Abstract: A combination measuring apparatus including a plurality of heads provided on a machine frame. The discharge plates of the pool hoppers provided in these heads are opened and closed to throw a predetermined material to be measured into the measuring hoppers provided on the lower side of the pool hoppers. The weight of the material in each measuring hopper is measured with a weight-measuring device, such as a load cell. A combination of measuring hoppers, the weight of the material in which is the closest to a target weight set by the combination computation of the detected weights in all of the heads, are determined. The discharge plates of the selected measuring hoppers are opened to discharge the material therefrom, and supply the material to a subsequent stage, for example, a stage provided with a packaging machine.

Abstract: The invention of this application relates to a combination measuring apparatus which includes a cone-shaped dispersion table positioned below a feed port into which the commercial products which are the objects being measured are charged; pool hoppers and measuring hoppers disposed vertically as a predetermined number of units and connected to troughs which are disposed around the dispersion table via an electromagnetic oscillator or the like, whereby the measuring hoppers are supported by weight detectors such as load cells; and push rods for lid operation links, being moved back and forth by a driving device disposed inside the group of pool and measuring hoppers so that the object to be measured can flow and be measured.
