Lockable guide assembly for adjustable vehicle seats

摘要

A lockable guide assembly for adjustable vehicle seats comprising a pair of parallel guided rails attached to the vehicle seat; a pair of parallel guiding rails slidably arranged with respect to the guided rails and attached to the vehicle floor. Each of the rails is formed with a high-webbed U-shaped cross-section with inner and outer arms substantially overlapping with the arms of the U-shaped section of the other rail, the height of each section being about twice its width. The inner arm on each rail extends into the U-shaped portion of the other rail occupying nearly the full depth of the U-shaped portion leaving only a small gap between the free end of the inner arm and the inside surface of the U-shaped portion of the outer arm. The outer arms are wider or deeper than the inner arms and extending beyond the depths of the inner arms, and the outer circumference of the U-shaped portion of the guided rails is straddled by the arms of the guiding rail.
