ABSTRACT:
A dynamometer comprising a pair of similar leaf springs (4 and 5), lying in approximately the same plane, and at least one additional leaf spring (24). The outer part of the additional leaf spring (24) and any other supplementary leaf springs (6, 7, 19, and 20) replacing the single leaf spring and being fastened to the frame (1) and the inner part being fstened to the middle block (8). The leaf springs (6, 7, and 24) lie in a plane approximately parallel to that of the first pair of leaf springs (4 and 5), while the supplementary leaf springs (19 and 20) lie in the same plane as the first pair of leaf springs (4 and 5). An elastic rod (9 and 10) is attached to the middle of each of the leaf springs (4 and 5), respectively, and a force-measuring device (11) is located between these rods. The force being measured is exerted perpendicularly to the planes of the leaf springs (4 through 7, 19, 20, and 24) on the middle block (8) as a compressive or tractive force, and the middle block is displaced in a parallel direction by the leaf springs. At the same time, the rods (9 and 10) are either spread apart or forced closer together, and the force-measuring device (11) is affected accordingly.
