Motor mounting structure for electric seat sliding device

A motor mounting structure for an electric seat sliding device, the motor mounting structure comprising:

• a motor including first and second protruding portions which are provided on both ends of the motor in an axial direction;
• a first elastic support member arranged to be mounted on the first protruding portion of the motor;
• a second elastic support member arranged to be mounted on the second protruding portion of the motor;
• and
• a bracket arranged to support the both ends of the motor through the first elastic support member and the second elastic support member,
• the bracket including;
• an opening portion which has a length longer than an axial length of the motor, and which is arranged to receive the motor,
• first and second guide portions which are formed, respectively, on both end portions of the opening portion in a longitudinal direction, and which is arranged to be engaged, respectively, with the first and second elastic support members,
• the motor being arranged not to be unmounted from the bracket in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the motor, at a position at which the first and second elastic support members mounted on the first and second protruding portions of the motor are engaged with the first and second guide portions, at which and the motor is positioned at a normal assembly position with respect to the bracket,
• the first elastic support member being arranged to be moved between a position at which the first elastic support member is mounted on the first protruding portion, and an escape position at which the first elastic support member is unmounted from the first protruding portion, in a state where the first elastic support member is mounted on the first guide portion,
• the opening portion and the first and second guide portions which have a shape arranged to receive the motor to which the second elastic support member is mounted on the second protruding portion, at an initial assembly position at which the motor is positioned coaxially with the first elastic support member positioned at the escape position, and
• the second elastic support member being arranged to be moved between a position at which the second elastic support member is engaged with the second guide portion, and a position where the second elastic support member is disengaged from the second guide portion, and where the second elastic support portion is mounted on the second protruding portion of the motor positioned at the initial assembly position.
