Abstract
A stationary rail of generally channel-shaped construction is secured to the vehicle floor so as to have an elongate opening thereof oriented to the direction of movement of a seat mounted thereover. The stationary rail has a coaxially extending main portion or section and coaxially extending guided and guiding portions or members. A movable rail connected to the seat has throughout the length thereof the same cross section as the stationary rail. The movable rail is slidably engaged with the stationary rail in such a manner that the guided and guiding portions thereof are engaged with the corresponding guided and guiding portions of the movable rail in a mutually inverted relationship, having the main portion thereof and the corresponding truck portion of the movable rail spaced. Rollers are embraced by the stationary and movable rails in such a manner that the cylindrical outer surface of each roller engages with both the main portions of the stationary and movable rails.
