Abstract
A long slide rail for use in a vehicle seat, which comprises an elongated or long lower rail member, an upper rail member slidably fitted in the long lower rail member and a locking mechanism. In the locking mechanism, a swing linkage is provided, which extends alongside of the upper rail member and has one end connected to a lock plate slidably mounted in the same upper rail member. Thus, both swing linkage and lock plate are arranged within area of the upper rail member, avoiding projection therefrom, which lowers the seating surface of seat to a comfortable level.
