Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid an increase in sliding resistance between a guide rail and a guided member. <P>SOLUTION: There is a fear that a movable end side horizontal cabling part 30b of the conductive path 30 which extends from the movable end 37 along the guide rail 12 approaches the guide rail 12 side and becomes skew against the guide rail 12 when the moving end 37 and a guided member 38 move to the fold back side of the conductive path 30, if a gap is present between the movable end 37 of the conductive path 30 and the guide rail 12. However, a sliding part 43 provided to the conductive path 30 slides on a sliding guide part 13 so that the movable end side horizontal cabling part 30b is kept parallel to the guide rail 12. Therefore, a reactive force acting on the guided member 38 from the movable end 37 side comes to be parallel to the guide rail 12, thus avoiding an increase in the sliding resistance at the contact part between the guided member 38 and the guide rail 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

JP 2003-25850 A

  The movable end of the conductive path is not directly fitted to the guide rail, but is supported by a guided member fitted to the guide rail. Therefore, a gap may be generated between the movable end of the conductive path and the guide rail in the guide direction by the guide rail, that is, the direction intersecting the moving direction of the movable end.

  When the gap is open, when the movable end and the guided member move to the folded portion side of the conductive path, the portion of the conductive path that extends along the guide rail from the movable end However, it is displaced to the guide rail side to be inclined with respect to the guide rail, and the reaction force acting on the guided member from the movable end side is also inclined to the guide rail. Thus, when the reaction force against the guided member is inclined with respect to the guide rail, the sliding resistance at the contact portion between the guided member and the guide rail increases, and smooth sliding of the guided member is hindered. There is concern.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to avoid an increase in sliding resistance between a guide rail and a guided member.

  As a means for achieving the above object, the invention of claim 1 has a guide rail that is attached to the sliding door and projects inward in parallel with the sliding direction of the sliding door. A pair of guide members and a flexible conductive path arranged in a folded manner between the pair of guide members, the fixed end of the conductive path being connected to the guided member, A guide member is fixed in a movement restricted state with respect to the slide door, a movable end of the conductive path is slidably fitted to the pair of guide rails, and the movable end of the conductive path and the guide rail There is a guide device for a conductive path for a sliding door in which there is a gap in a direction intersecting the guide direction by the guide rail, and the guide member includes the guide device Sliding contact guide means parallel to the guide direction by the id rail is formed, and the conductive path is provided with sliding contact means capable of sliding contact with the sliding contact guide means, and the sliding contact means is in sliding contact with the sliding contact guide means. The state is characterized in that the region of the conductive path in which the sliding contact means is provided is configured to be maintained in a posture parallel to the guide rail.

  The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention of claim 1, the sliding contact means is arranged at a plurality of positions spaced apart in the length direction of the conductive path.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the routing portion is located on the opposite side of the guide rail across the conductive path and extends along the routing path of the portion connected to the fixed end of the conductive path so that the routing portion is the guide. Provided with a restricting portion that restricts displacement so as to swell toward the opposite side of the rail, the collision sound with other members on the surface that can correspond to the restricting portion in the conductive path is less than the collision sound of the conductive path The buffer member is provided, and the buffer member is brought into contact with the restricting portion when the folded portion of the conductive path is displaced in a substantially linear shape toward the restricting portion. Or the thing of Claim 2 WHEREIN: It has the characteristics in the said sliding contact means being formed in the said buffer member.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the sliding contact guide means is formed on both of the pair of guide members, and both side edges in the width direction of the sliding contact means are in sliding contact with the pair of sliding contact guide means. 4.

<Invention of Claim 1>
When there is a gap between the movable end of the conductive path and the guide rail, the movable end and the guided member move from the movable end of the conductive path along the guide rail when moving toward the folded portion of the conductive path. There is a concern that the extending portion approaches the guide rail side and assumes an oblique posture with respect to the guide rail. However, in the present invention, when the sliding contact means provided on the conductive path is in sliding contact with the sliding guide means, the portion extending from the movable end of the conductive path is maintained in a posture parallel to the guide rail. Therefore, the reaction force acting on the guided member from the movable end side is in a direction parallel to the guide rail. This avoids an increase in sliding resistance at the contact portion between the guided member and the guide rail.

