Abstract
A shock load absorbing load cell with relatively longitudinally movable structural members interconnected by a plurality of shear load elastomeric segments, each having spaced plates bonded to opposite surfaces of an intervening flexible molded block of elastomeric material. Molded shape memory of the elastomeric material blocks resiliently urges the spaced plates back to their original position after they have been displaced in absorbing a shock load.
