Abstract
A powered seat slide device including at least one pair of guide rails for slidably supporting a seat such that the position of the seat relative to a floor is adjusted frontwardly and rearwardly, comprises a drive motor causing a relative sliding movement of one of the guide rails to the other, through a driving mechanism employing a gear box fixed to the one of the rails to serve as a reduction gear transmitting rotation torque from the motor to a screw-threaded shaft which is fixed onto the one of rails and engaged with a nut member rigidly mounted on the other rail for rotation relative to the screw-threaded shaft, while reducing a motor speed and increasing torque created by the motor, a motor mounting bracket formed integral with the gear box, for directly connecting the motor to the gear box, and an opening provided in the side wall of the one of rails, for avoiding the interference between the motor assembly and the guide rails.
