摘要：
Apparatus 500 for weighing a person with reduced mobility, the apparatus comprising a seat portion 502, scales 520 for weighing the person when sitting on the seat portion, and a lifting mechanism comprising an actuator 516 to assist the person in standing up. The seat portion may rotate between two angles that define a ‘seated’ position and a ‘standing’ position. The lifting mechanism may have a greater range of movement that the seat portion such that when lowered the lifting mechanism does not contact the seat, such that all weight on the seat is transferred to the scales (figures 8A-C). The lifting mechanism may engage the seat via an actuator guide with an aperture shaped such that actuator has different degrees of movement in different parts of the aperture (figures 12A-D). The apparatus may have an arm, back, or foot rest which may be foldable to provide unobstructed side- and front access to the seat portion.
