Abstract:
Improved personal weighing scales comprising a substantially transparent load platform (2), a mechanism (4) for measuring the load bearing on the platform, a frame (3) for supporting the mechanism support means (15) fixed to the load platform on the side facing the mechanism and bearing on the mechanism in order to transmit thereto the load bearing on the platform, the support means being in the form of appendages (15) projecting from the load platform (2) towards the mechanism (4), as well as connection means between the load platform (2) and the support frame (3), characterized in that the connection means comprise at least one elongate element (16a, 16b) having a first end connected to the frame (3) and a second, opposite end connected directly to the corresponding appendage (15), the connection means and their connection to the load platform and to the respective appendage being such as to prevent detachment of the load platform (2) from the frame (3).
