Load-detecting device
First Claim
1. A load-detecting device comprising:
- a supporting member;
a load transfer member supported by the supporting member so as to include an elastic displacement area in which an elastic displacement is generated upon application of a force from a predetermined direction;
a load sensor provided in contact with the elastic displacement area of the load transfer member, the load sensor detecting a load based on the elastic displacement; and
a load sensor supporting member for supporting the load sensor, the load sensor supporting member being in connection with the supporting member, whereinthe load transfer member, the load sensor, and the load sensor supporting member are provided in this order along the predetermined direction, whereinthe supporting member is provided so as not to be in contact with the load sensor, andthe load transfer member has a lower stiffness in the predetermined direction than the load sensor.

Abstract
A load-detecting device includes a supporting member, a load transfer member, a load sensor, and a load sensor supporting member. The load transfer member is supported by the supporting member and includes an elastic displacement area in which an elastic displacement is generated upon receiving a force from a predetermined direction. The load sensor contacts the elastic displacement area of the load transfer member. The load sensor detects a load based on the elastic displacement. The load sensor supporting member supports the load sensor and is connected to the supporting member. The load transfer member, the load sensor, and the load sensor supporting member are provided in this order along the predetermined direction. The supporting member is provided so as not to be in contact with the load sensor. The load transfer member has a lower stiffness in the predetermined direction than the load sensor.
