WEIGHING-SCALll-.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,761, dated June 3, 1884.
i Application filed January 25, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom it may concerns Be it known that I, NAPOLEON DU BEUL, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Weighing-Scales, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in those balances or weighing-scales in which the torsional elasticity of metal or analogous ma- IO terial is employed to control the oscillations of the beam. y
My improvements have for their object the production, at a moderate expense, of a torsionbalance of great simplicity, sensitiveness, and durability.
In another application, No. 118,691, I have shown, described, and claimed, and applied to one form of scale a at torsion strip, bar, or rod stretched horizontally and set up edgewise 2O to form a fulcrum strip, bar, or rod for a beam.
its other end carries a sliding weight and lent elastic material.
hanger for additional weights.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a partly sectional elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan.
A is the base, Av the standard, and A the T-head, of a cast-metal support orstand. The T- head A at one end bifurcates into two lugs, B, to each of which is fastened by clampingblock D and screw E one end of astretched fiat strip, bar, or rod, C, of steel or equiva,
The lugs B are the ful-- Crum-lugs, and the strip, bar, or rod C the fulcrum strip, bar, or rod. To the fulcrum ,strip, bar, or rod, at its mid-length, there is attached, by similar clamping-block and screw to those already described, a scale-beam, F,
which extends on both sides of the fulcrum strip, bar, or rod. On one side of the fulcrum strip, bar, or rod the beam F takes the form of a loop, G, to whichare properly attached the 0 ends of a torsion stri J bar or rod H similar 5 1 7 7 a to the fulcrum strip, bar, or rod. Similarly attached to the mid-length of the end torsion strip, bar, or rod is the stem J of a suspended stirrup, J', which carries a pendent pan or platform, K. The stem J extends above the supporting strip, bar, or rod H, and is surmounted by a small supplementary pan, K. The beam on this side of the fulcrum terminates in a second loop, G, which is crossed by a screw-threaded rod, R, that carries an 6o adjustable auxiliary weight, S, for trimming or leveling either a loaded or unloaded scale. The beam on the other side ofthe fulcrum is marked with a scale, L, and carries a slidable weight, M. Suspended from the extremity of the same portion of the beam F'is a hanger, N, to receive additional weights when necessary. It is apparent that in this construction of scale there are only two pivotal torsion strips, bars, or rods, and the weight of the suspended pan K maintains both it and the supplementary pan K to proper horizontality without any guides in every position of the beam. The weight of the pan K and its hanger in the described combination with the torsion strip, bar, or rod H not only proves a very sensitive arrangement, but enables the easy carrying of the small supplementary pan K above the pivotal point for light articles, and at a trivial expense.
In a useful modification of this form-applicable, for instance, to weighing letters and other light articles-the part of the pan-support below the torsion strip, bar, or rod may take the form of a pendant of sufficient weight to support and maintain the pan K above the said strip, bar, or rod in horizontal position during its oscillations, independently of pan K, which may be omitted.
I claim as new and of my invention 1. In a weighing-scale, the combination of a beam having its fulcrum-support acting torsionally, a torsion strip, bar, or rod fastened -rigidly to the beam, and a platform secured directly and rigidly to and suspended from the torsion strip, bar, or rod, as set forth.
2. In a weighing-scale, the combination of a beam having its fulcrum-support acting torA sionally, a torsion strip, bar, or rod secured by its ends rigidly to the beam, and a platform secured directly and rigidly to and suspended from the torsion strip, bar, or rod, and having a light supplementary pan above the beam, as set forth. w
In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
NAPOLEON DU BRUIT.
