Abstract
An extension platform for a beam balance scale and the combination of such a platform with a beam balance scale. The extension platform includes a generally planar upper surface and a lower surface having a grid of reinforcing ribs formed thereon subdividing the lower surface into a plurality of compartments. The lower surface is given a seating projection which depends therefrom and is configured and dimensioned to snap in place over the peripheral rim of the load-receiving platform of a beam balance scale of preselected size. The beam balance scale is thus rendered more accurate when used in the weighing of fibrous low bulk density materials.

An extension platform for a beam balance weighing scale comprising:
- a generally planar upper surface;
- a lower surface provided with a grid of reinforcing ribs thereon subdividing said lower surface into a plurality of compartments;
- and a seating projection depending from said lower surface configured and dimensioned for seating about the peripheral edge of the weighing platform of a beam balance scale of predetermined size.
In a beam balance scale having a base, a beam fulcrum post mounted on said base, at least one beam balance mounted pivotably on said beam fulcrum post and a load-receiving platform and support therefor pivotably balanced on said at least one beam the improvement comprising in combination with said scale an extension platform having a generally planar upper surface, a lower surface provided with a grid of reinforcing ribs thereon subdividing said lower surface into a plurality of compartments, and a seating projection depending from said lower surface and configured and dimensioned for seating about the peripheral edge of the weighing platform of a beam balance scale of predetermined size.
