<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seating sensor capable of reducing a pressure-sensitive switch's nondetection caused by a difference of a cushion pad, while preventing a sense of discomfort, and provide a seat apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The seating sensor 1 includes the plurality of pressure-sensitive switches 40A-40F which are arranged between the cushion pad and a seat pan, and at least two 40C and 40D or 40E and 40F of the plurality of pressure-sensitive switches 40A-40F are connected together in parallel. Thereby, when a pressing force of the cushion pad is transferred even to one of the pressure-sensitive switches connected together in parallel, a connected state is maintained even in the case where the pressing force can be hardly transferred to the other pressure-sensitive switches. Consequently, the pressure-sensitive switch's nondetection caused by the difference of the cushion pad can be reliably reduced in comparison with the case where the pressure-sensitive switches are not connected together in parallel without a change of arrangement positions of the pressure-sensitive switches. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
