<p>An automatic weighing apparatus is provided with a plurality of weighing heads arranged in a row diagonal to the direction in which articles are collected, and with discharge buckets disposed in a row between each weighing head and the path along which collecting buckets are advanced to collect the articles. Each weighing head comprises a weighing machine, a weighing hopper and a device for feeding articles into the weighing hopper. Chutes which are small in length are provided between each row of discharge hoppers and the path along which the collecting buckets travel, and serve to guide articles, discharged by the discharge buckets, into a collecting bucket as it is advanced in the collecting direction. The number of discharge buckets in each row increases by one in the direction of article collection, and the discharge buckets are adapted to be inverted at a position adjacent the corresponding chute to facilitate the discharge operation. Synchronization is established between movement of the discharge and collecting buckets. </p> |
