Abstract: This scale is primarily intended for the weighing of a hospital bed containing a patient. It may weigh an empty bed or any wheeled load. The scale is mounted on a frame which rests on the floor during a weighing operation, and is lifted off the floor onto a set of casters for moving the scale from one location to another. A detachable handle is provided for pulling the scale on its casters. The scale frame is oblong. The bed being weighed is supported on two channel-shaped rails, which are upwardly open. A pair of upwardly open, channel-shaped ramps are provided for rolling a bed onto the weighing rails from either side of the scale. The rails are provided with retractable blocking bars at both ends to prevent a bed from accidentally rolling off the rail. The ramps are removable. Provision is made for mounting the ramps on the scale during movement of the scale from one location to another.