<Invention of Claim 2>
Since the sliding contact means are arranged at a plurality of positions spaced in the length direction of the conductive path, the sliding resistance is reduced compared to the case where the sliding contact means is continuous in the length direction of the conductive path. can do.

<Invention of Claim 3>
Since the buffer member also serves as the slidable contact means, an increase in the number of parts can be avoided as compared with the case where the slidable contact means is separate from the buffer member.

<Invention of Claim 4>
In a structure in which both side edges in the width direction of the sliding contact means are in sliding contact with the pair of sliding contact guiding means, when the conductive path is twisted and the sliding contact means tilts in the width direction, the sliding contact means There is a concern that the sliding resistance between the slidable contact guide means and the sliding contact guide means increases. However, in the present invention, the conductive path is provided with an elongated flexible holding body in which a plurality of holding pieces are connected by a shaft in the width direction, so there is no risk of the conductive path being twisted, and both side edges of the sliding contact means Can be kept in sliding contact with the pair of sliding contact guide means.

<Embodiment 1>

  The guide device A of the present embodiment is fixedly attached to a slide door S provided on the left side of a vehicle body (not shown) of an automobile, and is provided on a vehicle body side circuit (not shown) provided on the vehicle body and the slide door S. A flexible conductive path 30 for electrically connecting to a door-side circuit (not shown) is bent while being folded back in a predetermined area as the slide door S is opened and closed. It is designed to guide you so that you can keep it. In the following description, with respect to the front-rear direction, the right direction in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 is the front, and the left-right direction is based on FIGS. 2 and 3.

  The guide device A includes a pair of left and right base members 10 (guide members that are constituent elements of the present invention) and a regulating member 20 that is attached to the upper edge of the left base member 10 (holding members that are constituent elements of the present invention). And. The base member 10 has a function of guiding the movable end 37 positioned on the lower side of the conductive path 30, and the regulating member 20 has a function of holding the fixed end 36 positioned on the upper side of the conductive path 30. In the device A, these two functions are shared by separate members (the base member 10 and the regulating member 20) arranged in two upper and lower stages.

  The base member 10 has a form extending linearly in the front-rear direction (that is, substantially parallel to the moving direction when the slide door S is opened and closed), and is an extruded material having a long, substantially flat plate shape made of aluminum alloy, that is, The cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the length direction is made of a constant material over the entire length. This extruded material is cut into a predetermined length according to the vehicle type (that is, the longitudinal length of the sliding door S, the accommodation space of the guide device A in the sliding door S, etc.), and thereby the base member 10 is obtained. The two base members 10 obtained by cutting are arranged in parallel to each other so as to be symmetrical.

The pair of base members 10 are arranged at the same height in such a direction that the inner surfaces of the substantially flat main body 11 are parallel to each other and face in the left-right direction. ing. At the lower end of the main body 11, guide rails 12 having a substantially U-shaped cross section in the horizontal direction and a folded portion positioned inside are formed so as to protrude inward at the same height.

  Further, at a position slightly above the guide rail 12 of the main body portion 11, there is a sliding contact guide portion 13 (sliding contact guide means which is a constituent element of the present invention) having a substantially horizontal I shape (horizontal plate shape). The main body 11 protrudes from the inner surface to the inside at a substantially right angle and is formed at the same height. The projecting dimension of the sliding guide part 13 from the inner surface of the main body part 11 is substantially the same as the projecting dimension of the guide rail 12 from the inner surface of the main body part 11. In addition, about the protrusion dimension of the sliding contact guide part, as long as the sliding contact part 43 mentioned later can contact | abut (hook), it may be longer or shorter than the protrusion dimension of the guide rail 12. FIG.

  An attachment portion 14 for attaching the regulating member 20 is formed at the upper end portion of the main body portion 11. The mounting portion 14 has a mounting groove 15, and the inner space of the mounting groove 15 is an L-shaped cross-sectional shape, that is, a cross section in which the left and right width of the substantially upper half region is larger than the left and right width of the substantially lower half region. It has a shape. Further, the upper end of the mounting groove 15 is opened upward as an opening portion narrower than the width dimension of the substantially upper half region in the internal space. The opening is arranged inwardly, and thus, a horizontal receiving surface 16 located adjacent to the outside of the opening is formed on the upper end surface of the base member 10 (mounting portion 14).

