  • Electronic scale assembly having incorporated spreader arm
    Patent number: 7022921
    Abstract: An electronic scale/spreader arm assembly for use with an apparatus includes an axial force transducer, such as a load cell, that is attachable to the apparatus. A spreader bar is configured to receive a support wherein the spreader bar and the load cell are interconnected such that the load cell is pivotally attached to the apparatus and the spreader arm is pivotally attached to the support while the spreader arm and the load cell are attached to one another such that non-axial loads imparted to the spreader arm will not be transmitted to the axial force transducer.
