Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A weight and height measuring apparatus comprising in combination a base, a weight responsive movable platform mounted on said base, a hollow pillar mounted on said base and haviNg openings in the sides thereof, a first housing on one side of said pillar providing an enclosed space communicating with one of said openings in said pillar, a second housing on another side of said pillar providing an enclosed space communicating with another of said openings in said pillar, weighing mechanism in said first housing connected through one said opening in said pillar to said platform, and height measuring means in said pillar and said second housing and extending through another said opening in said pillar.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A weight and height measuring apparatus comprising in combination a base, a weight responsive movable platform mounted on said base, a hollow pillar mounted on said base and haviNg openings in the sides thereof, a first housing on one side of said pillar providing an enclosed space communicating with one of said openings in said pillar, a second housing on another side of said pillar providing an enclosed space communicating with another of said openings in said pillar, weighing mechanism in said first housing connected through one said opening in said pillar to said platform, and height measuring means in said pillar and said second housing and extending through another said opening in said pillar.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said first housing encloses a variable inductance transducer which generates a signal in response to weight on said platform.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said second housing encloses a variable resistance transducer which generates a signal in response to height as measured by said height measuring means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
89 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said first housing encloses a linear variable differential transformer which generates a signal in response to weight on said platform and said second housing encloses a variable resistance transducer which generates a signal in response to height as measured by said height measuring means, the output of said transformer and the output of said voltmeter being connected to a common remote digital read-out means operable to deliver weight readings in pounds and kilograms and height readings in inches and centimeters.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
51 words
In a weight and height measuring apparatus, the combination of weighing means including a variable inductance transducer and height measuring means including a variable resistance transducer, and a single digital read-out unit connected to the outputs of said transducers whereby weight and height can both be read on said read-out unit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
In a weight and height measuring apparatus, the combination of weighing means including a variable inductance transducer and height measuring means including a variable resistance transducer, and a single digital read-out unit connected to the outputs of said transducers whereby weight and height can both be read on said read-out unit.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 5 in which said read-out unit is remote.
