Abstract
A medical patient weighing scale is disclosed which comprises an elongated, flat, rigid pan, a plurality of thin, electronic bending beam load cells mounted in the pan, and a rigid, elongated, flat cover freely supported on the load cells. The cover is of sufficient size to support a patient in a supine position. The weighing scale is extremely thin, and may be conveniently mounted or stored when not in use. Accurate weight measurements are provided almost instantaneously on a digital display on the cover.
