Abstract
A letter weighing device has a slidable fulcrum to indicate the exact weight of a letter or the like being weighed. The letter weighing device has an elongate member having upper and lower elongate surfaces, the upper elongate surface supporting two spaced apart and substantially parallel resilient ribs extending longitudinally along the elongate member so as to define a recess therebetween. Further, at least a portion of each rib extends in a direction generally toward the other rib. A fulcrum member is mounted upon the upper surface so as to be moveable along the length of the elongate member. The fulcrum member supports the elongate member from above. Additionally, a parallel pair of ribs define a recess therebetween in which additional items can be stored.
Claims21
A letter weighing device comprising an elongate member having upper and lower elongate surfaces, the upper elongate surface supporting two spaced apart and substantially parallel resilient ribs extending longitudinally along the elongate member so as to define a recess therebetween, at least a portion of each rib extending in a direction generally towards the other rib, a fulcrum member mounted upon the upper surface between said ribs so as to be moveable along the length of the elongate member, said fulcrum member supporting the elongate member from above, and a clip adjacent one end of the elongate member by means of which a letter can be secured to the elongate member so as to be suspended therebeneath when the elongate member is supported from above by the fulcrum member.
