Abstract
1341370 Weighing apparatus F M C CORP 6 July 1972 [2 Aug 1971] 31602/72 Heading G1W [Also in Division B8] Apparatus for batch weighing articles comprises a hopper 24 pivotally mounted to receive in one position thereof the articles and in another position thereof to discharge the articles, the hopper pivoting to the discharge position when a predetermined weight of articles have accumulated therein. As shown, the hopper 24 which is arranged to receive a succession of articles of fruit from a conveyor 22 is pivoted at 59 about its forward end on one end of a balance beam 66, the other end of which supports counterbalance weights and a tipping mechanism 95 for the hopper. When the beam 66 tilts against the action of a spring (116), Fig. 5, (not shown), when a predetermined weight of articles is in the hopper, a switch LS-4 in an electric circuit, Fig. 10, (not shown), is actuated whereby a gate 140 between the conveyor 22 and the hopper 24 is closed, the drive to the conveyor 22 is reversed for a short time period and, provided that an operator maintains a manual switch actuated signifying that the apparatus is operating properly, the tilting mechanism 95 is actuated to tilt the hopper and allow the articles to discharge through a pivoted wall 54 of the hopper 24 and via a chute 31 having pivotally mounted side guides 30 to a bag B1 maintained opened by a blower arrangement 28 at a packing station 26. Further switches are actuated to re-commence the feed of articles to the hopper once the hopper has discharged the weighed articles and returned by the action of a spring 67 to its article-receiving position. A frame 60 which is pivotally mounted on one end of the beam 66 and on which the hopper 24 is pivotally supported is provided with an extension 75 which in the article receiving position of the hopper 24 forms a continuation of the base 50 of the hopper and provides a support for an article stopped by the gate 140 when the predetermined weight of articles is in the hopper. The beam 66 is limited in its pivotal movement by a stop 126, is damped by a dash pot (122), Fig. 5, (not shown), and forms part of a parallelogram linkage with links and struts (110, 118, 120). The conveyor 22 is drivably connected to a reversible motor through a slip clutch and the gate 140 comprises a pair of relatively moveable bars controlled by the actions of a solenoid and a spring arrangement, the solenoid being included in the electric circuit together with a further solenoid for controlling the tipping mechanism 95 and a relay (RY-1), Fig. 10, (not shown), for operating switches (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5).
