BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001]1. Field of Invention [0002]The present invention relates to a slider, and more particularly to a slider for a linear slide system. [0003]2. Description of the Related Art [0004]A conventional slider for a linear slide system disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,170,986 comprises a body, two side frames and two end caps to form cycling passages for cycling rolling elements. Components of the conventional slider are numerous and are fastened to each other by fasteners. Structure and shape of the conventional slider are complicated. [0005]Another conventional slider as shown in FIG. 1 of Taiwan Patent with an issue No. 440660 also has numerous components and is complicated. Another conventional slider disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. M267368 includes eight primary components and is also hard to assemble. [0006]Therefore, the aforementioned conventional sliders have the following disadvantages that are unfavorable for minimizing the conventional sliders. [0007]1. The structures of the conventional sliders are complicated and can not be manufactured easily. [0008]2. Assembling the conventional sliders is inconvenient due to numerous joints between components. [0009]3. The conventional sliders have numerous components and this causes that manufacturing the conventional sliders is hard. [0010]When the conventional sliders are needed to be minimized, manufacturing and assembling of the conventional sliders are hard because of their numerous components and joints. So minimizing the conventional sliders is difficult and manufacturing a precise linear slide system with a minimized slider is not easy. [0011]To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a slider for a linear slide system to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0012]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a slider for a linear slide system that has a simplified structure, is easy to be manufactured and can be minimized. [0013]The slider for a linear slide system in accordance with the present invention comprises a body, a cycling frame, multiple rolling elements and two end plates. [0014]The body having a base and two leg portions. The base has a left side, a right side, a front end and a rear end. The leg portions are formed and extended longitudinally near the sides of the base so that the body has a substantially U-shaped cross section. [0015]The cycling frame are mounted around the body and has a left cycling passage, a right cycling passage, a front end, a rear end, a front socket and a rear socket. The left cycling passage is defined around the leg portion near the left side of the base. The right cycling passage is defined around the leg portion near the left side of the base. The front socket is formed on the front end of the cycling frame. The rear socket is formed on the rear end of the cycling frame. [0016]Each end of the cycling frame comprises at least one protrusion formed on the end. Each end plate has an inner surface and at least one depression defined in the inner face and engaged respectively with the at least one protrusion in a corresponding end of the cycling frame. [0017]The cycling frame comprises a left frame and a right frame. The left frame comprises a side bar, two arms and a receiving space. The side bar is mounted beside the leg portion near the left side of the base and has two sides and two ends. The arms are extended transversely and respectively from the ends of the side bar. The receiving space is defined between the side bar and the arms of the left frame, faces and receives a corresponding leg portion and has an inside surface. One of the arms of the left frame has a distal end and a hook formed on the distal end. The other arm of the left frame has a through hole defined through the arm. [0018]The right frame of the cycling frame comprises a side bar, two arms and a receiving space. The side bar is mounted beside the leg portion near the right side of the base and has two sides and two ends. The arms are extended transversely and respectively from the ends of the side bar. The receiving space is defined between the side bar and the arms of the right frame, faces and receives a corresponding leg portion and has an inside surface. One of the arms of the right frame has a distal end and a hook formed on the distal end and corresponding to and engaging with the through hole in the arm of the left frame. The other arm of the right frame has a through hole defined through the arm and corresponding to and engaging with the hook on the arm of the left frame. The rolling elements are rotatably and moveably held in the left cycling passage and the right cycling passage. [0019]The end plates are inserted respectively into the front socket and the rear socket of the cycling frame. [0020]Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
