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.
