Abstract
A flexible bearing bar includes a flexurally soft tensile member carrying, on one side thereof, a multiplicity of compressive elements disposed successively in series and formed with respective contact surfaces, said tensile member being supportable on two supports, and said contact surfaces being subjectible to a load acting between said supports, from said compressive elements in a direction towards said tensile member for keeping said contact surfaces, respectively, in contact with one another.
Claims22
A flexible bearing bar comprising:
- a flexurally soft tensile member;
- and
- thrust elements disposed successively in series on one side of said tensile member, said thrust elements being formed with respective contact surfaces, said contact surfaces being in contact with one another upon subjecting said thrust elements to a load in a direction from said thrust elements towards said tensile member, said contact surfaces not being in contact with one another upon subjecting said thrust elements to a load in a direction from said tensile member towards said thrust elements.
