The upright support part 4 is attached to a plurality of sensors 41 in a lattice shape, as shown in the figure, detects the size of the postal matter and outputs it to the controller 96. Since the postal matter 10 introduced into the upright support 4 is inclined over the upright support 4 and is disposed on the weighing table 5, the postal mail 10 is inclined at the center of gravity S by an angle θ. The component force F1 is produced. By measuring the inclination angle of the postal matter 10 by the sensor 41, it is possible to obtain the total weight of the postal matter 10 by obtaining the component force through an algorithm. That is, Wcos θ = F1, Wsin θ = F2, and it is necessary to decrease θ. When θ converges to 0, cosθ, that is, the F1 component is negligible, and only the component of F2 becomes the weight W of the mail item 10. It is necessary to reduce the angle of inclination of the postal matter by reducing the width L of the upright support 4, but most of the postal matters have little effect on the weight because the component force F1 is insignificant. In this way, the upright support part 4 is capable of vertically measuring the weight of the postal matter when the postal material is put in, thus reducing the overall size or cost of the apparatus.
