Abstract:
Bed scale having a plurality of measuring feet each of which can support one leg of the bed and is provided with force transducer which delivers a signal representing the weight force acting on the measuring foot, and an evaluation device which is connected to transmission devices in the measuring feet for receiving up the signals and is prepared to deliver based on the signals and is prepared to deliver based on the signals of the measuring feet a result dependent on the weight force bearing thereon, characterized in that each measuring foot has an angle lever arrangement displaceable on the floor on sliding elements (5), which swivellably bears at a shorter lever arm (8) a rocker (1) which can be pushed laterally onto a leg of the bed standing on the floor to engage it, the angle lever arrangement and the suspension mounting of the rocker (1) being arranged such that, upon pressing-down of the activating lever (2), the rocker (1) is lifted and its suspension mounting (9) can be moved out beyond the dead centre in which the suspension mounting (9) of the rocker (1) lies vertical above the sliding elements (5) of the angle lever arrangement.
