Abstract

A glide strip for a conveyor rail comprising an elongated monolithic elastic material having a constant cross-sectional shape throughout a majority of the material's length, wherein the cross-sectional shape comprises: a topmost section having a first width perpendicular to the material's length and a first height, a bottommost section having a second width perpendicular to the material's length and a second height, wherein the second width is less than the first width, and a middle section having a third width, wherein the middle section connects the topmost section to the bottommost section, wherein the first width is greater than the second width, and the second width is greater than the third width, and the bottommost section snaps on within slots of the conveyor rail.
