Foldable bench for a portable hand-held circular saw

A foldable bench for converting a normally hand held electrically power circular saw having a base plate into a table saw, comprising

• a. housing means for supporting a normally hand held electrically powered circular saw, said housing means including an upper surface for supporting material in a position to be cut by a normally hand held, electrically powered circular saw supported by said housing means, said housing means generally defining a parallelopiped having a first and second pair of opposed side walls, said first pair of opposed side walls having a greater horizontal dimension;
• b. retractable support means for supporting said housing means in a position above a floor level such that the said upper surface is easily accessible by an operator, said retractable supporting means including a plurality of foldable leg members having floor engaging extremities movable from a first position wherein said foldable leg members are contained entirely within said housing means to the second position wherein said floor engaging extremities are positioned laterally beyond the lateral extremities of said upper surface;
• and
• c. stabilizer means for engaging the upper extremity of each leg member when in said second position in order to resist further outward lateral movement, said stabilizer means including four clips rigidly connected adjacent each of the lower lateral edges of said first opposed side walls, whereby said foldable bench may be extremely compact when said foldable leg members are in said first position and extremely stable when said foldable leg members are in said second position.
