Abstract
The invention relates to a longitudinal guide for a motor vehicle seat with a pair of carries comprising a seat carrier and a sliding bottom carrier, which are movable towards each other in their longitudinal direction and which are in contact with each other by means of sliding devices and/or rollers, whereby each carrier a) possesses at least two guide areas and each guide area of one carrier is adapted in a form to the related guide area of the other carrier in such a way that sliding devices and/or rollers are each taken up between two guide areas of different carries and b) possesses at least one area of gearing, which is modelled in such a way that it does not come into contact with at least one area of gearing of the corresponding other carrier under normal circumstances, but comes into contact, if the two carriers are separated from each other, and obstructs such a separation by means of gearing. For the manufacture of sectional areas of the longitudinal guide which determine the statics, two different kinds of material are used, preferably steel and light metal.
