  • Precision balance with resiliently mounted weighing pan
    Patent number: 3973637
    Abstract: A single-pan precision balance in which the forces of gravity acting on the weighing pan and the object to be weighed are transmitted to an electromechanical transducer by an upright spindle is equipped with a star-shaped leaf spring whose center is mounted on the spindle and whose arms engage the periphery of the weighing pan to prevent damage to the transducer by shock loads applied to the pan. Cooperating abutments on the pan and the supporting structure of the balance prevent excessive deformation of the spring.
