Abstract

An interlocking track arrangement for a vehicle seat slide device. The seat slide device (12) comprises a lower track (14) and an upper track (16) interengaged with and supported for longitudinal sliding movement along the lower track. The lower track (14) comprises a base segment (28) and a first pair of generally U-shaped flanges (30) extending outwardly from either side of the base segment with the outer distal end portion (38) of each U-shaped flange (30) being angularly directed inwardly toward the base segment. The upper track (16) comprises a planar segment (46) and a second pair of generally U-shaped flanges (50) which extend inwardly from either side of the planar segment with the inner distal end portion (54) of each U-shaped flange being angles in an outwardly direction. The first pair of flanges (30) from the lower track (14) are adapted to interengage with the second pair of flanges (50) from the upper track (16) so that the upper track is interlocked to the lower track.
A pair of bearing retainer assemblies (58) is disposed between the two tracks for supporting the upper track for smooth sliding movement along the lower track.
