Bottle tray with magnetic coupling and load cell overload protection

A load cell assembly for a vessel comprising:

• a load cell including,
• a fixed end, and
• a free end configured to receive a force in a first direction;
• and
• a deflection portion including,
• a first component coupled to the free end of the load cell, the first component defining a first cam surface and including a first magnet, and
• a second component configured to support the vessel, the second component defining a second cam surface configured to engage the first cam surface, the second component including a second magnet;
• and
• a bracket including,
• a wall, and
• a flange, the wall and the flange cooperating to at least partially define an interior region, wherein
• the fixed end of the load cell is fixed to the flange,
• the free end of the load cell is spaced apart from the flange to at least partially define a deflection region, the free end configured to move within the deflection region,
• in an engaged state, the second cam surface is in continuous direct contact with the first cam surface,
• in a disengaged state, at least a portion of the second cam surface is disengaged from the first cam surface, and
• the load cell assembly is configured to be retained in the engaged state by magnetic force between the first magnet and the second magnet.

• and
• a plate substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the load cell assembly, the plate defining an aperture,
• in an engaged state, the second cam surface is in continuous direct contact with the first cam surface, and
• in a disengaged state, at least a portion of the second cam surface is disengaged from the first cam surface, wherein
• the load cell and the first component are on a first side of the plate, and
• the second component extends through the aperture such that a first portion of the second component is on the first side of the plate and a second portion of the second component is on a second side of the plate.
