Abstract
Abstract A lower section-member of the orientation correcting slideway is produced by folding a blank in the shape of a diabolo into a U-section. The blank has end flanges and curved lateral guiding grooves formed therein by a press operation and openings for receiving a latch of the slideway. The section-member has a planar web which is directly fixed to the web of an upper section-member of a slideway for longitudinally adjusting the position of the seat. Application in automobile vehicle seats.
