First Claim
1. A vehicle seat, comprising:
- a load sensor to measure a load of a passenger, the load sensor being disposed at a seat cushion frame;
left and right fixed rail members that are attachable to a vehicle;
left and right movable rail members that are movable with respect to the left and right fixed rail members;
left and right side frame members that are disposed above the left and right movable rail members; and
a submarine inhibition member that is disposed substantially between the left and right movable rail members, whereinthe submarine inhibition member is disposed more upward than the left and right movable rail members,the load sensor is disposed at at least one of the left and right movable rail members,a main body of the load sensor is disposed between at least one of the left and right side frame members and the at least one of the left and right movable rail members,the load sensor is disposed near at least one end section of the submarine inhibition member, andthe load sensor comprises a connector that extends from the main body of the load sensor in a substantially rearward direction along the at least one of the left and right moveable rail members.

Abstract
The submarine phenomenon can be prevented and the accuracy of a passenger'"'"'s weight measurement is improved. A vehicle seat includes a pair of fixed lower rails fixed on the floor of a passenger compartment, a pair of movable upper rails that are engaged with the fixed lower rails so as to be slidable in a front-and-rear direction with respect to each of the fixed lower rails, a sub frame which is disposed at an upper side of the movable upper rails, load sensors and that lie between the sub frame and the movable upper rails, brackets and which are disposed so as to erect them on each of the movable upper rails, and a submarine pipe 11 which is crossed between the brackets. The submarine pipe is disposed to be slidable in a left-and-right direction with respect to the right bracket.
