Abstract
The lower profile member of a seat slide carries a shoe made of an L-shaped member having two vertical brackets. A first bracket support a spindle on which is mounted a first latch having a lower end which normally bears on the shoe and which is returned to such a position by a coil shaped spring rigidly connected to the vertical bracket and to an upper part of the first latch. Two bearing elements carry a shaft having ends to which two sectors are fixed for supporting an abutment and a pin. The pin is adapted to act on a second latch mounted on the upper profile member for disengaging the first latch. The abutment is used for providing a limitation for a rearward stroke of the upper profile member with respect to the lower profile member.
