ABSTRACT:
A vehicle driver seat is equipped with a switch assembly responsive to the application of a load on the seat to disable the ignition circuitry of the vehicle upon the removal of the load from the seat. The switch assembly includes a generally C-shaped spring located underneath the seat cushion. The end portions of the spring are displaced laterally when the spring is depressed as occurs when an operator sits on the vehicle seat. The lateral displacement of the spring ends pulls a switch plunger to activate the vehicle ignition system.
