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).
