Structure for mounting a sensing element for measuring a load of a vehicle

Abstract

First and second case assemblies with their respective sensing elements stored into and fixed to the interior portions thereof are respectively stored into the first and second middle diameter portions of a shackle pin which not only are respectively located nearer to the two ends of a through hole so formed as to extend from the one end of the shackle pin to the other end thereof but also are respectively so formed as to correspond in shape to the first and second case assemblies. In the outer peripheral portions of the shackle pin which respectively correspond to the first and second middle diameter portions, in more particular, in the portions thereof shifted in phase by 180.degree. in the peripheral direction of the shackle pin, there are formed long grooves which respectively extend in the axial direction of the shackle pin. A laser beam is radiated onto the long grooves to thereby fix the inner peripheral surfaces of the first and second middle diameter portions to the inner peripheral surfaces of the first and second case assemblies by laser spot welding.
