Description
WEIGHING DEVICE FOR SUITCASES nnmni> n fpv ipnn The present invention relates to a weighing device and more particularly to weighing apparatus for suitcases and the like.
Travellers in general and aircraft travellers in particular are aware of weight restrictions imposed by the airline companies concerning the weight of accompanying luggage. It is known that overweight of the luggage is subject to payment to the carrier. To avoid this point, travellers use to weigh their luggage prior to their departure. Such "pre-weighing" is generally effected by small domestic spring containing weighing systems and devices. However/ such devices are not taken with the traveller on his journey thus the traveller will not be able to pre-weigh his luggage before commencing his return journey or any part of it.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a weighing apparatus which could be carried with the luggage and be available anywhere before a traveller sets out on his/her return journey.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a weighing means which could be adapted to be used especially with suitcases.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a device which is an integral part of the carrying handle of a given suitcase.
According to the invention there is provided a weighing device adapted to be used with suitcases and the like which comprises a housing provided with a LCD for displaying an indication of weight and within said housing there is embedded a force transducer or strain gauge unit and an electronic circuit and battery, said housing being adapted to be attached to the carrying handle of a given suitcase.
The invention will now be described with reference to the annexed drawings in which: Fig. 1 is an exploded, perspective illustration of a weighing apparatus according to the invention.
Fig. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the device.
Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the device.
Turning first to Fig. 1 the device comprises a housing 1, provided with a display unit 2 and a force transducer 3 which is placed within housing 1 and secured with screws 4. A cover 5 is placed thereon and secured with screws 6.
Openings 7 and 8 in the housing enable the placing of the device and inserting a suitcase handle therein.
Fig. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the device where all components are placed within a handle 10, display unit 2 is integral with the handle.
Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the electronic parts of the device, namely the display unit 2 which is connected with an electronic circuit 9 which in turn is connected with the force transducer 3, a battery 11 supplies the electrical power to the device. The power is switched on and off by means of switch 12.
The device functions in the following manner: The device is placed in position under a handle of a suitcase 30 and switched on by on/off switch 12. The suitcase is then lifted in the usual manner, resulting in the weight of the suitcase indicated on LCD2. The operation of a built-in device is in the same manner. The weight indication will be seen whenever the suitcase is lifted and the switch is in "on" position. The weight indicated on the display is obtained by the force transducer (or strain gauge) which changes its power output as a function of the load applied thereon.
It will be seen that the new apparatus enables a traveller or any other person to check and verify the real weight of a piece of luggage and so to prevent overweight or to know precisely for what weight he would be liable to payment.
