An apparatus ( 10 ) is used with a vehicle seat ( 2 ) and a vehicle floor pan ( 4 ) for supporting the vehicle seat. A sensor lever ( 100 ) transmits the load of the vehicle occupant from the vehicle seat ( 2 ) to the vehicle floor pan ( 4 ). The sensor lever ( 100 ) has a first end portion ( 102 ), a second end portion ( 112 ), and a middle portion ( 122 ) interposed between the first end portion and the second end portion. The middle portion ( 122 ) of the sensor lever ( 100 ) is movable with the vehicle seat ( 2 ). The sensor lever ( 100 ) has a first sensor portion ( 107 ) disposed between the middle portion ( 122 ) and the first end portion ( 102 ). The sensor lever ( 100 ) has a second sensor portion ( 109 ) disposed between the middle portion ( 122 ) and the second end portion ( 112 ). The first and second sensor portions ( 107, 109 ) bend as the vehicle seat ( 2 ) moves vertically relative to the vehicle floor pan ( 4 ). A carrier structure ( 150 ) rigidly connects to the sensor lever ( 100 ) at the first end portion ( 102 ) and the second end portion ( 112 ) for connection to the vehicle seat ( 2 ). The first and second sensor portions ( 107,109 ) provide an output signal indicative of the amount of movement of the middle portion ( 122 ). |
