Abstract:
A device for determining the position of the center of gravity of a test-body comprising a test-body horizontal receiving plate disposed on at least two weighing systems, a horizontal support plate interposed between said test-body horizontal receiving plate and said weighing systems, at least two horizontally displaced downwardly depending support means affixed to the underside of said horizontal support plate, a said weighing system attached to each of said downwardly depending support means in a horizontally thrusting cantilevered position, at least two vertical coupling rods, each of said vertical coupling rods having an upper end portion internally attached to a first cavity receiving means at the underside of said test-body horizontal receiving plate, each of said vertical coupling rods having a lower end portion internally attached to a second cavity receiving means of the cantilevered portion of a weighing system, said horizontal support plate having at least two bores therethrough through which said vertical coupling rods extend respectively, each of said vertical coupling rods having relatively thinner portions at each upper end portion and at each lower end portion.
