ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for attaching a feeder to a vibrator, such as incorporated in a combinational weighing machine for transporting articles to a weighing device, includes a pair of lower and upper engaging members attached respectively to the vibrator and to the feeder, the latter being placed on top of the former. A generally annular clamp is wrapped around and engages with the peripheral parts of the engaging members, and a diameter control device is provided to it for reducing its diameter and to thereby apply an inwardly oriented force on peripheral parts of the engaging members. At least one of the surfaces of the engaging members or the clamp across which the engaging members and the clamp are in contact is tapered such that this inward force will cause the engaging members to be pressed against each other and hence to attach the feeder firmly to the vibrator.
