Definitions

  • the invention relates to mobile stands for powered tools. More specifically, the invention relates to mobile stands for power tools such as miter saws, chop saws, task saws, compound sliding circular saws and the like.
  • a brochure showing the Rousseau SS2850 product discloses a mobile miter saw stand.
  • United States Patent No. 6,886,836 entitled “Counterbalanced Universal Mobile Saw Stand,” issued May 3,2005 to the inventor herein discloses a built-in handtruck design that enables the end user to transport common table saws and equipment to the location of the project being undertaken. The unit quickly folds out into a fully supporting work bench for actual use of the saw and/or equipment.
  • the saw stand shown in the'836 patent is a significant advance in the art in that the device disclosed therein permits a heavy power saw, such as a table saw to be transported to or from a jobsite on roller wheels in the manner of a conventional handtruck.
  • the saw can then be used with the saw stand in a collapsed position (e.g., low to the ground) or in a raised position at table height.
  • This saw stand has a built-in feature that enables the unit to stand in the vertical position with the saw attached. This creates ease in transporting the unit to and from the workplace, i.e., in elevators, truck beds, etc. Also built into the design is the ability to use the saw in the horizontal stowed position for hardwood floor installers, etc.
  • This unit is constructed of powder-coated tubular steel and sheet metal. Ergonomic handles and lockout devices are incorporated into each aspect of this unit for ease of use, safety, and product longevity.
  • Quick automatic latch mechanisms are an integral part of the unit for the flip-out support leg and the saw table surface. These latches are automatic in the setup mode and require manual release for returning the unit to the stowed position.
  • the stand includes an elongated power tool bed having two ends for supporting a power tool, or an intermediate plate to which a power tool, such as a table saw, chop saw, band saw, or the like may be attached.
  • the stand has a substantially handtruck-shaped bed support having an upper end slidably connected to the power tool bed, such as by a track or pair of tracks.
  • the bed support has an intermediate lever arm portion; and a distal foot portion having a preselected length terminating in a free end and forming a preselected foot portion angle with respect to the lever arm portion.
  • the bed support is movable between stowed and extended positions with respect to the power tool bed.
  • a swing-out leg, or pair of swing-out legs have upper ends pivotally connected adjacent to the power tool bed first end. Each leg has a distal free end for contacting a substantially planar surface, such as the ground.
  • the leg or legs are pivotable between stowed and extended positions with respect to the power tool bed.
  • a strut or struts having first end(s) pivotally connected adjacent the power tool bed first end have second distal ends pivotally connected to the bed support so as to be pivotal between stowed and extended positions.
  • a wheel or pair of wheels having a preselected radius are rotatably connected to the bed support for rolling the stand on the support surface when the bed support, strut or struts, and leg or legs are locked into their respective stowed positions in the conventional manner of a handtruck.
  • the wheels are lifted from the support surface, such as the ground, and the stand is primarily supported by the leg or legs and the foot portion free end. In this manner, the vibrations from the power tool on the power tool bed are transmitted directly into the support surface and are damped thereby.
  • the bed interior angles between the power tool bed, bed support, and struts are acute angles and the free end of the lever arm foot portion is positioned at a distance d from a diameter of the wheel normal to the support surface along a tangent to the wheel in contact with the support surface wherein d is equal to or greater than approximately the radius of the wheel R and approximately equal to or less than R/tan (90° minus the acute angle between the power tool bed and bed support).
  • the intermediate lever arm portion of the bed support when advanced toward the second end of the power tool bed and past the vertical, acts as a lever to "jack up" the wheel or wheels off the support surface (e.g., ground) with minimal effort in an over-center fashion.
  • the weight of the power tool on top of the bed support assists in the self-jacking operation.
  • biasing mechanisms may be interconnected between the strut or struts and the power tool bed to facilitate erection of the stand with a heavy load on the bed support, such as a power tool or the like.
