Claim 1

AN APPARATUS FOR GUIDING A MEMBER ALONG A STATIONARY GUIDE PATH OF GUIDE BODY COMPRISING, A LONGITUDINAL GUIDE BODY HAVING OPPOSITE LONGITUDINAL SURFACES DEFINING A FIRST GUIDE SURFACE AND A SECOND GUIDE SURFACE, RESPECTIVELY, A LONGITUDINAL SUPPORT HAVING A SUPPORTING SURFACE AND LONGITUDINALLY DISPOSED RELATIVE TO SAID GUIDE BODY, A GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER MOVABLY SUPPORTED ON SAID SUPPORTING SURFACE AND HAVING FIRST AND SECOND SIDES, RESPECTIVELY, EXTENDING ADJACENT AND IN SPACED RELATIONSHIP RELATIVE TO SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE AND SECOND GUIDE SURFACT RESPECTIVELY, SAID SUPPORTING GUIDE SURFACE BEING DISPOSED INDEPENDENT FROM SAID GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY, A U-SHAPED MEMBER CARRIER MOVABLY SUPPORTED ON SAID SUPPORTING GUIDE SURFACE AND EXTENDING THEREFROM ADJACENT SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY BETWEEN SAID FIRST SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER AND SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE, FIRST SELECTIVELY ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER FOR PRESSING SAID MEMBER CARRIER AGAINST SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE, SAID MEMBER CARRIER CONSTITUTING A FIRST PRESSURE ELEMENT, A COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT DISPOSED BETWEEN SAID SECOND SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER AND SAID SECOND GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY, SECOND PRESSURE MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID SECOND SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER FOR PRESSING SAID COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT AGAINST SAID SECOND GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY, SAID MEMBER CARRIER AND SAID COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT AND SAID FIRST AND SECOND PRESSURE MEANS ALIGNED TO APPLY PRESSURE FROM OPPOSITE SIDES OF SAID GUIDE BODY THROUGH SAID MEMBER CARRIER AND SAID COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT, RESPECTIVELY, PARALLEL TO THE DIRECTION OF SAID PRESSING OF SAID PRESSURE TO THE DIRECTION SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS AND SAID MEMBER CARRIER ADAPTED FOR LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT OF SAID MEMBER CARRIER AGAINST SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE WHEN SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS IS LONGITUDINALLY MOVED, AND SAID SELECTIVELY ADJUSTABLE FIRST PRESSURE MEANS FURTHER CONSTITUTES A COUPLER BETWEEN SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS AND SAID MEMBER CARRIER FOR MOVING SAID MEMBER CARRIER LONGITUDINALLY ALONG SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE WHEN SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS IS LONGITUDINALLY MOVED.

Claim 2

AN APPARATUS FOR GUIDING A MEMBER ALONG A STATIONARY GUIDE PATH OF GUIDE BODY COMPRISING, A LONGITUDINAL GUIDE BODY HAVING OPPOSITE LONGITUDINAL SURFACES DEFINING A FIRST GUIDE SURFACE AND A SECOND GUIDE SURFACE, RESPECTIVELY, A LONGITUDINAL SUPPORT HAVING A SUPPORTING SURFACE AND LONGITUDINALLY DISPOSED RELATIVE TO SAID GUIDE BODY, A GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER MOVABLY SUPPORTED ON SAID SUPPORTING SURFACE AND HAVING FIRST AND SECOND SIDES, RESPECTIVELY, EXTENDING ADJACENT AND IN SPACED RELATIONSHIP RELATIVE TO SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE AND SECOND GUIDE SURFACT RESPECTIVELY, SAID SUPPORTING GUIDE SURFACE BEING DISPOSED INDEPENDENT FROM SAID GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY, A U-SHAPED MEMBER CARRIER MOVABLY SUPPORTED ON SAID SUPPORTING GUIDE SURFACE AND EXTENDING THEREFROM ADJACENT SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY BETWEEN SAID FIRST SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER AND SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE, FIRST SELECTIVELY ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER FOR PRESSING SAID MEMBER CARRIER AGAINST SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE, SAID MEMBER CARRIER CONSTITUTING A FIRST PRESSURE ELEMENT, A COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT DISPOSED BETWEEN SAID SECOND SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER AND SAID SECOND GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY, SECOND PRESSURE MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID SECOND SIDE OF SAID GENERALLY U-SHAPED MEMBER FOR PRESSING SAID COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT AGAINST SAID SECOND GUIDE SURFACE OF SAID GUIDE BODY, SAID MEMBER CARRIER AND SAID COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT AND SAID FIRST AND SECOND PRESSURE MEANS ALIGNED TO APPLY PRESSURE FROM OPPOSITE SIDES OF SAID GUIDE BODY THROUGH SAID MEMBER CARRIER AND SAID COUNTER-PRESSURE ELEMENT, RESPECTIVELY, PARALLEL TO THE DIRECTION OF SAID PRESSING OF SAID PRESSURE TO THE DIRECTION SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS AND SAID MEMBER CARRIER ADAPTED FOR LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT OF SAID MEMBER CARRIER AGAINST SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE WHEN SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS IS LONGITUDINALLY MOVED, AND SAID SELECTIVELY ADJUSTABLE FIRST PRESSURE MEANS FURTHER CONSTITUTES A COUPLER BETWEEN SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS AND SAID MEMBER CARRIER FOR MOVING SAID MEMBER CARRIER LONGITUDINALLY ALONG SAID FIRST GUIDE SURFACE WHEN SAID FIRST PRESSURE MEANS IS LONGITUDINALLY MOVED.
