Sample filling device
First Claim
1. A shaking and holding device for the quantitative filling of a powder or granulated sample substance from a sample vessel, comprising an open hollow cylindrical chamber and a closed chamber which are connected by a pressure valve, the open chamber being adapted to accept the sample vessel with close tolerance, so that a ring-shaped gap remains between an inside wall of the open chamber and an outside wall of the sample vessel and further comprising pumping means for activation of the shaking and holding device by pumping on the closed chamber to periodically open and close the pressure valve in response to a pressure decrease and a pressure increase, whereby the pressure increase and decrease set the sample vessel into oscillation, and, suction the sample vessel with an average reduced pressure to hold the sample vessel for pouring into a measuring vessel.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for the automatic quantitative filling of powdered or granulated samples for analytic measurement purposes as well as a shaking and holding device for sample substances utilized therefor with which precisely admeasured amounts of the sample substance can be filled into a measuring vessel. The shaking device permits the sample substance to be filled in a continuous, slow and defined flowing stream. The shaking and holding of the sample vessel transpires preferentially pneumatically.
