Abstract
The present invention discloses methods and apparatus to protect a loadcell that is incorporated into a scale or weighing device (including a combinational weigher) during shipment, handling, movement, maintenance or cleaning of the device. The invention protects the loadcell by inserting one or more rods or braces into one or more holes in the beam of the loadcell or by mechanically pinning, grasping, bracing, screwing, or holding the loadcell or the actuator, thus protecting the beam and preventing bending. The invention may protect (and release) the loadcell either automatically or manually.
