  • Publication number: 20160061647
    Abstract: A weighing and tracking device detachably joins with a container, such as luggage, for weighing and tracking. The capacity of the device to weigh the container helps determine weight compliance during travel. The capacity of the device to remain joined with the container enables tracking the container both indoors and outdoors. An elongated housing is sized to rest under a handle or slot in the container and enable lifting the container for weighing. A cap overlays the housing for protection. A central region is substantially where the weighing function occurs. A depression in the central region receives the handle to provide a balanced support for the container. A centered scale positions directly beneath the depression to absorb the weight of the container. A tracking unit uses GPS to track the container indoors or outdoors. This can be monitored on a communication device through a downloadable app.
