Abstract: In an analytical balance with a pan and a four-bar mechanism which keeps the balance pan parallel horizontally during its vertical travel, the one vertical side of which is held fast to the housing, the other vertical side of which, in the form of a coupling piece, carries an extension which receives the pan, and both horizontal sides of which are connected in an articulated manner by an upper and a lower rod to the vertical sides, whereby the four-bar mechanism is loaded by the restoring force of a load converter, the extension (16) which receives the pan (17) is L-shaped, the horizontal L-shank (pan arm) (16") carries the pan (17) rigidly connected to its free end and the vertical L-shank (bearing arm) (16') is mounted on the bar (18'") of a U-shaped arm bearing (18) which projects above and below over the vertically movable end (9) of the four-bar mechanism (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) with its two horizontal U-shanks (18, 18") in the rod planes and is rigidly fastened to it in two vertically superposed bearings (118')

Abstract: The present invention provides a hand grip which makes it possible to hold a camera by the grip fixed under the camera body or by the grip disposed to the left or right alongside the camera body. A release button which is disposed on the grip and by which the camera shutter is usually triggered, is fully capable of functioning in all possible positions of the grip. It always lies on the front of the grip and can be operated in the customary manner with the index finger. A connecting member is used between the hand grip and the camera. This connecting member may be a supporting plate with attachment bolt for connection to the grip itself. Or by constructing the connecting member as a T-shaped side holder, the hand grip can be optionally located on the left or right side of the camera body.
