Wikipedia
Compound lever
The compound lever is a simple machine operating on the premise that the resistance from one lever in a system of levers acts as effort for the next, and thus the applied force is transferred from one lever to the next. Almost all scales use some sort of compound lever to work. Other examples include nail clippers and piano keys.

compound lever
A compound lever is a system of levers or a mechanical device that consists of two or more levers connected together. The load exerted on the first lever is transferred and amplified to the subsequent levers, allowing a small amount of force or input to move a large load or produce a significant output. This system is often used in machinery and tools to achieve greater mechanical advantage.
