Patent Images
1. An occupant weight detection system comprising:
- first and second seat rails;
a vehicle seat supported by the seat rails to permit movement of the seat in a direction parallel to the first and second seat rails;
a plurality of weight detection means for sharing detection of the weight of an occupant seated on the vehicle seat; and
a linking member for integrally linking the plurality of weight detection means so that the weight detection means maintain a predetermined positional relationship to each other;
wherein the plurality of weight detection means are disposed below the first and second seat rails and the linking member.

Abstract
In an occupant weight detection system, a pair of weight detection units are mounted along upper faces of base members fixed to a floor of an automobile. A square-frame-shaped linking member made of an iron sheet is interposed between the pair of weight detection units and a pair of seat rails. The pair of weight detection units are integrally linked by the linking member to maintain a positional relationship to each other at a predetermined relationship. Therefore, it is possible to prevent these weight detection means from being mounted in a state in which they are twisted or displaced relative to each other, thereby maintaining the detection accuracy.
