  • Patent number: 5717167
    Abstract: A device (10) for correcting for the out-of-level condition of a weighing apparatus (20), which includes a scale (22) and a clinometer (24) to provide an accurate weight measurement of a load disposed thereon whenever the tilt of the scale (22) is within preselected out-of-level angles. The device (10) is configured such that the scale (22) and the clinometer (24) provide respective analog weight (23) and angle (60) signals to an analog-to-digital ratiometric converter (70) which generates a proportional digital output signal (72) to a microcomputer (40) for storing the weight in memory (42) and visually displaying the weight on a weight display (48).
