  • Publication number: 20020033625
    Abstract: In a supplemental locking mechanism (11) for a longitudinal adjuster of a vehicle seat, in particular for a longitudinal adjuster of an automobile seat, wherein an upper rail (4) extends for sliding movement in a lower rail (5) and is adapted for being locked with same, the supplemental locking mechanism (11) being inactive in the normal case, and locking the upper rail (4) with the lower rail (5) only in the event of a crash. A part of a safety belt system is arranged on a belt adapter (12), which is secured to the upper rail (4), with the mounted component of the safety belt system moving in the event of a crash at least one part (12′″) of the belt adapter (12) in a defined manner relative to the upper rail (4) and to the lower rail (5), thereby engaging the supplemental locking device (11).
