Abstract
A slide device includes a female section piece of U-shaped cross section, a male section piece sliding longitudinally between the branches of the U in the female section piece, and a latch for longitudinally immobilizing the male section piece on the female section piece. The latch is formed of an end part of an elastically flexible blade which is fixed, at some distance from the end part, on one of the section pieces. The end part is provided with square teeth which, in a locked position, engage with notches made on the other section piece. The slide device includes unlocking means acting on the latch in order, by an elastic flexing of the blade, to disengage the square teeth from the notches.
