ABSTRACT:
The improved weighing scale support device comprises an upright hand support which may be, for example, generally T-shaped or inverted U-shaped, and means for attaching the hand support to the moveable weighing platform of a scale rather than to the fixed portion of the scale. The support comprises a generally vertical portion and a generally horizontal portion and is preferably adjustable vertically and/or horizontally. For example, it may include as the vertical portion one or a plurality of hollow vertical tubes having vertical rods slideably disposed and adjustably pinned in the tubes. The horizontal portion may include a crossbar to which is hinged a pair of foldable arms. Alternatively, the horizontal portion may be arcuate with fixed arms bearing handles. The hand support attaching means may be a sleeve slideable over the top, back, front and a portion of the bottom of the moveable weighing platform of a scale. The sleeve can have a closed end and a closeable opposite open end. The hand support can be specially configured to represent a vehicle, winged horse, upright human or animal or the like. In the case of a human or animal figure, the figure's forwardly extended hands are adapted to be gripped by the patient. The device is simple and inexpensive and is adapted to permit safe weighing of children, invalids and the like.
