Abstract
A work bench including a frame and a table surface connected to the frame. The table surface includes first and second table surface members. The first table surface member is movably coupled with the frame and has first and second ends. The work bench also includes a first user-actuatable drive member for moving the first end of the first table surface member, a second user-actuatable drive member for moving the second end of the first table surface member and a third user-actuatable drive member for moving the first end and the second end of the first table surface member concurrently.
Claims19
A work bench comprising;
- a frame;
- 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;
- and
- a drive mechanism comprising;
- a first screw coupled with the movable member;
- a second screw coupled with the movable member and spaced apart from the first screw;
- a first screw sprocket coupled with the first screw;
- a second screw sprocket coupled with the second screw;
- an intermediate shaft carrying a first and, second intermediate sprocket, wherein each intermediate sprocket has a larger diameter than the respective screw sprocket;
- a first transmission linkage coupling the first screw sprocket to the first intermediate sprocket;
- and
- a second transmission linkage coupling the second screw sprocket to the second intermediate sprocket;
- wherein the drive mechanism is arranged such that the movable member may be moved by turning the intermediate shaft.
A work bench comprising;
- a frame;
- a table surface connected to the frame, said table surface including a first table surface member and a second table surface member, at least the first table surface member being movably coupled with said frame for enabling clamping of a workpiece between said first table surface member and said second table surface member;
- wherein the first table surface member has a first end and a second end;
- the work bench further comprising a first user-actuatable drive member for moving the first end of the first table surface member;
- a second user-actuatable drive member for moving the second end of the first table surface member;
- and a third user-actuatable drive member for moving the first end and the second end of the first table surface member concurrently.
A work bench comprising;
- a frame;
- a table surface connected to the frame, said table surface including a first table surface member and a second table surface member, at least the first table surface member being movably coupled with said frame for enabling clamping of a workpiece between said first table surface member and said second table surface member;
- wherein the first table surface member has a first end and a second end;
- wherein the first end is coupled to a first vise screw which drives movement of the first table surface member at the first end;
- wherein the second end is coupled to a second vise screw which drives movement of the first table surface member at the second end;
- a first handle operable to drive the first vise screw;
- a second handle operable to drive the second vise screw;
- a third handle operable to simultaneously drive both the first and the second vice screws.
