A combination scale, comprising: a plurality of hoppers to be combined configured to temporarily store and then discharge articles thrown therein; two collecting chutes (13,14) disposed below the plurality of the hoppers, the two collecting chutes (13,14) adapted to collect the articles selectively discharged from a combination of the hoppers that store therein the articles having a weight that falls within a predetermined weight range and to discharge the collected articles through discharge ports (13a,14a) at lower ends thereof; and an upper collection hopper configured to temporarily store the articles discharged and thrown therein through the discharge ports (13a,14a) of the two collecting chutes (13,14) and then to discharge the articles in diagonally downward directions; the upper collection hopper comprises two storage chambers that store therein the articles (23, 24), respectively, the two storage chambers (23,24) are integrally coupled into a single unit with a partition wall interposed therebetween as a boundary, one of the storage chambers (23,24) is adapted to discharge the stored articles in the diagonally downward direction defined as a first direction, and another one of the storage chambers (23,24) adapted to discharge the stored articles in the diagonally downward direction defined as a second direction, the storage chambers (23,24) of the upper collection hopper respectively have upper openings facing discharge ports (13a,14a) of the two collecting chutes (13,14), lower openings through which the articles are to be discharged in the first direction or the second direction, and gates (28,29) that are adapted to open and close the lower openings, characterized by a lower collection hopper configured to temporarily store the articles discharged and thrown therein from the upper collection hopper and then to discharge the articles vertically downward, wherein the lower collection hopper comprises a single storage chamber that is adapted to temporarily store therein the articles discharged from the storage chambers (23,24) of the upper collection hopper and then to discharge the articles vertically downward, shapes in top view of the upper openings of the storage chambers (23, 24) are semi-elliptical which are two halves of the elliptical shape with the partition wall, and the gates (28, 29) which open and close the lower openings of the storage chambers (23, 24) of the upper collection hopper are supported on and oscillate around a common supporting point shaft, such that when one of the gates (28,29) opens the lower opening of one storage chamber, the other gate closes the opening of the other storage chamber. a plurality of hoppers to be combined configured to temporarily store and then discharge articles thrown therein;
