また、ローラ保持窓形成部材19は、ローラ保持窓18の短辺を形成する一対の短辺形成部19b,19b(図11参照)を有しており、これら短辺形成部19bの先端部には、エンドキャップ9に形成されたフック受け部24(図12参照)と係合してローラ保持窓形成部材19をエンドキャップ9に固定するフック25(図11参照)が設けられている。   Further, the roller holding window forming member 19 has a pair of short side forming portions 19b and 19b (see FIG. 11) that form the short sides of the roller holding window 18, and at the tip of these short side forming portions 19b. Is provided with a hook 25 (see FIG. 11) that engages with a hook receiving portion 24 (see FIG. 12) formed on the end cap 9 and fixes the roller holding window forming member 19 to the end cap 9.

なお、ローラ保持窓形成部材19の長辺形成部19aには、セパレータ14の腕部14aを案内レール2の長手方向に案内する案内片26(図11参照)が形成されている。
上述した第1の実施形態のように、棒状部材17の両端に形成された突起21と嵌合して棒状部材17をエンドキャップ9に固定する二つの棒状部材固定穴22をエンドキャップ9に設けるとともに、ローラ保持窓形成部材19の長辺形成部19aと係合してローラ保持窓形成部材19をエンドキャップ9に固定する四つのローラ保持窓形成部材固定溝23をエンドキャップ9に設け、かつエンドキャップ9に形成されたフック受け部24と係合してローラ保持窓形成部材19をエンドキャップ9に固定するフック25を短辺形成部19bの先端部に設けると、ローラ保持器16の棒状部材17およびローラ保持窓形成部材19がエンドキャップ9に強固に固定される。
したがって、スライダ1に案内レール2を取付けたり、スライダ1から案内レール2を取外したりするときにローラ保持器16の棒状部材17およびローラ保持窓形成部材19がばらばらになってスライダ1から脱落することを防止することができる。
A guide piece 26 (see FIG. 11) for guiding the arm portion 14 a of the separator 14 in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 2 is formed on the long side forming portion 19 a of the roller holding window forming member 19.
As in the first embodiment described above, the end cap 9 is provided with two rod-shaped member fixing holes 22 that are fitted to the protrusions 21 formed at both ends of the rod-shaped member 17 and fix the rod-shaped member 17 to the end cap 9. In addition, the end cap 9 is provided with four roller holding window forming member fixing grooves 23 that engage with the long side forming portion 19a of the roller holding window forming member 19 and fix the roller holding window forming member 19 to the end cap 9. When the hook 25 that engages with the hook receiving portion 24 formed on the end cap 9 and fixes the roller holding window forming member 19 to the end cap 9 is provided at the tip of the short side forming portion 19b, the rod shape of the roller retainer 16 is provided. The member 17 and the roller holding window forming member 19 are firmly fixed to the end cap 9.
Therefore, when the guide rail 2 is attached to the slider 1 or the guide rail 2 is removed from the slider 1, the rod-like member 17 and the roller holding window forming member 19 of the roller holder 16 are separated and fall off from the slider 1. Can be prevented.

また、図13に示すように、ローラ保持窓形成部材19の長辺形成部19aをエンドキャップ9に設けられたローラ保持窓形成部材固定溝23に差し込むときにローラ保持窓形成部材19の短辺形成部19bを指で摘んで長辺形成部19aをローラ保持窓形成部材固定溝23に差し込むことができるため、スライダ1の組立性向上を図ることができる。
上述した第1の実施形態においては、棒状部材17の両端に形成された突起21と嵌合して棒状部材17をエンドキャップ9に固定する棒状部材固定穴22をエンドキャップ9に設けたものを例示したが、棒状部材の両端に形成された穴と嵌合して棒状部材をエンドキャップに固定する突起をエンドキャップに設けてもよい。
As shown in FIG. 13, the short side of the roller holding window forming member 19 is inserted when the long side forming portion 19 a of the roller holding window forming member 19 is inserted into the roller holding window forming member fixing groove 23 provided in the end cap 9. Since the long side forming portion 19a can be inserted into the roller holding window forming member fixing groove 23 by pinching the forming portion 19b with a finger, the assemblability of the slider 1 can be improved.
In the first embodiment described above, the end cap 9 is provided with the rod-like member fixing holes 22 that are fitted to the protrusions 21 formed at both ends of the rod-like member 17 and fix the rod-like member 17 to the end cap 9. Although illustrated, the end cap may be provided with a protrusion that fits into a hole formed at both ends of the rod member and fixes the rod member to the end cap.

また、ローラ保持窓形成部材19の短辺形成部19bの先端部に設けられるフック25は、図13に示す形状のものに限られるものでなく、たとえば、図14に示すような形状であってもよい。
図15は本発明の第2の実施形態を示す図であり、第2の実施形態が第1の実施形態と異なる点は、サイドシール15に形成された固定穴27と嵌合する突起28をフック25に設けた点である。この突起28が固定穴27に嵌合するため、ローラ保持窓形成部材19の脱落をより確実に防止できる。
Further, the hook 25 provided at the tip of the short side forming portion 19b of the roller holding window forming member 19 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 13, but has a shape as shown in FIG. Also good.
FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a projection 28 that fits into a fixing hole 27 formed in the side seal 15 is provided. This is a point provided on the hook 25. Since the protrusions 28 are fitted into the fixing holes 27, the roller holding window forming member 19 can be more reliably prevented from falling off.
