  • Patent number: 3977242
    Abstract: A force measuring apparatus having a vibrator which resonates with the frequency of a vibration generator. The force to be measured is applied directly to the vibrator in a manner to effectively tune it to the frequency of the generator. The vibrating motions of the vibrator are transmitted to a transducer which converts them to an electric signal which in turn is fed into a readout device.
