ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a load detecting apparatus capable of detecting load and vibration applied to a support supporting a body of a human or an animal by a load sensor provided in the support, in particular such a load detecting apparatus capable of detecting micro vibration applied to the support, with a high noise immunity.The load detecting apparatus includes a plurality of load sensors1disposed in distribution within a detection target area of a support7, a selecting means6for selecting one or some of the plurality of load sensor(s)1, a detecting means5capable of detecting load and vibration applied to the support7, based on the output from the selected load sensor(s)1. The selecting means6effects the selection, based on either the outputs S from the respective load sensors or the outputs S from the respective load sensors, plus disposing positions of the respective load sensors.
