1. A slide rail device of a vehicle, comprising:
a lower rail which extends in a forward/rearward direction and is provided with a large number of locked portions, which are arranged in the forward/rearward direction, said lower rail being immovable relative to a floor of the vehicle; an upper rail which is supported by said lower rail to be slidable in said forward/rearward direction and provided with two supporting portions, which are separated from each other in the forward/rearward direction; a lock spring, formed by processing a single metal wire material, which is provided with first and second supported portions, respectively supported by said two supporting portions and are separate from each other in the forward/rearward direction, and at least one locking portion which is selectively disengageably-engageable with said locked portions, wherein a biasing force of said lock spring biases said locking portion in a direction to engage with said locked portions; and a lock release lever, supported by said upper rail, which is rotatable between a locked position, at which said locking portion is allowed to engage with said locked portions, and an unlocked position, at which said lock release lever presses said lock spring in a direction such that said locking portion escapes from said locked portions against said biasing force, wherein said locking portion forms a region that is located between said first supported portion and said second supported portion of said lock spring, wherein a pressed portion, which is pressed by said lock release lever, is formed on a portion of said lock spring between said second supported portion and the locking portion that is positioned closest to said first supported portion, and wherein a fracture-inducing portion is provided on a portion of said lock spring between said pressed portion and said locking portion that is positioned closest to said first supported portion of said lock spring. |
