Abstract
A portable tool stand having automatically deployable legs. The tool stand has a body with a work surface and opposed ends. Deployable legs are pivotally mounted to the tool stand. The legs move between a stored position adjacent to the body and a support position wherein the legs are deployed to support the body. Retractable arms are mounted to each end of the body and slide with respect to the body. The deployable legs and the arms are operably connected such that sliding the arms with respect to the body moves the legs between the stored position and the support position.
Claims25
A portable tool stand comprising:
- a body having a work surface, opposed ends and a longitudinally extending axis;
- deployable legs pivotally mounted to said body;
- said legs moving between a stored position adjacent to said body and a support position wherein said legs are deployed to support said body;
- at least one arm is mounted for sliding parallel to said longitudinally extending axis with respect to one end of said body portion, said at least one arm sliding parallel with respect to said body between a transport position and a use position;
- said deployable legs and said arm being operably connected such that sliding said arm with respect to said body moves said legs between said stored position and said support position;
- and
- a handle attached to said at least one arm with said handle being mounted for movement generally perpendicular to said at least one arm, such that said handle can be raised and lowered with respect to said at least one arm.
A portable tool stand comprising:
- a body having a generally flat work surface, front and back sides, opposed ends and an open bottom;
- arms mounted at both ends for sliding movement with respect to said ends, said arms sliding from a closed position adjacent said ends and an open position spaced from said ends, said arms increase the longitudinal length of said work surface when in said open position;
- support legs operatively couple to said arms such movement of said arms moves said legs, said legs having a retracted position wherein said legs are retracted into said open bottom of said body generally concealing said legs within said body and a support position wherein said legs are extended to support said body, said legs being moved to said retracted position by sliding said arms to said closed position and said legs being moved to said support position by sliding said arms to said open position;
- and
- handles attached to said arms, said handles being mounted for movement generally perpendicular to said arms, such that said handles can be raised and lowered with respect to said arms.
A portable tool stand comprising:

- said legs moving between a stored position adjacent to said body and a support position wherein said legs are deployed to support said body;
- at least one arm is mounted for sliding with respect to one end of said body portion, said at least one arm sliding with respect to said body between a transport position and a use position;
- said deployable legs and said at least one arm being operably connected such that sliding said at least one arm with respect to said body moves said legs between said stored position and said support position;
- handles attached to said at least one arm, said handles are mounted for movement generally perpendicular to said at least one arm, such that said handles can be raised and lowered with respect to said at least one arm.
