Abstract
A load cell for an electronic scale, which is capable of providing both load support and load measurement in a planar member. This is accomplished by configuring the load cell as a substantially flat circular plate having an E-shaped deflectable member defined therein. The E-shaped member includes three beams, at least one of which includes a sensor arrangement that responds to a load applied to the deflectable member by generating an electrical signal that is indicative of the load applied to the E-shaped member.
