Load sensor, e.g. for sensing a vehicle draft load

An open frame (10) consists of two limbs with parallel central portions (18 and 20). The limbs are joined at their ends for attachment in a hitch to measure a draft load, which pulls the central portions (18 and 20) slightly together. This movement is measured by an inductive transducer (26) fitted...

Zusammenfassung:	An open frame (10) consists of two limbs with parallel central portions (18 and 20). The limbs are joined at their ends for attachment in a hitch to measure a draft load, which pulls the central portions (18 and 20) slightly together. This movement is measured by an inductive transducer (26) fitted between the limbs. The transducer comprises a base (28) and a cap (36) carrying the transducer coils (54) and slidable core (56) respectively. To facilitate mounting and removal, the cap and body can be pressed in together against a spring (62) to engage or disengage end projections (30 and 51) in holes (24 and 22) in the two limb portions (18 and 20) respectively. portions (18 and 20) respectively.
