METHOD AND DEVICES FOR MEASURING WEIGHT

摘要

The present invention relates to a device (2) for measuring the weight of a load, comprising a first portion (4), a second portion (6) and an elongate member (8), the elongate member (8) being attachable to the first (4) and second portions (6). The device (2) further comprises one or more sensor elements (22) for detecting movement of the elongate member (8) when load is imposed on one or other of the first (4) or second portions (6). The detected movement of the elongate member (8) differentially between the first (4) and second portions (6) corresponding to the weight of the applied load, the elongate member (8) and one or more sensor elements (22) being locatable in a cavity (11) in one or other of the first (4) or second portions (6).
