  • Patent number: 6513976
    Abstract: In a linear guide arrangement (10a) with an elongated guide rail (12a) and a guide carriage (14a) that can travel thereon in the lengthwise direction (L) of the guide rail (12a), a surface of the guide rail (12a) facing the guide carriage (14a) is covered by a cover band (24a). A band securing element (32a) is placed in the vicinity of each of the two longitudinal ends (30a) of the guide rail (12a). The two band securing elements (32a) jointly secure the cover band (24a) at least with respect to its displacement in lengthwise direction (L) of the guide rail (12a), wherein each of the band securing elements (32a) at least impedes movement of the cover band (24a) relative to the guide rail (12a) directed towards the other band securing element (32a). At least one of the band securing elements (32a) can be non-positively engaged with the cover band (24a) as well as with the guide rail (12a).
