FORCE TRANSDUCER FOR A VEHICLE SEAT
The invention relates to a force transducer (2) which is used to receive the applied force of weight in the mounting of a vehicle seat, comprising a force input element (4) in the vehicle seat, a force output element (7) connected to the mounting and an extension body (5) disposed in between the force input element (4) and the force output element (7), which allows for precise measurement of the applied force of weight in the mounting of the vehicle seat, irrespective of other force factors. The force input element (4) or the force output element (7) surrounds the extension body (5) on a level which is parallel to that of the weight force when exerted. At least one extension-measuring strip (9) is arranged on the extension body (5). Said strip absorbs the shear force parallel to the weight force.
