Abstract

A guideway receives and guides a carriage and includes a guideway body having a first and second longitudinal end and a longitudinally extending clear channel which is bordered by a wall of the guideway body and opens at the first longitudinal end. A stop member terminates the guideway at the first longitudinal end and includes a crossbar and two legs extending therefrom. The crossbar extends transverse to a longitudinal direction of the clear channel and the legs extend transverse to the longitudinal direction and transverse to the crossbar. The legs have a clearance therebetween. The stop member forms a frame enclosing a window, and has an opening on an edge of the window transversely opposite the crossbar, thereby defining an open side of the stop member. The stop member is displaceable on the guideway body perpendicular to the crossbar and transversely relative to the guideway body, between at least a first transverse position where the crossbar at least partially overlaps with the clear channel, and a second transverse position where the window of the stop member at least partially overlaps with the clear channel.
