Abstract
A work bench including a frame foldable between an in-use position and a closed position. A table surface is connected to the frame. The frame includes two sides, the two sides connected to each other with a latchable bar and one or more fixed crossbars. The work bench also includes movable catch which is movable from a position in which it retains the latchable bar at the latched position to maintain the work bench in an in-use position, and a released position in which the latchable bar is release from the catch to allow the work bench to be folded into a closed position
Claims14
A work bench comprising:
- a frame foldable between an in-use position and a closed position;
- a table surface connected to the frame, said table surface including at least two members, at least one of said members movably coupled with said frame for enabling clamping of a workpiece between said members;
- wherein the frame comprises two sides, the two sides connected to each other with a latchable bar and one or more fixed crossbars;
- wherein each side of the frame comprises:
- a bracket assembly supporting the table surface;
- a rear leg pivotally connected to the bracket assembly;
- a front leg pivotally connected to the bracket assembly;
- a bracket strut pivotally connected to the bracket assembly closer to one end of the bracket assembly than both the rear leg and the front leg;
- a rear strut pivotally connected to the rear leg;
- and
- a front strut pivotally connected to the front leg;
- wherein the bracket strut, the rear strut and the front strut are pivotally connected to each other at a main joint;
- and
- wherein both main joints are joined to the latchable bar, such that when the work bench is in the in-use position the latchable bar is latched to a component of the frame at a latched position and is releasable in order to allow both main joints to fall due to gravity.
A work bench comprising:
- a frame foldable between an in-use position and a closed position;
- a table surface connected to the frame;
- wherein the frame comprises two sides, the two sides connected to each other with a latchable bar and one or more fixed crossbars;
- a movable catch which is movable from a position in which it retains the latchable bar at the latched position to thereby maintain the work bench in an in-use position, and a released position in which the latchable bar is release from the catch to thereby allow the work bench to be folded into a closed position.
