The upper rail is movable relative to the lower rail in a front and backward direction relative to the seat by the engagement of the screw shaft with the nut member. The holding bracket is fixed to the upper rail and the support bracket for supporting a gear case of the gear device over a circumferential area of the gear case on front, rear, upper and lower surfaces in cooperation with the first support bracket.
