ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a simple means for a user to determine the weight of a container with its contents before lifting or transporting it, therefore increasing safety for the user, as back strain and other physical discomforts can result from the repetitive lifting and prolonged carrying of containers that are too heavy. Furthermore, the claimed invention is a container with a built-in scale that allows a traveler on a commercial airline, train, bus or watercraft, to determine the weight of container with its contents so that the traveler can compare the weight of the of the container to baggage weight restrictions prior to departure, therefore, saving the traveler time and money.
