Abstract: 2240. Nilson, N. Jan. 29. Unequal-armed balances; vibration, neutralizing ; indicating-mechanism; bearings.-The load on the ,pan 8, Fig. 1, raises a rod 38 acting on a rocker 23, Fig. 3, which is supported by a yoke 22 from a link 20. A second rocker 24 rests on the first, and is attached to a casting 32 which is connected to an arm 33, bearing the weight 34, and to a yoke piece 27 which is pivoted at 30 to the framing. Bars 25 26, with serrated edges, prevent longitudinal movement of the rockers. The Specification states that by arranging the thrust of the load so as to act between the weight and the fulcrum, the equilibrium is more quickly obtained. For weighing light articles, a pan 54, suitably tared, is added and indication obtained by a hand 45 and scale 19. The scale 19 reads in an opposite direction to the ordinary scale 18 which is traversed by a hand 44. The hands are operated by rack-and-pinion gearing 47, 46, the rack being kept in position by a weight 50. A spring 48 steadies the rack and therefore also the pointers. For weighing beyond the range of the scale 18, weights 53 are employed. Ball bearings are used at 30, 31 ; and for lessening the oscillation they are used also for the link 12.
