Abstract
A portable weighing scale assembly which is comprised of a base structure including a double ended shear beam load cell structure. The shear beam load cell structure has top and bottom brace members and a spacer plate located at its center position and to which the load platform is mounted. The ends of the load cell structure are mounted to a support saddle and strap which are fixed to opposing base members of the base structure.
Claims20
A low profile weighing scale assembly comprising:
- (a) a low profile base structure having opposing elongated support members of a predetermined length and each having a central portion;
- (b) a double ended shear beam load cell structure having opposing strain gauge means mounted at each end thereof;
- (c) a pair of saddle base members each having a notch therein and a pair of saddle strap members, said saddle base members being mounted to said central portions of said support members, said load cell structure ends being placed in said saddle base member notches, said saddle strap members being fixed to said saddle base members over said placed load cell structure ends, and said shear beam load cell ends being fixed to each said support member;
- (d) a planar load platform extending between said opposing support members;
- and
- (e) means to mount said load platform to said shear beam load cell structure.

A low profile weighing scale assembly comprising:
- (a) a low profile base structure comprising opposing linear plate members, each having a predetermined length and a central portion;
- (b) a double ended shear beam load cell assembly for mounting to and between said central portions of said opposing linear plate members;
- (c) mounting means for attaching the ends of said shear beam load cell assembly to said central portions of said opposing linear plate members;
- (d) a planar load platform extending between said opposing linear plate members;
- and
- (e) a spacer plate structure, a top brace member and a bottom brace member, said spacer plate and said top brace member being mounted to the top central portion of said load cell assembly and to said load platform and said bottom brace member being mounted to the bottom central portion of said load cell assembly, for mounting said load platform to said shear beam load cell assembly.

A low profile weighing scale assembly comprising:
- (a) a low profile base structure having opposing elongated support members of a predetermined length and each having a central portion;
- (b) a single double ended shear beam load cell structure having opposing strain gauge means mounted proximate each end thereof and forming a central load bearing region thereinbetween;
- (c) clamp means to rigidly and fixedly mount said load cell structure ends, outside said load bearing region, to said central portions of said opposing support members, said clamp means including a pair of base members centrally disposed on said support members and having a notch for placement of said load cell structure ends, and a strap member disposed over each said base member notch;
- (d) a planar load platform extending between said opposing support members;
- and
- (e) means to mount said load platform to said load cell structure, inside said load bearing region.
