Member position detection apparatus not affected by external magnetic field
First Claim
1. A member position detecting apparatus for detecting that a metallic moving member guided by a metallic stationary rail has reached a predetermined position of the stationary rail, wherein one of a magnet and a magnetic sensor is disposed at a position corresponding to the predetermined position of the stationary rail, wherein the other of the magnet and the magnetic sensor is disposed at a position of the moving member facing the stationary rail, and wherein the magnet and the magnetic sensor are disposed on inner sides of the stationary rail and the moving member.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a member position detecting apparatus having a high degree of freedom for design and layout of a seat rail, capable of suppressing accumulation of dust and eliminating influence of an external magnetic field. A member position detecting apparatus 1 has a function of detecting whether a metallic seat rail (a moving member) 3 guided by a metallic stationary rail 2 has reached a front end position (a predetermined position) P on the stationary rail 2. The openings of the stationary rail 2 and the seat rail 3 face each other and the end portions thereof are folded and engaged with each other. The stationary rail 2 is disposed on the floor of a vehicle, and a planar magnet 5 is provided at a front end portion thereof. The seat rail 3 is fixed on a lower portion of the vehicle seat, and a magnetic sensor 7 is provided to face the magnet 5 at the front end portion of the seat rail.