  Further, the base member 10 is formed with a plurality of hitting portions 17 with appropriate intervals in the length direction (front-rear direction). The hitting portion 17 has a circular shape and is bulged in the shape of a dish. The hitting portion 17 has a concentric circular through hole 18 formed therein.

  The pair of left and right base members 10 are assembled together via a cylindrical spacer 19 having an axis line in the left-right direction. With the left and right end surfaces of the spacer 19 being in close contact with the inner surface of the protruding portion 17, a bolt (not shown) that has been penetrated from the outside into the through hole 18 of one base member 10 is penetrated into the hollow of the spacer 19. Then, the base member 10 is protruded outward from the through hole 18 of the other base member 10, and a nut (not shown) is screwed and tightened to the protruding portion of the bolt, whereby the pair of base members 10 are separated by a spacer 19 at a predetermined interval. It is fixed in a state with a gap.

  The restriction member 20 has a substantially flat plate shape as a whole. The longitudinal length of the regulating member 20 is shorter than the base member 10, and the height dimension of the regulating member 20 is smaller than the longitudinal length of the regulating member 20 and larger than the height dimension of the base member 10. The regulating member 20 is made of synthetic resin in the present embodiment, but may be made of metal. The restriction member 20 is arranged so as to be substantially flush with the left base member 10 upward. A rib 21 extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the lower end surface of the regulating member 20 so as to protrude downward over the entire length of the regulating member 20. The rib 21 has a substantially L-shaped cross-sectional shape that can be closely fitted in the mounting groove 15. Further, the lower end surface of the regulating member 20, that is, the region outside the rib 21 on the surface where the rib 21 is formed, is a horizontal contact surface 22 that is in close contact with the horizontal receiving surface 16 of the mounting portion 14 of the base member 10. ing. The restricting member 20 has the rear end thereof matched with the rear end of the left base member 10, and the rib 21 is fitted into the mounting groove 15 and the horizontal contact surface 22 is in surface contact with the horizontal receiving surface 16. It is attached in a state of being in contact with the shape.

  A front reinforcing portion 23 and a rear reinforcing portion 24 each formed of a plurality of reinforcing walls projecting inward are formed on the front end portion and the rear end portion of the inner surface (right side surface) of the regulating member 20. On the outer surface of the restricting member 20, an outer surface side reinforcing portion 25 constituted by a plurality of reinforcing walls is formed with a projecting dimension smaller than that of the front reinforcing portion 23 and the rear reinforcing portion 24.

  On the upper edge of the restricting member 20 that extends linearly in the front-rear direction, a restricting wall 26 (a restricting portion that is a constituent feature of the present invention) is formed to protrude inwardly (rightward) at a substantially right angle. The projecting dimension of the restriction wall 26 is slightly larger than the width dimension of the holding piece 34 of the conductive path 30 described later, that is, slightly smaller than the distance between the left and right base members 10. Further, both front and rear end portions of the restriction wall 26 are connected to the front reinforcing portion 23 and the rear reinforcing portion 24. Further, a notched portion 28 for holding a fixed end 36 of the conductive path 30 described later is formed in the inclined portion 27 of the forward inclination gradient at the front end portion of the regulating wall 26.

  Next, the conductive path 30 will be described.

  The conductive path 30 includes a harness 32 in which a plurality of electric wires 31 are bundled, and a flexible holding body 33 for holding the harness 32 in a folded shape. The flexible holding body 33 relatively displaces a plurality of holding pieces 34 having a frame shape that is hollow so that the harness 32 can be inserted through the connecting shaft 35 in the left-right direction (an axis that is a constituent feature of the present invention). It is possible and connected in series. The flexible holding body 33 has an endless caterpillar shape or a chain shape so that adjacent holding pieces 34 can be freely bent on a two-dimensional plane orthogonal to the connecting shaft 35 with each connecting shaft 35 as a fulcrum. Eggplant. When the flexible holding body 33 is bent, the holding pieces 34 are not twisted or tilted in a direction parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 35. The harness 32 is held so as to be integrally displaced (bent) by the flexible holding body 33 in a form penetrating the inside of each holding piece 34. Further, the horizontal width dimension of the holding piece 34 is smaller than the interval between the base members 10.

