  After the upper rail 57 is moved to a desired position, when the operating force on the loop handle 95 is released, the urging force of the torsion spring 81 causes the lock teeth (engagement portions) 351 of the lock lever 67 to lock the lower rail 51. Engage with any one of the holes 65.

According to the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Due to the urging force of the wirework spring 111, the stepped pin 517 and the bottomed groove 97 of the loop handle 95 are pressed against each other, and there is no rattling. Accordingly, rotation of the loop handle 95 without rattling is obtained, and the feeling of operation of the loop handle 95 is improved.
(2) The bottomed groove 97 of the loop handle 95 gradually decreases in width toward the bottom, and becomes smaller than the diameter of the middle diameter part 513 of the stepped pin 517, so that the depth of the bottomed groove 97 is increased. The circumferential surface of the intermediate diameter portion 513 of the stepped pin 517 comes into contact with two wall surfaces facing in the vertical direction. Accordingly, more stable rotation of the loop handle 95 is obtained, and the feeling of operation of the loop handle 95 is further improved. (3) When the wirework spring 111 is engaged with the first surface 101 of the notch 99 of the loop handle 95. The urging force of the wirework spring 111 urges the loop handle 95 in the direction in which the lock mechanism 62 is locked, and in the direction in which the bottom of the bottomed groove 97 of the loop handle 95 approaches the stepped pin 517. By energizing the loop handle 95, only one energizing means is required, and the cost can be reduced.
(4) When a force for pulling out the bottomed groove 97 of the loop handle 95 from the stepped pin 517 is applied to the loop handle 95, the locking portion of the notch 99 of the wirework spring 111 is second from the first surface 101. Move to plane 103. When the locking point of the wirework spring 111 is the second surface 103, almost all of the urging force of the wirework spring 111 is only in the direction in which the bottom of the bottomed groove 97 approaches the stepped pin 517. The loop handle 95 cannot be easily pulled out from 517.
(5) Since the wirework spring 111 is used as the urging means, the degree of freedom in designing the urging means is increased.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the bottomed groove 97 is provided on the loop handle 95 side and the stepped pin 517 is provided on the upper rail 57 side has been described, but conversely, the pin is provided on the loop handle side and the bottomed side is provided on the upper rail side.
