Sled-guide-assembly in particular for optical attenuators

Sled for a sled-guide-assembly, in particular of an optical attenuating device, wherein

• the sled comprises an outer contour, which is insertable in a receiving space,
• the receiving space is formed between two guide rails of an inner contour,
• the guide rails extend parallel to each other,
• the inner contour is formed at a guidance of the sled-guide-assembly,
• the sled supports outside of the receiving space an object, in particular an optical attenuating element,
• the inner contour comprises a receiving space between the guide rails,
• the outer contour comprises first edges and second edges,
• the first edges rest against the guide rails at a first side, which is turned to the object, and overlap this first side transversally to the longitudinal direction of the guide rails,
• the second edges rest against the guide rails at a second side, which is turned away from the object, and overlap this second side transversally to the longitudinal direction of the guide rails,
• the first edges or the second edges are flexible and abut with tension against the guide rails.

Optical attenuator comprising a sled-guide-assembly, wherein

• the sled-guide-assembly comprises a straight guidance and a sled, which is guidedly and bidirectionally movable within the guidance,
• the guidance has an inner contour, comprising at least two guide rails,
• the guide rails extend parallel to each other,
• the inner contour comprises a receiving space between the guide rails,
• the sled comprises an outer contour arranged in the receiving space,
• the sled supports an object, in particular an optical attenuating element, outside of the receiving space,
• the outer contour comprises first edges and second edges,
• the first edges rest against the guide rails at a first side, which is turned to the object, and overlap this first side transversally to the longitudinal direction of the guide rails,
• the second edges rest against the guide rails at a second side, which is turned away from the object, and overlap this second side transversally to the longitudinal direction of the guide rails,
• the first edges or the second edges are flexible and abut with tension against the guide rails.
