The present invention relates to compact portable electronic scale having a
scale lid mechanism which pivots the lid of the scale in a predetermined
controlled manner between a closed position, where the lid overlays the
weighing platform, and an open position, where the lid is pivoted towards
the rear of the scale. The pivot mechanism positions the lid such that
neither the lid nor the hinge interferes with weighing of oversized
objects. Further, the scale includes a removable weighing tray to assist
in weighing loose or oversized objects.
