Abstract
A device () allows a door of a balance draft shield enclosure () to be activated by a carrier fork () of a robot (). The vertically movable draft shield door () sets open an access opening in a raised position and closes the opening in a lowered position. A door-lifter with a force-application element () is connected to the draft shield door for application of an upward-directed vertical force. A transmitting mechanism (), standing clear of the balance () includes a force-receiving element () that is moved vertically by the carrier fork, between upper and lower end positions. It further includes at least one direction-reversing element (), coupled to the force-receiving element for coupling to the force-application element, a return spring (), and a spring-biased locking latch ().
