Abstract
Weighing device mountable between a three-points lifting means of a tractor and a load or apparatus to be weighed, said device having two parallel frames adjacently connected to each other for limited movement, a measuring means being mounted between the frames, the connection between the frames being realized by means of stiff elastically deformable strips such as strips of stainless steel, covered at one or both sides with stiffening plates leaving only a small flexion region or by strips mounted to the upper and lower sides of the frames.
Claims11
Device for weighing a load or apparatus, said device comprising a first frame which is attachable to a three-point lifting means of a tractor and a second frame including means for connecting the second frame to the load or apparatus so as to support the load or apparatus, said frames being mutually connected to each other by at least three link members, each of said link members being connected at its ends to the first frame and the second frame respectively, said link members each comprising horizontally extending elastically deformable strips and each strip including a central region and first and second end regions respectively located between the central region and the ends of links connected to the respective frames, said central region being longer than, and having greater thickness and stiffens than, said first and second regions, and the lower ends of said frames each defining a central open space, said frames forming together with said links in side view a parallelogram-like structure, and said device further comprising a weight measuring means for measuring weight forces working between said frames.
Device for weighing a load or apparatus, said device comprising a first frame which is attachable to a three-point lifting means of a tractor and a second frame including means for connecting said second frame to a load or apparatus so as to support the load or apparatus, said frames being mutually connected to each other by at least three link members, and each of said link members being connected at its ends to the first and the second frame respectively, said link members comprising strips and each of said strips comprising a central region having end regions on opposite side thereof connected to the respective frames, said central region being longer and thicker than said end regions, said frames each including an upper portion and lower portions which are spaced apart to define an opening therebetween, one of said links being mounted to central parts of the upper portions of the frames and two further links being mounted to outer parts of the lower portions of the frames respectively, said frames forming together with said links in side view a parallelogram-like structure, and such device further comprising a weight measuring means for measuring weight forces working between said frames.
