Abstract: A bathroom scale with a multi-digit seven segment display of the sensed weight including a movable weighing platform, a lever bridge system and a bias spring resisting and deforming under the load on the platform, a movable code carrier which may rotate, a gear system between the bias spring bridge linkage and code carrier, a code strip with a multiplicity of transparent and opaque areas arranged in a code, an indexing system to stop the code carrier only a predetermined code implements, the indexing system including a magnet or lock, and a generally ladder shaped latch defining indexing implements stopping the code carrier at predetermined positions, a yieldable member in the gearing system, a multi-digit seven segment display including stacked light transmitting plates with light inlets adjacent the code strip of the carrier and light outlets directing light for viewing in a direction orthogonally of the stacked plates.

Abstract: A citrus fruit halving device comprising a holder and blade both of plastic and formed integrally and of one piece with each other, the blade having a sawtooth upper edge disposed adjacent the upper portions of the side walls of the holder, the holder forming a juice-confining chamber at its bottom and having enlarged and generally circular recesses in the side walls, adequate in size to receive the citrus fruits when thrust downwardly over the blade with a slight rotation to halve the fruit, the recess having a depth below the top edge of the blade nearly as deep as the diameter of the fruit so that the fruit may be halved in one downward thrusting motion with slight rotation.
