Abstract: A strap support apparatus has a body 121 having an elongare slot 131, and a strap support 141. The strap support 141 has a receiving portion 143 for receipt of a strap, a portion 145 that extends through the elongate slot of the body and defines an axis, and a portion 147 that is positioned on an opposite side of the slot from the receiving portion. Part of the strap support defines an engagement portion for selectively engaging part of the body to inhibit movement of the strap support along the slot. The strap support has a sliding configuration and an engaged configuration. The strap support 141 is adjustable between the sliding configuration and the engaged configuration by rotating the strap support about the axis relative to the body.

Abstract: Vehicle seat structure including a seat defining a surface contacting an occupying item, slide mechanisms coupled to the seat for enabling movement of the seat and support members for supporting the seat on the slide mechanisms such that weight of the occupying item passes through the support members. At least one support member has a region with a stiffness lower than the stiffness of a remaining region thereof. A strain gage measurement system generates a signal indicative of the weight of the occupying item and includes at least one strain gage transducer arranged in the lower stiffness region of the support member to measure strain thereof. The lower stiffness region can have a smaller outer circumference than a circumference of the remaining region of the support member and/or at least one aperture extends partially across the circumference of the support member to thereby define the lower stiffness region.
