A linear guide device includes at least one linear guide unit which has a guide housing, in which two annularly closed circulating channels are formed in each of which a multitude of roller bearing elements is received. The guide housing has a single-piece housing intermediate element which contributes to the formation of the circulating channels and through which passes at least one lubrication channel which communicates with the circulating channels. The lubrication channel passes through the single-piece housing intermediate element and extends partly also in an integral pipe-stub-like lubrication appendix of the single-piece housing intermediate element, wherein the lubrication appendix includes a lubrication opening which is accessible from outside the guide housing for bringing in lubricant.

A slide unit includes a fixed rail fixed to a main body, and provided with a first accommodation space, a movable rail connected to a drawer body to allow the drawer body to be pulled out from and pushed into the main body, provided with a second accommodation space, and configured to be movable with respect to the fixed rail, an inner rail configured such that a first end thereof is inserted in the first accommodation space and a second end thereof is inserted in the second accommodation space, so as to allow the movable rail to be slidable with respect to the fixed rail, and a plurality of slide balls inserted in the first accommodation space to be disposed between the fixed rail and the inner rail, and inserted in the second accommodation space to be disposed between the movable rail and the inner rail.

A slide rail includes a first rail, a second rail, and a third rail. The first rail is slidably coupled to the second rail. The second rail is slidably coupled to the third rail. The first rail includes a pulling tab. The second rail includes a first resilient piece and a first clearance slot. The third rail includes a positioning slot. One end of the first resilient piece is fixed to the second rail, and another end of the first resilient piece extends into the first clearance slot. When the first rail slides out, the pulling tab drives the first resilient piece and the second rail to slide out. When the first resilient piece is moved to the positioning slot, the first resilient piece resiliently bends and inserts into the positioning slot, and the first resilient piece is separated from the pulling tab.

Provided is a coating apparatus including: a stage unit which floats the substrate to a predetermined height by using wind pressure of gas; a droplet discharge unit which drops the droplet of the functional liquid on the substrate floated to the predetermined height from the stage unit; a main scanning direction moving unit which moves the substrate, which is floated to the predetermined height from the stage unit, in the main scanning direction while holding the substrate; and a sub-scanning direction moving unit which moves the droplet discharge unit in the sub-scanning direction with respect to the substrate floated to the predetermined height from the stage unit. The sub-scanning direction moving unit moves the droplet discharge unit in the sub-scanning direction while the main scanning direction moving unit repeatedly moves the substrate in the main scanning direction and the droplet discharge unit repeatedly drops the droplet.

A steering console system for a machine includes a longitudinally-extending rail configured to be fastened to a surface of the machine, the rail including a pair of convex-shaped edges, a steering console, and a console carriage slidably connected to the rail, the console carriage including a bracket, a plurality of rollers connected to the bracket, a support arm connected to the bracket to support the steering console, and a vertical pivot connected to the bracket and to the support arm. Each of the rollers has a concave groove configured to roll along the convex shaped edges, and each of the rollers is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation extending approximately normal with respect to the rail.

Center console provided with a fixed rail, extending in a longitudinal direction, a translatable member, a gearbox assembly and first and second cables. The translatable member may be coupled to the fixed rail and configured to move between a first position and a second position. The gearbox assembly may include a cable drum configured to rotate in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction. The first and second cables may each be coupled to the translatable member and a cable drum. As the cable drum rotates in the first rotational direction, the first cable may translate the translatable member towards the first position. As the cable drum rotates in the second rotational direction, the second cable may translate the translatable member towards the second position.

Provided is a damping member which can be easily mounted to a rolling guide device already in use, can avoid an increase in size of the rolling guide device, and can easily enhance a damping force in an axial direction exerted by the rolling guide device. The damping member is applied to the rolling guide device in which a moving block is assembled to a track rail through intermediation of a plurality of rolling elements, is provided to the track rail in series with the moving block, and includes: a friction member which includes a sliding contact pad in contact with at least the track rail; and a fixing holder, which includes a holding portion configured to cover the friction member so as to press the sliding contact pad against the track rail, and is configured to couple the friction member to the moving block.

A ball carriage includes a raceway including an engagement segment to urge balls into rolling engagement with an element that is movable relative to the ball carriage. The engagement segment defines an opening through which balls are to engage the element. The raceway includes a return segment including a curved surface to take balls out of engagement with the element. The engagement segment and the return segment share a raceway surface that runs a full length of the raceway to contain balls within the raceway. A ramp is positioned at a transition from the engagement segment to the return segment. The ramp rises from the raceway surface at the opening towards the return segment to guide balls out of engagement with the element and into the return segment.

A switch system for a moveable platform includes a track including an upper portion and a lower portion. A platform transition switch is connected within the track. The platform transition switch is configured to receive a wheel connected to a platform, and to transition the wheel between the upper portion and the lower portion.
