A vehicle seat (see FIG.1) is slidably supported by two pairs of slide rails, each rail of each pair having the same cross-section. For both pairs each rail (1,2) includes a U-shaped portion and an offset flange. The flange of one rail (2) engages in the U-shaped portion of the other rail and vice versa. Ball bearings may be accommodated in a space between the two rails and a locking latch may be provided to lock the rails of one pair with respect to one another. The two rails are thus double interlocked so as to resist separation for example in the event of a road accident. Also expense is reduced because the two rails are of similar cross-section.

A guide rail assembly comprising two parallel guide rails of similar cross-section, each guide rail having a two legged U-shaped portion defining a relatively deep recess, and a flanged portion extending away from the free end of one leg of the U-shaped portion, said flanged portion extending parallel to but offset from said one leg, one rail having its U-shaped portion inverted and its flanged portion depending downwardly therefrom, the other rail having the recess of its U-shaped portion engaged by said downwardly depending flanged portion and its flanged portion extending upwardly into engagement with the recess defined by said inverted U-shaped portion, whereby the two rails are constrained for relative longitudinal movement only.
