- the lubricant When the lubricant is injected through the supply hole 50 of the lid member 5, the lubricant flows simultaneously into the introduction paths 51 a and 51 b provided in the lid member 5. Thereafter, in the first path, the lubricant flows through the first connection path 91, then passes through the first discharge groove 92 and the second discharge groove 93, and flows into the direction change paths 60-1 and 60-2. Will do. As described above, since each of the direction change paths 60-1 and 60-2 is connected to the load passage 43, the lubricant flowing in the first path is discharged into the load passage 43.
- the lubricant that has flowed through the introduction path 51b of the lid member 5 passes through the second connection path 96, the first discharge groove 92, and the second discharge groove 93, and thereby each direction change path.

- the lubricant path can be formed in a smooth plane, and the lubricant path can be simplified. Further, even when grease containing a thickener is used as the lubricant, it is possible to prevent the grease from staying in the lubricant path. As a result, it is possible to appropriately discharge the lubricant to each infinite circulation path, and thus it is possible to achieve smooth movement of the moving member 3 along the track member 2.

- FIG. 12 since the second connection path 96 is formed in a tunnel shape, the opening of the second connection path 96 connected to the discharge grooves 92 and 93 is used as an orifice. Works. Due to the function of the orifice, the flow resistance when the lubricant flowing in the first connection path 91 attempts to enter the second connection path 96 is increased. As a result, the lubricant that has flowed through the first connection path 91 is less likely to flow into the second connection path 96, but is more likely to flow into the discharge grooves 92 and 93 having a relatively low flow resistance. Yes.

- FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the uneven state of the second path on the inner surface of the circulation path assembly 6-1 and the lid member 5.
- FIG. 13 in the second path, the first connection path is provided for the lubricant that has flowed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. A large flow resistance acts when trying to enter into 91.
- the lubricant that has flowed through the second connection path 96 is less likely to flow into the first connection path 91 and is likely to flow into the discharge grooves 92 and 93.
- the first path is configured in the first path by the configuration of the step portion 91a formed in the first connection path 91 and the tunnel-shaped second connection path 96. It is possible to prevent the lubricant from flowing into the second connection path 96 that is not used as one path.
- the second path it is possible to prevent the lubricant from flowing into the first connection path 91 that is not used as the second path.
- the second connection path 96 is formed in a tunnel shape.
- the opening of the second connection path 96 connected to the introduction path 51b of the lid member 5 functions as an orifice for reducing the flow rate of the lubricant flowing in the introduction path 51b.
- the flow rate of the lubricant in the second path and the flow rate of the lubricant in the first path are not uniform.
- the pair of circulation path assemblies 6-1 and 6-2 are assembled to the lid member 5 in directions different from each other by 180 °.
- the first connection path 91 hatchched portion
- the first connection path 91 is formed with the step portion 91a, and the first connection path 91 is set to have a smaller cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of the introduction path 51 of the lid member 5.
- the step 91a functions as an aperture.
- the flow rate of the lubricant when flowing from the introduction path 51a into the first connection path 91 in the first path is adjusted.
- the flow resistance by the step 91 a of the first connection path 91 and the flow resistance by the second connection path 96 are configured to be substantially the same. Therefore, as a result of injecting the lubricant from the supply hole 50 of the lid member 5, the lubricant flow rate in the first path and the lubricant flow rate in the second path can be made uniform.
- the rolling guide device relates to a linear guide device in which the track member 2 is formed in a linear shape, but the present invention is applied to a curve guide device in which the track member 2 is formed in a curved shape. It is also possible.
- the outer direction change path and the inner direction change path intersect each other, and two endless circulation paths are formed in each leg portion 4b of the main body member 4,
- the present invention can be applied to other rolling guide devices. That is, for example, it is also possible to apply to a rolling guide device that has a single endless circulation path for each leg 4b and that does not cross the direction change path.
- the transfer path is branched into the first discharge groove 92 and the second discharge groove 93, but the present invention is applied to a rolling guide device in which the direction change paths do not intersect. In this case, the transfer path need not be branched.
- the direction changing path may be formed by combining the lid member and the circulation path assembly, and the entire direction changing path is formed in the circulation path assembly. There may be.
- the step 91a formed in the first connection path 91 is provided in the entire area of the first connection path 91, and the step 91a is the first connection path. It does not matter if it is not formed over the entire area of 91.
