Abstract: A weighing scale has a measuring platform which is supported by at least three supporting feet resting on a floor, wherein to each supporting foot a load cell is assigned, wherein each load cell senses the share of the weight force originating from the measuring platform supported by the respective supporting foot. Each supporting foot is designed as a vertically extending measuring foot and comprises a load cell carrier on which the load cell rests and is attached, and an adjusting foot located below the load cell carrier. The load cell carrier is screwed with its external thread into the internal thread of the adjusting foot such that, by turning the adjusting foot relative to the load cell carrier, a vertical height of the measuring foot along a vertical screw axis is adjustable.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the weight of a person, wherein the weight measuring apparatus has at least one digital display and operator control unit. The at least one display and operator control unit is connectable to the weight measuring apparatus in at least two different positions in the region of a top segment thereof, so as to realize improved operability of the apparatus from different sides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bed scale with a plurality of measuring feet which each support one leg of the bed and are provided with a force transducer which delivers a signal representing a weight force acting on the measuring foot and furthermore with an evaluation device which is connected to the transmission devices in the measuring feet for receiving the signal in order to deliver a result dependent on the weight force bearing thereon.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a force or load comprising a vibratory beam which vibrates back and forth at a resonant frequency. The beam has first and second end nodal points and first and second ends adjacent to the first and second nodal points. The first end of the vibratory beam is coupled to the load for applying a stress to the vibratory beam that determines the resonant frequency at which the beam vibrates. In addition, masses are coupled to the beam intermediate of the first and second ends. The masses are arranged symmetrically on opposite sides of the beam and reciprocate at the resonant frequency. The reciprocatory masses are located at a position along the beam at which the greatest back and forth vibration of the beam at the resonant frequency occurs. Alternatively, a pair of vibratory beams are provided. The beams are coupled together at opposite ends to form a tuning fork, each beam having a portion which vibrates back and forth at a resonant frequency.

Abstract: A weighing scale with two overlapping weighing beam arrangements hinged in the middle of the weighing scale by means of connecting rods with pivot bearings and pivots and connected to a ground plate at the extremes has a pendulum foot (19) at the ends of each weighing beam arrangement which can swivel in a foot groove on the ground plate (39). The ends of the weighing beam arrangements accommodate a pivot block arrangement with two opposed pivots (50, 51). Support in pivot bearings is located beneath the weighing beam arrangement. The pivot block arrangements and the pivot bearings are located in the centre with regard to the weighing beams and transmit the support forces from the center to the weighing beams.
