Sliding seat position detection system
First Claim
1. A sliding seat position detection system comprising:
- a sensor provided on a seat that can slide on a floor of a vehicle; and
a magnetic body provided on the floor, the detection system detecting that the seat is at a predetermined position when the magnetic body is positioned beside the sensor as the seat slides, wherein the detection system further comprises;
a non-magnetic body that is connected to the magnetic body, the nonmagnetic body being positioned beside the sensor when the seat is at a position other than the predetermined position.

Abstract
A sliding seat position detection system includes a sensor provided on a seat that can slide on a floor of a vehicle, and a magnetic shielding member provided on the floor. The detection system detects that the seat is at a front end position when the shielding member provides a shield between a permanent magnet and a magnetism detection part of the sensor. A non-magnetic cover member is attached to the shielding member. When the seat is at a position other than the front end position, the cover member is positioned between the permanent magnet and the magnetism detection part of the sensor, thereby preventing erroneous detection due to magnetic foreign matter and other magnetic substances caught in or attached to the sensor.
