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 data is evaluated with said standard body weight, and said standard range and the measured body weight are compared to determine whether said measured body weight is "normal weight" , "overweight", or "underweight", which determination is displayed by individual lamps, if desired, said standard body weight being also displayed by said display.
