Additional weight for a carriage-type drawing machine

摘要

An additional weight (2) for a carriage-type drawing machine is provided, containing a weight body (4) which can be added to the compensating weight of the vertical carriage and can be moved together with the compensating weight in the vertical running rail. For the simple use and reliable coupling and uncoupling of the compensating weight, at least one braking element (20), acting against the running rail and having an actuating attachment (22) directed in the running direction and projecting above the weight body, is provided which actuating attachment moves the brake element out of the braking position against the action of a restoring spring (24) into a running position when the compensating weight is in contact with the actuating attachment. <IMAGE>
