Load Cell for Sensing Supporting Forces in a Support Element
First Claim
1. A load cell for detecting the supporting force transmitted by a load-bearing support element, the load cell forming a measuring portion of the support element and comprising:
- a plurality of thin-film resistors, arranged at the measuring portion, for indicating a reaction proportional to strain, wherein reactions proportional to transverse forces of which cancel each other, andwherein the measuring portion deforms under the supporting force and transverse forces in a direction deviating from the supporting force.

Abstract
A load cell for detecting the supporting force transmitted by a load-bearing support element is provided. The load cell forms a measuring portion of the support element, which deforms under the supporting force and transverse forces in a direction deviating from the supporting force to form part of the support element with the same. A plurality of thin-film resistors are arranged at the measuring portion, and exhibit a reaction proportional to strain and whose reactions proportional to transverse forces cancel each other.
