The scale may include a base supportable on a surface, a measuring mechanism supported by the base and operable to measure a characteristic of an object, the measuring mechanism including a measuring platform on which the object is supportable, and an indicator supported by the housing, the indicator being operable to provide feedback to a user relating to a measured characteristic of the object. In some aspects, the scale may include a housing supported by the base, the housing cooperating with the base to cover at least a portion of the measuring mechanism, and a connecting assembly operable to removably connect the housing to the base. In some aspects, the scale may include a resistance device coupled to at least one of the indicator and the measuring mechanism and operable to resist oscillation of the indicator at least one of during a measurement and after a measurement. In some aspects, the scale may include a cylinder supported by the housing, and a piston connected to the platform for movement with the platform, the piston engaging the cylinder to provide a piston and cylinder assembly, the assembly being operable to resist movement of the platform at least one of during a measurement and after a measurement.

Scale with removable housing

A medical scale for determining the weight of a person where the person is one of self-supported, partially self-supported, and supported by a support device, such as a wheelchair. In some embodiments, the scale is provided with wheels to be portable. Also, some scales can be folded, pivoted, or adjusted into a more compact structure to be moved or stored. Some embodiments include an interface that can be swivelable and/or pivotable to allow the display to be viewed from a variety of directions. Some embodiments can also communicate with a network. The scale can also have individual adjustable load cells. The scale can also be configured to accept a Swipe card, smart card, or light pen to match patient identification with a measured weight.

Portion of a scale

Measuring device

A downloadable postage rate calculating device including a platform for receiving a parcel and providing a weight for the parcel, and a processor configured to receive current rates information downloaded from a computer or other similar device. The processor calculates a postage amount for the parcel based on at least a portion of the current rates information and the weight of the parcel. The processor can also compare the postage amount for a first carrier and shipping method, with that of a second carrier and shipping method, or between two shipping methods offered by the same carrier.
