Abstract
The vertically adjustable seat of a motor vehicle is mounted on two spaced-apart parallel rails each of which is reciprocable along a discrete track having an inverted C-shaped cross-sectional outline. Each rail has two spaced-apart parallel vertical sidewalls which are held apart and are connected to each other by several laminae and bolts serving to urge the edge faces of the laminae against the inner sides of the sidewalls. The marginal portions of the laminae have projections which are received in complementary sockets of the sidewalls. The sidewalls are extrusions of light metal, and the laminae are made of the same material. The rear end portion of one of the rails has a coupling for one end portion of a safety belt, and the configurations of the lower portions of the sidewalls and the adjacent portions of the track are such that the rails are confined to reciprocatory movement longitudinally of the respective tracks.
