Title: Improvements in weighing scales
IPC: G01G1/00
Filed: 1919-12-10
Abstract: 159,067. Avery, Ltd., W. & T., and Timson, W. Dec. 10, 1919. Counter-scales; pendulum-weight apparatus; vibration, preventing and neutralizing.-In an automatic or semi-automatic weighing-scale wherein the weight is determined by means of a pendulum or by a pendulum and loose weights, shock to the sensitive parts of the machine is avoided by employing a two-part lever the two parts of the lever bsing normally engaged by a connection which is automatically broken if a. load is violently applied. A loose-motion device prevents shock if the load is suddenly removed. The presence of a load on the goods pan causes the scale beam to pull down a double shackle 15 suspended from the outer part 13 of the two-part lever 13, 14 fulcrumed on a knife-edge 10. The inner part 14 of the lever is fulcrumed on a cylindrical portion 10<a> of the knife-edge 10 and carries a rod 11 coupled to the usual indicating pointer 7. A pin 18 on the inner part 14 contacts with the under surface of the outer part 13. When a load is violently applied to the machine the part 13 moves into the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3, and is followed more slowly by the parts 14, 11, 7 moving under the influence of a pendulum weight 8, until arrested by contact of the pin 18 with the part 13. Loose movement between the two parts of the shackle 15 prevents shock to the indicating-mechanism if the load is suddenly removed. A dash-pot 21 is connected to the lever 14.

[Class 113 (i).] An eccentric device operated by a bail or handle for moving the pivotpiece of a pivoted glass holder to and from its seating on the fixed frame is combined with a screw - device for pressing the glass holder firmly on its seating when closed. A rotatable member 6 mounted in a watertight bearing 8 between the fixed frame 1 and an inner casing carries a crank pin 10 which works in a slot in a piece 12 having a stud 7 which serves as pivot for the glass holder 5. Rotation of the member 6 by the bail 4 causes the glass holder to be moved parallel towards and away from the seating 2 on the fixed frame and, in the latter position, it is free to be turned on its pivots and in the former position it may be pressed against the seating by a worm 15, which either engages with a partial screw formed on the periphery of the disc 13 keyed on the shank of the member 6 or engages in a circumferential groove in the disc.

The member 32 has an enlarged upper end portion 32a adjacent an integral flange 37. Slots 38 are formed in the flange end portion 32a. In operation, on impact, liquid passes down the slots 38 and opening 29 and lifts the valve 33 to flow with damping action into the reservoir 18, the valve 34 being maintained closed. On recoil, flow from the reservoir to the cylinder takes place freely through the openings 30 and bodily 'lifts the valve 34 and member 32 against the spring 40.
