Zusammenfassung:The apparatus (10) includes a vehicle seat frame (20), a bracket (30), a first member (60), a second member (70), a lever (90), and a sensor (99). The vehicle seat frame (20) supports a load of the vehicle occupant in the vehicle seat (2). The load of the vehicle occupant in the vehicle seat (2) is transmitted through the bracket (30) from the vehicle seat frame (20) to the vehicle floor pan (4). The first member (60) is interposed between the vehicle seat frame (20) and the bracket (30). The second member (70) is interposed between the vehicle seat frame (20) and the bracket (30). The lever (90) bends as the seat frame (20) moves vertically relative to the bracket (30). The sensor (99) detects bending of the lever (90) and provides an output signal indicative of the amount of bending of the lever (90).
