Abstract
A vehicle seat suspension mat () comprises suspension springs () for supporting a seat cushion () and a pressure sensor module () arranged on the springs for being applied against a bottom surface of the seat cushion. The pressure sensor module produces an electrical signal responsive to pressure acting on it. The pressure sensor module comprises a base plate () and a film-type pressure sensor () arranged on the base plate. The pressure sensor includes a pressure-sensitive cell (). The base plate comprises a frame () and an actuator () that is linked to the frame in such a way that it is capable of movement relative to the frame. The actuator is arranged against the pressure-sensitive cell of the film-type pressure sensor and comprises a fixation element () fixing the base plate to the springs. The fixation element provides a spacing between the base plate and the springs.
