Abstract
A lifter mounting structure for mounting a seat lifter on a seat slide rail unit consists of a lower stationary guide rail rigidly mounted on an automotive floor panel and an upper slidable guide rail having a sliding-contact section slidably fitted to the lower stationary guide rail, comprises a mounting bracket tightly fitted to the upper slidable guide rail and having a pair of opposing side wall section. A laterally extending shaft member is provided beneath a bottom of the seat and rotatably linked to the upper slidable guide rail through the mounting bracket. A seat support link is disposed between the laterally extending shaft member and the bottom of the seat for moving the seat upwardly and downwardly and has a substantially C-shaped member formed with a pair of opposing side wall sections. The lifter mounting structure includes a positioning structure for positioning the seat support link to the mounting bracket. The positioning structure includes a pivotal hole formed at one of the side wall sections of the mounting bracket and one shaft end of the laterally extending shaft member, which is inserted into the pivotal hole.
