  • Patent number: 4674272
    Abstract: A resilient element connects the housing of the spindle collar bearing with the spindle rail and contains a circumferential arrangement of resiliently flexible rods surrounding with play the housing of the spindle collar bearing in a substantially parallel relationship thereto. The resiliently flexible rods which are arranged at substantially uniform circumferential spacing from one another extend at both of their ends from an associated common retaining sleeve for the related rod ends. One such retaining sleeve is anchored at the spindle rail. The other retaining sleeve is fixedly anchored at the housing of the spindle collar bearing in a region or at a location spaced from a housing side at which the spindle exits from such housing. The resilient element forms a spatial parallelogram permitting only radial movement of the housing against the spring action of the resiliently flexible rods without inclined positioning of the housing.
