Abstract
A linear motion guide unit is disclosed wherein the end seals may be simply attached and/or detached from the end surfaces of the end caps to deal with the miniaturization. The end caps are provided on the end surfaces thereof with protuberances while the end seals are formed with perforations in correspondence with the protuberances. The protuberances each are of a rectangular contour in plan view and have jaws on its widthwise-opposing sides. The jaws may make engagement with stopper edges formed along the perforations. The end seals may be mounted onto the end surfaces of the end caps by simply forcing the end seals against the end caps, thereby making engagement of the protuberances with the perforations.
