In a combination weighing apparatus (1), a driver (10) is attached to a main body (100) by being inserted into an opening (100A) provided in a lateral surface of the main body, in a direction from an outer side (O) toward an inner side (I) of the main body, a first motor (14), a second motor (13), and a load cell (12) are arranged on the inner side of the main body in relation to a base (11), and in a state where the driver is attached to the main body, at least a portion of the first motor, the second motor, and the load cell is located further on a lower side (L) than a lower edge (E1) of the opening.

A bottle weighing scale having an upper part (2) on which a support face (4) for an item to be weighed is configured, and a lower part (3) on which at least one foot (5) is configured. A determination of weight takes place by a change in the position between the upper part (2) and the lower part (3). The support face (4) of the bottle weighing scale (1) is smaller than a footprint area (6) defined by the at least one foot (5).

A scale apparatus is described. The scale apparatus may include a housing sized to fit within a playing card tuck box; a pressure plate operable to measure a weight of a plurality of objects; a wireless transmitter; and a microcontroller in communication with the pressure plate and the wireless transmitter. The microcontroller may be configured to: continuously measure the weight on the pressure plate; when the weight holds steady for a sequence of measurements, transmit a first weight measurement via the wireless transmitter; measure a change in the weight; and when the change in the weight is steady, transmit a second weight measurement via the wireless transmitter.

A weigh platter assembly includes a weigh platter having a proximal edge and a lateral edge and an off-platter detection assembly. The off-platter detection assembly has an assembly field-of-view (field-of-view) extending from the proximal edge and constrained to have an assembly central field-of-view axis substantially parallel to the lateral edge and at least one lateral boundary substantially adjacent to the lateral edge. A light emission assembly has a light source and emits a light away from the proximal edge. A light detection assembly has a light sensor and detects at least a portion of the light reflected towards the proximal edge. A controller allows the measured weight to be recorded in response to a first value from the light detection assembly and prevents the measured weight from being recorded and/or provides an alert in response to a second value from the light detection assembly.

A laboratory weighing kit comprises two layers: a disposable paper-structured weighing boat in the upper layer and a corresponding-shaped weighing base in the lower layer. The weighing boat has a sample loading portion in the rear to carry chemicals or samples, and a funnel portion in the front to transfer samples. In order to consolidate storage space, either the front funnel can be opened to two portions or the back wall of the weighing boat is opened. The weighing boat can be creased to form a permanent fold. The weighing boat in the upper layer can be either removable from or permanently attached to the weighing base in the lower layer.
