Abstract:
One example of a sliding device for a vehicle seat that can reduce false detection by a sensor is disclosed. The sliding device includes a fixed rail fixed to a vehicle; a movable rail, to which the vehicle seat is directly or indirectly fixed, that is slidable relative to the fixed rail; a mounting bracket having a fixed portion directly or indirectly fixed to the movable rail, and an extending portion extending from the fixed portion to a front side of the seat; a sensor fixed to the mounting bracket and displaced with the movable rail to detect a position of the movable rail; and a restrictor located closer to the front side of the seat than the fixed portion is. The restrictor restricts a displacement of the sensor by contacting the mounting bracket or the sensor when the extending portion is displaced in excess of a predefined extent.

Claim (Index 1):
A sliding device for slidably supporting a vehicle seat, the sliding device comprising:\n a fixed rail that is fixed to a vehicle; a movable rail, to which the vehicle seat is directly or indirectly fixed, that is slidable relative to the fixed rail; a mounting bracket including:\n a fixed portion fixed directly or indirectly to the movable rail, and \n an extending portion extending from the fixed portion to a front side of the vehicle seat, \n a sensor that is fixed to the mounting bracket and configured to be displaced together with the movable rail to detect a position of the movable rail; and a restrictor that is located closer to the front side of the vehicle seat than the fixed portion is, and restricts a displacement of the sensor by coming in contact with the mounting bracket or the sensor when the extending portion of the mounting bracket is displaced in excess of a predefined extent.
