Description: |
| In 1964 Fairbanks, Morse Inc. changed its name to Colt Industries.
Abstract:
A weighing scale of the type utilizing a lever assembly to transfer a load from a weighing platform to a weight indicator by way of a suspension assembly interconnecting a platform load-transmitting beam to a lever of the lever assembly, with a suspension system having a pair of parallel rocker pins extending between the platform and a bearing member resting on a lever load pivot. The rocker pins have top ends which pivotally connect with the platform, and the pins extend downwardly to pivotally contact a pivot bearing member at their lower ends, so that the rocker pins move to accommodate any horizontal movement of the platform and isolate platform movement from the supporting bearing member. The rocker pins move, with respect to the bearing member, when the platform moves horizontally and the suspension assembly is designed so that those pins will abut the bearing member to control platform horizontal motion. |
