A balance includes a weighing compartment and a balance housing containing a weighing cell, wherein the balance housing forms a rear wall and a floor of the weighing compartment. A weighing-load carrier is coupled to a coupling arrangement extending through passage openings formed at the rear wall. The weighing-load carrier that is configured as a level grate. The floor extends without openings below the weighing-load carrier.

Balance with a weighing-load carrier

A balance ( ) has a weighing compartment ( ) that borders on a stationary part ( ) of the balance and is otherwise enclosed by at least one side wall panel ( ), a front wall panel ( ), and a top cover panel ( ). At least one of the side wall and top cover panels is slidable by means of a guiding device ( ) to open and close the weighing compartment ( ). A holder arrangement ( ) for the at least one slidable panel ( ) is integrated in the guiding device ( ), and a holder arrangement for a non-slidable panel is integrated in the stationary part ( ). The holder arrangements ( ) releasably connect the panels ( ) to the balance by means of form-locking closure devices, so that each panel ( ) can be attached to the balance as well as released for removal from the balance by applying a force to the panel ( ) and/or the holder arrangement ( ).

Balance with a weighing compartment

A balance ( ) has a balance housing ( ) and an operator panel ( ). The operator panel ( ) cooperates with the balance housing ( ) and is connected, or connectable, to the latter in such a manner that the operator panel ( ) can be folded up from a working position into a rest position ( &prime;) by rotation about a pivot axis (A) that runs essentially parallel to the balance housing ( ). The mechanical connection is made through a pivoting arrangement which allows the operator panel ( ) to rest firmly on a supporting surface, independent of the level adjustment of the balance housing ( ). Furthermore, the operator panel ( ) is configured to be completely detachable from the balance housing ( ). Electrical signals are transmitted either through a cable or by a wireless mode of communication.

A balance ( ) has a weighing compartment ( ) and a balance housing ( ), which contains a weighing cell ( ) and forms a rear wall ( ) and a floor ( ) for the weighing compartment ( ). A weighing-load carrier ( ) is arranged on a cantilever arm ( ) of the weighing cell ( ). The rear wall ( ) of the weighing compartment is equipped with a stationary holder system ( ) that allows a variety of weighing-compartment accessories to be releasably installed at different levels above the floor ( ) of the weighing compartment.

The balance housing ( ) contains a weighing cell ( ) and forms a rear wall ( ) and a floor ( ) for the weighing compartment ( ). A weighing-load carrier ( ) is arranged on a cantilever arm ( ) of the weighing cell ( ). The cantilever arm ( ) also holds a weight-receiving element ( ) for calibration weights ( ) of a calibration device ( ). The weighing-load carrier ( ) is releasably attached to a coupling arrangement ( ) protruding from the cantilever arm ( ) through passage openings ( ) in the rear wall ( ). The floor ( ) extends without openings between the weight-receiving element ( ) for the calibration weights ( ) and the weighing-load carrier ( ).

Balance with a weighing-load carrier and a calibration device

A support device for a weighing cell is mounted on one or more support posts resting on support springs that are connected to a stationary chassis and are pre-tensioned with an upward force. In case of a downward-directed shock, the support springs will yield to the inertial shock force and allow the weighing cell to move downward. The support posts can lift off from their resting places on the support springs, but are constrained by guide members to a limited range of upward vertical movement. A balance equipped with the support device has a low profile height and protects the weighing cell from downward- as well as upward-directed shocks.

A dispensing apparatus for granular or powdery bulk materials includes a balance ( ) to weigh the doses of material being dispensed, a reservoir container ( ), and a cover ( ) to close the downward-facing opening of the storage container ( ). Integrated in the cover ( ) is a conveying and delivering device with a vertically movable, rotary conveyor body ( ) designed so that it can substantially close off the dispensing outlet ( ) for the bulk material. The conveyor body has a ring-shaped bottom ( ) sweeping a ring-shaped conveyor channel ( ) that is recessed in the cover ( ). The outlet ( ) is arranged in the ring-shaped channel ( ) and is designed to deliver a directed and locally concentrated stream of bulk material.
