  • Patent number: 6036157
    Abstract: A vehicle seat adjustment system has at least two tracks and each track includes: a stationary female number, a male member slidably mounted in the female member, and a unitary locking device for removably securing the male member in the female member. The device has a first end secured to the female member, an intermediate flexible section, and a vertically displaceable second end section. The second end section has an L-shaped flange received within a slot formed in an upper surface of the female member. Cutouts are longitudinally formed along a bend in the flange and normally engage: a) longitudinally formed notches in an upper surface portion of the male member; and b) longitudinally formed notches in a flange return of the female member, the return underlying an outwardly extending flange of the male member. Vertical displacement of the locking device removes the cutouts from the engaged notches thereby allowing sliding movement of the male member within the female member.
