Patent Images
1. A removable vehicle seat slide rail comprising:
- a fixed section intended to be fixed with the vehicle floor and along which the seat can slide, this fixed section comprising first and second longitudinal ends and having at least one flange under which a free space is delimited, said flange extending from the first end to near the second end of the fixed section, and at least one shuttle sliding mounted relative to the fixed section and adapted to be connected to the vehicle seat so as to follow the movement of the seat along said fixed section, wherein the shuttle carries an electrical connection device intended to be connected to the seat, and in that the electrical connection device carried by said shuttle is itself connected to an electrical circuit integral with the vehicle floor at the first longitudinal end of the fixed section, by means of a flexible electrical cabling which is arranged under the flange of the fixed section and which is held taut by a resilient return drum.
