Abstract
Improved force measuring apparatus of the one- or two- string type, including means for applying to the movable member of the apparatus a corrective force that compensates for nonlinearities in the response of the apparatus over the full range of travel of the pan carrier member between the no-load and full-load positions, thereby to produce a linear variation in the resulting oscillation frequency with respect to load. In the one-string embodiment, linearization means are provided for applying to the oscillatory string means a corrective force that varies quadratically with the displacement of the movable member over its full range between the no-load and full-load positions. In the two-string embodiment, decoupling spring means are provided for independently connecting the two strings in opposite senses between the frame and pan carrier members. The aforementioned linearization means and/or temperature compensation means are also provided for improving the operation of the two-string embodiment.
