Abstract
A longitudinal rail guide of a motor vehicle seat having a bottom rail, with a top rail which is movable in longitudinal direction relative to the bottom rail and with a locking device. The locking device has a guide part which is disposed on the top rail and has at least one guide opening, and for each guide opening there is a blocking part which is disposed so as to be movable in the guide opening. The guide part has a free edge which lies directly opposite an adjacent inner surface of the bottom rail, and before an accident the free edge is located at a small distance from the adjacent inner surface of the bottom rail and after an accident the free edge bears against the adjacent inner surface.

Longitudinal rail guide of a motor vehicle seat comprising a bottom rail, a top rail that is displaceable relative to the bottom rail in a longitudinal direction, and a locking device, the locking device comprising:
- a. a guide part which is disposed on the top rail and has at least one guide opening,
- b. for each guide opening one blocking part that is displaceably disposed in the guide opening, and
- c. latching openings formed in the bottom rail, wherein, in a normally provided blocking state of the locking device, at least one blocking part latches into one of the latching openings, and in an actuated release position, no blocking part latches into a latching opening,
- wherein the guide part has a free edge which is immediately opposite to an adjacent inner face of the bottom rail, that the free edge, prior to an accident, is located at a small distance from the adjacent inner face of the bottom rail and, subsequent to the accident, rests against the adjacent inner face.
