Patent ID: 7992452

Claim:
A measuring transducer of the vibration type, for registering, on the basis of the Coriolis principle, at least one measured variable of a medium flowing through a pipeline, said measuring transducer comprising: a measuring tube, which is connectable with the pipeline via an inlet and an outlet, said measuring tube including a first measuring tube arc, which includes an inlet arc region, and a second measuring tube arc, which includes an outlet arc region, said first and second measuring tube arcs are arranged at last regionally in two planes extending parallel to one another, and said measuring tube including a connecting arc region, provided between said first and second measuring tube arcs, for connecting said first measuring tube arc with said second measuring tube arc, said connecting arc region extends outside of the planes extending parallel to one another; a rigid connecting element rigidly connecting said first and second measuring tube arcs together, said rigid connecting element is rigidly secured to said inlet arc region and to said outlet arc region, and said rigid connecting element is rigidly secured to said connecting arc region; an oscillation exciter for exciting oscillations of said first and second measuring tube arcs; at least one oscillation sensor for registering resulting oscillations of said first and second measuring tube arcs; and a transducer housing surrounding said first and second measuring tube arcs, wherein: said first and second measuring tube arcs are elastically coupled to said transducer housing, and said rigid connecting element is elastically coupled to said transducer housing.
