Afterwards an Austrian patent was applied for as well on December 3 1992. This patent with number AT398131 was granted September 26 1994. The patent figure shows apart from the values 20 and 50, also 100 grams as a measuring value. This design looks like a combination of the Linex and the Epistola.
