ABSTRACT:
A postal type scale (20), such as an electronic scale, capable of weighing a plurality of different size packages (24, 34) comprises a weighing mechanism (26), a platform (22) for supporting a package (24, 34) thereon in a weighing relationship, and a movable weight display (30, 36) slidably mounted to the platform (22) and longitudinally extendable therefrom along a horizontal mounting surface (38) when the platform (22) is supported on the horizontal mounting surface (38). The weight display (30, 36) comprises a horizontal weight display (30, 30b), such as an LCD display (30b), which may be removably mounted to the horizontally movable display mounting member (36) for providing the display (30) at a position remote from the mounting member (36). The weight display (30, 36) is variably extendable beyond the platform edge (32) along the horizontal mounting surface (38) from a display rest position to a plurality of different longitudinal positions beyond the platform edge (32) within a predetermined longitudinal range for enabling the weight display (30, 30b) to be longitudinally moved along the horizontal mounting surface (38) to a variable position for enabling the display (30, 30b) to be readable from above the supported package (24, 34) irrespective of the size of the package (24, 34) within that range.
