A seat fore-and-aft adjuster for a vehicle seat may have a lower rail and an upper rail. The adjuster may also have a drive unit, a gearbox unit having a gearbox housing, and a cover element. The upper rail may have at least one through-hole. The cover element may have at least one covering region, which is formed from two cover legs opposite to and parallel with one another. The cover element may have at least one covering sub-region arranged laterally to the covering region. The covering sub-region is defined by a covering wing protruding vertically in the longitudinal direction from one of the cover legs. The covering region is frictionally and/or interlockingly connected to the housing section, and the covering sub-region covers at least one connecting region of the bracket above that of the upper rail by the covering wing.

A seat slider device may include: a lower rail attachable to a body of a vehicle; an upper rail attachable to a seat and slidably engaging with the lower rail; at least one roller provided in the upper rail and pressed against the lower rail or the body of the vehicle; and an actuator configured to rotate the at least one roller.

A seat slide device includes a reinforcing member attached to a rear end part of an upper rail. The reinforcing member is higher in rigidity than the upper rail. The reinforcing member includes a reinforcing member body having a U-shaped cross section having a lower opening, and including a reinforcing member top wall; a pair of reinforcing member lateral walls; and a pair of reinforcing member bent wall parts each being bent outwardly from a lower end of a corresponding one of the reinforcing member lateral walls in a lateral direction of the reinforcing member, and extending upwardly between a corresponding lower rail outside lateral wall and a corresponding lower rail inside lateral wall.

A seat sliding apparatus for a vehicle includes a lower rail, an upper rail supported to be movable relative to the lower rail, and a pressing member attached to one of the lower rail and the upper rail via a biasing member. The pressing member constantly presses the other of the lower rail and the upper rail by a biasing force of the biasing member. The lower rail and the upper rail extend in a first direction. The pressing member obliquely presses the other of the lower rail and the upper rail so that force components are generated in both the first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

In a slide rail device for use in a vehicle , a lock spring support portion of an upper rail includes an upward-downward movement restriction support portion. The upward-downward movement restriction support portion includes an open holding portion which is open at a top thereof and holds a supported portion of a lock spring and an uplift prevention projection which is formed projecting into the open holding portion so as to overlap the supported portion of the lock spring, which is held by the open holding portion, in the upward and downward directions.

In a slide rail device for use in a vehicle, a lock control member comprises a pair of facing walls which face a pair of side walls of an upper rail and extend in upward and downward direction, and a pair of anti-rattle projections which project from the pair of facing walls toward the pair of side walls of the upper rail.

A track assembly includes a first track having a first inner surface, a first support coupled to the first inner surface, a second track having a second inner surface, and a second support coupled to the second inner surface. The second track is slidably coupled to the first track. The first support has a first free end that extends from the first inner surface at a downward sloping angle. The second support has a second free end that extends from the second inner surface at an upward sloping angle. The first support and the second support are positioned such that the second free end is disposed above the first free end.

A slider for a vehicle seat, in particular for a motor vehicle seat, comprises a first profile section and a second profile section, the first profile section being movable in translation along a longitudinal direction of the seat, relative to the second profile section, the second profile section being intended to be fixed, under a floor of a vehicle passenger compartment; a slider actuator controlling the movement of the first profile section relative to the second profile section, the slider actuator comprising a motor intended to be arranged above the floor of the vehicle passenger compartment, and a reduction mechanism. The reduction mechanism comprises a belt, preferably notched, intended to pass through a slot in the floor of the vehicle passenger compartment.

A front upper support surface and a rear upper support surface facing an upper surface of a rear end of an operation handle are provided in a lock release lever with a gap between the front upper support surface and the rear upper support surface in the vehicle front-rear direction, and front lower support surfaces are provided below the front upper support surface. An upper rail is provided with a rear lower support surface, which is positioned below a rear upper support surface. A clearance is provided between the front lower support surface and a lower surface of a rear end of the operation handle, and a clearance is provided between the rear lower support surface and the lower surface of the rear end of the operation handle.

Provided is a cable take-up device for a flexible flat cable routed for a slide seat slidably supported so as to be movable forward and backward along a fixed rail fixed to the vehicle cabin floor. The cable take-up device includes: a take-up housing part that takes up a housed portion in a drawable manner and houses it inside with a front end portion fixed to a rail front end portion and a rear end portion fixed to the slide seat; a take-up force generation part that generates a take-up force in a direction of take-up of the housed portion through drawing of the cable routing body; and a slit that applies the take-up force of the take-up force generation part to the housed portion.
