Abstract
A collapsible stand for mounting a reloading press has a base supporting an inclined pedestal the upper end of which is arranged for mounting the press on a vertical axis disposed intermediate transverse feet located at the front and rear ends of the base, providing a stable platform for operation of the press. A brace interconnects the pedestal and the base intermediate their ends securing the pedestal at its inclined orientation relative to the base. The stand is collapsible for storage to minimum dimensions with all of the components securable against displacement.
Claims3
A stand for supporting a reloading press, comprising:
- a. an elongated base beam having front and rear ends,
- b. an elongated pedestal beam,
- c. a bolt pivotally interconnecting the lower end of the pedestal beam and the rear end of the base beam,
- d. a diagonal brace beam extending between the base and pedestal beams intermediate their ends,
- e. bolts removably securing the opposite ends of the brace beam to the base and pedestal beams with the latter beams forming an included angle of about 83.degree. ,
- f. a mounting platform on the upper end of the pedestal beam adapted to mount a reloading press on a vertical axis intercepting the base beam between the front and rear ends of the latter, the upper end portion of the pedestal beam being offset angularly forward to support said mounting platform, the angle between the pedestal beam and its offset upper end portion being about 97.degree. ,
- g. a transverse bar at the lower end of the pedestal beam forming a rear lateral stabilizing foot, and
- h. a transverse bar at the front end of the base beam forming a front lateral stabilizing foot, the base beam being provided with a notch in its lower edge adjacent its front end and the transverse front foot bar being provided with a notch in its upper edge at its longitudinal center, said notches being dimensioned to interfit the foot bar and base beam at right angles.
A stand for supporting a reloading press, comprising:
- a. a single elongated base beam having front and rear ends,
- b. a single elongated pedestal beam secured pivotally at its lower end to the rear end of the base beam with one side of the base beam confronting one side of the pedestal beam,
- c. a single diagonal base beam extending between the base and pedestal beams intermediate their ends and secured by a pivot to the base beam and by a detachable pivot to the pedestal beam, with one side of the brace beam confronting the same said one side of the pedestal beam as does the base beam, whereby detachment of the base beam from the pedestal at said detachable pivot allows folding of the base beam and brace beam along side the pedestal beam,
- d. a transverse bar removably engaging the front end of the base beam and extending laterally to opposite sides thereof forming a front lateral stabilizing foot,
- e. the front foot bar having an opening intermediate its ends for reception of said detachable pivot when the beams are in folded condition, for securing the front foot bar to the pedestal beam for storage, and
- f. a mounting platform on the upper end of the pedestal beam adapted to mount a reloading press on a vertical axis intercepting the base beam between the front and rear ends of the latter.
