MONOLITHIC FLEXIBLE JOINT ASSEMBLY, AND BOTTOM-LOADING BALANCE
A monolithic flexure joint arrangement includes a main body (12) through which a first channel pair (24-1) and a second channel pair (24-2) pass. The channel pairs are aligned mutually perpendicular in a radial plane and both intersect with a central axis normal to the radial plane in the center of the main body. Each channel pair has two individual through channels aligned mutually parallel, which are arranged with convexly curved channel wall portions facing one another and adjoining one another such that webs extending between the curved channel wall portions commonly form a flexure joint (22). A central piece (16) of the main body is pivotably articulated to an input piece (18) with a first flexure joint (22-1) formed between the through-channels of the first channel pair as well as to an output piece (20) with a second flexure joint (22-2) formed between the through-channels of the second channel pair.

WEIGHING DEVICE
A weighing device includes a bearing plate and at least three weighing units distributed at non-linear intervals on a lower plate surface of the bearing plate. The at least three weighing units stably support the bearing plate. A central portion of the bearing plate is oriented downwards. The central portion forms a load region for carrying a load. Flanges are formed on the ends of the central portion, with the flanges being configured to be attached to the weighing units. Under maximum load, the lower plate surface of the load region is not lower than the contact points of the weighing units with the ground surface.
