Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an apparatus for the weight-dependent filling of containers, especially bottles (3), which comprise a tubular neck section (7) and which consists of a fill nozzle (8), a weighing device (5) and a holding element (6) for holding the container (3) under the fill nozzle (8). In that regard the weighing device (5) includes a force uptake element (14), a force introduction element (15) and a deformation body (17, 18) that is arranged therebetween and that is provided with strain gages (24) applied thereon. In that regard, the force uptake element (14) is secured on a machine frame (2) and the holding element (6) is secured on the force introduction element (15). The invention is characterized in that the force uptake element (14) is embodied as an outwardly lying ring element (14) and the force introduction element is embodied as a coaxially inwardly lying ring element (15), between which at least one radially spring-elastic connecting web (17, 18) is arranged as the deformation body. In that regard, the holding element (6) is secured on the inwardly lying ring element (15) therebelow.
