ABSTRACT:
A weighbridge for a conveyor belt assembly for measuring the weight of a section of conveyor belt carrying a load of material to be transported along the conveyor belt assembly is disclosed. The conveyor belt assembly has frame members positioned longitudinally along side the conveyor belt and engages the underside of the conveyor belt to support it. The weighbridge comprises one of these crossmembers, with said member being mounted for generally vertical movement relative to the adjacent frame member and thus constituting a weighbridge crossmember. The weighbridge further comprises a load sensing assembly mounted on the adjacent frame member for supporting the weighbridge crossmember. A bracket member selectively mounts the load assembly on the adjacent frame member moveable between first and second positions. In the first position, the load assembly and weighbridge crossmember are free to move longitudinally and transversely with respect to the frame member within a limited range of movement. In the second position, the load assembly is affixedly secured on the adjacent frame member against movement whereby on installation and adjustment of the weighbridge the mounting means is free to move so as to relieve longitudinal and transverse forces otherwise induced in the weighbridge and prior to use the load sensing assembly is mounted in condition free of such induced forces.
