ABSTRACT:
A seat belt tension sensing assembly fixedly secured to a vehicle. The seat belt tension sensing assembly has a housing and a slide slidably received within the housing, the slide being capable of movement between a first position and a second position within the housing, the second position corresponding to a tension in the seat belt consummate with a child safety seat being secured by the seat belt, the slide having a first opening for a portion of the seat belt to pass therethrough. A sensor is operably attached to the slide and is fixedly secured to the housing. The sensor generates a signal indicative of tension on the slide as the seat belt tension increases corresponding to movement of the slide toward the second position. A compliant member providing an urging force on the slide is operably connected to the slide to urge the slide into the first position. The slide and housing interface at the second position preventing further deflection of the compliant member and further loading on the sensor.
