  • Patent number: 5820216
    Abstract: A slide for a vehicle seat, the slide comprising a fixed rail, a moving rail which can be secured to the fixed rail by a latch resiliently urged toward its locked position, and a cam mounted on the moving rail and suitable for being placed in an active position in which it holds the latch in its unlocked position. The cam is secured to an actuating finger which, when said cam is in its active position, co-operates with a resilient blade mounted on the fixed rail and suitable for retracting out of the way of the actuating finger while the moving rail is being displaced forwards, but stopping the actuating finger while the moving rail is being displaced backwards.
