Title:
POSITION DETECTING APPARATUS FOR SLIDING SEAT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3689402
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent false detection in a sensor from occurring caused by magnetic foreign material in a position detecting apparatus for a sliding seat.
SOLUTION: The apparatus comprises the sensor 27 provided in a seat S slidable along a floor 14 of a vehicle and a shielding member 23 made of magnetic material and provided in the floor 14. When the shielding member 23 shields in between a permanent magnet and a magnetic detecting unit of the sensor 27, it is detected that the seat S is located in the front-end position. By attaching a nonmagnetic cover member 24 to the shielding member 23, and, when the seat S is not located in the front-end position, providing the cover member 24 between the permanent magnet and the magnetic detecting unit of the sensor 27, false detection caused by jam and adhesion of foreign material or the like in the sensor 27 is prevented from occurring.
