ABSTRACT:
A weighing table system in which load cells are disposed between support columns and the load-supporting platform. The load cells are isolated from torsional forces applied to the columns by hub members enclosing the tops of each of the columns. The horizontal top surfaces of the hub members directly support the load cells. The hub member is interconnected with the column for rotation therewith. A pair of arm members perpendicular to each other have inner ends which are fixed to the hub member and extend horizontally outwardly. Rigid horizontal tie-rods have ends affixed to each of the other ends of the tie-rods are fixed to brackets carried by the platform.
In a preferred embodiment, horizontal rollers are journaled for rotation in the outer ends of each of the arm members, to contact abutting bearing vertical surfaces and transmit transverse horizontal loads to the hub member. A rigid horizontal tie-rod has one end affixed to the hub and the other end fixed to the platform to transmit the transverse forces to the platform.
