Abstract
A load cell comprising an elastic body having a base, a flexible membrane that is adapted to yield upon application of a load to the membrane, a sensor for measuring the load applied to the membrane, at least one connector having a first end that is connected to the membrane and a second end that is connected to the sensor. The connector is configured to transmit a mechanical force that is applied to the membrane to the sensor. The connector can be attached to the membrane and/or the sensor by way of at least one pivotal connection.
Claims17
A load cell comprising
- an elastic body having a base;
- a flexible membrane having a configuration capable of yielding upon application of a load in a first direction to said membrane;
- at least one sensor having a configuration capable of measuring the load applied to said membrane;
- at least one connector having a longitudinal axis extending from a first end that is connected to said membrane and a second end that is connected to said sensor, where said connector has a configuration capable of transmitting a mechanical force that is applied to said membrane to said sensor;
- and
- at least one pivotal connection associated with at least one of said first end and said second end of said connector;
- wherein said longitudinal axis of said connector is arranged to be substantially parallel to said first direction of said load.
