ABSTRACT:
A simple, inexpensive weighing device having only one part which moves relative to the remainder of the device can be constructed utilizing a body shaped so that it will rock relative to a supporting surface when an object is placed in a holder forming a part of the body. A pendulum type pointer is pivotally mounted on the body so that the approximate weight of the object can be determined by visual inspection of the position of the pointer relative to appropriate indicia on the body. The body is shaped so that the amount that it will rotate when an object is placed upon a holder is limited to such an extent that the horizontal distance between the object and the center of rotation of the pendulum does not change significantly so as to achieve a desired degree of accuracy in the weight indicated by the position of the pendulum.