  The conductive path 30 has a fixed end 36 (that is, a holding piece 34 connected to the extreme end position on the one end side of the flexible holding body 33), which is one end portion located above the conductive path 30, in the guide device A. On the other hand, while being restricted in movement, the movable end 37 which is the other end located below the fixed end 36 (that is, the holding piece connected to the extreme end position on the other end side of the flexible holding body 33) 34) is guided so that it can move linearly in the front-rear direction with respect to the guide device A (that is, parallel to the movement path of the slide door S), and is folded back in a substantially semicircular shape. Both the holding piece 34 row on the fixed end 36 side and the holding piece 34 row on the movable end 37 side are attached to the guide device A in such a state that they can be extended horizontally forward.

  A slit 36 a is formed on the outer surface of the fixed end 36, and the fixed end 36 of the conductive path 30 moves relative to the regulating member 20 by closely fitting the slit 36 a to the notch 28 of the regulating member 20. It is fixed in a regulated state. A harness 32 is inserted into the fixed end 36, and the harness 32 is connected to a door side circuit routed in the slide door S.

  At the movable end 37, a guided member 38 having a vertical dimension and a longitudinal dimension larger than the holding piece 34 can be relatively displaced by a connecting shaft 35 parallel to the connecting shaft 35 connecting the holding pieces 34 at the front end of the upper end portion. It is connected. A harness 32 is inserted into the guided member 38, and the harness 32 is connected to a lower end portion of the guided member 38 (that is, a position below the base member 10) and has a bellows-like rubber boot 39. And is connected to the vehicle body side circuit.

  A pair of guided grooves 40 extending linearly in the front-rear direction are formed at positions below the movable end 37 on both the left and right side surfaces of the guided member 38. The pair of guided grooves 40 are regulated to be rattled in the vertical direction with respect to the pair of guide rails 12 of the base member 10 and are freely fitted in the front-rear direction. Thus, the guided member 38 and the movable end 37 are guided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction in parallel to the moving direction of the slide door S with respect to the base member 10.

  In this way, the guide device A in which the conductive path 30 is held by the base member 10 and the regulating member 20 is accommodated in a space between the outer metal panel Sa and the inner resin panel Sb of the slide door S. The base member 10 and the restricting member 20 are fixed in a state where the left side surfaces of the base member 10 and the regulating member 20 are close to each other and face the panel Sa. In addition, about the fixing means, bracket Sc previously attached to the predetermined position of the base member 10 and the control member 20 by welding, bolting, etc. is utilized. Further, the guide device A is disposed at a position relatively close to the metal panel Sa, but since there is a large space between the guide panel A and the resin panel Sb, there is a possibility that the conductive path 30 may interfere with the resin panel Sb. Absent.

  In a state where the sliding door S is positioned and closed at the front end of the moving region (see FIG. 4), the region on the fixed end 36 side of the conductive path 30 (hereinafter, “fixed end side horizontal routing portion 30a”). Are arranged along the right side surface of the restricting member 20 and the lower surface of the restricting wall 26 and substantially horizontally (straight) over almost the entire length of the restricting wall 26, and an area on the movable end 37 side (hereinafter, “ The movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b ”) is sandwiched between the base members 10, and is routed substantially horizontally (straight) along the upper surface of the guide rail 12, and further the fixed end side horizontal routing. A region bent in a substantially semicircular arc shape between the rear ends of the portion 30a and the movable end side horizontal wiring portion 30b (a region corresponding to the folded portion of the conductive path 30 of the present invention, hereinafter referred to as “arc-shaped arrangement”). The cable portion 30c ") along the rear reinforcing portion 24. It is search. At this time, the guided member 38 and the movable end 37 are located near the rear end of the guide rail 12, and the length of the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b is shorter than that of the fixed end side horizontal routing portion 30a. It has become.

