Abstract: An electronic balance including a housing (1), a weighing scale (2), a windshield (3), which preferably at least partially surrounds the weighing scale, and a display and operating unit (4) which is connected to the balance housing. The connecting part (5) between the display and operating unit (4) and the housing (1) consists essentially of a material with poor heat conduction properties. At least one vertical radiation protection plate (6) is provided between the display and operating unit (4) and the housing (1), and the connecting part (5) is configured in such a way as to impair air convection on both sides of the radiation protection plate(s) (6) preferably to the least extent possible. This results in excellent thermal decoupling between the display and operating unit (4) and the housing (1).

Abstract: An analytical balance includes a balance housing having a base area and back structure, a balance scale, and a wind guard encircling the balance scale. The wind guard includes a base surface formed by the base area, a back wall formed by the back structure, a fixed front pane, movable side panes, and a movable upper sliding door. The side panes and the upper sliding door can be opened or closed manually or by motor. The fixed front pane has no frame and is fastened to the base area. The side panes are guided on the base area and are secured on the back structure, to prevent tilting. The upper sliding door is guided by at least one sliding guide on the back structure. This configuration provides an open view of the goods being weighed that is essentially unobstructed from all sides, as well as ready access thereto.
