See full text

A occupant weight detecting device detects the weight of an occupant setting on a vehicle seat assembly and includes a pivot support mechanism for supporting the vehicle seat assembly for pivotal movement about a horizontally extending shaft relative to a seat fixing portion in a vehicle; an elastic force applying mechanism for applying a biasing force to the vehicle seat assembly to enable the latter to pivot an angle, proportional to a load imposed on the vehicle seat assembly, relative to the seat fixing portion; a pivot angle detecting mechanism for detecting an angle of pivot of the vehicle seat assembly relative to the seat fixing portion; and a pivot restricting mechanism for defining a pivotal range over which the vehicle seat assembly can pivot relative to the seat fixing portion.
