Abstract: In order to provide scales, comprising a weighed-product receiving region and a terminal positioned at a vertical spacing from the weighed-product receiving region, that are easy to operate, it is proposed that at least one camera with a field of view towards the weighed-product receiving region is disposed on the terminal.

Abstract: In a weighing device for the point-of-sale of a retail outlet with a reading device installed therein, the following measures are taken: Only a single weighing cell in the form of a bending bar is provided and as far as possible is disposed laterally offset in a stationary manner on the scales stand. The support for a load plate of the weighing device is designed to be intrinsically rigid and in the vicinity of its one edge is rigidly connected to the bending bar such that a window provided in the load plate and in the support is held cantilevered over the scales stand. On the scales stand the reading device lies on the one side and an electronic evaluation circuit lies on the other side of the bending bar. The electronic evaluation circuit with microcomputer and analog-to-digital converter carries out an automatic weight determination and price calculation of the weighed article.

Abstract: A keyboard for a fully electronic, microcomputer-controlled commercial scale with call-up memory, in particular for self-service or quick-service purposes, comprises a keyboard consisting of a plurality of individual keys with actuating elements, whereby symbols and/or alphanumerical characters are assigned to the individual keys. The keyboard has a guide plate with a plurality of individual keys arranged at a certain grid distance from each other. The guide plate is provided over its entire surface with actuating elements for the individual keys.

Abstract: A golf club head with a body of substantially conventional shape having an aerodynamically shaped shank for less drag, increased mass in the body and resulting increased club head speed. The hosel is configured to fit within the shaft to further reduce mass outside the body, thereby further increasing mass of the body for a given swing weight. The result of increased body mass and reduced drag is measurably greater distance in flight of the ball hit with the same energy applied as compared with a conventional golf club.
