摘要： An apparatus which measures the body weight of an individual, comprising a platform (18) for supporting the individual to be weighed; a plurality of sensors (29) disposed within the platform for sensing a force exerted on the platform (18) indicative of the weight of the individual and generating an analog signal proportional to the sensed force; electronic means (50) for combining the analog signals from the plurality of sensors to form a combined electronic signal indicative of the weight of the individual; a processor (80) for generating a digital signal (72) based on the electronic signal for driving an electromechanical actuator (30) for displaying the measured body weight on a display device, the display device comprising a graduated dial having at least one concentrically arranged scale and a rotatable pointer (34A, 34B), the pointer driven in rotation by the actuator (80) according to the processor to a position on the gratuated dial which corresponds to the measured body weight of the individual.
