Seat slide apparatus for vehicle

A seat slide apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

• a first rail;
• a second rail movable relative to the first rail;
• a lock member restricting a relative movement between the first rail and the second rail;
• a memory member movably supported within an inner void that is formed between the first rail and the second rail in a longitudinal direction of the first rail, the memory member being prevented from moving by an engagement with the first rail;
• a first holding member fixed to the second rail and holding the memory member to move integrally with the second rail in a state where a restriction of the relative movement between the first rail and the second rail by the lock member is released on a basis of an operation of an operation handle;
• and
• a second holding member holding the memory member so that the engagement of the memory member with the first rail is maintained in a state where the restriction of the relative movement between the first rail and the second rail by the lock member is released in association with a forward folding operation of a seat back of a seat configured to be fixed to the second rail,
• wherein the first holding member integrally includes a body portion that is engageable with a front end portion of the memory member and a memory member holding portion that makes contact with a rear end portion of the memory member to sandwich the memory member in a state where the body portion engages with the front end portion of the memory member, and
• wherein the memory member holding portion includes an engagement portion at a surface opposite from a surface with which the memory member is engageable, the engagement portion engaging with a front end of the second holding member.
