Abstract

A scale has a scale body with a window, a first mark and a first dial having absolute weight scales therein, the dial being rotatable and visible through the window. The scale is provided with a weighing mechanism for weighing a user, which can rotate a first dial to indicate the weight of the person to be weighed on an absolute weight dial with reference to a first mark. The scale also includes a second dial with height and relative weight scales, which can be used to preset the height of the user by hand when the height scale is used and viewed through the window. The body weighing scale also comprises a second scale which can rotate along with the first dial plate and is used for indicating the difference between the weighed body weight and the standard body weight on the relative weight scale according to the preset height.

Description

Scale

The utility model relates to a scale, in particular to a scale.

It is common to have a bathroom scale in the home, although it can be used elsewhere, typically in medical centers to measure body weight. Weight is a good indicator of health conditions, and a sudden change in weight, for example, provides a clear warning that a health problem is or is imminent. Additionally, many people like to measure their weight frequently to make sure they're not gaining unnecessary weight or to see if a meal plan is working.

Generally, weight is related to height and sex, and the recommended or standard weight for a given height can be determined based on statistical data. A chart showing a series of corresponding heights and standard weights can be used as a guide for people to check whether they are underweight or overweight, but it is not very convenient to use.

The utility model provides a weighing scale. The weighing scale has a scale body with a window. There is a first marking line and a first dial in the window. There is an absolute weight scale on the dial. The dial is supported by a shaft and can rotate about the vertical axis and are at least partially visible through the window. The scale also has a weighing mechanism for measuring the user's weight and rotating the first dial to indicate the weight of the person being weighed on the absolute weight dial with reference to the first mark. The scale also includes a second dial on which a height scale and a corresponding weight scale are provided; this dial is at least partially visible through the window and the user's height can be manually preset on the height scale. The body weight scale also has a second marking line, which can rotate together with the first dial to point out the difference between the measured weight and the corresponding standard weight of the predetermined height on the relative weight scale.

According to the weighing scale provided by the utility model, it is preferable that the value shown on the relative weight scale is from a negative value to a positive value, indicating that the weight is underweight or overweight.

In addition, the second dial is supported by a shaft and is rotatable about the shaft.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the height and relative weight scales are located inside the absolute weight scale relative to the axis.

Additionally, at least the portion of the second dial visible through the window is annular.

Also, the second dial can be turned by a knob provided on said shaft.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second marking line is arranged directly on the first dial for simultaneous rotation.

Below with reference to accompanying drawing, in conjunction with embodiment, the utility model is described in detail, in the figure:

Fig. 1 is a top view of a weighing scale according to an embodiment of the present utility model. The scale has a window to display its measurements.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the window in Fig. 1, showing its non-working state.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the window in Fig. 1, showing its working state.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a weighing scale 10 of the utility model embodiment, and this weighing scale has a planar scale body 11, and this scale body has upper cover plate 12, through the window 13 of upper cover plate 12, and A disc-shaped dial 14, which is supported under the window 13, rotates about a vertical axis X. The scale 10 also has an internal weighing mechanism connected with the upper cover 12 to make the dial 14 turn at an angle proportional to the displacement caused by the person standing on the upper cover 12 . There is a central marking line 15 along the window 13, and an absolute weight scale 16 is arranged on the outer edge of the dial 14 to represent body weight in kilograms, and its interval is 10kg. According to conventional weighing methods, when a person stood on the scale 10, the dial 14 automatically rotated under the effect of the body weight, and the body weight can be read on the absolute body weight scale 16 with reference to the marking line 15.

The scale 10 also has a second disc-shaped dial 20 . On part of the outer edge of the second dial 20, there are height scales 21 for presetting the height in centimeters from 140cm to 190cm, with an interval of 10cm. Also have relative body weight scale 22 on the second dial 20, in order to represent relative body weight in kilograms from +25kg through 0 o'clock or 0kg sign to-25kg, interval is 10kg. The second dial 20 is pivotally supported and rotatable about the same axis X, and can be turned by hand through the knob 23 . In order to cooperate with the second dial 20, the first dial 14 is provided with a short marking line 24, which is at the same angular position as the 60kg mark on the absolute weight scale 16. Please refer to FIG. working condition. The person who wishes to use the scale 10 should first set his height (as shown in the figure, take 151cm as an example) that is, turn the second dial 20 so that the sign of 151cm on the height scale 21 coincides with the marking line 15. Then the person stands on the weighing scale 10 until the dial 14 stops rotating. At this time, the marking line 15 points out its body weight (47.5kg in this example) on the absolute weight scale 16, and the short marking line 24 is on the relative weight scale 22. Points to -3kg, indicating that the person is 3kg lighter than the standard weight.

On the second dial 20, the 0kg mark on the relative weight scale 22 is made to coincide with the 165cm mark on the height scale. It can be seen that if a person with a height of 165cm weighs 60kg, the 60kg mark on the absolute weight scale 16 and The short marking line 24 at the same position should stop at the marking line 15, at this moment, the value of the short marking line 24 on the relative weight scale 22 is 0kg. This means that the predetermined standard weight of a person with a height of 165cm is 60kg.

The matching group of height (165cm) and weight (60kg) is selected based on a series of statistical data of height and corresponding standard weight. It is selected based on the average height of potential customers of most scales in certain countries or regions 10 - 165cm is the average height of female users in Asian countries - in order to maximize the use of relative weight scales in both positive and negative directions 2 . Of course, for men and/or women in other regions, alternative choices are also available.

From the description of the use of the weighing scale 10 in connection with FIG. 3, it can be seen how easy and simple it is for anyone to determine his/her body weight in a conventional manner immediately, and Immediately determines whether he/she is overweight or underweight compared to the standard weight by presetting the height on the second dial.

Furthermore, when using a scale, the actual weight is of little importance in most cases, and the user is often more concerned with his/her weight changes. For this reason, the relative weight dial 20 can be checked very simply, and the actual weight reading is ignored. At this point the scale 10 provides a very useful, quick and convenient daily reference value, which is practically desired by most users.

In the above embodiment, the height and relative weight scales 21 and 22 are located inside the absolute weight scale 16 relative to the axis X. On the contrary, the scales 21 and 22 can also be located on the outside of the scale 16, so that the spaced setting can make the related signs or values clearer.

The utility model is only illustrated by this example, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications to this embodiment within the scope of the appended claims of this specification.
