Abstract
A scale includes a movable platform which is supported by a plurality of improved force transmitting assemblies. Upon sideways movement of the platform, the force transmitting assemblies and platform interact to align the force transmitting assemblies and to center the platform. Each force transmitting assembly includes a slider which is movable along a base surface. A rocker pin transmits force between the slider and a load cell beam which is connected with the platform. When the platform is moved sideways relative to the base, the rocker pin is tilted to a maximum offset position in which horizontally offset vertical force components are applied to the rocker pin. In accordance with the present invention, stop surfaces on the slider and load cell beam are disposed in abutting engagement when the rocker pin is in a maximum offset position.
