Definitions

  • This invention relates to a vice and a worktop particularly adapted for use with the vice.
  • the present invention is also concerned with a workbench incorporating the adapted worktop.
  • a vice generally comprises a fixed jaw and a movable or adjustable jaw between which can be gripped a workpiece, the fixed jaw being bolted or otherwise secured to a workbench with the movable jaw tied to the fixed jaw by guides such as rods and/or slides but movable towards or away from the fixed jaw by an adjusting screw.
  • the vice is bodily immobilised in, or restricted to, a predetermined position on the workbench and is also restricted in its gripping capacity by its dimensions, i.e. its gripping width (transverse length of the jaws) and gripping length (spacing between the jaws).
  • a vice comprising separate fixed and movable jaws between which a workpiece can be gripped, the jaws being adapted to be disposed in cooperating working relationship by being removably and adjustably located in predetermined positions on a worktop.
  • a worktop adapted to receive and locate separate fixed and movable vice jaws in spaced apertures in the worktop surface.
  • the worktop surface presents a multiplicity of apertures to permit separate and movable vice jaws to be located in different longitudinal and/or transversal working relationships.
  • the worktop is preferably supported, when in use, by a collapsible or foldable leg arrangement to provide a workbench.
  • the workbench may incorporate under the worktop and supported thereby and by the leg arrangement a shelf and saw block assembly.
  • the workbench comprises a worktop 20 supported by a collapsible or foldable undercarriage or leg arrangement 21 which also supports a shelf/saw block assembly 22.
  • the worktop 20 is designed to receive andlocate a.vice according to the invention.
  • the worktop 20 and shelf/saw block assembly 22 are formed of a rigid plastics material, for example of moulded polypropylene, while the undercarriage 21 is of metal construction.
  • the vice is distinguished by the fact that it consists of two completely separate units, namely a fixed jaw 23 and a movable or adjustable jaw 24, which are brought together in a cooperative working relationship by being removably and adjustably received in a selected two of a multiplicity of locations defined by the configuration of the worktop 20.
  • the fixed jaw 23 (Figs. 10 and 11) is a single jaw, that is it has a workpiece gripping face of a length equal to or substantially so to the gripping face length of a movable jaw 24.
  • the fixed jaw 23 is formed of aluminium although it may be moulded from a plastics material. It is of unitary construction and comprises a workpiece-gripping body 25 with a grooved configuration 26 along and adjacent its top edge, rearwardly-extending strengthening ribs 27 and a central depending hook-like formation 28 which serves to locate the fixed jaw 23 in the worktop 20 as will be later described.
  • Figs. 12 and 13 illustrate a double fixed jaw 23A and parts similar to those of Figs. 10 and 11 have the same references with the suffix "A".
  • the difference between fixed jaws 23 and 23A is that the latter has a gripping face length equal at least twice that of the gripping face length of the movable jaw 24.
  • the movable jaw 24 (see in particular Fig. 9) comprises an elongate body 29 of aluminum by means of which it is located in the worktop 20 as will be described later.
  • the body 29 is of channel configuration, open at its top and closed at both ends.
  • the leading end of the body 29, i.e. the end which is inboard of the worktop edge when the movable jaw 24 is mounted on the latter, is closed by a wall 30 which is inclined downwardly and rearwardly and which has two lateral extensions 31.
  • the rear end of the body 29 is closed by a vertical wall 32.
  • a steel screw 33 is rotatably disposed within the channel of the body 29, the screw ends being supported by the wall 30 and 32 and extending through the wall 32 to receive and mount an operating handle 34.
  • the movable jaw 24 also has a workpiece-gripping body 35 integral with a bottom support member 36 which lies within the channel of the elongate body 29 and which has a screw-threaded bore through which the screw 33 extends.
  • the gripping body 35 has a. grooved configuration 37 along and adjacent its upper edge and also rear strengthening ribs 38.
  • the elongate body 29 has intermediate its ends a depending formation 39 (see Fig. 6) which may be provided by pressing out the metal of the body 29. The purpose of this projection will be described later.
  • the movable jaw 24 may be wholly or partly formed of plastics material.
  • the worktop 20 is moulded from plastics material, for example of polypropylene, with a peripheral lip 40 depending from its upper surface 41 and has an underside of ribbed configuration as is generally indicated at 42 (see Fig. 6).
  • the worktop 20 is moulded with a multiplicity of through-apertures 42 in the form of slots laid out in a predetermined arrangement and each of which is adapted to receive a hook-like formation 28 of a fixed jaw 23 to locate the latter on the worktop 20.
  • the spacing between certain of these slots 42 is such as to accommodate the laterally-spaced hook-like formations 28A of a double fixed jaw 23A (see for example slots 42A).
