Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

The present invention relates to a scale. For example, when calculating calories using a scale and writing down the results of the calculation,
It's easy to lose a pencil for taking notes while weighing or counting calories. Therefore, the present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a scale that allows the zero point of a measuring scale to be easily aligned with a pointer. Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 indicates a scale exterior case, and 2 indicates a scale mechanism placed in the center of the case 1, which includes a roberval mechanism (not shown) and a measuring spring (not shown).
and the L-shaped plate 2a supported by the Roberval mechanism.
and has. 3 is a weighing tray, and a protrusion 3a at the center of the lower surface is connected to the L-shaped plate 2a. Further, a display window 4 is provided along the entire circumference between the outer circumferential portion of the weighing pan 3 and the outer wall portion 1a of the exterior case 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes an annular groove formed on the outer edge of the upper end of the outer wall portion 1a of the exterior case 1, and 7 is a transparent cylinder made of synthetic resin disposed in the display window 4, which is placed on the outer wall portion 1a. A protrusion 7a formed on the inner peripheral edge of the lower end of the annular groove 5 is fitted into the annular groove 5. 7b is transparent cylinder 7
A knurled part 9 is formed along the circumferential direction at the lower part of the outer circumferential surface of the machine, and 9 is a pencil holder and knob protruding from the processed part 7b, and the lower recess for inserting the tip of the pencil 6 is inserted through the knurled part 9. It has a hole 9a. The transparent cylinder 7 can be easily rotated by grasping this pencil holder/knob 9. Reference numeral 8 denotes a cylindrical blind plate made of a synthetic resin material disposed inside the transparent cylinder 7, and a notch 8b formed in the shelf 8a at the upper end of the blind plate 8 has the transparent cylinder 7
A claw portion 7d formed on a projecting portion 7c at the upper end of the cylindrical blind plate 8 is irremovably engaged with the transparent cylinder 7, thereby integrally connecting the cylindrical blind plate 8 and the transparent cylinder 7. Blind plate 8 above
As shown in Fig. 4, a calorie display section A and a mass display section B are directly printed on the outer peripheral surface of the body by hot stamping, silk printing, etc., and the mass display section B has a main mass scale 10 from 0 to 1 kg. In the above calorie display section A, foods used on a daily basis are classified into six basic nutrients in columns (A) to (F), and each column (A) to (F) is divided into six basic nutrients. In f), at the bottom there is a sub mass scale 1 having the same scale width as the main mass scale 10.
1, and above it each food item (for example, in column (a), ``shiyungiku'', ``green pepper'', ``hot pepper'')

[Table] Reference numeral 13 is a rotating arm extending from the scale mechanism section 2, which rotates in conjunction with the vertical movement of the weighing pan 3. A pointer 14 is fixed to the tip of the arm 13 and extends upward within the space between the transparent cylinder 7 and the blind plate 8. The operation of the above configuration will be explained. When weighing, first, grasp the pencil holder/knob 9 and rotate the transparent cylinder 7 to align the zero point of one of the main mass scales 10 with the pointer 14. Next, when an object to be weighed is placed on the weighing tray 3, the weighing spring of the scale mechanism section 2 is expanded and the rotating arm 13 is rotated in proportion to the mass of the object to be weighed. Therefore, it is sufficient to read the mass value on the main mass scale 10 indicated by the pointer 14. Next, if you want to count calories and get only 50 calories from spinach, for example,
First, place the container on the saucer 3, then rotate the transparent cylinder 7 by grasping the pencil holder/knob 9, align the zero point in column (a) with the pointer 14, and perform tare subtraction.
Next, put "spinach" little by little into the container, and when the pointer 14 reaches the 50 calorie mark on the comparison scale 12 for "spinach", stop putting the "spinach" into the container. For example, when calculating the total calories of all the foods used in cooking, it is necessary to note down the calorie value each time each food is weighed. All you have to do is write a memo each time using the pencil 6 placed in the through hole 9a. In the above embodiment, the pencil 6 is placed in the through hole 9a of the pencil holder/knob 9, but it goes without saying that a ballpoint pen, fountain pen, etc. may also be placed therein. As described above, according to the scale of the present invention, a rotary body having measuring scales formed at least along the circumferential direction is rotatably disposed on the scale body, and a pencil holder and knob is provided on the rotary body. By holding a pencil upright in the pencil holder/knob, there is no need to search for a pencil when weighing, calculating calories, or writing notes. Also, there is no need to lose your pencil. Furthermore, by grasping the pencil holder/knob and turning the rotating body, it is possible to easily align the zero point of a metering scale with the pointer.
