Abstract
Abstract A weighing scale of the type comprising a scale is disclosed wherein the weighing scale is table for bearing the thing to be measured; a first hydraulic cylinder disposed below the scale table; a feeler transmitting the pressure applied at the scale table to the first hydraulic cylinder; a second hydraulic cylinder connected to the first hydraulic cylinder by a pipe and disposed at a level below the first hydraulic cylinder to bear the pressure transmitted through the feeler; a probe forced to make a linear displacement corresponding to the amount of the pressure transmitted from the first hydraulic cylinder to said second hydraulic cylinder; and an electronic inductor to detect the range of the linear displacement and convert it into a corresponding digital data for display.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A weighing scale comprising: a scale table for bearing an object to be measured; a plurality of Z-bars supporting said scale table at corners thereof; a first hydraulic cylinder disposed below said scale table; a feeler disposed between said scale table and said first hydraulic cylinder for transmitting pressure applied at said scale table to said first hydraulic cylinder; a second hydraulic cylinder connected to said first hydraulic cylinder by a pipe, said second hydraulic cylinder being disposed at a level below said first hydraulic cylinder to bear the pressure being tranmitted through said pipe as sensed by said feeler; a probe forced to make a linear displacement corresponding to an amount of the pressure transmitted from said hydraulic cylinder to said second hydraulic cylinder; and electronic inductor means to detect a range of the linear displacement of said probe and convert said displacement into a corresponding digital data for display.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
The weighing scale of claim 1, wherein each of said first and second hydraulic cylinders is comprised of a cylindrical container, a cover plate covered on said cylindrical container at a top thereof, and a gasket retained between said cover plate and said cylindrical container, said gasket having a circular diaphragm at a center thereof for holding said feeler or said probe respectively.
