Abstract
A latch assembly for a sliding seat includes a handle and a latch body fixed to the handle. The latch body is securable pivotally to one of an upper rail and a lower rail of the sliding seat. The latch body is pivotable via the handle between a locked position and an unlocked position. The latch body includes teeth openings arranged along a lengthwise dimension, where the teeth openings sequentially decrease in size. The assembly essentially eliminates problems associated with skip-locking and chucking in existing designs.
