Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a compact sliding device having a simple structure configured to reduce the number of cut lines formed on a mat mounted on a cabin of a vehicle.A sliding device 1 for routing an electric wire 5 between a vehicle floor and a seat includes: a rail 9 having a supporting rail 7 to which a supporting body 11 of the seat is attached, and a receiving part 8 extended along the supporting rail 7; a corrugate tube 4 receiving the electric wire 5; a slider 10 configured to slide in conjunction with the supporting body 11 while holding the corrugate tube 4 extracted into an inside of the supporting rail 7; and a guiding member 12 for bending the corrugate tube 4 extracted out of the supporting rail 7 in a U-shape, and guiding the corrugate tube 4 into an inside of the receiving part 8, and for guiding the corrugate tube 4 onto an inner side wall 81 of the receiving part 8 away from the supporting rail 7. The corrugate tube 4 is further bent in a U-shape in the receiving part 8, and a folded back part of the corrugate tube 4 abuts on an inner side wall 82 of the receiving part 8 near the supporting wall 7 owing to an elastic restoring force of th…
