Patent ID: 7121151

Claim:
A vibration-type sensor, especially for producing mass-flow-dependent, Coriolis forces, and/or viscosity-dependent frictional forces, in flowing fluids, comprising: at least one measuring tube for guiding a fluid, said measuring tube having an inlet end and an outlet end, and vibrating at least at times, said measuring tube communicating by way of a first tube segment leading into the inlet end and a second tube segment leading into the outlet end, with a pipeline connected for allowing the fluid to flow through said measuring tube, and during operation executes mechanical oscillations about an oscillation axis imaginarily connecting the two tube segments; and a support for the oscillation-permitting holding of said measuring tube, which support is secured to said first tube segment by means of a first transition piece and to said second tube segment by means of a second transition piece, wherein: at least one of said two transition pieces has a stop with a first stop-edge partially contacting the associated tube segment, respectively, and extending at least sectionally in the direction of said oscillation axis.
