Weight applying unit for calibration and weight applying method for calibration
First Claim
1. A weight applying unit for calibration used for performing a calibration on a separate weight measuring apparatus having a load platform connected to at least a first load sensor section and a second load sensor section and wherein a weight of a measurement target object placed on the load platform is measured based on a load value detected by each of the load sensor sections, the weight applying unit for calibration comprising:
- a support section for receiving and supporting the weight measuring apparatus;
a deflection generating portion operatively associated with said support section and for generating deflection by applying a predetermined pressure to a load platform surface of the weight measuring apparatus; and
a weight applying section operatively coupled to said support section for controllably and individually applying predetermined loads to at least the first load sensor section and the second load sensor section of said weight measuring apparatus, said weight applying section being operable in a first position to apply no load to the first load sensor section and said second load sensor section and in a second position to apply a predetermined load to said first load sensor section and a predetermined load to said second load sensor section.

Abstract
A weight measuring apparatus, in which a load platform is supported by a plurality of load sensor sections and the weight of a measurement target object placed on the load platform is measured based on a load value detected by each of the plurality of load sensor sections, is supported by a support section. Thereafter, the weight applying section applies a predetermined load to each of the plurality of load sensor sections included in the supported weight measuring apparatus.
