    Abstract: A corner bearing assembly for a platform scale of the bathroom variety in which a formed sheet metal bearing has a knife edge to rest on a scale lever and a point or line contact with the cover platform with looseness sufficient to allow the bearing assembly to pivot enough during use to retain proper contact with both cover and scale levers. The bearing assembly is provided with a hanger connection to the cover capable of hand-assembly into a loose generally proper position so that upon physical assembly of the cover onto the base the bearing assemblies in all four corners of the scale automatically seat themselves properly both as to the cover and the scale levers.
