1. A seat slide device comprising:
an inner slider and an outer slider disposed apart from each other in a lateral direction of a floor of a vehicle, each of the inner slider and the outer slider comprises
a fixed rail laid on the floor in a position extending in a front-rear direction,
a movable rail fixed to a lower portion of a seat of the vehicle and configured to be slidably guided by the fixed rail,
a bracket disposed on the movable rail with the front-rear direction as a longitudinal direction and configured so that a front side and a rear side swing opposite to each other in a vertical direction with a longitudinal intermediate part as a fulcrum,
a support bracket mounted onto the bracket via a hinge part arranged on the front side of the fulcrum on the bracket and configured to be rotate in only one direction from a predetermined normal orientation about an axis extending in the lateral direction with respect to the bracket, and
a movement restricting portion configured to restrict sliding movement of the movable rail while a rear end of the bracket is raised and to release the restriction against sliding movement of the movable rail while the rear end of the bracket is lowered; and
a towel bar arranged at a front lower part of the seat and connected and fixed to a front part of the support bracket of the inner slider and a front part of the support bracket of the bracket of the outer slider so as to be connected to each of the inner slider and the outer slider, wherein
when the support bracket is in the predetermined normal orientation, the hinge part prohibits a rotation of the support bracket while the towel bar is lifted, so that the support bracket and the bracket are integrally lifted, and the hinge part permits the rotation of the support bracket while the towel bar is lowered, so that the front part of the support bracket is lowered independently with respect to the bracket.
