Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to tool support stands.
  • Tool support stands are well known and generally employ a work surface to which a tool, such as a saw, can be mounted and legs to support the stand.
  • These tool support stands come in any number of sizes and shapes, but typically have four legs that are fixed in the support position or can be Individually folded or telescoped to a closed position.
  • Some of these known work tables also include extendable work surfaces that can be pulled out to make the overall length of the tool stand longer.
  • the tool stand of the present invention provides a relatively compact tool stand that is easily transported to and from jobsites.
  • the too! stand can tit in a fairly small space in a vehicle and can be easily carried to the jobsite,
  • the handles are connected to the legs of the tool stand and by extending the arms, the legs are quickly and easily deployed,
  • the portable tool stand of the present invention includes a body having a generally flat work surface, front and back sides, opposed ends and an open bottom. Arms are mounted at both ends for sliding movement with respect to the ends. The arms slide from a closed position adjacent the ends to an open position spaced from the ends. The arms increase the width of the work surface when in the open position and control the position of the legs when slid with respect to the body.
  • support legs are operatively coupled to the arms such movement of the arms moves the leg.
  • the legs having a retracted position wherein the legs are retracted into the open bottom of the body generally concealing the legs within the body and a support position wherein the legs are extended to support the body.
  • the legs are moved to the retracted position by sliding the arms to the closed position and the legs are moved to the support position by sliding the arms to the open position.
  • the portable tool stand of the present invention is shown generally at 10 in figures 1 through 4 .
  • the tool stand 10 has a body portion 12 with a generally fiat top 14 and a bottom surface 16, As illustrated, the bottom surface 16 is generally flat to allow the tool stand to be stored on a generally flat surface.
  • a strap 18 is provided to carry the tool stand 10.
  • a handgrip 21 is provided to allow the tool stand 10 to he carried by the hand grip 21 in the top 14. As illustrated, the hand grip 21 is formed by an opening in the top 14 with the hand grip 21 spanning that opening.
  • Handles and material supports 20 are provided on opposed sides of the body portion 12.
  • the handles 20 are mounted on arms 22 that cart slide with respect to body portion 12.
  • the handles 20 can be extended to create a work surface that is wider than the width of the body portion 12.
  • the handles 20 can also be moved perpendicular to the arms 22 to raise the top surface 23 of the handle 20 to a position higher than the top 14 of the body portion 12, see figure 4 ,
  • the handles 20 can be adjusted to accommodate material and support the material in the same plane as the tool, such as for example a miter saw.
  • the handles 20 have a slot that receives a pin extending from the arm 22, The pin is spring loaded and the slot has indentations.
  • the handles 20 and more particularly the arras 22 deploy the legs 26 of the portable tool stand 10.
  • Latches 28 are released to allow the handles 20 to be moved outwardly which simultaneously moves the legs 26 from their stored position, which in the disclosed embodiment in within in the body portion 12, to the deployed position as shown in figure 4 .
  • the latches 28 can take numerous forms, including a threaded fastener, a latch, a spring loaded pin etc. With reference to figure 3 , the legs 26 are shown partially deployed.
  • a rack and pinion is generally shown at 40.
  • the legs 26 are deployed by the arms 22 and handles 20 through the use of a rack and pinion as illustrated.
  • the rack 42 is mounted to the arms 22.
  • the pinion 44 is mounted through an axle 46 to the interior of the body 12 and to the legs 26.
  • a bearing 48 is provided on the interior walls of the body 12 to allow the axle 46 to journal when the rack 42 rotates the pinion, As illustrated, the axle 46 is shown cut off and not extending to the other adjacent leg. It should be understood that the axle is intended to extend to the adjacent leg and be journaled in a bearing 48 at the opposite interior wall of the body 12.
  • the pinion 46 rotates counterclockwise (see the arrow) causing the leg 26 to deploy.
  • a separate rack 42 and pinion 44 are provided on the opposite side of the tool stand 10 to deploy that set of legs.
  • leg 26 deployment system With reference to figures 6 and 7 , another embodiment of the leg 26 deployment system is illustrated, In this embodiment, the legs 26 are deployed by the arms 22 through a link 50 connected between the arm 22 and leg 26, The link 50 extends from a pivot point 54 connected the arm 22 and a pin 58 mounted within a slot 60 formed in the leg 26.
  • the leg 26 is pivotally connected to the body 12, With reference to figure 6 , the leg 26 is in the storage position.
  • the arm 22 is pushed into the body 12, which draws the leg 26 into the body 12, The sidewall of the body is wide enough to receive and hide the leg in the storage position.
  • the arm 22 has been pulled from the body 12 which causes the link 50 to drive against and pivot the leg 26 to the use position.
  • the slot 60 allows the pin 58 room to move to allow the pivoting of the leg 26.
  • the tool stand 10 is adapted to receive a tool, such as a miter saw 30, see figure 4 .
  • the miter saw 30 is shown mounted to quick connects 32 to allow the miter saw 30 to be quickly mounted or detached from the stand 10, Quick connects are well known in the art, an example is illustrated in application United States Design Patent No. D623672 .
  • the top surface 14 of the body portion 12 is specially configured to receive the quick connects 32, As illustrated in figure 4 , the top surface of the handles 20 can be adjusted upwardly to be parallel to the work surface of the tool 30 to provide a work support surface to support the material being cut.
  • the latches 28 are released and the bandies 20 are pushed back to the storage position, Le, adjacent the body 12. This automatically pivots the legs 26 to the storage position within the body portion 12. The latches 28 are then latched to retain the handles in the storage position and the stand can then be easily carried or stored.
