Support device for containers in extracorporeal blood treatment machines
First Claim
1. A support device for containers of liquids in extracorporeal blood treatment machines, or in renal failure treatment machines, comprising:
- a base body;
a support element associated to the base body, the support element being displaceable with respect to the base body between at least one operative loading position, corresponding or close to a position of maximum extraction of the support element from the base body, and an operative work condition, corresponding or close to a position of minimum extraction of the support element from the base body, the support element comprising means for hanging a container;
sensors for weighing a container fixed to the base body, said sensors for weighing comprising at least one measuring balance for weighing a container hung to the support device, the means for hanging the container and the container being configured below the measuring balance in the work condition of the support element, the means for hanging the container and the container being configured laterally of the measuring balance in the loading position of the support element, anda control unit configured to receive, from the measuring balance, a signal proportional to the weight of the container, the control unit being further configured to read and validate the signal proportional to the weight of the container only in the operative work condition of the support element in which the means for hanging the container and the container are placed below the measuring balance.

Abstract
The support device for bags, applicable in machines for extracorporeal blood treatment or in machines for renal failure treatment, comprises a base body (2) and a support element (3) associated to the base body in such a way as to be displaceable with respect to the base body between at least one operative loading position and an operative work position. In particular the support element is telescopically engaged to the base body and is slidable along a predetermined movement direction (4). The special configuration of the support device enables an easy loading of the machine and a subsequent optimal control of the machine stability.
