A torsion-resistant box (49) formed by the parts (2, 3; 6, 7) in the region close to the binding ends, is capable of elastically absorbing loads or shocks through the interval (37) maintained between the upper and lower parts. A sliding device of this kind relieves the strain on the human motor system and, at the same time, improves the sliding performance. | |
