Patent ID: 7658115

Claim:
A measuring transducer of the vibration-type for a medium flowing in a pipeline, said the measuring transducer comprising: a measuring tube vibrating, at least at times, and serving for conveying medium to be measured, said measuring tube showing an inlet-side and an outlet-side; a counteroscillator affixed on said inlet-side of said measuring tube, to form a first coupling zone, and on said outlet-side of said measuring tube, to form a second coupling zone; an exciter mechanism, for driving at least said measuring tube; a sensor arrangement for registering oscillations at least of said measuring tube; and a first spring element and a second spring element, wherein: said measuring tube executes during operation, at least at times and/or at least in part, bending oscillations about an imaginary bending oscillation axis imaginarily connecting the two coupling zones together; and each of said at least two spring elements is affixed to said measuring tube and said counteroscillator spaced both from each of said two coupling zones as well as also from said exciter mechanism.
