Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to suspension devices and methods, and in particular to structures for mounting force-versus-displacement sensors, whereby external stress sources are isolated from active sensor components. An apparatus and method for suspending and strain isolating a structure is provided, the apparatus having a first elongated flexure having first and second ends structured for connection to a support structure, and a second elongated flexure having first and second ends structured for connection to a structure to be isolated from the support structure. A portion of the second flexure intermediate the first and second ends thereof is interconnected to a portion of the first flexure intermediate the first and second ends thereof.
