One of the mounting areas is provided with a bore (38) through which a seat fastening screw (30) is engaged. The sensor (22) is provided with a travel sensor which is disposed parallel to the seat fastening screw (30) between the two fastening areas (26, 28) or to these rigidly connected parts (retaining plate60for example) and which measures the distance of these fastening areas (26, 28) parallel to the seat fastening screw (30).
