Abstract:
A vehicle seat sliding apparatus includes an upper rail that supports a seat at an upper side, a lower rail that supports the upper rail to be relatively movable manner in a longitudinal direction of the upper rail, and a lock mechanism configured to restrain the upper rail from moving relative to the lower rail. The upper rail includes two side walls that are opposed in a width direction of the upper rail and an upper wall that connects the two side walls. The upper wall has a plurality of seat fasteners. The upper rail has at least one hole between a longitudinal end of the upper rail and one of the seat fasteners closest to the longitudinal end. The hole is a cutout formed in each of the two side walls and the upper wall.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle seat sliding apparatus comprising:\n an upper rail that supports a seat at an upper side; a lower rail that supports the upper rail to be relatively movable manner in a longitudinal direction of the upper rail; and a lock mechanism configured to restrict movement of the upper rail relative to the lower rail, wherein the upper rail includes two side walls that are opposed in a widthwise direction of the upper rail and an upper wall that connects the two side walls, the upper wall includes a plurality of seat fasteners, and one of the seat fasteners closest to a longitudinally rearmost end of the upper rail is a rearmost seat fastener, the upper rail includes a folded portion extending from a lower end of each of the two side walls in a state folded upwardly and toward an outer side in the widthwise direction of the upper rail from each of the two side walls, the folded portion includes a rearmost end portion that extends to the longitudinally rearmost end of the upper rail, and the rearmost end portion is an abutment portion that abuts against the lower rail when a tearing load that lifts the rearmost seat fastener is applied to the upper rail, and the upper rail includes at least one hole between the rearmost end portion of the folded portion and the rearmost seat fastener, wherein the hole is a cutout formed in each of the two side walls and the upper wall.
