Abstract
The calibration weight arrangement for an electronic balance with a force-transmitting device (), includes a calibration weight () capable of coupling to the force-transmitting device (). The calibration weight () is moved vertically by a transfer mechanism and a drive source to establish and to release the force-transmitting contact between the calibration weight () and the force-transmitting device (). The transfer mechanism has at least one resetting element () and a lifting system configured as a knee joint linkage (). The resetting element () and the lifting system work together to arrest and cushion the calibration weight () if the balance is shocked, dropped or hit.