  On the other hand, when the slide door S moves backward from the closed state (see FIG. 5), the guided member 38 relatively moves to the front end of the guide rail 12. Accordingly, the holding piece 34 constituting the fixed end side horizontal routing portion 30a moves downward so as to constitute the arcuate routing portion 30c, and the holding piece 34 constituting the arcuate routing portion 30c. Is moved downward to a position constituting the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b, whereby the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b is moved forward as a whole, and its longitudinal length is increased, and the arcuate arrangement The cable portion 30c is displaced forward as a whole, and the longitudinal length of the fixed end side horizontal routing portion 30a is gradually shortened so that the fixed end side horizontal routing portion 30a finally disappears.

  As the sliding door S is closed from this open state, the length of the fixed end side horizontal routing portion 30a is increased while the arcuate routing portion 30c moves rearward. There is a possibility that a surface which is outside the arc of 34 may collide with the lower surface of the regulating wall 26. Here, since the holding piece 34 is made of polyamide containing glass fiber in order to ensure rigidity, there is a concern that a large collision sound is generated when the holding piece 34 collides with the regulation wall 26. Therefore, a buffer member 41 made of POM (polyacetal) is attached to each of the holding pieces 34 arranged every two of the holding pieces 34 constituting the flexible holding body 33. Since the buffer member 41 is made of POM, the collision sound generated when the buffer member 41 collides with the restriction wall 26 is suppressed to be smaller than the collision sound of the holding piece 34.

  The buffer member 41 has a flat plate portion 42 that is parallel to the connecting shaft 35 that connects the holding pieces 34 and that is parallel to an imaginary line (imaginary plane) that connects the two connecting shafts 35 at both ends of the holding piece 34. In addition, when the flat plate portion 42 abuts against the regulation wall 26, the collision sound with the regulation wall 26 is reduced.

  In addition, the guided member 38 connected to the movable end 37 as described above has a guided groove 40 formed at a position below the movable end 37 fitted to the guide rail 12, so that the guide rail 12 There is a gap between the upper surface and the lower surface of the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b. Therefore, there is a possibility that the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b may be bent so as to hang downward due to the gap. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the right and left side edge portions of the flat plate portion 42 of the buffer member 41 projecting in a wing shape outward from the holding piece 34 function as the slidable contact portion 43 (the slidable contact means that is a component of the present invention). I try to let them. The pair of sliding contact portions 43 of the buffer member 41 attached to the holding piece 34 constituting the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b is simultaneously surfaced with respect to the upper surfaces of the sliding contact guide portions 13 of the pair of left and right base members 10. It can come into contact with or slide in contact.

  In the present embodiment, since there is a vertical gap between the movable end 37 of the conductive path 30 and the guide rail 12, the movable end 37 and the guided member 38 are on the arcuate routing portion 30 c side of the conductive path 30 ( When moving to the folding portion side), the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30b extending from the movable end 37 along the guide rail 12 of the conductive path 30 approaches the guide rail 12 so as to hang down to the guide rail 12 side. As a result, the reaction force acting on the guided member 38 from the movable end 37 side becomes the oblique direction with respect to the guide rail 12, and as a result, the guided member 38 is inclined. There is a concern that the sliding resistance at the contact portion between the guide rail 12 and the guide rail 12 increases.

  However, in the present embodiment, the base member 10 is formed with the sliding contact guide portion 13 parallel to the guide rail 12, and the conductive path 30 is provided with the sliding contact portion 43 capable of sliding contact with the sliding contact guide portion 13. In a state where the portion 43 is in sliding contact with the sliding contact guide portion 13, the movable end side horizontal routing portion 30 b in the region where the sliding contact portion 43 of the conductive path 30 is provided is parallel to the guide rail 12. I try to keep my posture. As a result, the reaction force acting on the guided member 38 from the movable end 37 side becomes parallel to the guide rail 12, and an increase in sliding resistance at the contact portion between the guided member 38 and the guide rail 12 is avoided. .

  Moreover, since the buffer member 41 in which the sliding contact portion 43 is formed is disposed at a plurality of positions spaced in the length direction of the conductive path 30, the sliding contact portion 43 is disposed in the length direction of the conductive path 30. Compared with the case where it continues, the sliding resistance between the sliding contact part 43 and the sliding contact guide part 13 is reduced.

