A fail-safe measuring weight comprises a body portion having a threaded bore therethrough, the threaded bore including a portion of reduced diameter. An adjustment plug for adjusting the weight to within a very fine tolerance of its final desired value includes a head portion and an exteriorly threaded stem portion, the stem portion being receivable in the reduced diameter portion of the body portion bore for securing the adjustment plug therein, and inhibiting inaccuracies of the weight due to improper use. Because the adjustment plug comprises 1% to 5% of the total weight of the instrument its absence may be readily ascertained. The fail-safe weight further comprises a cover member having a threaded bore for receiving adjustment particles which may be sealed therein. The cover member further includes a rod member, integral therewith and partially disposed therein transverse to the longitudinal axis of said cover member, portions of the rod member projecting from the sides of the cover member to form hand grips, whereby movement of the weight is facilitated.

An assembly for semi-automatic weighing and bagging of fruit or like product. A feed apparatus, including a motor driven softbristle spiral brush, delivers fruit past a gate to a pivotal scoop for facilitating weighing and bagging of the fruit. The amount of fruit accumulated in the scoop is weighed by a scale the scale having a four point linkage system with ball bearings at each pivot point - and the amount of weight is sensed by a photocell responsive to movement of a moveable member of the scale. Circuitry connected to the photocell displays the weight of the accumulated fruit on a visual display, and provides for dynamic braking of the feed motor and movement of the gate to a position wherein it prevents delivery of fruit to the scoop. After the scoop is emptied and moved back to normal position, the motor is activated and the gate removed and the operation can be repeated.

The helical tension spring which counteracts the weight of an object on the scale pan of an inclination balance is fixedly attached to one arm of the balance beam to avoid friction in the connection between the spring and the beam. The attachment permits the spring position to be adjusted along the beam and the effective length of the spring to be adjusted. The weighing errors resulting from buckling of the spring are compensated by a suitably modified scale from which the weight is read.
摘要:
A remotely operable device for detecting changes as they occur in the mass of a selected specimen. The device is characterized by a balance beam including at one end thereof a support for receiving a specimen having a changing mass and suspension means, including a flexure, supporting the beam near its center of gravity for pivotal movement imparted thereto proportionally to changes occurring in the mass of the specimen, and strain gages coupled with the flexure for providing a read-out indicative of the pivotal movement imparted to the beam.

A fish scale having handle means for suspending the beam of the scale with a hook adapted for insertion into either one of two apertures in said beam; a hook depending from one end of the beam for holding a fish to be weighed, a transparent fluid receptacle dependent from the opposite end of the beam, a filling aperture at the top of the receptacle, weight indicia for showing weight at various levels of fluid within the receptacle, and means at the lower end of the receptacle for retaining or releasing portions of said fluid from the receptacle.
摘要:
A measuring instrument of the spring balance type for measuring a mass, through a measurement of force, which includes mounting means for a resilient member counteracting the force that maintains the axis of operation of the resilient member linear along the vertical.

A torsion balance has a pair of load pans carried by trusses disposed between opposite ends of a pair of vertically spaced balancing beams which pivot on a central support truss. Each truss has a torsion band with an upper active run stretched between fixed upper corner spools and a lower active run stretched between movable lower corner spools. The lower corner spools engage cams which are rotated to vary the distance between the upper and lower active runs of the band to adjust the sensitivity of the balance to eccentric loads on its pans.
