ABSTRACT:
A scale wherein a platform is mounted on and is movable and/or deformable with reference to a base in response to the application of a load, such as the weight of a person standing on the platform. A strain gauge is mounted on a plate-like carrier on the base or directly at the underside of the platform, and its resistor is a thick film conductor whose resistance changes proportionally with the magnitude of the load which is applied to the platform. Such change of resistance is used to change the position of a pointer with reference to a scale which is calibrated to indicate the magnitude of the applied load.
