Variable proportionate beam scale for proportioning baking recipes

Abstract

A pivot assembly () is movably connected to a balance beam () between a first and second balancing area (). The pivot assembly () defines a pivot axis (B) being movable relative to a center axis (A) to define a first variable pivot distance (Pd) and a second variable pivot distance (Pd) for proportioning a first and second component according to the concurrently and inversely variable first and second pivot distances (Pd, Pd). The balance beam () presents a proportioning scale () which includes a plurality of identical ratios () in scale of the first variable pivot distance (Pd) to the second variable pivot distance (Pd) for aligning the pivot assembly () with a desired ratio of the first and second components. A first and second pair of retainer walls () extend upwardly from the respective balancing areas () and diverge from one another for abutting and centering a variety of container sizes on the respective balancing areas ().
