<p>The bottom of the suitcase would be equipped with a pressure activated weighing device 11. This component would be connected to a LCD screen positioned along the upper edge of the suitcase 12. The LCD screen would be equipped with an on/off switch and the display unit calibrated to indicate the weight. To utilize the device the suitcase would have to stand upright on its pressure sensitive legs 13. The display screen activation switch is engaged and the weight is indicated on the LCD screen. With this configuration, the suitcase with built in weighing mechanism would serve as a convenient device to use when preparing for a trip to assure that the weighing of the suitcase does not exceed the limits of the carrier on which one is traveling, thus for example, rather than facing the situation of arriving for check in on an airport only to find that one's suitcase is over the allowance weight limit.</p> |
