Abstract: An apparatus for electromechanical measurement of forces for weighing is provided. There is a mechanism for measuring the load, which has two parallel end planes. In contact with each end plane is a respective load transmitting unit having two curved surface portions one on each side of a plane parallel to the end planes. The transmitting units both have a longitudinal axis parallel to the end planes and perpendicular to each other. All points on each curved surface portion are the same distance R away from an axis parallel to the end planes, R being greater than half the height of the transmitting unit in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Movement of the measuring mechanism is restricted in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis which is perpendicular to the end planes. One curved portion of each transmitting unit contacts an end plane of the measuring mechanism, and the other curved portion of each transmitting unit contacts the opposing end plane.

Abstract: Weighing device for belt conveyors with individually adjustable reels for universal adaptation to different conveyors.The device is characterized in that the weighing device reels are located in enclosing frames (8,9 and 10,11,12), that the frames of the lateral reels at the inner ends are attached (15) to the frame of the central reel, so that they are adjustable to different troughing angles of the conveyor belts. The angle of rotation is adjusted in that the frames of the lateral reels are extended (17) inward to the center of the weighing device, and at the ends an adjusting screw device (18) is located. The load measuring device consists of parallel springs for carrying and guiding the weighing reel stand, and the load measured is taken up by a load measuring transducer of electromechanical type.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for supporting the load or the load carrier of an electromechanical scale via at least three load transferring points, and for combining the partial loads of the points for superimposing their actions utilizing a central measuring body. The measuring body has an elongated shape and is at each end provided with rigidly connected transversally directed substantially parallel arms in two pairs of arms. Two of the arms, at each end of the measuring body, are each one provided with a supporting device operationally resting against a bed of the scale, and the two other arms, at each end of the measuring body, are each one provided with a supporting device carrying the load or the load carrier. The supporting devices include bars running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the measuring body, the bars forming load transferring points. The action of the load on the measuring body is of a torsional nature and is so dimensioned that it is electrically measurable.

Abstract: The invention deals with a weigh-bridge of platform type resting on load measuring points also serving as support points for the load. The weigh-bridge of the invention eliminates the effect of disturbing lateral load forces and torques. The weigh-bridge is composed of at least two parts being mutually joined by means of flexurally weak elements in the direction of the load. The load receiving support points are located at the ends of adjacent sides of platform parts. The flexurally weak elements are arranged to transfer the load between two adjacent platform parts. All support points are located for supporting each platform part by three points of support.
