Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005036117A1] The invention relates to a force-sensing device for measuring a force that is applied to the force introduction point of the force-sensing device from a pre-determined direction. In order to measure the force, a pair of double flexible bars are used to guide the force introduction point in a parallel manner, under the influence of the force to be measured. Furthermore, according to the invention, the force introduction site is also guided in a parallel manner, in a direction that is transversal to the direction of the force to be measured, by means of at least one other pair of parallel spiral springs.
