In order to develop a vehicle seat with a seat frame for the mounting of a sitting
area and with a supporting frame, which keeps the seat frame at a predetermined
distance from the vehicle floor and connects the vehicle seat to the vehicle floor,
in such a way that the seat supplies information on the weight of the occupants
which is substantially uninfluenced in particular by the conditions which are very
difficult in terms of measuring technology and the other special ambient conditions
within a vehicle, it is proposed that the supporting frame comprises a height-adjusting
device, in order to vary the distance of the seat frame from the vehicle floor
in a defined way, that at least three load cells which respond to a weight acting
on the sitting area and supply a signal corresponding to the weight are disposed
at the corner points of an imaginary polygonal area, the signal corresponding to
a weight resulting from a distance measurement, and that the load cells respectively
have a one-piece force transducer with an elastically deformable part and a non-deforming
part, the non-deforming part being fixed to the frame and the elastically deformable
part being secured at a pivot point of the height-adjusting mechanism, or vice versa.
