Abstract
A profile slider is attachable to a first profile element for guiding the first profile element linearly relative to a second profile element in a movement direction, and the profile slider includes a guide structure having first and second spaced sliding surfaces and an adjustment structure configured to adjust a distance between the first and second sliding surfaces so that a spacing of the sliding surfaces can be set based on the width of a guide groove of the second profile element. Also a lifting column including the profile slider and a method of assembling the lifting column.
Claims18
A profile slider for guiding a first profile element linearly relative to a second profile element in a movement direction,
- wherein the profile slider is configured to be attached to the first profile element and to contact a first guide surface of a guide groove of the second profile element, and
- wherein the profile slider is configured to be adjustable based on a distance between the first guide surface of the guide groove and a second guide surface of the guide groove.
A method for assembling a lifting column, comprising:
- attaching a profile slider to a first profile element, the profile slider having a first sliding surface and a second sliding surface;
- at least partially introducing the profile slider into a guide groove of a second profile element, the guide groove having a first guide surface and a second spaced guide surface, the second profile element being movable in a movement direction relative to the first profile element;
- and
- shifting the profile slider from a first configuration in which the first sliding surface is in contact with the first guide surface and the second sliding surface is spaced from the second guide surface to a second configuration with the first sliding surface in contact with the first guide surface and the second sliding surface in contact with the second guide surface.
The profile slider according to claim 15, wherein the open interior includes inwardly directed gear teeth and wherein the body includes exteriorly directed gear teeth, at least some of the gear teeth of the body engaging at least some of the gear teeth of the open interior.
A profile slider attachable to a first profile element for guiding the first profile element linearly relative to a second profile element in a movement direction, the profile slider comprising:
- a guide structure comprising first and second spaced sliding surfaces;
- and
- an adjustment structure configured to adjust a distance between the first and second spaced sliding surfaces.
