ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat slide mechanism for a vehicle includes a lower rail fixed to the vehicle floor, an upper rail attached to a seat and supported on the lower rail so as to be free to slide thereon, a locking plate disposed between the lower rail and the upper rail and operable to limit sliding motion of the upper rail relative to the lower rail and to free the upper rail from this limitation, an operating lever disposed underneath the seat for operating the locking plate, a converging first wall formed on the locking plate so as to be engageable with teeth, which are formed on the lower rail, in the direction in which the upper rail slides relative to the lower rail, the first wall being so adapted that the teeth assume a first position or a second position, and a second wall formed on the locking plate and capable of engaging the upper rail in the direction of locking plate movement when the teeth are at the second position.
