Abstract
A locking device for adjustably locking two mutually movable parts with respect to each other, particularly for preventing an automobile seat from sliding longitudinally along the floor of an automobile. A stationary member is secured to the floor and is provided with teeth for cooperating with a toothed member which is secured to the automobile seat. The two sets of teeth are normally urged into engagement with each other by means of a spring member. For adjustment, the second part can be displaced at right angles to the floor in such manner that the two sets of teeth are disengaged, thereby permitting the seat to slide longitudinally with respect to the floor.
