Claim:
A linear sliding guide, comprising a longitudinal guide rail ( 1 ) with guide flanks ( 9 ) which extend in a direction of sliding (S); a bearing block ( 6 ) which lodges in the longitudinal guide rail ( 1 ) and has counterpart flanks ( 10 ) that are parallel to the guide flanks ( 9 ), with the longitudinal guide rail ( 1 ) and the bearing block ( 6 ) being inter-adjustable in the direction of sliding (S); at least one compensation-for-play spring assembly ( 11 ) between the longitudinal guide rail ( 1 ) and the bearing block ( 6 ), the spring assembly ( 11 ) being comprised of a substantially cylindrical receptacle ( 16 , 23 ), which lodges in the longitudinal guide rail ( 1 ) or in the bearing block ( 6 ), which is disposed in a marginal area of the longitudinal guide rail ( 1 ) or bearing block ( 6 ) with its cylinder axis being parallel to a respective flank ( 10 ), and a clear cross section of which is laterally open by a gap ( 14 , 26 ) towards the respective flank ( 10 ); and an elastically deformable spring bushing ( 15 , 22 ) which is inserted axially parallel in the receptacle ( 13 , 23 ) such that it acts via the gap ( 14 , 26 ) on an opposite flank ( 9 ) of the bearing block ( 6 ) or longitudinal guide rail ( 1 ).
