ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for measuring the load applied in a selected plane to a cantilever-type beam, without regard to the exact point of load application. The apparatus, in one embodiment, features a pair of elongated bar-like devices mounted at points spaced along such beam, and projecting toward and overlapping each other--each device being constructed, under all conditions of beam bending, to remain tangent to a line parallel to the beam's neutral axis adjacent the point where the device is attached. The spacing which develops at a selected region between the overlapping portions of these devices with loaded beam bending is directly indicative of the amount of load on the beam. This indication does not depend upon how far from the beam's fixed end the load is applied, so long as the load is applied no further inwardly on the beam than the mounting point for the outermost bar-like device.
Other embodiments feature interconnected or interengaged bar-like devices equipped with electromechanical deflection sensors. These devices tend to deflect with beam bending, and such deflection is directly indicative of beam loading.
