A weighing device () has a base body (), a weighing chamber floor (), a weighing chamber rear wall (), and a draft shield (). The draft shield has a top wall (), a first side wall (L), a second side wall (R), and a front wall (). The weighing chamber floor, the weighing chamber rear wall, and the draft shield act together to enclose a weighing chamber (W). The weighing chamber rear wall has a first side () facing the draft shield and a second side (), opposite the first side. A mounting unit () is movably connected to the first side of the weighing chamber rear wall and a position control unit () is operatively connected thereto, on the second side of the weighing chamber rear wall. An elongate slot () that passes through the rear wall receives the mounting unit about the first side and guides the mounting unit in a direction normal to the base body.

Weighing device with a movable mounting unit

A balance () has a mounting unit () movably connected to a first side () of a rear wall () of a weighing chamber. The mounting unit is above a top wall () of the weighing chamber. An elongate slot () extends from the first side through a second side () and receives the mounting unit and the top wall. The elongate slot guides the mounting unit and the top wall in a direction normal to a base body () of the balance. A position control unit (), on the second side, has lower and upper carriages (). The upper carriage is connected to the mounting unit and the lower carriage is connected to the top wall. A stopper () limits the lower carriage at a predetermined position away from the base body, while allowing the upper carriage to advance therebeyond, separating the mounting unit from the top wall.
