Abstract
A latch structure for a seat slide structure includes a latch member pivoted to the base wall of the movable one of a pair of track members and having a latch portion extending inwardly of the one track member and provided with at least one latched tooth engageable within openings in the track members to releasably latch the track members to each other. The latch member is biased to a latched position by a spring anchored between the latch member and the one track member. Where a pair of spaced seat slide structures are each provided with latch structures, simultaneous movement of the latch members of these structures to released position is effected by interconnecting the latch members with a slightly slack cable. A release lever is coaxially pivoted with one of the latch members and mounts a pulley engageable with the cable to effect shortening of the cable intermediate the anchored ends thereof and simultaneous movement of the latch members to released position.
