Abstract
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.
Claims5
A seat sliding apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- 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 always pressing the other of the lower rail and the upper rail with the use of a biasing force of the biasing member, wherein:
- the lower rail and the upper rail are extended in a first direction;
- and
- the pressing member presses the other of the lower rail and the upper rail obliquely such that component forces are generated both in the first direction and a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction;
- the biasing member corresponds to a spiral spring;
- the pressing member corresponds to a rotational member rotated by the biasing force of the spiral spring;
- the spiral spring and the rotational member are attached to one of the lower rail and the upper rail in a state where axial centers coincide with each other;
- the lower rail is inclined in such a manner that one of a front portion and a rear portion of the lower rail is higher than the other;
- and
- the pressing member is attached to the upper rail and presses the lower rail such that a component force along a downward direction of the lower rail is generated.
