ABSTRACT:
Load measuring apparatus particularly but not solely for the weighing of animals is supported on load-bearing feet. Each load bearing foot provides an electrical signal indicating the load thereon and the sum of the electrical signals indicates the total load. Each load bearing foot has a strut which is in use attached to the load, housing which rests on a load-bearing surface and a load cell which is fixed within housing and transmits the load force carried by strut to housing and thence to the load-bearing surface. The strut passes through an aperture in housing to bear against load cell which is in the central cavity of the housing. The strut is able to move towards load cell, but is substantially restricted from moving away from the load cell, and preferably is able to have some rotational movement relative to base. The load-bearing feet overcome the bulkiness and expensiveness of prior art weighing systems and are portable, inexpensive and accurate in use.
