- 9. Slide system as defined in claim 5, wherein the surfaces of different pairs of surfaces extend at an angle of less than 90° relative to one another.
- 10. Slide system as defined in claim 5, wherein the flat surfaces of the different pairs of surfaces extend relative to one another at an angle greater than a critical angle of the self-locking.
- 11. Slide system as defined in claim 9, wherein the surfaces of different pairs of surfaces extend at an angle in the range of between 30° and 60° relative to one another.
- 12. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the pairs of surfaces are formed by surfaces sliding relative to one another.
- 13. Slide system as defined in claim 12, wherein the pairs of surfaces are each formed by ground surfaces.
- 14. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the base area is designed so as to be symmetric to a longitudinal central plane of the guide rails.
- 15. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the guiding area is designed so as to be symmetric to the longitudinal central plane of the guide rails.
- 16. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the base area and the guiding area of the guide rails are part of an integral profiled rail extending in the longitudinal direction.
- 17. Slide system as defined in claim 16, wherein the profiled rail has an essentially constant cross-sectional shape in the longitudinal direction.
- 18. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the clamping element constantly acts on the insert member with clamping forces.
- 19. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one clamping element acts on the insert member with the clamping force in a multiple manner over the length of the guide rail.
- 20. Slide system as defined in claim 18, wherein clamping forces acting on the insert member with the clamping element are adjustable.
- 21. Slide system as defined in claim 20, wherein the clamping forces are adjustable locally.
- 22. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the clamping elements are arranged so as be free of penetration in relation to the guide rail.
- 23. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the clamping element acts on the insert member from a side located opposite the receiving means.
- 24. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the clamping element acts directly on the insert element.
- 25. Slide system as defined in claim 24, wherein the clamping element abuts areally on the insert member.
- 26. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the clamping element is designed as a clamping bar.
- 27. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the clamping element acts on the part to be acted upon by means of at least one pressure surface.
- 28. Slide system as defined in claim 27, wherein the pressure surface extends over the extension of the clamping element in its longitudinal direction.
- 29. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the clamping element is provided with pressure surfaces on oppositely located longitudinal sides for acting upon a respective insert member.
- 30. Slide system as defined in claim 29, wherein the pressure surfaces of one and the same clamping element act upon insert members of different, adjacent guide rails.
- 31. Slide system as defined in claim 1, wherein the base area of the guide rail is designed as an insert member and the base member has the receiving means.
- 32. Slide system as defined in claim 31, wherein the base area has at least three mounting surfaces extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail, each of said mounting surfaces extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction parallel to a different, respective side of a triangle located in a plane extending transversely to the longitudinal direction.
- 33. Slide system as defined in claim 32, wherein one of the mounting surfaces extends on a side of the base area located opposite the guiding area.
- 34. Slide system as defined in claim 33, wherein additional mounting surfaces are arranged on the base area such that they extend on different sides of the mounting surface located opposite the guiding area.
- 35. Slide system as defined in claim 32, wherein the triangle defining the position of the mounting surfaces transversely to the longitudinal direction is an isosceles triangle.
