LOAD DETECTING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE SEAT
First Claim
1. A load detecting device for a vehicle seat comprising:
- a supporting base adapted to be mounted on a floor of the vehicle;
a plurality of load sensors arranged along a forward and backward direction of a seat for the vehicle on the supporting base, each of the load sensors including;
a load input portion applied with load;
a deflection portion deflecting by a load transmitted from the load input portion; and
a deflection gauge measuring an amount of deflection generated at the deflection portion, the load sensors detecting the load based on the amount of deflection measured by the deflection gauge;
a connecting member connecting the load input portions of the load sensors arranged along the forward and backward direction of the seat;
a seat supporting member connected to the connecting member and adapted to support the seat for the vehicle, the seat supporting member transmitting load applied to the seat to the connecting member; and
a stopper preventing deformation of the connecting member at least in a vertical direction of the seat when load exceeding a predetermined value is applied to the connecting member.
