Abstract

Abstract A message language switching device included in an operation display device of a combination weigher. The combination weigher operates to weigh product batches with a plurality of weigh units, combine the resultant weight signals in various combinations, select from the resultant combinations a combination having a total weight satisfying a predetermined condition and collect product from the corresponding weigh units, for forming a pack of product having a desired weight. The operation display device is adapted to set desired operational conditions of the combination weigher and display various data of operation derived from the weigher in operation. The message language switching device of this invention is provided for switching a language of explanatory words or messages displayed on a display screen of the operation display device into another language which is arbitrarily selected by an operator from previously registered several languages and easily understood by the operator.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 116 words
An operation display device for a combination weigher, comprising memory means (20; 38) for storing messages as a guidance for selecting operational conditions of said weigher and messages indicating a state of operation of said weigher, display means (26) including a display screen for displaying said messages, and control means (14; 34) for reading said messages from said memory means and supplying the same to said display means; characterised in that said memory means includes a plurality of memory regions (20a-2d; 38a-38g) for storing said messages in individual languages, respectively, and said control means includes selection means for reading said messages selectively from one of said memory regions and supplying the same to said display means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 116 words
An operation display device for a combination weigher, comprising memory means (20; 38) for storing messages as a guidance for selecting operational conditions of said weigher and messages indicating a state of operation of said weigher, display means (26) including a display screen for displaying said messages, and control means (14; 34) for reading said messages from said memory means and supplying the same to said display means; characterised in that said memory means includes a plurality of memory regions (20a-2d; 38a-38g) for storing said messages in individual languages, respectively, and said control means includes selection means for reading said messages selectively from one of said memory regions and supplying the same to said display means.
