PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new linear guide apparatus capable of further smoothly circulating a rolling element accommodation belt; and a rolling element accommodation belt applied thereto. SOLUTION: This linear guide apparatus 100 is provided with the rolling element accommodation belt 50 with ends in rolling element circulation paths 30a, b, and composed by arranging a rolling element B between the ends of the rolling element accommodation belt 50. Cantilever-shaped elastically-deformable projections 53 projecting from inner peripheral sides toward outer peripheral sides of the rolling element circulation paths 30a, b, and inclined with respect to outer end surfaces of filler pieces 51a, 51a at the ends of the rolling element accommodation belt 50 are arranged on the end surfaces of the filler pieces 51a positioned at the ends of the rolling element accommodation belt 50. Thereby, action of tensile force on the rolling element accommodation belt 50 is restrained, and compression force in the circulation direction is efficiently transmitted, whereby the rolling element accommodation belt 50 can be smoothly circulated.
