Abstract

A running wheel block, including a housing having at least one connecting surface for connection to a supporting structure, an inwardly directed rotary bearing holding hub arranged in the housing, a rotary bearing mounted on the hub, and a running wheel mounted in the rotary bearing so that a section of its running surface projects from the housing toward at least one side. The housing is open on a side opposite to the holding hub. The running wheel encompasses the holding hub and is insertable onto or into the rotary bearing from the open side.
