Abstract
A weighing apparatus comprises a weighing table secured to a support frame by way of a load beam, the load beam being an elongate member having a through hole receiving a securing bolt fixed to the weighing table. In the invention, the securing bolt passes through a bracket, having two limbs disposed above and below the load beam, respectively. A pressure distribution plate is compressed by the securing bolt between one limb, of the bracket and one side of the load beam. On the other side of the load beam, a cylindrical sleeve encircling the securing bolt passes through a hole in the other limb of the bracket, to prevent movement of the bracket transverse to the axis of the securing bolt.
