Abstract
A device is for enabling a motor vehicle seat to slide. The device includes a runner, locking device, control support, control rod, and torsion spring. The locking device locks the runner having an active state and an inactive state. The control support is mounted to pivot on the moving rail between an active position in which it constrains the locking device to be in its active state and a rest position in which it allows the locking device to return to its active state. The control rod is mounted to pivot on the control support between an in-use position and a retracted position. The torsion spring tends to bring the control rod into the in-use position and tends to bring the control support into the rest position.
