Abstract

A slide protector slidably engaged with a slide rail together with a slide support has a harness holder holding a wire harness and a hooking section capable of hooking the slide support with the harness holder and the hooking section formed integrally. Though the wire harness causes a resistance force when the slide support slides rearward in the sliding direction and the slide protector is pulled rearward, reliability of the attachment structure of the slide protector to the slide support can be enhanced since the hooking section and the harness holder holding the wire harness are formed integrally.

Claims (18)

1. A slide protector slidably engaged with a guide rail in a sliding direction together with a slide support for supporting a seat upward, the slide support being slidably inserted into the same guide rail as the slide protector, the slide protector comprising:

a harness holder configured to hold a wire harness; and

a pair of hooking sections integrally formed with the harness holder and configured to hook the slide support,

wherein the slide protector is coupled with an end of the slide support,

wherein the hooking section has an arm extending in the sliding direction, and a hooking protrusion protruding from the arm in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction and configured to be capable of hooking a recess-shaped receiving portion formed on the slide support,

wherein the pair of the hooking sections are arranged such that a pair of the receiving portions are pinched between the pair of the hooking sections in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, and

wherein the arm extends along an inner wall surface of the guide rail.

2. The slide protector according to claim 1 , further comprising a contacting portion located on a side surface at one side of the slide protector in the sliding direction and configured to be capable of coming into contact with the slide support which slides toward another side.

3. The slide protector according to claim 1 , wherein each hooking protrusion protrudes toward the opposing hooking section.

4. The slide protector according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of hooking sections is formed integrally with an inner wall of a surrounding wall of the harness holder.

5. The slide protector according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of hooking sections is arranged in a row in a width direction that is substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction.

6. A slide protector slidably engaged with a guide rail in a sliding direction together with a slide support for supporting a seat upward, the slide support being slidably inserted into

the guide rail as the slide protector, the slide protector comprising:

a harness holder configured to hold a wire harness;

a spring member integrally formed with the harness holder; and

a hooking section integrally formed with the harness holder and configured to hook the slide support,

wherein the slide protector is configured to be coupled with an end of the slide support, and

wherein the spring member of the harness holder contacts the guide rail.
