| 7439457 | Apparatus for determining relative density of produce using weighing and size measuring The higher the reading of relative density, liquid weight per unit volume, of pieces of produce such as fruits, the juicier the piece of produce is. By comparing a number of pieces of produce of the same type and species and ranking them, the juiciest pieces of prod... | 10/21/2008 |
| 6603081 | Balance with a weighing compartment A balance (1) has a weighing compartment (3) and a balance housing (4), which contains a weighing cell (15) and forms a rear wall (13) and a floor (8) for the weighing compartment (3). A weighing-load carrier (2) is arranged on a cantilever arm (30) of th... | 08/05/2003 |
| 6284987 | Embedded weight scale A weighing scale detects and indicates changes in a small weight that is embedded within a much larger residual weight. The scale device has a base and a top weighing pan above it, with a linkage supported between the base and the top pan. A counterbalanc... | 09/04/2001 |
| 5703334 | Load measuring device with a load cell and method for introducing a load into the load cell A load to be measured is transmitted to a load cell, such as a compression load cell, through a double piston, single cylinder load transmitter that has a pressure chamber between two pistons in the single cylinder. One piston bears against the load. The ... | 12/30/1997 |
| 5133420 | Bearing support for a scale platform A weighing scale having a load receiving platform which delivers forces to a force collecting lever system mounted on the scale base by means of self adjusting bearing members projecting downwardly from said platform and secured to said platform by assemb... | 07/28/1992 |
| 4597458 | Electric balance with adjustable relative precision A balance having a setting means with which the relative precision of the weighing result is to be determined can be set by the user. The balance then adapts automatically to the set relative precision. This adaptation can occur, e.g., in the number of po... | 07/01/1986 |
| 4533008 | Livestock scale A livestock scale has a weighing platform supported by a support apparatus and is vertically movable relative thereto.
