The depressions 89 may in particular be groove-shaped or groove-shaped and, as shown, cover the sliding surface 88 in the form of a net. In particular, the longitudinal extent of the recesses 89 can extend obliquely to the direction of displacement of the movable side frame part 12 to z. B. an automatic emptying of the recesses 89 to allow, and in particular with the displacement direction include an angle of 45 °. It is particularly preferred if, as in, for example Fig. 19 illustrated, the sliding surface 88 has a grid on intersecting groove-shaped recesses 89 which extend obliquely to the direction of displacement of the side frame part 12.

It is preferred if the depressions 89 of the sliding surface 88 occupy a relatively large area fraction of more than 10% of the sliding surface 88, preferably of more than 20%, in particular an area fraction of between 25% and 35%, for example in the case of the preferred embodiment an area percentage of 30% +/- 3%.

For lateral guidance or adjustment of the movable side frame member 12 are at the bottom of one or both sliding side frame parts 12, preferably only on the centering device 44 supporting side frame member 12, optionally positionally adjustable guide roller support 92; 93; 94 attached to which guide rollers 96; 97; 98; 99 are mounted with vertically arranged axis of rotation, which are supported on both sides of the guide rail 58 at the narrow side and so a To allow guidance or adjustment of the movably mounted side frame part 12, cf. especially Fig. 17 , The guide roller carrier 92 carries an internally arranged guide roller 96, the guide roller carrier 93 has an externally arranged guide roller 97 and the guide roller carrier 94 has both an internally arranged guide roller 98 and an externally arranged guide roller 99.
