Abstract:
Disclosed is one example of a sliding device in which occurrence of damage of a member closing an opening of a fixed rail can be inhibited. The sliding device includes: a fixed rail including an opening opened upward, the opening being arranged in a longitudinal direction of the fixed rail; a movable rail slidable relative to the fixed rail in a state where at least part of the movable rail is exposed through the opening; and a first closure member slidable relative to the fixed rail and capable of closing at least part of the opening, the first closure member receiving a force from the movable rail to thereby slide in a state where an opposed surface opposed to the movable rail is spaced apart from the movable rail via a clearance. The movable rail includes a support portion that supports the first closure member in a slidable manner.

Claim (Index 4):
The sliding device according to  claim 3 ,\n wherein a cross-section of the first closure member orthogonal to a sliding direction thereof has a substantially U-shape with its lower side opened, the substantially U-shape comprising:\n the opposed surface; \n a first wall; and \n a second wall facing the first wall in substantially horizontal directions, \n wherein the support portion comprises:\n a first sliding-contact surface in sliding contact with a lower end of the first wall; and \n a second sliding-contact surface in sliding contact with a lower end of the second wall, \n wherein the first sliding-contact surface is inclined such that an end of the first sliding-contact surface closer to the second wall is higher than an end of the first sliding-contact surface closer to the first wall, and wherein the second sliding-contact surface is inclined such that an end of the second sliding-contact surface closer to the first wall is higher than an end of the second sliding-contact surface closer to the second wall.
