Patent number: 11415172Abstract: The invention concerns a telescopic rail comprising a first rail element with two running surfaces, a second rail element with two running surfaces, at least one rolling body cage for positioning a plurality of rolling bodies. Such telescopic rails are found to suffer from the disadvantage that the rail elements and the rolling body cages all have to be designed to be moveable relative to each other. Accordingly, the invention proposes providing a telescopic rail in which the rolling body cage is secured to the first rail element so that the rolling bodies perform a sliding movement with respect to the running surfaces of the first rail element and the rolling bodies perform a sliding movement with respect to the running surfaces of the second rail element or roll on the running surfaces of the second rail element.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: ACCURIDE INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Christoph Neuhaus, Thomas Quirein
