VEHICLE SEAT SENSOR

A weight sensor (10) for sensing an applied weight. The sensor includes a first (20) and second (22) outer substrate that have a first (20C, 22C) and second (20D, 22D) end and an inner surface (20B, 22B) and an outer surface (20A, 22A). The first and second outer substrates (20, 22) are fixedly atta...

Zusammenfassung:	A weight sensor (10) for sensing an applied weight. The sensor includes a first (20) and second (22) outer substrate that have a first (20C, 22C) and second (20D, 22D) end and an inner surface (20B, 22B) and an outer surface (20A, 22A). The first and second outer substrates (20, 22) are fixedly attached together. Several strain gauge resistors (50, 52) are located on the outer surfaces of the first and second outer substrates (20A, 22A) to generate an electrical signal in response to the substrate being stressed by the applied weight. The electrical signal changes as a function of the applied weight. The sensor is useful in measuring the weight of a vehicle seat occupant.
