Abstract
A seat slide rail structure comprising a lower rail having a channel member with a C-shaped cross-section fixedly attached to a floor and having an open side end; a slider, fixedly secured to a seat, having a vertical portion opposing the open side end and combined with the lower rail in axially slidable manner; a lock member rotatably supported by the slider and adapted to be rotated by actuating means; a lower member depending from the lower rail; and a slider extension bent from a lower end of the slider so as to oppose both surfaces of the lower member may engage each other even when a high lateral load is applied to the seat slide rail structure. A seat slide rail device typically comprises a master and a slave seat slide rail structure, and the former has lock teeth which can selectively engage with lock holes of the lower rail by a manual actuating means while the latter has lock teeth which synchronize with the other lock teeth and selectively engage with lock holes of the lower rail of the slave seat slide rail structure. In order to assure full engagement of the slave lock teeth with the corresponding lock holes, the slave lock teeth are provided with tapers which are greater than those of the master lock teeth, and/or the slave lock member is axially slidable so that any misalignment between the lock teeth and the lock holes may be accommodated.
