Seat rail for vehicle

A seat rail for a vehicle, the seat rail comprising:

• a fixed rail having a rail slit therein, the rail slit being extended in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
• a moving rail having a lower end inserted into the fixed rail through the rail slit, the moving rail being movable in the longitudinal direction along the rail slit;
• a front screen or a rear screen covering the rail slit and connecting a front end of the fixed rail to the moving rail or a rear end of the fixed rail to the moving rail, respectively, wherein the front screen or the rear screen is configured to perform a winding operation or a releasing operation when the moving rail moves, the winding operation being performed by elasticity of the front screen or the rear screen,
• wherein:
• the seat rail comprises the front screen;
• a front drum is rotatably provided at the front end of the fixed rail;
• and
• the front screen has a first end fixed to and wound on the front drum and a second end coupled to a front portion of the moving rail,
• wherein:
• the seat rail further comprises the rear screen;
• a rear drum is rotatably provided at the rear end of the fixed rail;
• and
• the rear screen has a first end fixed to and wound on the rear drum and a second end coupled to a rear portion of the moving rail, and
• wherein:
• when the moving rail moves forward, the front screen is configured to be wound on the front drum by an elastic restoring force thereof and the rear screen is configured to be released from the rear drum;
• the front screen wound on the front drum is configured to pull the moving rail forward by an elastic force thereof and the rear screen released from the rear drum is configured to pull the moving rail rearward by an elastic force thereof;
• and
• the elastic force of the front screen pulling the moving rail forward and the elastic force of the rear screen pulling the moving rail rearward are equal to each other.

• wherein:
• when the moving rail moves rearward, the front screen is configured to be released from the front drum and the rear screen is configured to be wound on the rear drum by an elastic restoring force thereof;
• the front screen released from the front drum is configured to pull the moving rail forward by an elastic force thereof and the rear screen wound on the rear drum is configured to pull the moving rail rearward by an elastic force thereof;
• and
• the elastic force of the front screen pulling the moving rail forward and the elastic force of the rear screen pulling the moving rail rearward are equal to each other.

A seat rail for a vehicle, the seat rail comprising:

• a front drum and a rear drum rotatably coupled to opposite ends of a fixed rail, respectively;
• a front screen connecting the front drum to a moving rail;
• a rear screen connecting the rear drum to the moving rail, wherein the front screen and the rear screen cover a rail slit corresponding to a gap between the fixed rail and the moving rail,
• wherein when the moving rail moves, the front screen and the rear screen are configured to be released from the drums or are wound on the drums by elastic restoring forces thereof, respectively;
• an inner cover coupled to the fixed rail and located above the fixed rail;
• and
• an outer cover coupled to the fixed rail and located above the inner cover, wherein the front screen or the rear screen is located between the inner cover and the outer cover.

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body comprising a floor panel;
• a fixed rail fixed to the floor panel and extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
• a rail slit provided in the fixed rail and extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
• a moving rail having a lower end inserted into the fixed rail through the rail slit, the moving rail being configured to move in the longitudinal direction along the rail slit;
• a front screen covering the rail slit and connecting a front end of the fixed rail to the moving rail;
• a rear screen covering the rail slit and connecting a rear end of the fixed rail to the moving rail,
• wherein the front screen and the rear screen are configured to perform a winding operation and a releasing operation, respectively, based on a movement direction of the moving rail, wherein the winding operation is performable due to elasticity of the front screen and the rear screen;
• an inner cover coupled to the fixed rail and located above the fixed rail;
• and
• an outer cover coupled to the fixed rail and located above the inner cover, wherein the front screen or the rear screen is located between the inner cover and the outer cover.
