A load cell support structure for a scale comprising a base support member for mounting at least one load cell; a load bearing member movable with respect to said base support member and having an upper surface for receiving a load; a load cell engaging member adapted to operatively engage at least one load cell in a direction of a load applied to said upper surface of said load bearing member; a load transfer portion integrally formed with said load bearing member and operatively coupled to said load cell engaging member so as to transfer a load from said upper surface to at least one load cell via said load cell engaging member; at least one biasing member adapted to urge said load transfer member towards said load cell engaging member with a predetermined biasing force and in a direction opposing a load applied to said upper surface of said load bearing member; at least one pivot member operatively engaging said load transfer member and said load cell engaging member, so as to allow pivotal movement of said load transfer member with respect to said load cell engaging member about said pivot member and in at least one plane parallel to the direction of a load applied to said upper surface. |
