Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is an attempt to display the daily amount of running required to manage a person's weight on a flat scale scale.

This flat scale scale refers to a simple mechanical scale commonly called a health meter, and is widely used in households.

With conventional flat-panel scales, the height or standard weight of the person being weighed can be set to determine whether the person is obese, lean, or normal. Several methods have been proposed that allow users to find out how much the weight of something or a person is over or under compared to their standard or ideal weight. However, all of them were only able to know the extent to which their own body weight was over or under the standard or ideal weight.

On the other hand, if you exercise regularly every day, calories will be burned according to the amount of exercise, so if the amount of exercise is moderate, it will help prevent obesity, or if you are obese, you can gradually lose weight and reach a normal weight. can be approached. Running, in particular, has the advantage that anyone can do it easily and that the amount of exercise can be quantitatively defined by distance traveled or number of steps. However, with the above-mentioned scales, although it is possible to determine the degree of obesity, it is not possible to know the specific amount of exercise that should be performed in order to get closer to a normal weight.

This idea focused on the fact that running is an exercise that anyone can easily perform, and that it has the advantage of making it easy to quantitatively define the amount of exercise. The purpose is to not only display the amount of running, but also to display the amount of running required to bring the current weight closer to the standard weight, thereby making it useful for health management.

This invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments.

The first embodiment is applied to a flat scale weight scale having an annular display window on the stand as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, in which 1 is a rotating scale plate, 2 is a fixed pointer,
3 is a setting board, and 4 is an index. The rotary scale plate 1 is almost the same as the rotary scale plate of a conventional weight scale, and has a weight scale 6 that can display 100 kg per rotation. The difference from the conventional one is that on the rotary scale plate 1, as shown in the figure, there is a calorie increase/decrease scale 16 and a running distance scale 1 in addition to an excess/deficiency scale 17.
This is the point where 8 is marked. The excess/deficiency scale 17 indicates the excess weight in the increasing direction of the weight scale 6 and the insufficient weight in the opposite direction around a predetermined zero point, and the calorie increase/decrease scale 16 makes the predetermined zero point of the excess/deficiency scale 17 the same and increases the weight scale. The scale indicates calorie reduction in one direction, and the calorie increase in the opposite direction. The zero point of the running distance scale 18 is made to coincide with the zero points of the excess/deficiency scale 17 and the calorie scale 16, and the weight scale 6 is graduated in the increasing direction as 1 Km, 2 Km, etc. The excess/deficiency scale 17 is graduated in the same division as the weight scale 6, and the calorie scale 16,
A running distance scale 18 is marked.

The fixed pointer 2 is fixed to the base 5 of the scale and extends above the rotary scale plate 1, and indicates the measured weight and also sets the body scale 7 or the standard weight scale 10 on the setting panel 3. It is.

The platform 9 of this weight scale has an annular window 8 made of a transparent material so that the weight scale 6 of the rotary scale plate 1 and the display can all be seen, and the fixed pointer 2 is displayed as a line in the window. It's getting old. The outer part 8a of the annular window 8 where the weight scale 6 can be seen is fixed like a conventional weight scale, but the inner part 8b is provided so that it can be rotated by a knob 12 and serves as the setting panel 3. ing. Setting board 3 is inside part 8
In b, there is a standard weight scale 10 and a height scale 7 based on the standard weight scale, for example, the standard weight scale is from 0 to
100Kg, and the height scale is graduated from 140cm to 185cm, corresponding to standard weights from 40Kg to 75Kg. This standard weight scale 10 is a scale with the same division so that each scale coincides with the zero point of the rotary scale plate (1).

This setting board 3 is further provided with a fan-shaped transparent window 8c inside the annular window 8, and an indicator 4 is provided in the window 8c. This index 4 is set on the weight scale 6 of the rotary scale plate 1 and the standard weight scale 10 of the plate 3.
are provided so as to coincide with the zero points of the excess/deficit weight scale 17, the calorie increase/decrease scale 16, and the running distance scale 18 provided on the rotary scale board 1.

The weight scale constructed in this manner is used as follows. Assume that the ideal weight of the person being weighed is 65 kg. First, the zero point scale of the rotary scale plate 1 and the fixed pointer 2 are made to match by operating the zero point adjustment knob 11 (see FIG. 1). Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the setting board 3 is rotated using the knob 12 so that the scale of 65 kg on the standard weight scale 10 coincides with the fixed pointer 2. When the person to be weighed stands on the platform 9 in this state, the weight is indicated by the fixed pointer 2 and the scale 6 of the rotary scale plate 1, as shown in FIG. In that case, if 63 kg is indicated, the difference between the current weight and the ideal weight - 2 kg is indicated on the excess/deficit weight scale 17, and the increase/decrease in daily calorie intake + 200 calories to compensate for the difference is indicated on the scale 16. 4 shows. This means that the person is 2 kg less than their ideal weight, and therefore
This means that if you increase your daily calorie intake by 200 calories, you will reach your ideal weight of 65 kg after a few days. Also, if the standard weight of the person being weighed is 65Kg, but the actual weight is 67Kg as shown in Figure 5, this person is 2Kg over their ideal weight and their daily calorie intake is 65Kg.
By cutting 200 calories or running 6 km every day, you will be at your ideal weight after a few days.
It turns out that it weighs 65Kg.

