Abstract
An improved device for the measuring of weight or force is disclosed. This is an apparatus that allows for measurement of weight or force using a cantilever beam that is substantially insensitive to location of the weight or force within certain limits on the beam and is capable of correction for off-level conditions.
Claims6
1) An improved device for measuring weight or force comprising:
- a cantilever beam secured or affixed at one end, with multiple gauges or sensors placed at known locations on or in the beam substantially near to a secured end to detect local tensile and/or compressive stress or strain in the beam outboard of the sensors.
