ABSTRACT:
A bearing unit is provided with casters on either side reducing frictional losses during travel in a channel. The bearing unit is capable of being hingedly connected to other similar bearing units, end to end, to form a bearing chain. Such a chain is capable of assuming a multitude of shapes and, therefore, can adapt to the shape of a non-linear channel. This device is particularly useful as a means of reducing frictional energy losses when one solid surface is required to slide over another solid surface in a curvilinear path.
