ABSTRACT:
A scale balancing device for balancing the weight of a scale of a universal parallel ruler, having a head structure having a rotating scale support rotatably mounted thereon on which the scales are carried, the scale support and scales having a center of gravity when the scale is horizontal spaced horizontally from the axis of rotation of the scale support, a rotating member rotatably mounted on the head structure separate from the rotating support, the rotating member and the scale support being rotatably interlocked, an eccentric member on the rotating member, a spring member having one end connected to the eccentric member and the other end connected to the head structure and tensioned for providing a torque on the rotating member in a direction which substantially cancels out the torque on the rotating member from the weight of the scales, the point of interlocking of the rotating member and the scale support being on the side of the scale support toward the center of gravity when the scale is in the horizontal position for causing the point of action of the torque from the rotating member to act upwardly at a point toward the center of gravity from the axis of rotation of the scale support.
