A DRIVE DEVICE USED IN COMBINATION WITH A WEIGHING BALANCE

A drive device adapted to be used in combination with a weighing balance, said drive device comprising a receiving unit wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive an insertion unit; the drive device further comprising a locking unit that is movable between a locking position in which movement of said insertion unit is constrained and an unlocking position in which the movement of said insertion unit is unconstrained. Whereby the locking unit is biasingly coupled to the receiving unit for predisposing the locking unit in to the locking position, and the locking unit is slidably engaged with the receiving unit for allowing the locking unit to slide relative to the receiving unit upon application of external force so as to move the locking unit into the unlocking position.
