Abstract

The invention relates to a release device for the upper rail and the lower rail of a longitudinal seat adjustment system of a motor vehicle seat. A release device is provided, which release device has a lever that preferably rotatably supported on the upper rail of the vehicle seat. An end of said lever interacts with the locking means and optionally releases the locking means. A handle is provided at the other end. If said handle is operated, the lever moves, preferably rotates, relative to the upper rail from a passive position of the lever to a release position of the lever and moves the locking means from a locking position of the locking means to a releasing position. In order to ensure that the release device automatically moves into a passive position of the release device, in which passive position the release device does not interact with the locking means in a releasing manner, a spring element is provided, which preloads the lever into the passive position of the lever. According to the invention, the spring element additionally performs the function of supporting the lever on the upper rail.
