Patent ID: 7325461

Claim:
A measurement transducer of a vibration-type for measuring a flowable medium conveyed in a pipeline, comprising: at least two oscillatably held, transducer tubes vibrating, at least at times, during operation, of which at least a first transducer tube, serving for conveying at least a volume portion of the medium to be measured, communicates with the pipeline; and at least a first transducer element for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy and/or vice versa; wherein: said at leaste two oscillatably held transducer tubes are mechanically coupled together by means of at least a first, inlet-side, coupling element and by means of at least a first, outlet-side, coupling element in such a manner that both said first, inlet-side, coupling element, as well as said first, outlet-side, coupling element, are repeatedly subjected during operation to deformations which correspond with vibrations at least of one of said at least two oscillatably held transducer tubes; and said at least a first transducer element and said at least one of the coupling elements are at least mediately coupled mechanically together in such a manner that said at least a transducer element executes, at least in part, oscillatory movements which correspond with the repeated deformations at least of said coupling element.
