Space Saving Folding Scale
view source
US Patent:

6441323, Aug 27, 2002
Filed:

Sep 29, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/675520
Inventors:

James G. Montagnino - St. Charles IL 60174
Ricardo Murguia - Berwyn IL 60402
Anson Wong - Glendale Heights IL 60139
International Classification:

G01G 2100
US Classification:

177126, 177127
Abstract:

A space saving folding scale includes a frame, a measurement device, an opening mechanism and a display. The frame includes a base, lateral supports attached to the base, and a horizontal support attached to the lateral supports. The horizontal support includes a handle. The measurement device includes a weighing mechanism and a case housing the weighing mechanism. The opening mechanism is attached to the case and the frame so as to permit the measurement device to alternate between vertical and horizontal positions. The display is coupled to the measurement device and located at any easily visible location on the scale when the measurement device is ready for use in the horizontal position, such as on the horizontal support, the handle, or a top surface of the weighing mechanism. The display may be digital or analog.

US Patent:

6583369, Jun 24, 2003
Filed:

Apr 10, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/829716
Inventors:

James G. Montagnino - St. Charles IL
Anson Wong - Glendale Heights IL
Ricardo Murguia - Berwyn IL
Monique Chatterjee - Chicago IL
Elliott Hsu - Chicago IL
Greg Holderfield - Chicago IL
Randall Bell - River Forest IL
Dan Peterson - Chicago IL
Assignee:

Sunbeam Products, Inc. - Boca Raton FL
International Classification:

G01G 2330
US Classification:

177177, 177178, 177181, 177240, 177262
Abstract:

A scale with a transiently visible display includes: an enclosure having an upper surface; a measurement device disposed in the enclosure; and a display coupled to the measurement device and attached to the enclosure beneath the upper surface, the display displaying a measurement value only when the display is an active state. Activation of the measurement device places the display in the active state whereas deactivation removes the display from the active state. The enclosure obscures the display from visibility when the display is not in the active state. Optionally, the scale may include a facade beneath the upper surface and a shutter adjacent the facade and covering the display, the shutter being coupled to the measurement device. The shutter opens to reveal the display during activation. The enclosure obscures the facade and the shutter from recognition when the measurement device is not in the active state.

US Patent:

6646209, Nov 11, 2003
Filed:

Apr 13, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/835247
Inventors:

James G. Montagnino - St. Charles IL
Anson Wong - Glendale Heights IL
Ricardo Murguia - Berwyn IL
Shawn Barrett - Grayslake IL
Assignee:

Pelstar, L.L.C. - Bridgeview IL
International Classification:

G01G 136
US Classification:

177126, 177171, 177246, 177247, 33512
Abstract:

A beam scale for measurement of body weight and height according to the present invention includes a frame and a weighing mechanism. The frame includes a base assembly, a pillar assembly, and a horn assembly. The weighing mechanism is housed within the frame and includes a beam, weights, and a lever assembly. The horn assembly may include a transparent holding bracket having a level indicator. The scale may include a height measurement assembly having a height rod, a sheath supported by the horn assembly and the pillar assembly, a measuring arm, and a transparent height-measuring window having a line indicator. The frame may include a quick assembly mechanism to secure the pillar assembly to the base assembly during final assembly, quiet wheels for transport, and/or handle bars to support the user. Much of the frame may be made of pigmented thermoplastic or thermoset materials to reduce manufacturing costs and scale weight.

Scale With Structural Mat

US Patent:

6759605, Jul 6, 2004
Filed:

Feb 8, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/072218
Inventors:

James G. Montagnino - St. Charles IL
Anson Wong - Boca Raton FL
Ricardo Murguia - Berwyn IL
Assignee:

Sunbeam Products, Inc. - Boca Raton FL
International Classification:

G01G 2128
US Classification:

177238, 177262, 403 24, 4282921
Abstract:

A platform scale cover is reinforced with one or more scale mats formed of a fiber filled polyester thermoset plastic material (FFP). The mats can be securely and rigidly fixed to scale covers using conventional mechanical fasteners. The FFP can be molded with textures, colors and grain patterns which closely simulate natural materials such as marble, granite and other stone and brick type materials. Sturdy mountings can be molded on the mats to facilitate mounting the mat to a scale platform.
