1. A system for determining and displaying a weight, comprising:
- a support from which an object may hang;
a load cell physically coupled to said support for providing an electrical signal indicative of a weight of an object on said support;
a wireless transmitter for receiving a load cell output signal from said load cell indicative of a weight on said object support and for wirelessly transmitting a signal representative of said weight; and
a receiving unit comprising a wireless receiver for receiving said wirelessly transmitted signal and a display for displaying a weight value received by said wireless receiver.

14. A method for providing a weight of an object supported on an object support for supporting a hanging object, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving from a load cell coupled between the object support and a block having at least one pulley mounted thereon to rotate an output signal representing a detected weight on the object support; wirelessly transmitting a signal representing the detected weight; receiving the wirelessly transmitted signal at a remote unit; and displaying the detected weight at the remote unit. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method of weighing an object, comprising the steps of:
-
causing the object to be supported in a hanging orientation by an object support; causing a load cell physically coupled to said object support to generate an output signal indicative of the weight of a load on the object support, and a signal indicative of the weight to be wirelessly transmitted; and reviewing a weight displayed on a remote unit that has received the wirelessly transmitted signal. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
