Patent ID: 6865848

Claim:
A sliding element system comprising at least one sliding element ( 2 ), at least one supporting element ( 4 ) extending in a displacement direction, at least one sliding element fitting ( 6 , 8 ) holding the sliding element ( 2 ) and being displaceable along the at least one supporting element ( 4 ), the sliding element ( 2 ) being formed of at least partially transparent material and including at least two transparent conducting current paths ( 10 , 12 ) part, which substantially invisibly supply power to a power consumer ( 14 ) of the sliding element ( 2 ), the transparent current paths ( 10 , 12 ) of the sliding element ( 2 ) being supplied with power via the at least one sliding element fitting ( 6 , 8 ), said at least one supporting element ( 4 ) defining two electrically conductive paths in mutually insulated relationship to each other, the supporting element ( 4 ) including at least one supporting rod ( 16 ), and the at least one sliding element fitting ( 6 , 8 ) taps off power from said two mutually insulated electrically conductive paths defined by two longitudinally extending mutually insulated outer peripheral portions of the supporting rod ( 16 ) serving as power rails.
