Abstract:
A safety device for a vehicle bench seat that can be moved via two lateral, parallel guide tracks within a vehicle across an adjustable range and can be locked in various positions comprising:a safety rail arranged parallel to and between the guide tracks; a safety sled which is guided in a relatively flexible manner at least across the actual adjustable range of the bench seat, wherein the safety sled is arranged in such a manner that the safety sled can move freely lengthwise on the safety rail during regular sliding motions and in positions within the adjustable range of the bench seat and interlocks with the safety rail due to irregular deformations in the area of the bench seat; wherein the safety rail has a roughly U-shaped cross-section that is open in the direction of the bench seat to allow the safety sled to become interlocked and includes two fastening bridges that limit an upper lengthwise opening, and wherein the safety sled, which interlocks with the safety rail through the lengthwise opening, reaches behind the fastening bridges with two locking sections.
