First Claim
1. A seat sliding mechanism comprising:
- a lower rail which is provided on a side of a vehicle floor;
an upper rail which is provided at a lower part of a seat body and which is slidably supported by the lower rail along front and rear directions;
a position sensor which is provided at the upper rail and which detects a position along the front and rear directions; and
a sensor bracket which is provided at the lower rail and whose proximity state to the position sensor is to be detected,wherein the sensor bracket includes;
a base which is fixed to a bottom of the lower rail;
a detected portion which is detected by the position sensor; and
a supporting portion which extends between the base and the detected portion such that, along the front and rear directions, a rearmost end of the detected portion is forward of a rearmost end of the base, andwherein the sensor bracket is provided at the lower rail such that the detected portion is higher than the lower rail.

Abstract
A seat sliding mechanism includes a lower rail, an upper rail, a position sensor and a sensor bracket. The lower rail is provided on a side of a vehicle floor. The upper rail is provided at a lower part of a seat body and is slidably supported by the lower rail along front and rear directions. The position sensor is provided on the upper rail and detects a position along front and rear directions. The sensor bracket is provided on the lower rail and its proximity state to the position sensor is to be detected. The sensor bracket includes a base, a detected portion and a supporting portion. The base is fixed to a bottom of the lower rail. The detected portion is detected by the position sensor. The supporting portion supports the detected portion.
