Patent ID: 8841551

Claim:
A sliding device for routing an electric wire between a vehicle body and a sliding body supported by a supporting body slidably attached to a long tubular supporting rail fixed to the vehicle body, said sliding device comprising: a tubular receiving part extended along a longitudinal direction of the supporting rail and parallel to the supporting rail, and fixed to the vehicle body for receiving an extra length of the electric wire; a tube made of an elastically deformable material for receiving the electric wire; a holding part that slides in conjunction with the supporting body while holding the tube drawn into an inside of the supporting rail from one end of the supporting rail; and a guiding member on which a guiding part is provided for bending the tube extracted out from one end of the supporting rail in a U-shape, wherein both ends of the U-shaped bend are at different heights, and guiding the tube into an inside at one end of the receiving part, and for guiding the tube onto an inner side wall of the receiving part away from the supporting rail, wherein the tube is further bent in a U-shape in the receiving part and received in the receiving part, wherein an extracting part is provided on the guiding member for intersecting the electric wire extracted from the tube which is further folded back in the receiving part at a different height from the guiding part to extract the electric wire from the receiving part, and wherein the extracting part comprises: a hole connecting an inside of one end of the receiving part with a space positioned at a lower part on a base near the supporting rail; and a pair of standing walls extended vertically from the base toward the vehicle body.
