Definitions

  • the invention relates to collapsible workbenches. More specifically, the invention relates to collapsible work tables, infeed/outfeed tables, and mobile stands for power tools.
  • the inventor herein has further been issued U.S. Patent No. 6,886,836 on May 3, 2005 titled “Counterbalanced Universal Mobile Saw Stand” that is particularly well adapted for supporting a powered crosscut saw in both an elevated position for working at standing height, and a collapsed position for working adjacent the floor, such as when mitering floor moldings for carpentry.
  • the disclosed device is also well adapted for transporting a powered saw, such as a chop saw or the like to and from a work site.
  • a powered saw such as a chop saw or the like
  • the above prior art discloses a wide range of configurations for infeed/outfeed tables, collapsible saw support stands, collapsible work tables, and portable infeed/outfeed tables.
  • clamp-like devices supporting elongated rollers may be attached to conventional sawhorses for use as infeed/outfeed supports for materials to be crosscut. It is also known that sawhorses may be of the collapsible, reusable type.
  • the invention achieves the above objects, and other objects and advantages that will become apparent from the description which follows, by providing a collapsible infeed/outfeed table having a generally A-frame configuration.
  • the table includes a pair of foldable, laterally extensible work support surfaces in the form of wings that are pivotally connected to two pairs of foldable, elongated support legs.
  • Each support leg pivotally supports a foldable strut having a first end pivotally connected to a corresponding support leg and a distal free end slidably connected to the foldable wing that corresponds to the connected leg.
  • the support legs and wings are pivotally connected to a pair of stanchions at an upper end thereof.
  • a lower end of each stanchion is pivotally connected to a pair of foldable support braces having distal free ends that are slidably connected to the support legs.
  • the stanchions may be provided with a telescoping roller that is retractable below the extended surface of the laterally extensible work support surfaces so as to provide an unobstructed upper surface for the table.
  • This central roller may be raised to an extended position with the work support surfaces collapsed into their stowed positions such that the table may be used as an infeed/outfeed roller for a powered saw.
  • the work support surfaces may also be provided at their free ends with a pair of extendable rollers that may be raised from the work support surfaces such that, when the central roller is retracted, a powered saw, such as a chop saw, miter saw, or the like may be positioned centrally on the table, with the rollers on the work support surfaces acting as the infeed/outfeed rollers.
  • a powered saw such as a chop saw, miter saw, or the like may be positioned centrally on the table, with the rollers on the work support surfaces acting as the infeed/outfeed rollers.
  • the collapsible infeed/outfeed table is thus capable of serving as an infeed/outfeed roller support (with the central roller extended, and the laterally extensible work support surfaces collapsed); a collapsible work table (with the laterally extensible work support surfaces extended and all of the rollers retracted); and a powered saw support stand (with the laterally extensible work support surfaces extended, the central roller retracted, and the rollers at the end of the work support surfaces extended).
  • the entire table can be collapsed into a convenient form for carrying and storage.
  • a collapsible infeed/outfeed table in accordance with the principles of the invention is generally indicated at reference numeral 10 in the various Figures of the attached drawings wherein numbered elements in the Figures correspond to like numbered elements herein.
  • the table 10 has a pair of selectively foldable, laterally extensible work support surfaces or wings 12,14 that may be used to support work materials, a powered crosscut type of saw (e.g., a miter saw, sliding compound crosscut saw, compact powered band saw, etc.) or as a support for rollers for purposes that will be described hereinbelow.
  • the wings are preferably manufactured from a sturdy material, such as sheet steel, and may be perforated (not shown) to prevent sheet materials, such as plywood from adhering thereto in response to a partial vacuum at a surface interface of the working material with the table.
  • Each work surface has a corresponding inner end 16,18 that is pivotally connected to bracket portions 20, 22 of a pair of vertical stanchions 24, 26 so that the wings 12,14 may be pivoted between an extended position, shown in Figures 1 through 5 , and a collapsed position (not shown) adjacent to two pairs of support legs 28, 30, 32, and 34.
  • the support legs are elongated and have upper ends 36, 38,40, and 44 that are coaxially pivotable about bracket portions 20, 22, such as by way of bolts 46, 48, as best seen in Figure 3 .
  • the support legs are reinforced by support leg cross-braces 50, 52 adjacent to the free ends 54, 56, 58, and 60 of the corresponding support legs 28, 30, 32, and 34.
  • the stanchions 24, 26 are supported by a stanchion cross-brace 62 adjacent stanchion lower ends 64, 66.
  • the pivotal connection between the wings 12, 14, the elongated support legs 28, 30, 32, and 34, at the bracket portions 20, 22 of the stanchions 24, 26 permits the wings to be extendable to the position shown in the Figures, which is suitable for use as described above, and into a collapsed position (not shown) with the wings 12, 14 being nested against the support legs and the stanchions.
