Patent ID: 7509879

Claim:
A Measurement pickup of vibration-type, comprising: at least one measuring tube for the conveying of a fluid, said measuring tube showing an inlet end and an outlet end and vibrating at least at times, said measuring tube communicates, via a first tube segment opening into said inlet end and via a second tube segment opening into said outlet end, with a pipeline connected therewith, said measuring tube executes mechanical oscillations about an imaginary oscillation axis connecting said two pipe segments; and a support element for oscillatable holding of said measuring tube, said support element showing a first end piece containing a passageway for the securement of said first tube segment and a second end piece containing a passageway for the securement of said second tube segment wherein: each of said two tube segments extends through its respective one of the two passageways and each of the two passageways shows an inner diameter, which is greater than an outer diameter of its associated tube segment, so that an intermediate space is formed between each of the associated tube segments and end pieces, at least one of said two tube segments carries at least one, first spring element, and said first spring element is arranged in the intermediate space in such a manner that it contacts both its associated tube segment and also its associated end piece in such a manner that it is subjected to radially acting, deformation forces and, as a result of elastic deformations accompanying such, is held pressed against the associated tube segment and the associated end piece.
