Claim 17:
18. A method of generating weight measurement data corresponding to one or more objects, the method comprising:
receiving a weight force corresponding to an object weight generated by one or more objects at a receiving tray;
transmitting the weight force to a lever assembly operatively connected to the receiving tray, the lever assembly comprising a plurality of levers, wherein each lever of the plurality of levers extends from a respective first side of the receiving tray, underneath a central portion of a bottom surface of the receiving tray, towards a respective opposite side of the receiving tray, wherein each of the plurality of levers comprises a respective first lever end comprising an at least substantially fixed configuration and a respective second lever end engaged with the receiving tray, wherein each lever of the plurality of levers extends from the respective first lever end to the respective second lever end along a respective horizontal plane across at least a portion of an internal housing portion defined by a housing, and wherein the lever assembly further comprises a lever alignment component configured to partially constrain the movement of each of the plurality of levers;
generating a collective lever force based at least in part on a configuration of the plurality of levers of the lever assembly, the collective lever force corresponding at least in part to the weight force;
transmitting the collective lever force to a force sensor operatively connected to the lever assembly;
generating force sensor data based at least in part on the collective lever force received by the force sensor; and
generating weight measurement data based at least in part on the force sensor data, wherein the weight measurement data comprises the object weight of the at least one object;
wherein a portion of each of the plurality of levers extends through the lever alignment component such that the plurality of levers is arranged in a vertical stack configuration.
