Abstract
A lower railhas a first cut-and-raised piece, and an upper railhas a second cut-and-raised piece. The first and second cut-and-raised pieceseach have a facing surfacethat faces and is contactable with the facing surface of the other cut-and-raised piece along the moving direction of the upper rail. The first and second cut-and-raised piecesare engaged with each other so as to limit the movement range of the upper railrelative to the lower rail. On the facing surfaceand the facing surface, inclination angles α and β are provided that generate a force causing the first and second cut-and-raised piecesto be more deeply engaged with each other, respectively. This prevents the first and second cut-and-raised piecesfrom being easily disengaged from each other.
