Abstract (en)

In the present slide rail a space (10A) receives a roller (4). Upper and lower rollers (4) have their respective axes for rotation (L1) having inclinations of θ DEG and -θ DEG , respectively, relative to an axis (L) perpendicular to a body (1a) of the external rail (1). Thus the slide rail can have a simple structure. <IMAGE>
