a first link attached to the vertical structure mount; a second link for attachment to a weighing device; a third link pivotably attached to one of the first link and second link; a fourth link pivotably attached to one of the first and second link. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the second link is configured for attachment to an upper weighing surface of the weighing device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 1, comprising a fifth link pivotably attached to the second link. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 3, comprising a sixth link pivotably attached to the second link. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 4, wherein the third link is pivotably attached to the fifth link, and the fourth link is pivotably attached to the sixth link. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 4, wherein the third link and fourth link are pivotably attached to the first link. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 5, wherein the vertical structure mount is configured to be attached to a wall surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the first link is vertically movable within the vertical structure mount. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the second link is configured for attachment to an upper weighing surface of a weighing device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 9, wherein the second link includes a first extension and a second extension for attachment to the upper weighing surface. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 10, wherein the first extension and the second extension are configured for attachment to the upper weighing surface by adhesive. ### Claim 12 A method for mounting a weighing device to a vertical structure, comprising: attaching a mounting assembly to the weighing device, wherein the mounting assembly comprises a vertical structure mount, a first link attached to the vertical structure mount, a second link for attachment to the weighing device, a third link pivotably attached to the first link, and a fourth link pivotably attached to the first link; placing a weighing device on a horizontal surface a distance from a vertical structure; attaching the vertical structure mount to the vertical structure. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method as recited in claim 12, wherein the attaching the mounting assembly to the weighing device comprises attaching the second link to an upper weighing surface of the weighing device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method as recited in claim 13, comprising attaching the second link to the upper weighing surface with adhesive. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The method as recited in claim 12, comprising: pushing the weighing device toward the vertical structure, such that the mounting assembly allows the weighing device to rotate to a position substantially aligned with the vertical structure. ### Claim 16 A mounting assembly for a weighing device comprising: a vertical structure mount; a first link attached to the vertical structure mount and vertically moveable within the vertical structure mount; a second link for attachment to an upper weighing surface of the weighing device; a third link pivotably attached to the first link; a fourth link pivotably attached to the first link; a fifth link pivotably attached to the second link, wherein the third link is pivotably attached to the fifth link; a sixth link pivotably attached to the second link, wherein the fourth link is pivotably attached to the sixth link, wherein the second link includes an arm portion and a first extension and a second extension extending from an upper surface of the arm portion, the first extension and the second extension are configured to attach to the weighing device, the arm portion includes a second surface extending from the upper surface and configured to abut the weighing device to support the weighing device when the assembly is in an upright stowed position, and one of the arm portion and the vertical structure mount includes at least one hook and the other of the arm portion and the vertical structure mount includes at least one opening configured to receive the hook to lock the assembly in the upright stowed position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the vertical structure mount is configured to be attached to a wall surface. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the second link includes an arm and a pair of extensions that extend from the arm, and the pair of extensions are configured to attach to the weighing device. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 18, wherein the pair of extensions are configured to attach to the weighing device with adhesive. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The mounting assembly as recited in claim 19, wherein the pair of extensions are configured to attach to an upper surface of the weighing device.
