Abstract
A foot assembly for a weighing scale comprises a base, a ring arranged in coaxial spaced relation to the base; and a plurality of deformable compensation beams projecting outwardly from a portion of the base so as to support the ring.
Claims21
A foot assembly for transferring a load from a platform to a base of a weighing scale comprising:
- a base;
- a retaining member arranged in circumferential spaced relation to said base;
- and
- a plurality of deformable compensation beams projecting outwardly from a portion of said base so as to support said retaining member.

A weighing scale comprising:
- a platform coupled to a mounting tray, said mounting tray including a plurality of apertures;
- a plurality of force transfer beams;
- and
- a plurality of foot assemblies positioned within said apertures and operatively interconnected to said plurality of force transfer beams, each of said foot assemblies including a base having a plurality of deformable compensation beams projecting outwardly from said base to support a retaining member that is coupled to said mounting tray.
1 more element
A weighing scale comprising:
- a platform operatively coupled to a plurality of foot assemblies, each foot assembly comprising:
- a base having a bottom surface for contacting a portion of a floor;
- and a plurality of deformable compensation beams projecting outward from a portion of the base;
- a plurality of force transfer beams arranged to operatively interconnect to said plurality of foot assemblies;
- a mounting portion coupled to a bottom surface of said platform and associated with each of said plurality of foot assemblies;
- wherein in response to a force applied to a top surface of said platform, said force is translated to said mounting portion engaging said bottom surface without said platform contacting said force transfer beams, to cause a downward force to be applied to said foot assemblies, and wherein said deformable beams tend to locate said applied force at a central position where said foot assemblies engage said force transfer beams.