In addition to adjusting the ideal weight to the scale 10 of the setting board 3 on the fixed pointer 2, the height scale 7 may be used. If you match your height, you will also have a standard weight corresponding to that height, and you will need to know the difference between your current weight and your standard weight, the increase or decrease in daily calorie intake, and the amount of running you should do each day to get closer to that standard weight. can be read.

In addition, as a method of use, if there is a large difference between your current weight and your standard weight, you can set your target weight step by step in order to gradually approach your standard weight.
Using the standard weight scale 10, it is possible to read the increase/decrease in calorie intake and the amount of running per day in order to approach the current target weight. In this sense, the scale 10 is a target weight increase/decrease scale.

The first embodiment was a flat scale scale having an annular window 8, but the second embodiment was applied to a flat scale scale having a partial display type window 8A, as shown in FIG. This is what I did. The second embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 6 to 11. In the figures, parts equivalent to those in the first embodiment are designated by the same drawing symbols. In this case, the setting board 3 is covered with a decorative frame 22 and placed on a mounting table 9. The difference from the first embodiment is that standard weights can be set for each gender and age. This takes into consideration the fact that it is statistically known that the standard weight of men and women differs even if they are of the same height, and that it differs depending on age even among men and women of the same sex. As seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, this weight scale is equipped with a platform 9 and a base 5 similarly to the first embodiment. In addition to a normal weight display window 8A and a weight indicator 2, the platform 9 is provided with a setting section 3, and a display window 8c for displaying excess/deficit weight, calories, and running distance.

The weight display is the same as a regular flat scale.
This is performed using a weight scale 6 of 0 to 100 kg graduated on the peripheral edge of the rotary scale plate 1 and a weight indicating pointer 2 of the weight display window 8A.

The setting section 3 is for setting a height or a standard weight corresponding to the height, and includes a first disk 19 and a second disk.
It is composed of a disk 20. 1st disc 1
9 and the second disk 20 are the first disk 1 as shown in the figure.
9 is provided on the inside, and a second disk 20 is provided on the outside, which are relatively rotatably displaceable and concentrically provided. The rotational position of the first disk 19 is restricted, and the second disk 20
is adapted to be rotated by a disc rotation knob 12. A height indicator 26 and a standard weight indicator 21 are provided at appropriate locations on the outer edge of the first disc 19. The height index 26 is ranked A for each body type, which is ranked according to a separate ranking table.
26a and 26 in Figures 8 and 10 in addition to ~E.
They are provided as separate indicators indicated by b, 26c, 26d, and 26e. On the inner edge of the second disk 20, a standard weight scale 10 is provided in the range of 40 to 80 kg, which is graduated in the same direction at the same division angle as the weight scale 6 of the rotary scale plate 1. A height scale 7 is provided on the edge substantially opposite to the standard weight scale 10, and this height scale 7 is used as a height index 26 for each rank.
The standard weight index 21 indicates the standard weight corresponding to each of the heights indicated by a to 26e.

As shown in FIG. 8, the display window 8c has a pointer 4 on its transparent plate, and a rotary scale plate 1.
Calorie scale 16, excess/deficit weight scale 1
7. It is designed to indicate the running distance scale 18. The calorie scale 16 is arranged so that the standard weight indicator 21 indicates 60 kg on the standard weight scale 10 when the pointer 4 matches the weight indicator 2 and the zero point of the rotary scale plate 1 matches the weight indicator 2. In this case, as shown in Fig. 8, the zero point of calorie increase/decrease is set corresponding to the 60 kg scale position of the rotary scale plate 1, and the calorie increase/decrease is set in the decreasing direction of the weight scale.
A calorie scale 16 for reduced calories is scaled in the increasing direction of the weight scale. The relationship between the calorie scale 16 and the weight scale 6 corresponds to the division of the weight scale,
This is a calorie increase or decrease for increasing or decreasing the number of kilograms on the weight scale from the zero point of the calorie scale 16. Also, the weight scale 17 for excess and deficiency is the calorie scale 16.
Match the zero points of 1Kg and 1Kg as in Example 1.
The scale is set to 100 calories as an increase/decrease in calories per hit, and the running distance scale 18 is set to consume 100 calories for 3 km. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 11 indicates a scale zero point adjustment knob, reference numeral 22 indicates a decorative frame, and reference numeral 23 indicates a rank display board. A table shown in FIG. 11 is written on the rank display board 23. The table in the same figure has age categories horizontally and body type categories vertically, and the column where they intersect is labeled as one of A to E, which indicates the rank of that category. It is.

The weight scale constructed in this manner is used as follows. As an example of use, assume that the person to be measured is a male, 40 years old, 168 cm tall, and slender. According to the rank table, the rank is C. Adjust the height scale 7 of 168 cm on the second disk 20 to the index 26c of rank C on the first disk 19. As a result, the indicator 21 indicates that the standard weight of the subject is 63.3 kg. When the person to be measured is placed on the stage 9, the rotary scale plate 1 rotates. As shown in FIG. 9, when the weight indicating pointer 2 indicates 65 kg, the pointer 4 indicates -170 calories, excess weight of 1.7 kg, and running distance of 5.1 km on the display section 8c.
This means that this person is 1.7 kg heavier than the normal weight, and in order to reach the normal weight, the person needs to take in calories every day.
If you eat 170 fewer calories or run 5.1 km every day, you will be at a normal weight.
It shows that it will be 63.3Kg.

As mentioned above, with this flat scale, you can set your height or target weight, and by standing on the platform, you can lose weight to your standard weight or another target weight in addition to your current weight. You can easily find out the daily running distance you need to run.