  • the acute angle between the power tool bed and the intermediate lever arm portion of the bed support is approximately 75 degrees when extended, and the preselected angle between the intermediate lever arm portion of the bed support and the foot portion is approximately 90 degrees, as in a conventional two-wheeled handtruck.
  • a self-jacking mobile power tool stand 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.
  • Figures 1 and 2 generally show the stand 10 in an extended or raised position for use of the stand at table height
  • Figure 4 illustrates the stand 10 in a collapsed position for transporting a powered tool 11, such as a table saw, chop saw, sliding compound miter saw or the like, in a handtruck-like fashion, or for use of the powered tool at a low elevation, such as for carpentry work involving floor moldings and the like.
  • the power tool stand 10 includes an elongated, power tool bed 12 having a first end 14 and a second end 16 for supporting a power tool or the like on a removable saw mounting plate 18 shown in Figure 7 .
  • the power tool such as a table saw
  • the power tool is mounted to the plate 18 by conventional bolts (not shown) or the like while the plate itself is received in a clip 20 and a spring-loaded latch 22 on a top side 24 of the bed 12.
  • the latch 22 has a handle 26 that may be operated by the user to release the latch and remove the plate 18 from the bed 12. In this way a user may decouple the saw/plate combination from the collapsed stand 10 to lighten lifting requirements for loading the equipment in a pickup truck bed or the like.
  • the plate 18 is provided with hand held recesses 28 adjacent to each corner of the plate.
  • a pair of swing-out legs 30, 32 connected by crossbraces 34 have upper ends 36 pivotally connected to the first end 14 of the power tool bed 12.
  • the legs have distal free ends 38 capped by rubber feet for contact with a support surface 40, such as the ground.
  • the power tool stand 10 also has a pair of struts 48, 50 each having a first end 52 also pivotally connected to the power tool bed first end 14 coaxially with the swing-out legs 32, 34, such as about a tool bed axle 54, best seen in Figure 6 .
  • the first ends 52 of the struts have perpendicularly extending handle portions 60, 62 interconnected by a handle crossbar 63 that also serves as a handle correlating to the handle on a conventional two-wheeled handtruck, as will be described further hereinbelow.
  • the struts also each have a distal second end 64 that is pivotally connected by a wheel axle 66 to a generally "L"-shaped or handtruck-shaped bed support generally indicated at reference numeral 70.
  • the bed support has a pair of intermediate lever arm portions 72, 74 each having an upper part 76 and lower part 78 connected at an obtuse angle so that the various parts of the stand may stow together closely as shown in Figure 4 without mechanical interference.
  • each lever arm portion is provided with a roller 82, (best seen in Figure 5 ) that is received in an interior track 84 connected to the underside of the power tool bed 12.
  • the track 84 extends from the second end 16 of the power tool bed 12 approximately midway toward the first end 14.
  • the track 84 is provided with an upward detent or groove 90 to receive the rollers 82 at the distal end of the track such that the rollers are captured therein by the gravitational bias of the power tool bed 12 and the power tool received on top of the bed.
  • the intermediate lever arm portions 72, 74 are provided with a perpendicularly extending foot portion 92 terminating in a foot portion free end 94 in the form of a cylindrical, transverse bar 96.
  • the wheel axle 66 is journalled through the lower parts 78 of the lever arm portions 72, 74 so as to support a pair of wheels 100 laterally external to the struts 48, 50.
  • the handle portions 60, 62 and pair of wheels 100 support the power tool stand 10 on the support surface 40 when the saw stand is in the collapsed position; however, when the stand is in the extended or erect position shown in Figure 2 , the stand is primarily supported by the pair of swing-out legs 30, 32 and the free end 94 of the lever arm foot portion 92 so as to isolate the wheels 100 from the ground. In this manner, vibrations from the power tool or the like on the saw plate 18 are transmitted directly through the saw stand to the ground, rather than being introduced into the wheels, which may serve to reflect and/or amplify those vibrations.
