1. A load cell weighing apparatus, comprising:
- a base;
a load cell having one end secured to said base;
a receiving member secured to the other end of said cell;
a load supporting member movable with respect to said base and said receiving member, wherein a load to be weighed is applied to the load supporting member;
elastically deforming means provided between and directly contacting said load supporting member and said receiving member for directly transmitting the load applied to said load supporting member to said receiving member; and
a stopper formed by an elongated portion secured to said load supporting member and having its direction of elongation extending from said load supporting member toward said base, wherein said stopper coooperates with said base to define a full stroke of movement of said load supporting member and avoids destructive deformation of said load cell by the load applied to said load supporting member.
