  • Patent number: 6963036
    Abstract: The static or dynamic weighing apparatus for weighing an object or item, comprising a weighing assembly that includes a base with four (4) load cells attached to it, two (2) active load cells and two (2) passive load cells. Each active load cell has a mounting side and a weighing side. They are mounted to the base and to each other via a rigid weighing platform and are rotated 180° with respect to each other in the horizontal plane, thereby generating respective inverse error signals when an object or item is placed on or passes over the weighing platform. The two (2) passive load cells are mounted in the same manner. A combination of the voltage outputs from each of the respective two (2) load cells pairs negates all horizontally and vertically induced errors thus yielding a highly accurate two (2) times normal weight signal of the object or item being weighed.