  • the ribbed configuration of the worktop 20 and the complementary shape of the hook-like formation 28 (or 28A) is such (see Fig. 8) that pressure of a workpiece (not shown) against the gripping body 25 resulting from the action of a movable jaw 24 on the workpiece tends to push the fixed jaw 23 in the direction of the arrow P and so urge the formation 28 against and under the rear rib configuration 43 defining one wall of the slot 42 in question.
  • the worktop 20 is also formed with a number of elongate recesses 44 extending inwardly from the peripheral edge of the worktop 20 and as with the slots 42 laid out in a predetermined arrangement. Eachof these recesses 44 is configured to accommodate an elongate body 29 of a movable jaw 24. Each recess 44 intermediate its ends is apertured as indicated at 45 to receive the depending projection 39 of the elongate body 29 of a movable jaw 24. Each recess 44 at its leading (i.e. inboard) end terminates in an elongate transverse slot 46 having a rear downwardly inclined wall 47 against which the front wall 30 and lateral extensions 31 of the elongate body 29 of a movable jaw 24 abut.
  • the movable jaw 24 is slid into a recess 44 at an angle (see arrow A, Fig. 6) and pushed rearwardly (i.e. outboard) until the projection 39 engages in the aperture 45. This engagement resists longitudinal movement of the elongate body 29 relative to the worktop 20 when a movable jaw 24 is being operated.
  • a through-aperture 48 of rectangular configuration and of relatively substantial dimensions is formed adjacent one end of the worktop 20 and serves to receive and mount and serve as a working area for a tool such for example as an electrical drill or a power saw.
  • Recesses 44 and associated slots 46 are infilled, when not in use, by blanking-off pieces 49 which are dimensionally identical to the elongate bodies 29 although they are solid and not of channelled configuration.
  • rectangular aperture 48 which may be disposed in either of the two ways shown in Fig. 1 is filled-in, when not in use, by a blanking-off member 50 (shown inverted in Fig. 1).
  • a recess 51 which mounts a rule 52, preferably a steel rule.
  • a movable jaw 24 may be employed with a .simple stop having a hook-like formation similar to 28. for engaging in a slot 44.
  • transverse and/or longitudinal.spacing between fixed and movable vice jaws 23 (23A) and 24 can be widely varied.
  • a movable jaw at position MJI and a single fixed jaw at position FJI or FJ2 or FJ3 there could be a movable jaw at position MJI and a single fixed jaw at position FJI or FJ2 or FJ3; or two movable jaws at positions MJI and MJ2 and a double fixed jaw at positions FJI, FJIA or FJ3, FJ3A; or a movable jaw at each of positions MJI, MJ4 and fixed jaws at FJI, FJ4, and so on.
  • a flat imperforate cover (not shown) may be fitted on top of the worktop 20 when in this condition to provide a conventional table surface.
  • a table extension may be provided which can be secured at one end, in any convenient manner, to one end of the worktop, when the latter is converted to a conventional table, which extension is supported at its other end on a pivotal metal leg frame and which has a reversible table top, one side smooth and the other indented or recessed to hold bottles and other containers.
  • the leg arrangement 21 comprises a pair of rear metal legs 53, splayed outwardly at the bottom as indicated at 54, joined by a metal step or foot rest 55, and pivoted to the underside of the worktop 20 at locations 56 (see Fig. 6).
  • the leg arrangement also comprises a pair of front metal legs 57 also splayed outwardly at the bottom as indicated at 58, joined by a metal strip or bar 59 and pivoted to the underside of the worktop at 60 (see Fig. 6).
  • the legs 43, 57 at each side of the worktop 20 are pivotally connected by a strut 61, which struts ensure simultaneous pivoting movements of the pairs of legs 53, 57.
  • each strut 61 and its corresponding leg 53 is also the pivotal connection between the leg 53 and one end of a collapsible or foldable crank stay 63, the other end of the latter being pivoted to the underside of the worktop 20 at 64.
  • a knob or handle 65 is provided on each crank stay 63 to facilitate manipulation thereof and a stop 66 resists excessive pivotal movement of the crank stays 62 in the direction of workbench erection.
  • a saw block 69 with lateral extensions 70 is integral with the shelf 67 and lies, in erected position of the workbench, rearwardly of the legs 53.
  • the workbench is consequently of very compact, relatively flat and easily carried configuration when collapsed or folded.
  • wheel extensions may be pivoted to the bottom of the legs 53 and 57 so that, when these are brought into use, the erected workbench can be wheeled to different locations.
  • each workbench there is provided at least one single fixed vice jaw, one double fixed vice jaw and two movable vice jaws.
