Abstract

A weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell for measuring the weight of material stored in a material storage tank in which the tank has a material feeding opening. The tank comprises a shoulder flame fixed to only the tank and a support arm penetrating through the tank so as not to contact with the tank and firmly supported its both ends at the outward of the tank, and a load cell provided so as to directly support the shoulder flame between the shoulder flame and the support arm.

Claims

1. A weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell for measuring the weight of material stored in a material storage tank in which the tank has a material feeding port, comprising:

a shoulder flame provided in said tank so as to fix only to said tank;

a support arm penetrating through said tank so as not to contact with said shoulder flame and firmly supported at its both ends outward of said tank; and

a load cell provided between said shoulder arm and said support flame so as to directly support said shoulder flame.

2. The weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell as set forth in claim 1, wherein a discharge apparatus for discharging the material stored in said material storage tank is further provided with said material storage tank.

3. The weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shoulder flame has a steeple roof.

4. The weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell as set forth in claim 2, wherein said shoulder flame has a steeple roof.

5. The weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shoulder flame is a structure orthogonal to a vertical axis including the center of gravity of said weight measuring apparatus and wherein said load cell is provided substantially directly under the center of structure.

6. The weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell as set forth in claim 2, wherein said shoulder flame is a structure orthogonal to a vertical axis including the center of gravity of said weight measuring apparatus and wherein said load cell is provided substantially directly under the center of structure.

7. The weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell as set forth in claim 3, wherein said shoulder flame is a structure orthogonal to a vertical axis including the center of gravity of said weight measuring apparatus and wherein said load cell is provided substantially directly under the center of structure.

8. The weight measuring apparatus housing therein a load cell as set forth in claim 4, wherein said shoulder flame is a structure orthogonal to a vertical axis including the center of gravity of said weight measuring apparatus and wherein said load cell is provided substantially directly under the center of structure.
