Diet scale with weight progress indicator
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A diet scale having a weight progress indicator for indicating progress in a diet program comprising:
- weight measuring means for measuring the current weight of the dieter;
memory means for storing an objective weight for the dieter and the time interval of the diet program;
objective weight entry means coupled to said memory means for entering the objective weight in said memory means;
objective time entry means coupled to said memory means for entering the time interval of the diet program in said memory means;
processing means coupled to said memory means and responsive to the current weight for determining the projected weight of the diet program and the difference between the projected weight and the current weight, the projected weight being the calculated weight of the dieter as a function of the elapsed time and objective weight of the diet program; and
display means connected to said processing means for displaying the difference between the projected weight and the current weight.

Abstract
An electronic digital readout diet scale for measuring and displaying weight information. A microcomputer is used to enable a dieter to enter a diet program having an objective weight and a given time interval. The scale will indicate the amount of weight to be lost or gained in order to achieve the objective weight as well as the deviation between the current weight and the projected weight according to the diet program.
