5 designates in a general way the improved By notching the stringer on its under side bench-leg, and it is composed of a single castit readily receives the rib 17, and the bottom ing having standards 6, of structural-iron of the stringer rests upon the flange 17, from shape in cross-section, T-iron being shown, which said rib extends. It will thus be seen that the notch in the stringer comes on the compression side of the beam when the bench is loaded, and that therefore the notch does not weaken the stringer, as the cut will close under pressure, and the ends of the kerf will abut against the rib. The leg is also rendered stronger by said rib 17 across the lower end of the pocket 15.
As my improved bench is independent of the wall, it can be moved as a unit when desired, and when located near the wall it is sometimes desirable to place a screen (not shown) between the top of the backboard 23 and said wall to prevent small articles from falling back of the bench.
In Fig. 6 a pair of improved bench-legs is shown supporting the table or bench proper in one form of corner construction and in Fig. 7 in another form of corner construction.
In Fig. 8 the manner in which an end of the bench is supported is illustrated, while Fig. 9 represents what is known as a shelfand-bin construction below the top.
As will be evident, the T-shaped sectional form of the cross-brace 8 with the flange down constitutes on its top surface a comparatively broad rest for a lower shelf, and the like construction of the uprights 6. With their flanges extending inward, facilitates bin construction (see Fig. 9) by forming abutments and separators.
Variations in width of the front plank 19 to suit different requirements and to permit of the use of different widths of stock require no change in the form of the leg, as no harm will result if there is a slight space at the joint 19.
By the use of my improvement with any of the variousdifferent styles of tables or benchtops and with the maximum distance between centers a stiff bench is obtained with a minimum number and weight of the legs, this result being accomplished by the longitudinal stringers 16, aided by the backboard 23, secured t0 the vertical T-shaped flanges 14.
My invention is not limited to the precise details shown and described, for changes may be made without departure therefrom, nor is it limited to the use of any particular matefial in manufacturing the improved benchegs.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim is 1. A work-bench comprising a table, and bench-legs,each having uprights, aflanged top to which said table is secured, and a pocket for the reception of a stringer.
2. A work-bench comprising bench-legs, each having a top with a depressed portion; heavy planking inserted in said depressed portion; and planking secured to the top of each leg adjacent to said depressed portion, and being flush with said heavy planking.
3. A work-bench comprising a table, legs having pockets provided with vertical crossribs; and stringers secured in said pockets, and bearing against said cross-ribs.
1. A bench-leg comprising united standards, and a top to which the table is secured, said bench-leg having a pocket in line with one of the standards for the reception of stringers.
5. A bench-leg comprising a pair of united standards having inwardly-extending longitudinal ribs, a top having a depressed portion and a pocket in line with one of the standards, and a backboard-support projecting vertically from an end of said top.
6. A bench-leg comprising standards of angular shape in cross-section, a brace, also of angular shape in cross-section, uniting said standards, a flanged top, having a pocket in line with one of the standards, and a vertical backboard-support projecting from the rear end of said top.
7. A bench-leg comprising standards of T shape in cross-section, the stems of the T facing inward, a T- shaped brace uniting the standards, the stem of the T projecting downward, and a top provided with perforated ears, a depressed portion, and a pocket in line with one of the standards for the reception of a stringer.
8. A bench leg comprising vertical T- shaped standards a T-shaped brace uniting the standards, a flanged top provided with a pocket in line with one of the standards and having a vertical cross-rib, a broad overhang at the rear end of the top, and a flange extending vertically from the end of the overhang.
9. A bench-leg comprising T-shaped uprights, a T-shaped brace uniting said uprights, a flanged top depressed for a part of its length in its forward portion to accommodate heavy planking, a pocket in the top, and extending into one of the standards, and a projection rising from the top at one side of the pocket, and serving as a backboard-support.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
