Abstract
An ammunition loading bench preferably including a cabinet movably mounted on supporting wheels and having a rigid top plate to which a loading press is connectable, with weights being connected to and hanging downwardly from the top plate to take forces exerted thereagainst, and with the plate and weights being detachable from the cabinet for use separately therefrom to mount a press with the plate resting on a generally horizontal support surface and held downwardly thereagainst by placement of the weights on the upper side of the plate. Desirably, in both uses, a foot pedal is connected to the plate, directly or indirectly, to exert downward force thereagainst resisting upward forces exerted by the press against the portion of the plate to which the press is mounted.
Claims27
A gun ammunition loading bench comprising:
- a cabinet adapted to be supported by a floor surface or the like and to project upwardly therefrom and having walls extending upwardly about a space within the interior of the cabinet;
- a rigid generally horizontal top plate extending across the top of said cabinet and adapted to mount an ammunition loading press and supported by said cabinet, with the load of the top plate being transmitted to the cabinet at a predetermined upper level near the top of the cabinet;
- a plurality of weights at the underside of said top plate and within said cabinet and spaced horizontally apart and having a mass sufficient to effectively resist displacement of said top plate by very substantial forces exerted thereagainst upon actuation of said loading press;
- and
- connector means attaching said weights at upper ends thereof to said top plate in depending relation, with the mass of said weights being suspended from the top plate and hanging downwardly therefrom to a level well below said upper level at which the load of the top plate is taken by said cabinet.
A gun ammunition loading bench comprising:
- a cabinet adapted to be supported by a floor surface or the like and project upwardly therefrom;
- a rigid top plate carried by an upper portion of said cabinet and extending generally horizontally and constructed to mount an ammunition loading press;
- a plurality of weights carried at the underside of said top plate within said cabinet and having a mass sufficient to prevent displacement of said top plate by at least some of the very substantial forces exerted thereagainst upon actuation of said loading press;
- and
- connector means for securing said weights to said top plate and detachable to permit separation of the weights from the top plate;
- said top plate and said weights being removable from said cabinet and adapted to be used separately from the cabinet with said plate resting on a generally horizontal surface and carrying a loading press, and with said weights resting on a portion of said plate to hold it downwardly on said horizontal surface.
The combination comprising:
- a rigid mounting plate adapted to be placed on a generally horizontal surface;
- an ammunition loading presss connected to said plate near an edge thereof, and
- weight means placed upon the upper side of said plate and holding it downwardly against said surface and resisting displacement of the plate by forces exerted by said press.
A loading bench comprising:
- a cabinet to be supported on a floor suface and having generally vertical outer walls;
- a top plate connected to the top of said cabinet and having a portion projecting horizontally beyond one of said outer walls of the cabinet;
- means for mounting ammunition loading equipment on said plate;
- and
- a stabilizer leg assembly adapted to project upwardly from said floor surface and connect to and support said portion of said top plate at a location offset horizontally beyond said one outer wall of the cabinet.
