Abstract: In an electromechanical weigher to be used in areas subject to explosion hazards, the electronic indicator ledge and the weigher apparatus or weighing system is constructed explosion proof in an intrinsically safe manner, and the power supply in the case is on all sides partitioned by means of bulkheads, and the free space enveloping these constituents is filled with an explosion-impeding granulate e.g. of quartz. For the use as dosing weigher for prescription weighings in such areas subject to explosion hazards, the indicator ledge is constructed by means of a hollow support engaging the case above the weigher dish and above a tare vessel of the usual height to be put on the weigher dish, as horizontal indicator constituent running approximately parallel to the weigher back, and the indicator constituent is tiltable at the support about a horizontal shaft in which structure the electric supply lines are passed from the indicator edge through the hollow support, into the inside of the case.

Abstract: An electronic weighing apparatus having a load pan, a load receiver forming part of a parallel construction and supporting the pan, weight compensating means, and at least one force-transmitting lever having a short arm and a longer arm, connected at its short arm to take up the force transmitted by the load pan, and connected at its longer arm with the weight compensating means, wherein a built-in calibrating device includes a calibrating lever having an arm connected via a coupling element in force transmitting relation with the load receiver such that the force-transmitting connection can be selectively established or broken.

Abstract: A weighing machine with an explosion proof case enclosing the weighing system and having an electric or electronic indicator and a weighing scale for holding the material to be weighed, the case offering a specific resistance to a specific explosion pressure inside the case, whereby the scale may be safely used in an explosive environment without danger of causing an explosion exteriorly of the case due to electric arcing or the like caused by the scale electrical system inside the case.

Abstract: A weighing machine with a function key device and an electronic indicator, wherein the function key device comprises an electrically conductive contact sensor and a micro key device with a movable element arranged behind the contact surface and operatively connected therewith, so that manual pressure on the contact surface can operate the device either by electrical contact with the contact surface or by movement of the micro key device.

Abstract: An electromagnetic force-compensating weigher with a load supporting device resiliently supported by resilient joints and movable between stops, wherein electric circuitry is connected to produce a slowly decaying mechanical oscillation upon the load supporting device, to thereby reduce the spring hysteresis of the resilient joints.

Abstract: Apparatus for overload protection of precision or analysis scales having a parallel-guided load support with limit stops to limit the range of movement thereof, comprises an auxiliary parallel guide connection between the weighing pan and load support, and resiliently yieldable means connected between the weighing pan and load support to yield under excessive or improperly placed loads and thus protect the scale mechanism. The resiliently yieldable means may comprise the auxiliary parallel guide or may comprise a separate means.

Abstract: A flat weighbridge has a load platform supported by either two one-armed or two two-armed levers arranged at least partly beneath the load platform, wherein one lever is bifurcated to define two spread apart sides and each of the sides bears a supporting device for the load platform, while the other lever bears only one supporting device for the load platform.

Abstract: An overload protection device for a top pan precision scale having a weighing pan support and a support plate carried by a load support mounted for limited movement and connected to an indicator, includes a spring engaged between the weighing pan support and the support plate whereby the weighing pan support is resiliently coupled to the load support, and a plurality of overlapping elements carried by the weighing pan support and extending beyond the outer peripheral edge of the support plate in close proximity thereto so that the weighing pan support and support plate are held in assembled relationship against the bias of the spring by the overlapping elements at the outer peripheral edge of the support plate, whereby upon eccentric loading of the scale, the pivot point of the weighing pan support is extended to the side of the weighing pan support opposite the load, and the lever translation thus effected results in a lower load on the load support than the highest available load.
