Claim:
1. A device for selectively controlling and reducing backward displacement of a seat in a vehicle relative to a vehicle floor in the event of an accident, the device comprising; a stop element arranged on a pair of seat rails, said stop element having a stop face which is inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of said pair of seat rails; and a stop body arranged on the vehicle seat and having a contact face, said contact face being arranged in a normal position at a distance from said stop face, said stop element and said stop body being arranged in a mounted state with respect to each other so that in a crash position which occurs during an impact on the vehicle, said stop face of said stop element and said contact face of said stop body enter into contact, as a result of the contact, backward displacement of the seat which is caused by the impact is at least reduced, said stop element having a deformation zone in a form of an opening which during transition from the normal position into the crash position causes a targeted deformation of said stop element, wherein said opening is in a region of the stop face, wherein a cross-sectional area of the opening orthogonal to an adjustment direction of the pair of seat rails is formed diamond-shaped.
