Abstract
The slide (1) consists of a first (3) and a second (5) section sliding in relation to each other in a longitudinal direction and a lock (10) including locking teeth (16) which mate with notches (57) made in the second section (5) to ensure locking. The lock (10), which is formed of a part in a flexible blade, is securely attached to the first section (3) in an attachment area (13) far from the said teeth and it is elastically deformable in an intermediary area (12) located between the attachment area and the teeth. Unlocking is achieved by pivoting the lock along a longitudinal axis by elastic deformation of the said intermediary area. Applicable especially to the slides of automobile vehicle seats.
