PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Suspended Weighing Machine with Steelyard and Closed".
Wrought-iron Shell.
HERMANN MOHR of 7, Friedrichsfelder Strasse, Mannheim a/ Rhine, Germany,
Machine Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1. is the front
view and Fig. 2. the plan of the machine.
The round box-shaped shell is slung in the hook of a crane by its fixed eye o,
while the load to be weighed is taken up by the lower hook which is attached to-
the suspender of a balance in the interior of the shell.
The transmission levers, which are constructed in the usual manner, shift the
weight of the load to the scale-beam a. The slider b. is formed in front like a.
straightedge c. and has notches at a fixed distance apart on its underside, which fall
into a knife-edge d. fastened on the beam a, according to the load.
In this manner the weigher is almost in equilibrium, so that a sliding bolt at
the side of the beam simply serves to compensate small fractional quantities of
the load.
On the straightedge c. and the sliding bolt r. there are scales on which the weight
of the load can be read off.
The slider and sliding bolt are led in a guide which is attached to the beam a.
All the parts of the weigher are enclosed in the shell and are thus protected against
the influence of weather and moisture.
Not until the operation of weighing is to take place, is the small lateral door t..
opened, and the slider and sliding bolt are then drawn more or less out of the shell
according to the weight of the suspended load.
As may be understood from the foregoing, the slider and the sliding bolt are easily
accessible. The management of the weigher is simple and it is easy to read off the
weight on the scales since the latter are exposed to a full light.
The bolt i., the middle portion of which is turned excentrically and provided
with a hand-lever e, serves to lift off the scales of the suspender g. from their
knife-edges k., when the weigher is slung in the crane, but not for weighing
purposes.
By turning the lever e. to the right or left, the weigher is either unloaded or put
in readiness for weighing.

I, HERMANN MOHR of 7, Friedrichsfelder Strasse Mannheim on the Rhine,
Germany, Machine Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
In order to render a description of my improved suspended weighing machine
..

page_text: easily understood, I have made two drawings (on one sheet) which I have left with
my
Provisional Specification and which I now refer to (Fig. 1. sectional elevation;
Fig. 2. sectional plan).
The round box-shaped shell is slung in the hook of a crane by its fixed eye o,
while the load to be weighed is taken up by the lower hook which is attached to
the suspender of a balance in the interior of the shell. The transmission levers,
which are constructed in the usual manner, shift the weight of the load to the
scale-beam a. The slider b is formed in front like a straightedge c and has notches
at a fixed distance apart on its underside which fall into a knife-edge d fastened on
the beam a, according to the load.
In this manner the weigher is almost in equilibrium, so that a sliding bolt
at the side of the beam simply serves to compensate small fractional quantities of
the load.
On the straightedge c and the sliding bolt r there are scales on which the weight
of the load can be read off. The slider & sliding bolt are led in a guide which is
attached to the beam a.
All the parts of the weigher are enclosed in the shell and are thus protected
against the influence of weather and moisture.
Not until the operation of weighing is to take place, is the small lateral door t
opened, and the slider and sliding bolt are then drawn more or less out of the shell
according to the weight of the suspended load.
As may be understood from the foregoing, the slider and the sliding bolt are
easily accessible. The management of the weigher is simple and it is easy to read
off the weight on the scales since the latter are exposed to a full light. The bolt i,
the middle portion of which is turned excentrically and provided with a hand-
lever e, serves to lift off the scales of the suspender g from their knife-edges K,
when the weigher is slung in the crane, but not for weighing purposes. By turning
the lever e to the right or left, the weigher is either unloaded or put in readiness
for weighing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A suspended sliding-weight weighing machine with a round shell which can
be completely closed.
2. An arrangement for unloading and
