Abstract

A slide bearing for guiding a translationally movable sliding part has a first part having a first guide surface suitable for interacting with a first sliding surface of the sliding part and a second part having a second guide surface suitable for interacting with a second sliding surface of the sliding part. The second part is movable relative to the first part. A guide part is connected to the first part so as to be movable in a first direction and a second direction. A pressure device urges the second part toward the first guide surface such that the first guide surface directly engages the first sliding surface and the second guide surface directly engages the second sliding surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A slide bearing for guiding a translationally movable sliding part, the bearing comprising:
a first part having a first guide surface suitable for interacting with a first sliding surface of the sliding part;
a second part having a second guide surface suitable for interacting with a second sliding surface of the sliding part, the second part being configured to be movable relative to the first part;
a guide part connected to the first part so as to be movable in a first direction and a second direction; and
a pressure device urging the second part toward the first guide surface such that the first guide surface directly engages the first sliding surface and the second guide surface directly engages the second sliding surface.

2. The slide bearing according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second guide surfaces is planar or curved for guiding one of the sliding surfaces.

3. The slide bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the first guide surface and the second guide surface are parallel to one another.

4. The slide bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the second part and the first part are mounted on one another such that the second part can be moved relative to the first part.

5. The slide bearing according to claim 1 , wherein chamfers that make it easier to mount the sliding part between the guide surfaces are formed on the first part and/or on the second part so as to be adjacent to the guide surface.

6. The slide bearing according to claim 1 , wherein at least one region of an outer surface of the slide bearing is at least partly cylindrical or spherical.

7. The slide bearing according to claim 1 , wherein, viewed in a movement direction of the sliding part, the slide bearing has an approximately C-shape with an opening for receiving the sliding surfaces.

8. An accessory comprising:
a base;
a slide bearing;
a sliding part mounted for translational movement relative to the base by the slide bearing,
a bar having a first sliding surface and a second sliding surface,
a bearing seat of the slide bearing, the slide bearing having a first guide surface and a second guide surface, the slide bearing having a first part having the first guide surface suitable for interacting with the first sliding surface;
a second part having the second guide surface suitable for interacting with the second sliding surface, the second part being configured to be movable relative to the first part; and
a pressure device urging the second part toward the first guide surface such that the first guide surface directly engages the first sliding surface and the second guide surface directly engages the second sliding surface, the slide bearing being on the sliding part or on the base and the bar being on the other element of sliding part or base.

9. An accessory comprising:
a base;
a slide bearing;
a sliding part mounted for translational movement relative to the base by the slide bearing,
a bar having a first sliding surface and a second sliding surface,
a bearing seat of the slide bearing, the slide bearing having a first guide surface and a second guide surface,
a first part of the slide bearing having the first guide surface suitable for interacting with the first sliding surface,
a second part of the slide bearing having the second guide surface suitable for interacting with the second sliding surface, the second part being configured to be movable relative to the first part,
a guide part of the slide bearing movable relative to the first part and to the second part; and
a pressure device urging the second part and the third part away from each other and thereby urging the second part toward the first guide surface such that the first guide surface directly engages the first sliding surface and the second guide surface directly engages the second sliding surface, and such that the guide part is pressed against a surface of the bearing seat, the slide bearing being on the sliding part or on the base and the bar being on the other element of sliding part or base.

10. An accessory comprising:
a base part;
a slide bearing;
a sliding part mounted for translational movement relative to the base part and slidable supported by the slide bearing;
a first part of the slide bearing having a first guide surface suitable for interacting with a first sliding surface;
a second part of the slide bearing having a second guide surface, suitable for interacting with a second sliding surface, and configured to be movable relative to the first part;
a pressure device urging the second part toward the first guide surface such that the first guide surface directly engages the first sliding surface and the second guide surface directly engages the second sliding surface; and
a bar that has the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface, the slide bearing being fixed or movable in a bearing seat, the slide bearing being on one of the sliding part or the base part and the bar being on the other of the sliding part or base part.

11. The accessory according to claim 10 , wherein the slide bearing is received in the bearing seat so as to be rotatable.

12. The accessory according to claim 10 , wherein an outer surface of the slide bearing is at least partly cylindrical or spherical at least in regions and the bearing seat of the slide bearing is complementary to the outer surface at least in regions.