  • the collapsible infeed/outfeed table 10 is provided with two pairs of wing support struts 70, 72, 74, and 76.
  • the wing support struts each have a first end 80, 82, 84, and 86 pivotally connected to a corresponding support leg 28, 30, 32, and 34, such as by bolts (not shown).
  • Each wing support strut also has a free end 90, 92, 94, and 96 that is slidably received in a corresponding wing track 100, 110, 112, and 114, best seen in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • Each strut free end 90 is provided with a transverse pin, such as transverse pin 118, which may reside in a detent area 120 secured by spring clip 122 so as to maintain the wings, for example, wing 12, in the extended position as shown in the Figures.
  • the detent area 120 is configured such that a load on the wing 12 biases the pin 118 into the detent to prevent the wing from collapsing until the spring clip 122 is overcome by lifting the wing 12 vertically and then collapsing the corresponding wing support struts 70, 72 in a manner well understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
  • each leg support brace inner end 138, 140, 142, 144 is pivotally connected to the corresponding lower end 64 or 66 of the corresponding stanchion 24 or 26, such as by bolts 146, 148.
  • Brace distal portions 154, 156, 158, and 160 are provided with corresponding elongated slots 162, 164 166, and 168, which are connected to portions of the corresponding support legs intermediate the stanchion bracket portions, 20, 22 and the first ends 80, 82, 84, 86 of the wing support struts 70, 72, 74, and 76.
  • This arrangement permits the foldable legs to collapse or extend in a controlled manner and also provides significant lateral support for the table 10 when the wings 12, 14 are in the extended position shown in the Figures.
  • the above fundamental structure of the collapsible infeed/outfeed table 10 provides a sturdy surface (when all of the above-described structural elements are in their extended positions) to support significant vertical loads. It will be appreciated that when the table is in its extended position shown in the Figures, and a load is placed on the work surface defined by the wings 12, 14 all of the structural members except the legs 28, 30, 32, 34; stanchions 24, 26 and wing support struts 70, 72, 74, 76 are in tension, providing for an extremely stable structure.
  • each of these elements is made of formed sheet metal, such as steel, which has high strength in tension.
  • Structural elements that are in compression such as the legs, wing support struts and stanchions are either pivotally connected to another structure, (such as support legs 28, 30, 32, and 34) or are received in sliding tracks 100, 110, 112, and 114 in positions that are close to vertical so as to have significant rigidity in compression.
  • the collapsible infeed/outfeed table 10 may be manufactured from relatively light-gauge steel and still have sufficient strength to support a heavy item, such as a powered chop saw, sliding crosscut saw, etc.
  • the inherent strength of the table 10 assures that the table is well adapted for a variety of uses.
  • the saw When used to support a powered saw, such as a crosscut type of saw, the saw may be placed in the middle of the table.
  • the wing free ends 176, 178 are provided with extensible roller structures 180, 182, best seen in Figure 4 .
  • Each wing has on a lateral side thereof two apertures, 191, 192 that may be selectively engaged by a removable pin 193 so as to permit the extensible roller structure to achieve a vertical orientation with respect to the wing 12.
  • the structure is provided with a telescoping mechanism 196 controlled by a clamp 198, allowing the roller 180 to be elevated above the surface of the wing 12 up to approximately 3 inches.
  • the roller structures 180, 182 associated with the free end of each wing provide a relatively frictionless input and output surface elevated above the surface of the table to receive material that is to be crosscut on the powered saw (not shown).
  • the stanchions 24, 26 are also provided with a telescopic roller assembly 200, best seen in Figures 3 and 5 .
  • the roller assembly 200 includes an elongated roller 202 rotationally mounted on a pair of masts 204, 206 that nest inside each corresponding stanchion 24, 26.
  • Conventional hand-operated clamps 210, 212 are provided on each stanchion 24, 26 to permit an operator to adjust the telescopic roller assembly 200 to a desired height from below the surface of the wings 12,14 in the depressed area of the stanchion bracket portions 20, 22, up to approximately 6 inches above the surface of the wings 12,14.
  • the table 10 can be used as an infeed, outfeed roller support with the configuration similar to that of a sawhorse with a conventional roller attached to the top thereof.
  • the above, preferred embodiment of the invention is usable either as a work support table with all of the roller assemblies retracted and the wings extended, a crosscut saw support table with the central, telescopic assembly roller 200 retracted and the wing extensible roller structures 180, 182 extended, or as a roller infeed or outfeed support with the central telescopic roller assembly 200 extended and the wings 12, 14 collapsed.
