Abstract

A mounting kit for a weighing cell includes a lower mounting plate, an upper mounting plate, two pressure pieces for receiving a weighing cell and at least one safety element forming an integrated fall-arresting, lifting or limiting safeguard. The safety element ( 6 ) has a connecting element and a stop element, and the connecting element and stop element are in positive engagement with one another. The connecting element and the upper pressure piece are connected to the upper mounting plate by adhesive force and the stop element and the lower pressure piece are connected to the lower mounting plate by adhesive force.

Claims (15)

1. A mounting kit for a weighing cell comprising a lower mounting plate, an upper mounting plate, two pressure pieces for receiving a weighing cell and at least one safety element forming an integrated fall-arresting, lifting or limiting safeguard, wherein the safety element comprises a connecting element and a stop element, wherein the connecting element and the stop element are in positive engagement to one another,

wherein the connecting element is connected to the upper mounting plate by adhesive force,

wherein the upper pressure piece is connected to the upper mounting plate by adhesive force,

wherein the stop element is connected to the lower mounting plate by adhesive force,

wherein the lower pressure piece is connected to the lower mounting plate by adhesive force,

wherein the stop element is constructed as a tubing section which forms an arch in cross section, and

wherein the connection element comprises at its lower end a bore and a cross-bolt placed therein, said cross-bolt being disposed horizontally to the lower mounting plate with vertical play with respect to the stop element, said cross-bolt serving as a lifting safe guard.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting element has a bolt-like round shape.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive-force connection is constructed as a welded, soldered or adhesive seam.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the cross-bolt is detachably fastened to the connecting element by means of a flange with a tapped hole.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the stop element covers the fall-arresting and lifting safety device and has a sufficiently large space below the stop element for easy cleaning.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the surfaces are electro-polished.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein large mounting holes are provided in the lower and upper mounting plate with horizontal play for mounting and for alignment of the mounting kit with respect to the load and the counter-bearing, and wherein the mounting holes are covered by cover plates in the mounted state.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein each adhesive-force connection is constructed as a welded, soldered or adhesive seem.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated safe guard is entirely positioned at one side of the weighing cell.
