Disclosed is a scale so marked with centimeters and inches that inch-and-foot marks are made on the basis of the correct metric set of marks to be recurrently in alignment with selected metric marks at every spatial period, Thus, the exact linear measurement is permitted according to the metric system, and at the same time, the approximate inch-and-foot linear determination is permitted readily by sight.

A scale has a housing and an indicating mechanism in the housing, and a weighing platform outside the housing. A movable balance arm connects the platform with the mechanism. The platform is removably connected with the arm so that it can be taken off the same. An arresting arrangement is provided for the arm and is so arranged in the interior of the housing that it can engage the arm or be disengaged from the same, only when the platform is removed from the arm.

This inventive scale consists of a frame (2), a platform (3) parallel and perpendicular to the frame (2), a load lifter (5) and a level mechanism consisting of at least one arm (1). The lever mechanism transmits the load from the platform (3) to the load lifter (5) and is connected to the frame (2), the platform (3) and the load lifter (5) by means of couplings (10, 13, and 15). The lever mechanism, consisting of at least one arm (1), has a flexible connector at each end and one in the middle (7...

The scale of the present invention has a housing with a recess in its upper surface to allow rotative movement of a pointer therein. Numerals corresponding to weight are disposed an an annular disc-shaped dial carried by the upper periphery of the housing. A transparent cover plate overlies the recess in which the pointer rotates. The recess, pointer and dial are arranged and dimensioned so that the pointer and numerals can be easily read by a user from a standing position. The dial and cover ar...

A scale includes an arm system movable about and fixedly secured to a fulcrum. An output detector is coupled adjacent to one end of the arm system. A load structure is utilized to position an item thereon which is to be weighed by the scale. A strain sensor is fixedly connected adjacent the other end of the arm system and the load structure. The strain sensor and fulcrum are formed of resilient material.

An under bed scale which is comprised of a support frame, a load frame mounted on the support frame for receiving a load and for moving vertically relative to the support frame upon receiving the load, a pair of beam arms connected to the load frame to pivot about a respective horizontal axis in response to movement of the load frame, springs mounted on the support frame and secured to each beam arm to proportionally restrain movement of the beam arm relative to the support frame and a pair of m...

A balance lever is fulcrumed for pivotal movement and a load support above the balance lever is mounted independently of the latter for movement in an upright path between a plurality of positions in each of which the load support has an orientation in space which remains unchanged. Motion-transmitting coupling arrangements couple the load support with the balance lever to impose upon the latter angular incremental displacements which are indicative of the movement of the load support in the afo...

A scale small enough and light enough to be carried in a person's pocket by virtue of the fact that most of its components are formed of lightweight molded plastic material. The fulcrum for the beam of the scale is provided by a pair of pointed, metal fulcrum posts adapted to cooperate with a pair of metal bearing inserts in the beam. A sliding weight which is movable along the beam has a metal insert to increase its weight and the metal insert is positioned in the plane of the fulcrum when the ...

The invention relates to a device to be used for the sale of goods in a store. Said device comprises a unit for generating goods-related signals, a unit for generating identification signals, which represent the type of the goods to be sold, and comprises a display unit for generating a visual representation of information contents that are determined on the basis of the goods-related signals and/or identification signals. For generating a visual representation, the invention provides that the s...

A scale, which is particularly intended for weighing humans, comprises a pedestal and a table. The pedestal is provided with upwardly extending and the table with downwardly extending holders, which are arranged at the region of the table edge and essentially uniformly distributed over the table circumference. In each case there alternately...
