Gravimetric measuring instrument with releasable load receiver
First Claim
1. A gravimetric measuring instrument in the form of a weighing cell having a load-transmitting member adapted for releasable connection to a load receiver, and further comprising:
- a mechanical stop residing on the load-transmitting member;
a mechanical counter stop residing on the load receiver; and
an eccentric bolt engaging the load receiver and the load-transmitting member;
wherein rotation of the eccentric bolt causes the mechanical stop to be clamped against the mechanical counter stop, thereby rigidly securing the load receiver to the load-transmitting member.

Abstract
A gravimetric measuring instrument that contains a weighing cell having a load-transmitting member. A load receiver can be coupled to the load-transmitting member through a releasable connection. A mechanical stop resides on the load-transmitting member, and a mechanical counter stop resides on the load receiver. By means of an eccentric bolt engaging the load receiver and the load-transmitting member, the mechanical stop can be pressed against the mechanical counter stop, whereby the stop can be clamped tight against the counter stop. With this arrangement, the load receiver can be rigidly but releasably secured to the load-transmitting member.

19. A gravimetric measuring instrument in the form of an electrically conductive weighing cell having a load-transmitting member that is comprised of a material of low thermal conductivity and is adapted for releasable connection to an electrically conductive load receiver, the instrument further comprising:
-
a mechanical stop residing on the load-transmitting member; a mechanical counter stop residing on the load receiver; an electrically conductive contact spring arranged between the weighing cell and the load receiver; and an eccentric bolt engaging the load receiver and the load-transmitting member, the eccentric bolt designed and located such that rotation thereof causes the mechanical stop to be clamped against the mechanical counter stop, thereby rigidly securing the load receiver to the load-transmitting member. - View Dependent Claims (20)
