Abstract: A conveying section is engaged with works to be weighed to sequentially convey the works at predetermined intervals along a substantially arcuated path. An engagement releasing section sequentially releases engagement between the conveying section and one of the works at a predetermined region substantially equal to one of the predetermined intervals of convey midway along the arcuated path of the conveying section. A conveyor section is linearly arranged to oppose the predetermined region on the arcuated path on which engagement between the conveying section and the one of the works is released by the engagement releasing section. The conveyor section linearly and sequentially conveys the one of the works released from the conveying section. A weighing section sequentially measures weight of the one of the works while the one the works released from the conveying section is linearly conveyed by the conveyor section.

Abstract: A weighing scale includes a hollow casing having a lower base and an upper covering for support an object. A pressure gauge mounted to the base includes an indicator, and a hydraulic pressure sensor connected to the indicator and actuating it in response to a sensed pressure produced by the weight of the object. Four spaced fulcrum posts are mounted to the base. A lever mechanism includes a rear one-piece rod and a pair of spaced front rods respectively and pivotably mounted to the four fulcrum posts. The rear one-piece rod includes a force exerting plate resting on the hydraulic pressure sensor. A transmitting frame provided between the covering and the lever mechanism includes a pair of spaced rods and a connecting rod mounted between the spaced rods which are pivotably mounted to the lever mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a signal, dependent on the weight of an object, is provided for an air-suspended vehicle. Control processes of the air-suspended vehicle with automatic levelling control unit correct road conditions, such as, for example, curve inclinations, influencing the suspended weight. According to conventional apparatuses, the suspended weight is determined by the measurement of the pressure in the air suspension. This requires additional measurement and signal transfer means. The invention apparatus is to generate a signal corresponding to the suspended weight under use of the distance values stored in the automatic levelling control unit. The automatic levelling control unit (8) is structured such that it generates during automatic control an additional signal, dependent on the temporary change of the distance value. The additional signal serves as the signal dependent on the suspended weight.

Abstract: A transfer-type electrothermographic recording method is disclosed, which comprises the steps of uniformly charging an electrothermographic recording layer to a predetermined polarity, which exhibits chargeability A at room temperature and chargeability B above room temperature, where the chargeabilities A and B are in the relationship of A>B.gtoreq.0; forming a latent electrostatic image on the charged surface of the electrothermographic recording layer by applying thermal signals which correspond to an original image to the side opposite the charged surface of the electrothermographic recording layer; and developing the latent electrostatic image with a toner of which polarity is the same as or opposite to the polarity of the latent electrostatic image to form a toner image. This transfer-type electrothermographic recording method may further comprise a step of transferring the toner image to a receiving medium; and a step of fixing the toner image transferred onto the receiving medium.
