A guide carriage () of a linear guide includes a circulation channel () for rolling bodies (), which is formed from a load section (), two deflection sections () and a return section (). A valve () arranged in a lubricant channel () to prevent the back flow of lubricant from the circulation channel () is arranged at a supply point () for supplying lubricating agent to one of the deflection sections (), and the deflection section () is delimited by a deflection shell () located in an end piece (). The valve () is formed integrally with at least one of the elements deflection shell () and end piece ().

Guide carriage of a linear guide and method for producing a head piece of a guide carriage

This mounting system features a base displaced from a mounting plate which is used to anchor a base mounted receiver releasably. The base has a pair of flexible arms to engage the receiver in channels that have a catch edge at the ends of the channels. The base is constructed with at least one stabilizer element and the receiver has an appropriate alignment slot. Each mounting plate, on both the base and receiver, have a plurality of apertures to facilitate attachment to fabric or a fabric patch or a fabric envelope which thereby allows attachment to different fabric devices together in a releasable yet secure manner. Those devices are to be from the following group, non-exclusive; backpack, jacket, hunting jacket, binocular case, knife case, compass case, first aid case, ammunition pouch, animal call case, web gear, etc.

Linear rolling bearing

In a linear rolling bearing comprising a guide carriage () that can be mounted through rolling bearing rollers () on a guide rail (), said guide carriage () comprising at least one endless roller channel () for the rollers (), said roller channel () comprising a load-bearing channel () for load-bearing rollers (), a return channel () for returning rollers () and two deflecting channels () that connect the load-bearing channel () and the return channel () to each other, said guide carriage () further comprising a carrier body () in which said return channel () and said load-bearing channel () are arranged, and, on two front ends of the carrier body (), end members () in which said deflecting channels () are arranged, said return channel () comprising a return tube () whose tube ends are connected to said end members (), and said roller channel comprising raceways for the rollers and side surfaces for laterally delimiting the roller channel, the return tube () comprises tongues () that engage into the end member () and form, through opposing tongue surfaces (), side surfaces () for the deflecting channel (), a parting joint () between each tongue () and the end member () being arranged at least substantially parallel to the return tube ().

Linear roller bearing

A linear rolling bearing element for mounting on a running surface of a guide rail, said element having a carrier body that comprises, for a rolling element circuit, a load-bearing zone and a return channel that are parallel to a direction of movement of the carrier body while being connected to each other by two deflecting channels disposed in head pieces that are arranged on ends of the carrier body. The head pieces comprise lubricant ducts, and a rolling element guiding means in the form of a plastic coating is arranged in the load-bearing zone, the return channel and the deflecting channels. Each head-piece is formed by a cage arranged on an end of the carrier body and by a one-piece sealing plate comprising lubricant ducts, said plate being adapted to and disposed on the cage.
