DEVICE FOR MEASURING OVERLOADS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: instrument engineering. SUBSTANCE: device for measuring overloads has hollow housing, and deforming member held inside the housing at stable position owing to brittle, resilient, or stretchable system which interacts with the deformed member. Ring hollows are made in the outer side of the deforming member. The hollows are arranged in series and made as acute angles. The deformed element consists of bushing and flat washer which underlies the bushing and is arranged coaxially to the bushing and housing. Axial through opening is made in the housing bottom.
