  • Patent number: 4828055
    Abstract: A weightbridge with pivotal supporting system. The weightbridge may be of either electronic or mechanical measuring type. In an electronic weightbridge embodiment, the supporting system is also a connecting system for adjacent deck sections. One of the deck sections has pairs of spaced plates extending therefrom with a pin attached thereto. A load cell is mounted on a base below the plates. The pins on the plates are interconnected with ends of the load cell by a pair of links. Sleeves are positioned on the pins and are engaged by the links. An adjacent deck section has plates extending therefrom, each plate having a notch therein for pivotal engagement with the pins. The deck sections may be locked against pivotation if desired. In a mechanical weightbridge embodiment, a plate extends transversely from an end of a deck section and has a pin with opposite ends extending therefrom. A beam is pivotally mounted adjacent the deck section and has a support pin extending therefrom.
