ABSTRACT:
A weighing apparatus comprising a weighing pan (20) for supporting on an upper surface thereof an object (21) to be weighed, a support for the weighing pan (20), the support contacting a lower surface of the weighing pan and comprising an elongate member (23) extending downwardly from the weighing pan (20), the elongate member (23) extending through a hole (24) provided in a floor (36), located beneath the weighing pan (20), of a weighing pan region of the apparatus, a weighing mechanism (44) located beneath the floor (36) of the weighing pan region in a weighing mechanism region of the apparatus, the elongate member (23) connecting with the weighing mechanism, and a drive means (28) for selectively moving the weighing pan (20) between an upper position, at which the weighing pan (20) is spaced from the floor (36), and a lower position, at which the weighing pan (20) contacts the floor (36) in a sealing relationship for preventing material in the weighing pan region from passing through the hole (24) into the weighing mechanism region.
