Abstract
A user force-application measurement system comprising: a base portion including: at least one cavity defining at least one surface; an upper portion including: at least one plunger assembly operably coupled to a rigid plate; and at least one force transducer. The at least one force transducer may be disposed between the at least one plunger assembly and the at least one surface of the at least one cavity when the at least one plunger assembly is received within the at least one cavity.
Claims19
A force measurement system comprising:
- a base portion including:
- at least one cavity defining a first planar surface and a second planar surface orthogonal to the first planar surface;
- an upper portion including:
- a plate:
- at least one plunger assembly operably coupled to an underside of the plate;
- and
- at least one pitching rubber operably coupled to a top side of the plate;
- a first transducer, configured to convert a mechanical force to
- one or more electrical signals, disposed on the first planar surface;
- and
- a second transducer, configured to convert a mechanical force to one or more electrical signals, disposed on the second planar surface;
- wherein the at least one plunger assembly is receivable within the at least one cavity,
- wherein the first transducer is disposed between the at least one plunger assembly and the first planar surface of the at least one cavity when the at least one plunger assembly is received within the at least one cavity,
- wherein the second transducer is disposed between the at least one plunger assembly and the second surface of the at least one cavity when the at least one plunger assembly is received within the at least one cavity, and
- wherein the at least one plunger assembly is configured to translate a force to at least one of the first transducer or the second transducer upon an application of force to the upper portion.
