Abstract
A floor portion separates a weighing chamber encircled by a windshield case and accommodating a weighing pan, and a balance body accommodating a load detecting section, an incorporated weight, etc. A plurality of vents is provided through the floor portion. A movable floor is arranged to be able to move back and forth on supporting members. A plurality of vents is provided through the movable floor on the rear side of the floor portion so that number and center position of the vents of the movable floor is the same as the vents of the floor portion. When a temperature difference between the temperatures within the weighing chamber and within the balance body is large, the movable floor is moved to permit airflow between the weighing chamber and the balance body.
