DYNAMOTRANSDUCER Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering; devices designed for studying assymetry of hand force. SUBSTANCE: dynamotransducer incorporates first mechanical unit which includes rigidly interconnected by central portions handrest and flat spring whose both ends are pinched in housing, second mechanical unit similar in design to first one, and strain gages which are connected-in-series resistance strain gages positioned on urfaces of each flat spring on opposite sides from their axes of symmetry formed by projection of relatively perpendicular planes going through axis of application of force. Strain gages of first and second flat springs are cut into adjacent arms of electric bridge whose diagonally opposite pairs of measuring junctions make up dynamotransducer output. EFFECT: more sophisticated design. 3 dwg
