Abstract: A tray in combination with a weighing scale is provided wherein the tray is elongated and the support for the weighing platform of the weighing scale is adapted to rest on a flat, horizontal surface, the tray having a skirt extending downwardly at least partially around the weighing platform and terminating a fraction of an inch from the flat, horizontal surface on which the scale rests, whereby elongated and sometimes squirming objects such as babies can be weighed without tipping or over-turning the tray.
Abstract: A housing is mounted on a base and formed with an open-topped depression adapted to receive a baby to be weighed. Weighing means and weight-indicating means are provided, which are responsive to a weight applied to said housing. The housing has two side walls, which define said depression on opposite sides thereof and each of which has at its top a continuous grip flange and is formed under said grip flange with an opening which together with said grip flange constitutes a carrying handle and is defined by a sparlike grip portion formed by said grip flange.
