Abstract

A flexible bearing bar includes a flexurally soft tensile member carrying, on one side thereof, a multiplicity of compressive elements disposed successively in series and formed with respective contact surfaces, said tensile member being supportable on two supports, and said contact surfaces being subjectible to a load acting between said supports, from said compressive elements in a direction towards said tensile member for keeping said contact surfaces, respectively, in contact with one another.
