WEIGHING SCALE WITH LEVEL COMPENSATING FOOT ASSEMBLY

摘要

A foot assembly 40 for a weighing scale is provided including a base 80 and an annular ring 82 that is arranged in coaxial spaced relation to the base 80, and supported by a plurality of resilient beams 84 that project radially outwardly from a portion of the base 80. Each of the resilient beams 84 comprises a compound curve contour so that the plurality of resilient beams 84 may twist and/or bend to take up and compensate for unwanted rotational moments or twisting torques that result from placement of the foot assembly 40 on an uneven surface. A weighing scale is also provided incorporating the foregoing foot assemblies 40, and including a platform 12 coupled to a mounting tray 14 and including a weight determination assembly 18 that is positioned between the platform 12 and the mounting tray 14. A plurality of force transfer beams 36, 38 are arranged within the mounting tray 14 so as to substantially support the platform 12 and the mounting tray 14 such that the mounting tray 14 is isolated from a support surface.
