The present invention relates to a seat sliding apparatus for a vehicle, and in particular to a seat sliding apparatus including a pair of upper rails for supporting a seat-cushion are slidably mounted on a respective pair of lower rails to be secured to a floor of a vehicle-body, and a method of making such a seat sliding apparatus.
In a conventional seat sliding apparatus of the type which is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-open Print No.62(1987)-123440, a pair of lower rails are secured to a floor of a vehicle-body, and a pair of upper rails for supporting a seat-cushion are slidably mounted on the respective lower rails. Between each upper rail and the corresponding lower rail, an auxiliary sliding member is interposed for assisting the sliding movement of the upper rail. The upper rail is secured with a stopper which is in dependent therefrom per se, and an abutment of the stopper with the sliding member serves for the regulation of the sliding movement of the upper rail.
However, the stopper per se is separated from the upper rail, which leads to an increase of the number of parts and is cumbersome upon connection of the stopper to the upper rail.