  In addition, it is located on the upper side opposite to the guide rail 12 with the conductive path 30 interposed therebetween, and along the routing path of the fixed end side horizontal routing part 30a (part connected to the fixed end 36 of the conductive path 30) A restriction wall 26 for restricting displacement of the fixed end side horizontal wiring portion 30a so as to swell upward is provided, and a buffer member 41 is provided on a surface of the conductive path 30 that can correspond to the restriction wall 26 to When the arcuate routing portion 30c (folding portion) of the path 30 is displaced toward the substantially straight fixed end side horizontal routing portion 30a while facing the regulating wall 26, the buffer member 41 is brought into contact with the regulating wall 26. By doing so, the collision sound is made smaller than when the holding piece 34 collides with the restriction wall 26. In this embodiment, the buffer member 41 is used, and both the left and right edges of the buffer member 41 are used. The part functions as the sliding contact part 43 It has to. That is, since the buffer member 41 also serves as the sliding contact portion 43 as the sliding contact means, it is possible to avoid an increase in the number of parts compared to the case where the sliding contact means is separate from the buffer member. It is like that.

  The sliding contact guide portions 13 are formed on both of the pair of base members 10, and both side edges (sliding contact portions 43) in the width direction (left-right direction) of the buffer member 41 as the sliding contact means are a pair of sliding contact guides. In this structure, the conductive path 30 is tilted to the left or right or twisted, and either of the left and right sliding parts is in sliding contact with the sliding contact guide part 13. As a result, there is a concern that the sliding resistance increases. However, the flexible holding body 33 constituting the framework of the conductive path 30 of the present embodiment has a plurality of holding pieces 34 arranged in series by a connecting shaft 35 parallel to the separating direction of the pair of sliding contact portions 43. Since it is set as the connected form, there is no possibility that the conductive path 30 may be tilted to the left or right or twisted, and the pair of sliding contact portions 43 can be kept in a state of sliding contact with both the pair of sliding contact guide portions 13.

  Further, when a base member having a guide rail for guiding the movable end 37 of the conductive path 30 is manufactured by press molding, it is necessary to prepare a dedicated press die for each vehicle type in order to cope with different vehicle types. There is concern that costs will soar. However, since the base member 10 of the present embodiment has a constant cross-sectional shape that is perpendicular to the direction parallel to the guide rail 12 over the entire length, the base material (extruded material) formed in a long shape is used for the vehicle type. It is possible to obtain the base member 10 only by cutting to a predetermined length according to the above. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a press die for each vehicle type, and costs can be reduced. Further, since the base member 10 is symmetrical with respect to the moving path of the movable end 37, only one type of raw material is required to be formed in a long shape, and the cost can be reduced also in this respect. It is like that.

  In the case where the fixed end 36 of the conductive path 30 is directly fixed to the slide door S, the conductive path 30 has a movable end 37 with respect to the guide apparatus A when the guide apparatus A is not attached to the slide door S. Since the fixed end 36 fluctuates or hangs down from the guide device A, there is a concern that the guide device A and the conductive path 30 become difficult to handle. However, in the present embodiment, the restricting member 20 is attached to the attachment portion 14 of the base member 10, and the restricting member 20 holds the fixed end 36 of the conductive path 30, so that the conductive path with respect to the guide device A is maintained. 30 can be integrated with both ends supported. Accordingly, the guide device A and the conductive path 30 can be easily handled.

  In addition, since the regulating member 20 having a configuration along the movement path of the conductive path 30 is attached to the mounting portion 14 of the base member 10, the direction in which the conductive path 30 deviates from the movement path, that is, upward or leftward Displacement to the metal panel Sa side of the slide door S is prevented. This prevents the conductive path 30 (flexible holder 33) from interfering with the metal panel Sa.

<Embodiment 2>
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the first embodiment, the sliding contact guide portion 13 is provided separately from the guide rail 12, but in the second embodiment, the guide rail 12 also serves as the sliding contact guide portion (sliding contact guide means). Further, the buffer member 50 attached to the holding piece 34 has a flat plate portion 51 and a pair of left and right plates protruding from the right and left side edges of the flat plate portion 51 downward at right angles (toward the filling surface of the guide rail 12). The slidable contact portion 52 is formed. The lower end surfaces of both sliding contact portions are in contact with or in sliding contact with the upper surface of the guide rail 12. Since the configuration other than the above is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same components are only given the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
