TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a sliding piece which is developed to be used in sectors with mechanical applications and in which the thickness can be adjusted according to the need.

STATE OF THE ART OF THE INVENTION (PRIOR ART)

A wear resistant and one-piece sliding guide can be used between two surfaces running linearly with each other. The material used may be plastic or other material. However, the distance between two surfaces may vary due to production conditions. For example, while the distance mentioned in one production is 8 mm, in another production this size can be 7.8 mm. In this case, problems such as jamming, gaps or not fitting may occur in the use of sliding wedge.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSES OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a sliding piece with thickness adjustment in order to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and bring new advantages to the related technical field.

The purpose of the invention is related to a sliding guide/piece which is developed to be used between two surfaces running linearly with each other and in which the thickness can be adjusted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, the innovation of the invention is only explained by examples that will not have any limiting effect for a better understanding of the subject.

The sliding piece with thickness adjustment consists of the counter piece (1), the fixed body (2) and the rotating adjustment body (3) elements. The counter piece (1) includes the flexible leg (la) and the lock tab (lb). The fixed body (2) includes the ramp (2a), the bearing (2b) and the fixing tab (2c). The rotating adjustment body (3) includes the rotating adjustment body lock tab (3a), the rotating adjustment body ramp (3b), the adjustment notch (3c) and the rotating adjustment body bearing (3d).

Figure-1 shows the top view of the product developed with the invention, figure-2 shows the bottom view, figure-3 shows the demounted view of the product.

The sliding piece with thickness adjustment is produced from thermoplastic by plastic injection method or machining method.

As seen in Figure-4, there are two flexible legs (la) on the counter piece (1). The task of the flexible leg (la) is to ensure that the tabs hold each other by pushing the lock tab (lb) towards the rotating adjustment body lock tab (3a). There can be 1, 2 or 3 flexible legs (la).

At the same time, there are lock tabs (lb) that allow movement in one direction and act as a lock in the other direction. With this structure, the product acts as a counter lock. The lock tab (lb) consists of a one-way tab. It locks the position of the rotating adjustment body (3) by working with the rotating adjustment body lock tab (3a). It also prevents it from working in the opening direction. The equivalent of the lock tab (lb) in Figure-4 is the rotating adjustment body lock tab (3a) indicated in Figure-6.

The fixed body ramp (2a) and rotating adjustment body ramp (3b) work together and adjust the h height. The “h” height is shown in figure-7. The fixed body ramp (2a) and the rotating adjustment body ramp (3b) are equal in number and can be from 1 to 6. In the design shown in the figures, their number is 2 each.

The fixed body guide (2b) and the rotating adjustment body bearing (3d) ensure that the fixed body (2) and the rotating adjustment body (3) are fixed to each other in the axial direction. In this way, the fixed body (2) and the rotating adjustment body (3) are not separated from each other against the opposite forces indicated in Figure-8.

Fixing tab (2c) is used to fix the sliding piece with thickness adjustment to the place where it will be used. It is shown in Figure 10.

The working mechanism of the product is shown in Figure-9 and Figure-10. Plate A and plate B operate as indicated in the directions indicated by the arrows, in opposite directions, in the same direction, or in such a way that one is stationary and the other is moving. Between these plates, the sliding piece with thickness adjustment provides a comfortable and wear-resistant slide.

Said plates are shown in Figure 9 as two parallel plates. In addition, there is a gap between the two plates, which is stable in the "h" dimension, but has different values in each production caused by the production source. For example, while it is h=7.8 mm in one batch production, it may be h=8.2 mm in another production batch. However, these values remain stable within themselves. The mentioned dimension is called “h” in figure-7 and Figure-9. The thickness is adjusted by pushing the rotating adjustment body (3) and the adjustment notch (3c). This process results from the relationship of the ramp (2a) and the rotating adjustment body ramp (3b) elements, and the gap between plate A and plate B is filled.

The developed product can be produced from engineering plastic that are resistant to wear and pressure force, from metal or wear resistant metals.
