Abstract
A combination weighing and counting apparatus supplies articles for each combination weighing cycle, onto a collecting chute, quickly and in a cluster form, towards a discharge mouth without giving rise to a difference in speed, and discharges the articles through the discharge mouth, all at once, to thereby achieve a high speed weighing and counting operation. This apparatus includes the collecting chute for collecting the articles, supplied from plural hoppers, and discharging them through the discharge mouth therebelow. A chute portion of the apparatus has a shape and an angle of inclination causing the articles to move along a parabolic line and be discharged in a cluster form from the discharge mouth.
