Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for guiding a body, comprising two guide walls which have inwardly directed surfaces with in each case a sliding area, wherein, in the event of loading perpendicular to the sliding areas, the loaded guide wall is elastically deformed outward away from the guided body in the region of the sliding area and therefore the risk of damage to the guide at the sliding areas is minimized.
