ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is provided for adjusting the relative position of an automotive seat with respect to the floor of the automobile. The mechanism has a first member having a pair of flat converging surfaces of substantial length defining a path of movement between the seat and the floor. At least one locking member is provided and includes a groove having converging side walls complementary with the flat converging surfaces of the first member. The locking member is capable of movement toward and away from the flat converging surfaces of the first member. A spring is provided to bias the locking member toward the flat converging surfaces of the first member thereby wedging the flat converging surfaces of the first member into the groove on the locking element. This prevents relative movement between the seat and the floor. A release mechanism is provided for moving the locking element away from the flat converging surfaces on the first member to permit movement of the components along the path of adjustment.
