Abstract
The slide includes a fixed section and a movable section sliding in the fixed section. An edge of the fixed section, equipped with a row of notches, is located in the direct vicinity of a sidewall of the movable section. A lock, movable crosswise to the sliding direction, is equipped with teeth guided in the cutouts made in the wall and mating with the notches to lock the slide. The wall includes a stop, such as a folded portion, located opposite the edge. The dimensions and the material of the teeth are determined so that when a sliding force exceeding a predetermined value is applied, the teeth deform by deflecting parallel to the folded portion and their ends are then located opposite the folded portion preventing the lock from unlocking.
