Patent number: 11660986Abstract: The present invention provides a powered rail apparatus for a vehicular seat. A stationary rail is mounted to a floor panel so as to be hidden, and a movable rail, which is to be assembled with a seat, is coupled to the stationary rail via a rack-and-pinion mechanism so as to be moved anteroposteriorly. A power cable, which is configured to supply the power required to move the movable rail anteroposteriorly, to a motor, is disposed in the stationary rail so as to be hidden and so as to be moved together with the movable rail such that the movable rail can be smoothly moved forwards and backwards. Since the stationary rail and the power cable are embedded in the floor panel, it is possible to realize planarization of the floor panel.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: HYUNDAI TRANSYS INC.Inventors: Sung Min Shim, Gyong Min Kim, Seong Jun Hwang
