Abstract
A weighing system for material suspended from a rail or trolley. The system includes a transition track between the regular track and the weighing track to avoid oscillation of pressure on the weighing track which causes difficulty in rapidly arriving at a proper weight. The transition track is biassed away from the weighing track so as not to cause a false weight reading. It also includes a novel trolley moving mechanism for moving the trolley as it passes over the weighing mechanism.
Claims6
A system for weighing--a--load on a trolley comprising a divided main track, trolley means--rolling--in one direction on said main track, weighing means--for bridging--the division in said main track section, a transition support section between said main track and said weighing track section, said rolling of said trolley means in said one direction defining an entrance end and a discharge end of said weighing track section, said entrance end of said transition support section being--in contact with and--rockingly supported--on a part of--said main track--at a pivot line--not further in said one direction than vertically below the entrance end of said transition support section, said discharge end of said transition support section being formed to engage and to be supported by said entrance end of said weighing track section.
