ABSTRACT:
A scale which has a frame that is freely movable about the floor defined by a base having forward and aft ends and a pair of spaced-apart upright posts connected to the base and disposed adjacent the aft end thereof. The weighing mechanism includes a carriage that is vertically movable along the posts and which has a pair of horizontal, forwardly projecting arms that support a weigh-board in its horizontal position. The weigh-board is pivotally attached to one of the arms and means is provided for releasably locking the weigh-board in its upright storage position. A guardrail is rigidly secured to the frame and positioned immediately forward of the carriage so that the scale, with the weigh-board in its horizontal position, can be pushed over a hospital bed for transferring a patient onto or from the weigh-board while preventing any contact between any portion of the weighing mechanism and the bed to prevent inaccurate weight measurements.
