Abstract: A body weight measuring apparatus, comprising a scale mechanism adapted to be displaced in accordance with the body weight of a person on the scale mechanism, means for converting the displacement amount of said scale mechanism into an electrical pulse train the number of which pulses is associated with said displacement amount, a counter for counting the number of pulses of said pulse train to provide a data associated with said body weight by way of a count value, and a display for displaying said body weight in a digital manner, wherein various conditioning data, such as the height, sex, age, nationality and the like of a person being measured is set, a standard body weight is evaluated in accordance with the set conditioning data, said standard body weight and said measured body weight are compared to evaluate the difference body weight, which is displayed by means of said display, an upper limit and/or lower limit for defining a desirable standard range of body weight determinable by said conditioning da

Abstract: An indicating apparatus for indicating measured values in a digital manner, comprising a graduated plate adapted to be moved in accordance with the weight of an object to be weighed, the graduated plate being provided with numerical characters for indicating the weight in a digital manner and displacement indicating marks for detection of the displacement of the graduated plate, the numerical characters and displacement indicating marks being arranged in the direction of movement of the graduated plate, two light sources opposed to the graduated plate and individually correlated with two adjacent numerical characters, the two light sources being controlled so that either one of them is turned on in response to a signal indicating the displacement of the graduated plate represented by the associated displacement indicating mark thereby to indicate the measured value in a digital manner.
