Abstract
A synchronized traveling carriage assembly comprising at least one slide mechanism held by a end-support cap having alignment pins to firmly hold it in a rigid position. The outer side of the support cap includes support pins so as to be readily acceptable in a cooperating installation. A carriage plate is affixed to the moving slide member whereby various devices may be mounted thereto. The slide comprises an outer slide member which is removably connected to the alignment pin of the support cap, an inner slide member, and a ball-retainer member disposed therebetween having at least two flat strips of friction material coacting with at least one intermediate member formed by an endless belt of friction material--the flat strips being affixed to respective inner and outer slide members and the endless belt being movably mounted to the ball-retainer member for engagement with the flat strips.
