Abstract
The base of a weigh scale includes openings in the bottom thereof at each corner. The base is raised above a supporting surface by way of rigid foot members aligned with the openings in the corners of the base. Load cells in the form of deflection beams each having one of their ends fixed to the base while their other end contacts upper surfaces of their respective foot members. Damage to the load cells by side shock loads is eliminated by way of resilient coupling members connected between the foot members and the base.
