Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cover structure in a slide position detection device for a vehicle seat includes a magnetic detector disposed on a side of one of a fixed rail and a movable rail; a cover that covers the magnetic detector and that is disposed on the side of the one rail; and a detected portion disposed on a side of the other rail. The cover includes a lateral cover portion that covers a lateral portion of the magnetic detector, and a detection portion cover portion that faces and covers a detection portion of the magnetic detector; and the detection portion cover portion is provided with a ferromagnetic plate that faces the detection portion, the ferromagnetic plate being located at a position that is farther from the detection portion than a closest position of the detected portion relative to the detection portion, and the ferromagnetic plate shielding against magnetism from the magnetic detector.
First claim

What is claimed is: 1. A cover structure in a slide position detection device for a vehicle seat, the cover structure comprising: a magnetic detector that is disposed on a side of one of a fixed rail and a movable rail that constitute a slide mechanism for the vehicle seat; a cover that covers the magnetic detector and that is disposed on the side of the one of the fixed rail and the movable rail; and a detected portion that is disposed on a side of the other of the fixed rail and the movable rail, wherein: the cover includes a lateral cover portion that covers a lateral portion of the magnetic detector, and a detection portion cover portion that faces a detection portion of the magnetic detector and that covers the detection portion; and the detection portion cover portion is provided with a ferromagnetic plate that faces the detection portion, the ferromagnetic plate being located at a position that is farther from the detection portion than a closest position of the detected portion relative to the detection portion, and the ferromagnetic plate shielding against magnetism from the magnetic detector. 2. The cover structure according to claim 1 , wherein the lateral cover portion and the detection portion cover portion are integrally formed. 3. The cover structure according to claim 2 , wherein: the one of the fixed rail and the movable rail is the movable rail; the other of the fixed rail and the movable rail is the fixed rail, and is attached to a floor; the cover is formed of resin; and the ferromagnetic plate is provided on a side of a face of the detection portion cover portion, the face facing toward the magnetic detector. 4. The cover structure according to claim 1 , wherein a standing wall portion that extends toward the magnetic detector is provided at an end portion of the ferromagnetic plate, the end portion being on a side of the slide mechanism. 5. A cover structure in a slide position detection device for a vehicle seat, the cover structure comprising: a magnetic detector that is disposed on a side of one of a fixed rail and a movable rail that constitute a slide mechanism for the vehicle seat; a cover that covers the magnetic detector and that is disposed on a side of the one of the fixed rail and the movable rail; and a detected portion that is disposed on a side of the other of the fixed rail and the movable rail, wherein the cover includes a lateral cover portion that covers a lateral portion of the magnetic detector, and a ferromagnetic plate that is attached to the lateral cover portion, and that faces toward a detection portion of the magnetic detector, the ferromagnetic plate being located at a position that is farther from the detection portion than a closest position of the detected portion relative to the detection portion, and the ferromagnetic plate shielding against magnetism from the magnetic detector. 6. The cover structure according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic detector, the ferromagnetic plate, and the detected portion are disposed such that the closest position of the detected portion relative to the detection portion is positioned between the detection portion and the ferromagnetic plate. 7. The cover structure according to claim 5 , wherein the magnetic detector, the ferromagnetic plate, and the detected portion are disposed such that the closest position of the detected portion relative to the detection portion is positioned between the detection portion and the ferromagnetic plate.
