Abstract: A measurement device (10; 110; 210) and associated seating arrangement, in particular for measuring a weight acting on a vehicle seat, that includes: a force transmission element (12; 112; 212), which is connectable to a first unit, preferably a vehicle seat, and a measurement assembly (14; 50; 114; 214), which is rigidly connectable to a second unit (80), preferably a vehicle body part. The force transmission element (12; 112; 212) is pivotable about at least one axis around the measurement assembly (14; 50; 114; 214).

Abstract: A force transducer (2) for sensing the weight introduced into the mounting of a motor vehicle seat and comprises a force introduction element (4) that is connected to the motor vehicle seat, a force transfer element (7) that is connected to the mounting, and an extension member (5) that is arranged between the force introduction element (4) and the force transfer element (7) is disclosed which makes it possible to accurately determine the weight introduced into the mounting of the motor vehicle seat independently of other influencing forces by the fact that the force transfer element (4) or the force transfer element (7) surrounds the extension member (5) in a plane that extends parallel to the effective direction of the weight, and that at least one wire strain gauge (9) for sensing a shearing force parallel to the weight is arranged on the extension member (5).
