MEASURING DEVICE FOR POSITION OF CENTER OF GRAVITY

PURPOSE:To hold an object to be measured stably and obtain the position of the center of gravity two-dimensionally independently of the shape of the object to be measured, by providing three, at least, load detecting parts which are installed at intervals of a certain distance. CONSTITUTION:Load cells are used as three load detecting parts 1, 2, and 3 desirably for the purpose of improving the detection precision, and they are brought into contact with an object 7 to be measured at points. A holding jig 6 which is fixed while keeping the interrelation to load detecting parts holds the object 7 in a prescribed position but is not brought into contact with the object 7 for the purpose of improving the measurement precision. Loads detected in load detecting parts are sent to an operating part 4, and the position of the center of gravity operated by an calculating expression is displayed on a display part. Thus, three load detecting parts are provided to hold stably the object to be measured, and the two-dimensional position of the center of gravity is obtained.
