixed with respect to the outer profile (3),
• at least one ball guide (6) having orbital ball raceways (10),
• resiliently elastic elements (8) for the compensation of bearing plays, and
• an overload safeguard (9) arranged between the outer profile (3) and the inner profile (2),
• and, at the same time, each of the orbital ball raceways (10) consisting of
• a row (11) of balls (4),
• a longitudinal guide (12) with a loaded subset (13) of the balls (4) of the row (11),
• a return guide (14) with a first non-loaded subset (15) of balls (4) of the row (11), and
• two deviations (16) connecting the longitudinal guide (12) to the return guide (14), the deviations (16) in each case having a second non-loaded subset (17) of balls (4) of the row (11), the bearing play directed transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) being compensated elastically in the bearing (1, 30), and, in this case, each of the loaded subsets (13) being loaded in each case by means of at least one of the elements (8) which is sprung elastically at least by the amount of half the bearing play, with the result that the inner profile (2) and the outer profile (3) are prestressed relative to one another, free of the bearing play, by means of the bearing (1, 30), and, in this case, the profiles (2, 3) moved relative to one another transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) and supported transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) on the resiliently elastic elements (8) being freely moveable with respect to one another, at least by the amount of an operating play, at the narrowest point between the outer profile (3) and the inner profile (2), and the inner profile (2) and the outer profile (3) being supported relative to one another at the overload safeguard (9) after the operating play has been overcome, wherein the ball guide (6) is produced in one part with at least one orbital ball raceway (10), the ball guide (6) being arranged on the inside in the outer profile (3) between the outer sleeve (5, 31) and the inner profile (2), and in that the safeguard (9) is in each case at least one support (25, 27) which adjoins the ball guide (6) longitudinally and is separate from the ball guide (6) and which is directed transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) of the bearing (1, 30).