  • a pair of spring-loaded hydraulic cylinders 110 are preferably pivotally connected to both the power tool bed 12 and one of each of the struts 48, 50. Furthermore, as shown with reference to the freebody diagram shown in Figure 3 , a preferred geometry is selected for the power tool stand 10 such that an acute angle ⁇ is formed between the power tool bed 12 and the struts 48, 50 when the stand 10 is in the extended or erect position.
  • the bed 12 and lever arm portions 72, 74 preferably form an acute angle ⁇ therebetween such that the upper ends 80 of the lever arm portions are beyond a normal line 120 with respect to the support surface or ground 40 in the manner of an overcenter latch to assist the user when drawing the upper part 76 of the lever arm portions 72, 74 toward the second end 16 of the power tool bed 12.
  • the user achieves this action merely by lifting the second end 16 of the power tool bed 12 after the swing-out legs 30, 32 have been deployed such that the hydraulic cylinders 110 assist in raising the bed.
  • the weight of the table saw or the like on the power tool bed 12 assists in driving the upper parts 76 of the lever arms 72, 74 to the positions shown in Figures 2 and 3 (i.e., to the right is shown in Figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the lever arm portions 72, 74 preferably have a length approximately 2.5 times that of the length 1 of the foot portion 92 such that only 40% of the weight on the power tool bed 12 is required to "jack" the free end 94 of the foot portion 92 into the position shown in Figure 2 , wherein the wheels 100 are lifted from the support surface or floor 40.
  • the free end 94 of the foot portion 92 should have a length 1 selected such that the distance d is in the range of approximately between the radius R of the wheels 100 divided by the tangent of ⁇ .
  • the angle ⁇ is approximately equal to 35 degrees; and the angle ⁇ is approximately equal to 75 degrees.
  • an angle ⁇ between the struts 48, 50 and the lever arm portions 72, 74, as shown in Figure 3 is approximately 70 degrees.
  • ⁇ being equal to 90 degrees - ⁇ is approximately 15 degrees and the distance 1, as shown in Figure 3 , is approximately 23.18 inches if the radius R of the wheels 100 is approximately 6 inches.
  • the foot portion 92 is displaced downwardly from the wheel axle 66 by approximately 2.17 inches; thus, using the above formulas the foot portion 92 has approximately a length of 14.8 inches.
  • Figure 3 is a freebody diagram of the structure shown in Figure 2 .
  • the foot portion free end 94 has a cylindrical transverse bar 96 having a nonzero diameter.
  • Transverse bar 96 has a diameter of approximately 1.38 inch.
  • the mobile power tool stand 10 may optionally be provided with infeed and outfeed rollers of the conventional type 122, 124 located laterally by transverse bars 126, 127 that in turn are received in square cross-section tubes 128 that are integral with the power tool bed 12.
  • the rollers are supported in the conventional manner by telescoping support members 130 and 132.
  • the second end 16 of the power tool bed 12 is preferably provided with a spring-loaded axle latch 140 to secure the wheel axle 100 to the power tool bed 12 when in the collapsed position shown in Figure 4 .
  • the self-jacking, mobile power tool stand 10 shown and described above provides a means for supporting a conventional power tool, such as a table saw or chop saw in a waist-height position, as shown in Figure 2 , such that the transport wheels 100 are lifted off the ground 40 to reduce vibrations during operation.
  • the stand 10 may be collapsed and locked by the axle latch 140 and as shown in Figure 4 , to permit the power tool, such as a table saw, to be used at floor level, for example, for carpentry work involving floor moldings.
  • the mobile power tool stand when in the collapsed position shown in Figure 4 may also be used to transport the power tool in a fashion similar to a conventional two-wheeled handtruck.
  • the saw mounting plate 18 may be detached from the power tool bed 12 by operation of the latch 22 and the combination power tool/mounting plate laid on the foot portion 92 and transported in the conventional two-wheeled handtruck fashion
