Patents by Inventor T. August Wernimont

T. August Wernimont has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Electronic weighing structure
    Patent number: 4949799
    Abstract: A method of constructing a three(3) load cell weighing appartus using four(4) strain gages is disclosed. The method is then expanded to show how eight(8) or more load cells could be incorporated into a single weighing platform.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 1989
    Date of Patent: August 21, 1990
    Inventor: T. August Wernimont
  • Weighing structure with variable moment load cells
    Patent number: 4666006
    Abstract: Multiple methods of constructing weighing platforms using variable moment load cells are disclosed. Variable moment load cells require only a single strain gage and typically four (4) are used on a weighing platform. The output of the four (4) load cells are matched by mechanically varying the bending strain detected by the strain gages.A method of constructing a load cell to weigh suspended hoppers with a minimum of vertical space is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 1986
    Date of Patent: May 19, 1987
    Inventor: T. August Wernimont
  • Multiple load cell weighing structure
    Patent number: 4597460
    Abstract: A weighing structure using four (4) strain gage-type load cells, which significantly reduces the complexity of existing four (4) load cell weighing structures, is provided. A novel method of constructing and electrically connecting the load cells is provided to mechanically match the output of the individual load cells.
