The supporting member is a single, integral piece of said material. A weighing scale includes a first supporting member, a load cell supported by the first supporting member. The scale also includes a second supporting member, that is identical to the first and supported by the load cell and is identical to the first supporting member. The second supporting member supports a scale platform. Another weighing scale includes three identical supporting members and the load cells. A first supporting member supports a first load cell.
