Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The guiding apparatus includes a first member having a sliding groove formed along a longitudinal direction; and a plurality of second members which are slidably assembled along the sliding groove so as to hold the first member in between, wherein the first member is formed with a first mounting hole on a bottom surface of the sliding groove, and the second member is formed with a second mounting hole on a surface opposed to the bottom surface, and wherein a stopper member is mounted to each of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, each of the stopper member having an insertion part which is to be inserted into each of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole and is formed to be shorter in a length in an axial direction than a depth of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A guiding apparatus, comprising: a first member having a pair of sliding grooves formed via a wall portion along a longitudinal direction; and a plurality of second members which are slidably assembled along the pair of the sliding grooves so as to hold the first member in between, wherein the first member is formed with a first mounting hole on a bottom surface of each of the sliding grooves, and each of the second members is formed with a second mounting hole on a surface opposed to the bottom surface, and wherein a stopper member is mounted respectively to the first mounting hole on the bottom surface of each of the sliding grooves and to the second mounting hole of each of the second members via a mounting bolt, the stopper member having an insertion part and a protruding part, the insertion part being inserted respectively into each of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, the insertion part being formed to be shorter in a length in an axial direction than a depth of each of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole respectively, the protruding part protruding respectively from the bottom surface of each of the sliding grooves and from the surface of each of the second members opposed to the bottom surface, and the stopper member mounted to the first mounting hole coming into contact with the stopper member mounted to the second mounting hole during sliding of each of the second members relative to the first member. 2. The guiding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a cushioning member is mounted to the protruding part.
