Abstract

The invention concerns a vehicle seat slide comprising a lower channel section integral with the floor of the vehicle, an upper channel section integral with the sitting portion of the seat, intermediate balls and a locking mechanism comprising a toothed bolt mounted on the upper channel section adapted to coact with a series of catches in the lower channel section. There is provided on one of the channel sections a series of vertical teeth and on the other a series of closed apertures disposed vertically opposite the teeth so that the beginning of a vertical dislocation of the slide results in the teeth catching in the apertures.
