Abstract
This inventive scale consists of a frame (2), a platform (3) parallel and perpendicular to the frame (2), a load lifter (5) and a level mechanism consisting of at least one arm (1). The lever mechanism transmits the load from the platform (3) to the load lifter (5) and is connected to the frame (2), the platform (3) and the load lifter (5) by means of couplings (10, 13, and 15). The lever mechanism, consisting of at least one arm (1), has a flexible connector at each end and one in the middle (7, 8, and 9). The end connectors (7 and 9) are attached to the platform (3) and the load lifter (5) by means of pins (10 and 15), respectively. The middle connector (8) is attached to the frame (2) by means of two swivel couplings (13).
Claims7
A scale comprising
- a frame (2);
- a platform (3) mounted parallel and perpendicular to the
- frame (2);
- a load sensor (5);
- a lever mechanism having at least one flexible arm (1) which bends and transmits the force of the weight from the platform (3) to the load sensor (5);
- couplings (10, 13 and 15) connecting the lever mechanism to the frame (2), the platform (3) and the load sensor (5);
- and
- flexible connectors (7, 8, 9) attaching the flexible arm (1) to the couplings (10, 13, and 15) for permitting the flexible arm to bend in response to weight from the platform (3).
