Patent ID: 8167218

Claim:
A guiding support comprising: a guiding rail ( 10 ) and a slot ( 2 ) filled with a sealing material ( 4 ) in which the guiding rail ( 10 ) is positioned, the guiding rail ( 10 ) comprising: a head ( 11 ) of a shape suitable for the rolling of at least one guiding wheel ( 15 ), a base ( 12 ) being shaped similar to a shape of the head ( 11 ), the guiding rail ( 10 ) being symmetrical relative to a medial longitudinal plane, and a web ( 13 ) joining the head ( 11 ) to the base ( 12 ), the guiding rail ( 10 ), before being positioned, being partially coated with a filler material ( 8 ), substantially over its full length, to form a coating ( 18 ) comprising at least one lateral extension ( 16 ) that contacts the sealing material ( 4 ) and has a formed lateral groove ( 9 ) which facilitates passage of the guiding wheel ( 15 ); the guiding rail ( 10 ), coated with the filler material ( 8 ), being directly held in place by the sealing material ( 4 ); the guiding rail ( 10 ) having a slender cross-section and a combined width of the head ( 11 ) and the filler material ( 8 ), including the at least one lateral extension, extending normal to the medial longitudinal plane being greater than a combined width of the base ( 12 ) and the filler material ( 8 ), extending normal to the medial longitudinal plane, such that the guiding rail ( 10 ) and the filler material ( 8 ) together form a Y-shaped configuration; and the guiding rail ( 10 ) facilitating bending of the guiding rail, about the medial longitudinal plane, during installation, while being positioned on site, without any additional bending stage.
