Abstract

Roller guide comprising at least one guide rail, which has at least one first and one second planar region, and comprising a first and a second roller, which are each in contact with the guide rail and roll thereon, wherein the first and the second roller are mounted so that they are rotatable about a common axis of rotation and are formed rotationally-symmetrically about the axis of rotation and a radius of the first roller is smaller than a radius of the second roller, the first roller has a first circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region and the second roller has a second circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region and a centre point of the first surface rolling region and a centre point of the second surface rolling region are arranged on the axis of rotation.

Claims (16)

1. A roller guide, comprising:

at least one guide rail, which has at least one first planar region and one second planar region, and comprising a first roller and a second roller, which are each in contact with the guide rail and roll thereon, wherein the first and the second rollers are mounted so that they are rotatable about a common axis of rotation and are formed rotationally-symmetrically about the axis of rotation and a distance of the first roller is less than a distance of the second roller,

wherein the first roller has a first circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region and the second roller has a second circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region and a center point of the first surface rolling region and a center point of the second surface rolling region are arranged on the axis of rotation.

2. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein the first roller is in contact by means of the first circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region with the first planar region via a first contact point and the second roller is in contact by means of the second circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region with the second planar region via a second contact point.

3. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein the first circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region and the second circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region are arranged in a common plane which comprises the axis of rotation.

4. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein the first planar region has a first circular-segment-shaped portion having a radius which is larger than a radius of the first circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region, or the first planar region has a first level portion.

5. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein the second planar region has a second level portion.

6. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein the roller guide has a shaft rotatable about the axis of rotation, on which the first roller and the second roller are arranged, wherein the shaft has at least one pre-tensioned spring element at a first end and wherein the spring element is at least in operational contact with the first roller.

7. The roller guide according to claim 6 , wherein the pre-tensioned spring element consists at least in part of an elastomer.

8. The roller guide according to claim 6 , wherein the pre-tensioned spring element has a ball element and a pre-tensioned compression spring, wherein the ball element is pre-tensioned by means of the compression spring.

9. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein bearings of the first roller and bearings of the second roller each comprise one selected from a group comprising a needle bearing, a ball bearing, or a combination thereof.

10. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein the first roller has a third circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region having a third centre point, which is arranged on the axis of rotation, wherein the first roller is additionally in contact by means of the third circular-segment-shaped surface rolling region with a third planar region of the guide rail via a third contact point.

11. The roller guide according to claim 10 , wherein the first contact point and the third contact point have the same radial distance to the axis of rotation.

12. The roller guide according to claim 1 , wherein the first roller is exclusively in contact by means of the first contact point with the first planar region and the second roller is exclusively in contact by means of the second contact point with the second planar region.

13. The roller guide according to claim 10 , wherein the first roller is exclusively in contact with the first planar region and the third planar region and the second roller is exclusively in contact with the second planar region.

14. A vehicle seat, comprising the roller guide according to claim 1 .
