Abstract
A device for lifting and positioning a sheet of material onto a table saw includes a clamp portion for attachment to the table saw. An elongated arm is pivotally attached to the clamp portion, and has a catch adapted to receive an edge of a vertically oriented sheet. The arm and sheet are lifted upwardly, so that the sheet is placed in a generally horizontal position on the table saw.
Claims19
A sheet positioning device for a table saw, comprising:
- a clamp attachable to the table saw;
- an arm pivotally attached to the clamp;
- and
- a platform extending from the arm generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the arm, the platform configured to receive an edge of the sheet thereon;
- whereby an edge of the sheet is disposed on the platform, and the arm is pivoted upwardly until the sheet is moved onto a top table surface of the table saw.

A sheet positioning device for a table saw, comprising:
- a clamp attachable to an edge of a table or a wall of a fence of the table saw;
- an arm pivotally attached to the clamp at one end thereof;
- and
- a catch extending from a generally opposite end of the arm configured to receive an edge of the sheet therein;
- whereby an edge of the sheet is disposed in the catch, and the arm is pivoted upwardly by rotating the sheet until the sheet is moved from a generally vertical orientation to a generally horizontal orientation and onto a top table surface of the table saw.

A sheet positioning device for a table saw, comprising:
- a clamp attachable to an edge of a table or a wall of a fence of the table saw;
- an arm pivotally attached to the clamp at one end thereof;
- a catch extending from a generally opposite end of the arm and comprising a platform extending from the arm generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the arm, and a projection extending from the platform in spaced relation and generally parallel to the arm;
- and
- a damper device interconnected between the arm and the clamp and adapted to dampen downward movement of the arm;
- whereby an edge of the sheet is disposed in the catch, and the arm is pivoted upwardly by rotating the sheet until the sheet is moved from a generally vertical orientation to a generally horizontal orientation and onto a top table surface of the table saw.
