Abstract
A load receiver () for a balance with arms () is designed to support weights of various shapes and sizes () by cradling the weights in a depression sloped at a variable slope angle towards the middle of the load receiver. A loading stage () arranged to cooperate with the load receiver () has one or more weight-placement devices () designed so that the load receiver () can reach through the weight-placement device () without touching the latter. The loading stage () and the load receiver () are moveable up and down in relation to each other. The weight-placement device () is suitably configured to support the different weights (). The load receiver () and loading stage () are used in a mass comparator for testing weight standards with a high degree of precision.
