Abstract
A slide rail for a vehicle seat, comprising a fixed section, a mobile section, a memory retaining runner sliding along the fixed section and defining a memorized position of the mobile section, a runner catch, a first control to simultaneously unlock the slide rail and clip the runner to the mobile section, and a second control to only unlock the slide rail. The runner catch is brought resiliently to its unlocked position, and it is moved into its locked position by engagement with a cam surface integral with the mobile section, only when this mobile section leaves its memorized position or returns into said memorized position.
