Abstract
A vehicle seat adjustable slide structure comprises two slides, interengaging a locking lever pivotally supported by a tab cut out of the outer slide which is folded over and extends through an opening in the lever with a clearance which allows the movement of the lever between a seat locking position and a seat releasing position for movement of the seat in translation. The slide structure is applicable to the mounts of adjustable automobile se

A slide structure for a vehicle seat, comprising two slides, one of which slides is cooperable with the other slide to be movable in translation relative to said other slide, a locking lever mounted on one of the slides to be pivotable in a plane between a position for locking the movable slide against translation relative to said other slide and a position for unlocking said movable slide relative to said other slide, elastically yieldable means for biasing the lever toward said locking position, the slide carrying the locking lever having a cut-out tab which is folded over in a direction to be substantially perpendicular to said pivot plane, the lever having an opening through which said tab extends with a clearance which permits the movement of the lever between said two positions.
A mount for a vehicle seat, which mount comprises two slide structures and common shifting means for simultaneously actuating the slide structures, each slide structure comprising two slides one of which slides is cooperable with the other slide to be movable in translation relative to said other slide, a locking lever mounted on one of the slides to be pivotable in a plane between a position for locking the movable slide against translation relative to said other slide and a position for unlocking said movable slide relative to said other slide, elastically yieldable means for biasing the lever toward said locking position, the slide carrying the locking lever having a cut-out tab which is folded over in a direction to be substantially perpendicular to said pivot plane, said lever having an opening through which said tab extends with a clearance which permits the movement of the lever between said two positions, said shifting means interconnecting the two levers.
