Abstract
Slide for vehicle seat, comprising a first runner provided with first and second notches, a second runner provided with first and second cut-outs and a catch comprising first and second teeth. The first and second cut-outs are disposed asymmetrically relative to the longitudinal direction so that, when the catch is in the locked position, firstly the first tooth can be in contact with the inclined front edge of the first cut-out and with the rear edge of the first notch and secondly the second tooth can be in contact with the inclined rear edge of the second cut-out and with the front edge of the second notch.
Claims11
Slide for vehicle seat, comprising first and second runners and locking means to prevent or allow a relative longitudinal movement of the first and second runners, and in which:
- the first runner comprises at least first and second notches, each notch being delimited in a longitudinal direction by a front edge and a rear edge,
- the second runner comprises at least first and second cut-outs, each cut-out being delimited in a longitudinal direction by a front edge and a rear edge,
- the locking means comprise a catch mounted on the second runner and having at least first and second teeth, the catch being able to be moved in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction between a locked position in which the first and second teeth pass through the first and second cut-outs respectively to engage in the first and second notches to immobilize the first and second runners relative to one another, and an unlocked position in which the first and second teeth do not interact with the first and second notches of the first runner to allow the relative movement of the first and second runners,
- wherein the front edge of at least one of the first cut-out and notch is inclined rearwards and the rear edge of at least one of the second cut-out and notch is inclined forwards and wherein the catch is suitable for allowing, when it is in the locked position, firstly the first tooth to be solely in contact with the front edge of the first cut-out and with the rear edge of the first notch and secondly, the second tooth to be solely in contact with the rear edge of the second cut-out and with the front edge of the second notch.
