  • Patent number: 7432457
    Abstract: A mounting kit for a weighing cell includes a lower mounting plate, an upper mounting plate, two pressure pieces for receiving a weighing cell and at least one safety element forming an integrated fall-arresting, lifting or limiting safeguard. The safety element (6) has a connecting element and a stop element, and the connecting element and stop element are in positive engagement with one another. The connecting element and the upper pressure piece are connected to the upper mounting plate by adhesive force and the stop element and the lower pressure piece are connected to the lower mounting plate by adhesive force.

  • Patent number: 7319198
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housingless load cell whose resistance and measuring accuracy can be improved with respect to environmental influences such that at least the predominant part of the surface (12) and/or the surface (14) has a transversal path, such that water hitting the body of the load cell (1) can flow off when the load cell is in a built-in state. The angle ?1 between the transversally extending part of the surface (12) and the perpendicular peripheral surface of the body (3) and/or the angle ?2 between the transversally extending part of the surface (14) and the peripheral surface of the leg (4) is respectively greater than 90° and is, more particularly between 93°- 120°. A housingless load cell comprising a compensation electronics system is provided in one of the transversal holes (7).

  • Publication number: 20070007049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a non-encased weighing cell which with a view to resistance to environmental influences and high measuring accuracy has been improved to the effect that at least the predominant part of the surface (12) and/or of the surface (14) is inclined such that in the installed state, as intended, of the weighing cell any water hitting the weighing-cell body (1) can flow away, wherein the angle ?1 between the inclined part of the surface (12) and the perpendicular circumferential surface of the trunk (3) and/or the angle ?2 between the inclined part of the surface (14) and the circumferential surface of the foot (4) is larger than 90°, and in particular is between 93° and 120°. Furthermore, a non-encased weighing cell is stated in which the balancing electronics are provided in one of the transverse holes (7).
