ABSTRACT:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a seat weight measuring apparatus and supporting structure that can be installed in a vehicle without changing the height of the existing seat frame. This is done by shifting the center line of the sensor unit
2
from the center line of the seat frame
34
/

/

to take advantage of a space for the insertion of the sensor on the side of the frame. Accordingly, the seat height does not need to be raised by the thickness of the sensor unit
2
as required in the conventional seat weight measuring apparatus. Depending on where space is available underneath the seat, the sensor units may also be positioned perpendicular to the seat rail, in a “Y” shape, or in a “T” shape.
