| 20100187022 | PALLET WITH SCALE - An industrial pallet/scale including a platform for supporting a load, having at least three load sensors positioned between and in mechanical communication with the platform and ground. The platform is free of a sheer plate assembly in order to minimize weight of the platform. Each load sensor provides weight data responsive to a downward force relayed from the platform. A display unit in electrical communication with the at least three load cells displays text in response to the weight data of each load cell. The industrial pallet/scale optionally includes load sensors having protection means for protecting the load cells. The protection means functions as a support for the platform, which bears the load of the platform in a protective position. The protection means prevents a pressure member of the load cell from contacting the ground. In a weighing position, the pressure member is coupled directly to the ground, such that the load cell of the load sensor bears the load of the platform. | 07-29-2010 |

The weight monitoring device is mounted on the case body, including a pressure sensor, a transmission unit, and a display module. The pressure sensor is mounted on the case body, and supports the case body when using. When being applied by a pressure, the pressure sensor transmits the pressure to a corresponding electrical signal according to an intension of the pressure. The intension of the electrical signal is corresponding to the intension of the pressure. The transmission unit is electrically connected to the pressure sensor, and transmits the electrical signal into a corresponding weight value. The display module is electrically connected to the transmission unit for display the weight value. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110232973 | WEIGH-IN-MOTION TECHNOLOGY - A pad is disclosed for use in a weighing system for weighing a load. The pad includes a weighing platform, load cells, and foot members. Improvements to the pad reduce or substantially eliminate rotation of one or more of the corner foot members. A flexible foot strap disposed between the corner foot members reduces rotation of the respective foot members about vertical axes through the corner foot members and couples the corner foot members such that rotation of one corner foot member results in substantially the same amount of rotation of the other corner foot member. In a strapless variant one or more fasteners prevents substantially all rotation of a foot member. In a diagonal variant, a foot strap extends between a corner foot member and the weighing platform to reduce rotation of the foot member about a vertical axis through the corner foot member. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20130043080 | LUGGAGE WITH AN INTEGRATED WEIGHT SCALE AND A WEIGHT SCALE - A piece of luggage has a body with a surface. A weight scale has a top surface and is disposed in the body of the luggage. The top surface of the weight scale is coplanar with the surface of the body of the luggage. The weight scale determines a weight of the piece of luggage when in an operating state. When the weight scale is in a non-operating state it is stored safely within the body of the luggage. Most importantly the weight scale does not stick out from the body of the luggage so as to be susceptible to damage during transport of the luggage. | 02-21-2013 |

| 20150136496 | PORTAFILTER AND GROUNDS WEIGHING PLATFORM SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - A device with weighing capability (or “scale feature”) and also anvil capability (or “tapping feature”) allows accurate and precise filling of an espresso portafilter with coffee grounds for use in beverage preparation. Some versions switch between a protected mode for anvil use, and a weighing mode for accurate weighing of the portafilter and its grounds, by pivoting the entire load cell into and out of a protected location wherein tapping/shocks do not flex/strain the load cell free end. In other versions, one or more stop(s)/limit(s) are near the load cell free end or associated elements, and the free end/elements move during said tapping/shocks but only to the stop(s)/limit(s), corresponding to a safe amount of strain for the load cell. Also, this way, weighing the portafilter and its contents may continue between taps without switching to a separate protected mode. | 05-21-2015 |
