Abstract

A transverse guide roller arrangement for a vehicle which can be guided mechanically along a guide track or the like provided on the side of a lane. The transverse guide roller arrangement includes at least one rolling surface which is approximately vertical when the guide roller is in an operating position. The rolling surface is formed by a rubber tire mounted on a rim having a hub rotatably supported on a fixed journal attached to an end of a supporting arm or the like. The hub forms radially, without transistion on an outside thereof the rim without a wheel disk, spokes, screw on flange, or the like. The hub and rim are combined structurally into one piece, with the journal being exchangeably attached to the supporting arm.
