Patent ID: 7279644

Claim:
A method of correcting the weights of off-weight products within a continuous supply of products, comprising the steps of successively conveying a series of products to a weighing scale positioned to weigh each product as the product passes across the scale, sensing the weight of each product with the weighing scale, successively conveying the series of weighed products from the weighing scale along a generally linear path of a conveyor, positioning an elongated scrolling message display unit adjacent the linear path of the conveyor, displaying on the display unit weight information characters corresponding to the weights of the products sensed by the scale, and moving the weigh information character corresponding to the weight of each product longitudinally on the display unit and in synchronism with the flow of the product along the linear path of the conveyor to provide for efficiently correcting the weight of each off-weight product according to a predetermined weight for the product while the products are moving on said conveyor.
