Bearing members for load bearing comprising two bearing elements that are slidabe to each other

摘要

583042 Disclosed is a bearing member for incorporation in a first structural member. The first structural member is slidably connected in use to a load-bearing contact with a second structural member along a structural member interface between the first and second structural members. The bearing member includes first and second bearing layers which each have a sliding surface and an opposing contact surface orientated in use to face the respective first or second structural member. When connected the first and second bearing layer sliding surfaces directly abut each other sharing a mutual sliding interface such that under relative sliding movement of the first and second structural members the first and second bearing layers are capable of sliding relative to each other about the abutting sliding surfaces.
