PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a weighing device allowing the positioning of a position viewed from above of a container in a proper position to a placing part of a weighing part, and allowing the suppression of the breakage of the weighing part.SOLUTION: In this weighing device, a positioning unit A includes a container support part As placement-supporting a part different from a placed part supported by a placing part in a container T, and can freely placement-support the container T in a state that a position in a plan view to the placing part of the container T is positioned in a measuring proper position. The weighing device includes a changeover operation means capable of freely delivering the container T to the placing part in a weighing part according as vertically lowering the container T while the position viewed from above of the container T is positioned in the proper position to a descent position from an ascent position wherein the container T is placement-supported in a state that the container T is vertically separated from the placing part, and performing a changeover operation of the positioning means A between the ascent position and the descent position.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】秤量部の載置部に対して容器の平面視の位置を適正位置に位置決めすることができ、しかも、秤量部が破損することを抑制できる秤量装置を提供する。【解決手段】位置決め手段Aが、容器Tにおける載置部に支持される被載置部とは異なる箇所を載置支持する容器支持部Asを備えて、容器Tの載置部に対する平面視の位置を計測用の適正位置に位置決めした状態で容器Tを載置支持自在に構成され、かつ、容器Tを上下方向で載置部から離間した状態で載置支持する上昇位置から下降位置へ、容器Tの平面視の位置を適正位置に位置させたまま鉛直方向に下降するに伴って、容器Tを秤量部における載置部に受け渡し自在に構成され、位置決め手段Aを上昇位置と下降位置とに切換操作する切換操作手段が設けられている。【選択図】図5
