  • Patent number: 6672763
    Abstract: A bridge bearing in which a substructure and a superstructure are displaceably connected to each other by means of a sliding bearing, whereby the displacement occurs in a linear and/or cardanic manner in at least one of the directions X, Y, and Z. The bearing is characterized in that a carriage (7) that is connected to a cover plate (10) is guided in a linear manner in the X and/or Y direction by two interspaced shafts (5, 4), respectively, on which displaceable slide bushings (9, 8) are arranged and/or the cover plate can be guided in a tiltable manner by a pivot bearing (18) in the Z direction. This combination of a linear and pivot bearing enables all alignment errors arising as a result of finishing inaccuracies, foundation subsidence, desired and undesirable slanting to be compensated and regulates the variations in lengths due to temperature and load.
