Abstract:
A seat slide adjuster suited to weight-saving has a structure in which two rows of engaged portions are provided at a predetermined interval in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of a locking plate that constitutes a locking mechanism, and the engaged portions engage with locking tooth parts on both sides of a lower rail during locking. Force that works between the locking plate and the lower rail acts on the locking tooth parts on both sides in a well-balanced manner and is not biased to either side. As a result, the durability of the components thereof can be improved. In addition, because two rows of hole portions in the locking plate engage, rattling of the locking plate is not likely to occur.

Claim (Index 1):
A seat slide adjuster for adjusting a position of a seat in a front-rear direction, comprising:\n a lower rail: an upper rail that is slidably provided to the lower rail and connected to a seat frame that comprises a seat; and a locking mechanism that locks the upper rail to the lower rail at an appropriate slide position, wherein the lower rail comprises locking tooth parts on both sides in a longitudinal direction that protrude downward in a comb shape, and wherein the locking mechanism comprises:\n a locking plate that corresponds to the locking tooth parts located on both sides of the lower rail in the longitudinal direction that includes an engaged portion that engages with the locking tooth parts formed in two rows; and \n a locking mechanism support member supported on the upper rail side and including elastic support means for elastically supporting the locking plate so as to allow the engaged portion of the locking plate to engage with the locking tooth parts.
