Protection cover structure of slide detection apparatus for vehicle seat

A protection cover structure of a slide detection apparatus for a vehicle seat, the slide detection apparatus being configured to detect a slide state of the vehicle seat with a magnetic detector which is provided to one of a fixed rail and a movable rail configuring a slide rail mechanism of the vehicle seat, and a detectable member provided to the other one of the fixed rail and the movable rail, the protection cover structure comprising:

• a protection cover provided to one of the fixed rail and the movable rail, the protection cover being configured to cover and protect the magnetic detector such that an inner surface of the protection cover faces the magnetic detector,
• wherein the protection cover includes:
• a side cover part which covers a side of the magnetic detector;
• and
• a cover part which covers a detection part of the magnetic detector, and
• wherein a tip end portion of the cover part is formed with a lip-shaped contact part which is configured to slidably contact a sidewall surface of the other one of the fixed rail and the movable rail such that the inner surface of the protection cover faces a detectable part of the detectable member.
