Abstract
The present invention pertains to a longitudinal adjustment device for vehicle seats, in which the seat is attached along each of its long sides to runner rails mounted with freedom to slide in guide rails which are attached to the vehicle. Each runner rail has a locking device, which can be released from its connection to the guide rail The locking device comprises a release lever supported with freedom to swivel on each runner rail to move the device into its released position, which lever is to be shifted via rods of an actuating element supported on the runner rails The adjusting moment exerted on the actuating element is transmitted to the rods via a differential, where the rods are disconnected from each other. As a result, each rod can be moved until the locking device has been moved completely into the position in which it is released.
