A drive device (125) is adapted for use in combination with a weighing balance (100). The drive device has a receiving unit (130), an insertion unit (U) and a locking unit (140). The receiving unit is configured to receive the insertion unit. The locking unit is movable between a locking position, in which the insertion unit is constrained from movement, and an unlocking position, in which the movement is not constrained. The locking unit is coupled to the receiving unit in a biasing manner to predispose the locking unit into the locking position. The locking unit is slidably engaged with the receiving unit to allow the locking unit to slide relative to the receiving unit when an external force is applied to move the locking unit into the unlocking position.

Provided is a windshield for a balance, for which opening and closing doors of the windshield are smoothly moved without wobbling, dust or the like is unlikely to accumulate on the part of guide rails that guide the opening and closing doors, and cleaning is easy. Upper portions of the pair of opening and closing doors of the windshield are respectively suspended by upper frames provided along respective side portions of an upper surface door, and the opening and closing doors are reciprocated by air cylinders by being guided by guide rails each formed of a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. On the respective horizontal portions, projections that restrict lower ends of the respective opening and closing doors from being displaced in separating directions from the vertical portions are provided along movement paths of the respective opening and closing doors.

A sensing and digital display type weighing and code scanning integrated machine with a damping and dust-proof smart case includes a case device. A weigher is placed at an upper end of the case device. A code scanning device is fixedly connected to the upper end of the case device. The case device includes a case, a guide hole, a threaded hole, a through groove, a groove, a fan, a case door, a magnet, a guide rod, a first spring, a host base, a first clamping groove, a computer host, a filter cartridge, a circular groove and an efficient filter screen. The case door is hinged to the case. The magnet is fixedly connected to the case door. The guide rod is slidably nested in the case. The host base is fixedly connected to an upper end of the guide rod. The computer host is clamped in the host base.

An object measurement device for ascertaining measurements of cuboidal and boxed packages to provide measurement data to a host computer is provided. The device may include a frame, a weight sensor, and one or more dimension sensors. The frame may include a base and a vertical support member that extends vertically from the base. The weight sensor may be positioned on the base and may be configured to emit a weight data signal. The dimension sensors may include an upper sensor and one or more side sensors. The upper sensor may be positioned on the vertical support member, and the side sensors may be positioned adjacent to the base. The dimension sensors may be configured to emit dimensional data signals. The host computer may be in communication with the weight and dimension sensors. The host computer may be configured to receive the weight and the dimensional measurement data.

Provided is a balance with a windshield having a door to be smoothly opened and closed either manually or automatically. Provided is an electronic balance with a windshield including a balance main body including a weighing mechanism connected to a weighing pan, a windshield having doors capable of opening and closing by sliding, and configured to form a weighing chamber by covering the weighing pan, and actuators configured to open and close the doors, wherein the actuator includes a double-acting type air cylinder having two ports serving as air intake ports, an air pump-to be connected to the two ports, two valves respectively interposed between the air pump and the two ports and configured to make the ports communicate with and shut off from the atmosphere, and a control device configured to control the two valves-to make the two ports communicate with the atmosphere when the air pump is stopped. Without a special mechanism, switching between automatic opening and closing and manual opening and closing can be made, and in either automatic or manual opening and closing, the doors of the windshield are smoothly opened and closed.

In one embodiment, a sensor unit includes an outer housing including a top plate and a base member that together define an interior space, the top plate being configured to directly receive and support the leg of the piece of furniture, a load cell provided within the interior space configured to measure forces imposed by the leg on the top plate, the load cell including a planar metal plate having a deformable element to which the top plate is mounted and a sensor element mounted to the planar metal plate at a location at which the deformable element extends from the remainder of the planar metal plate, and an internal platform provided within the interior space and associated with the base member that supports the planar metal plate of the load cell in a manner in which the deformable element of the planar metal plate is free to deform when a force is imposed by the leg on the top plate.
