Workbench

A portable workbench including a top structure and a supporting structure for supporting the top structure above the floor, the top structure including a first part, a second part and a third part, said parts having respective flat, top working surfaces in a common plane and conjointly defining a three part vice, the first part being a first elongate vice member and the second and third parts together forming a second elongate vice member extending in side-by-side relationship with the first elongate vice member, the two elongate vice members having opposed clamping faces, first vice operating means being included for causing movement of the clamping face of at least one vice member towards and away from the clamping face of the other vice member, the second and third parts defining respective further clamping faces mutually opposed and extending in a direction transverse to the opposed clamping faces of the first and second elongate vice members, and second vice operating means being included for causing relative movement of the second and third parts in a direction parallel to the direction of elongation of the vice members to permit clamping of objects between the opposed further clamping faces of the second and third parts, the respective top surfaces of the three parts conjointly defining a continuous uninterrupted smooth work surface when the elongate vice members are brought together so that their respective clamping surfaces are in mutual contact and when the second and third parts are also brought together so that the further clamping surfaces are also in mutual contact.
