  • Thermally insulated weighing module
    Patent number: 7371978
    Abstract: Weighing module having a first mounting device which is in force-transmitting contact with a load that is to be determined, also having a second mounting device which is connectable to a supporting structure that supports the weighing module. A load cell is arranged between the mounting devices and cooperates with a load-transmitting device. The weighing module has a first and a second receiving cup, each of which has a concavity designed to receive the force-transmitting element, which receiving cups are arranged between the mounting devices. At least one concavity has an elliptical cross-section in a plane that is substantially orthogonal to the direction of the load.
    Type: Grant

  • Weighing module
    Publication number: 20080006452
    Abstract: Weighing module having a first mounting device which is in force-transmitting contact with a load that is to be determined, also has a second mounting device which is connectable to a supporting structure that supports the weighing module. A load cell is arranged between the mounting devices. At least one of the mounting devices is configured so that the mounting device constitutes a means for thermal insulation which thermally insulates the load cell against the load and/or against the supporting structure.
