Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a clamping-type tensile force measurement device configured to clamp a belt being used to lash a cargo and to measure a tensile force of the belt. The measurement device includes: a base having a pair of support rollers which are rotatable; and a lid connected to the base via a hinge portion such that the base and the lid form a foldable structure. A load cell is installed in a backside portion of the lid. A pressing plate having a pressing portion positioned to face a space between the pair of support rollers is provided on a backside of the lid.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A clamping-type tensile force measurement device for clamping a belt being used to lash a cargo and measuring tensile force of the belt, the measurement device comprising: a base having a pair of support rollers which are rotatable; a lid connected to the base via a hinge portion such that the base and the lid form a foldable structure; a load cell installed in a plate-housing recess of a backside portion of the lid; and a pressing plate having a plate shape, provided in the plate-housing recess of the backside portion of the lid to cover the load cell, having a pressing portion positioned to face a space between the pair of support rollers, and able to press the load cell, wherein the measurement device is capable of holding the belt clamped between the pair of support rollers and the pressing portion. 2. A clamping-type tensile force measurement device for clamping a belt being used to lash a cargo and measuring tensile force of the belt, the measurement device comprising: a base having a pair of support rollers which are rotatable; a lid connected to the base via a hinge portion such that the base and the lid form a foldable structure; a load cell installed in a backside portion of the lid; and a pressing plate provided on a backside of the lid, having a pressing portion positioned to face a space between the pair of support rollers, and able to press the load cell, wherein the measurement device is capable of holding the belt clamped between the pair of support rollers and the pressing portion, the lid has a plurality of bosses standing on the lid and surrounding the load cell, the pressing plate has a plurality of through-holes or notches which the bosses penetrate, and each of the bosses is provided with an elastic member which presses the pressing plate toward the load cell. 3. A clamping-type tensile force measurement device for clamping a belt being used to lash a cargo and measuring tensile force of the belt, the measurement device comprising: a base having a pair of support rollers which are rotatable; a lid connected to the base via a hinge portion such that the base and the lid form a foldable structure; a load cell installed in a backside portion of the lid; and a pressing plate provided on a backside of the lid, having a pressing portion positioned to face a space between the pair of support rollers, and able to press the load cell, wherein the measurement device is capable of holding the belt clamped between the pair of support rollers and the pressing portion, and a shim is interposed between the pressing plate and the load cell or between the lid and the load cell, thereby enabling measurement of the tensile force of different types of belts having different thicknesses. 4. The clamping-type tensile force measurement device of claim 2 , wherein a shim is interposed between the pressing plate and the load cell or between the lid and the load cell, thereby enabling measurement of the tensile force of different types of belts having different thicknesses.
