Abstract
A seat slide device for a motor vehicle is shown, which includes a seat slide latching mechanism by which an upper movable rail can be latched at a desired fore-and-aft position relative to a lower stationary rail and a rail-disconnection inhibiting mechanism by which undesired separation of the upper rail from the lower rail is prevented even when a great load is applied to the rails due to a vehicle collision of the like. Lock openings formed in the lower rail can be used for not only the seat slide latching mechanism but also the rail-disconnection inhibiting mechanism. Thus, the lower rail has a satisfied mechanical strength.
