Combined sheet bending brake, table and coil support

A combined sheet bending brake, table and coil support comprising

• a sheet bending brake including a longitudinally extending base,
• a first member having a clamping surface mounted on and extending longitudinally of said base,
• a second member having a bending surface,
• means for hinging said second member to said first member about an axis extending longitudinally of said first member,
• an anvil member extending longitudinally of said first bending member,
• and means for clamping a workpiece by applying pressure to said anvil member to clamp a workpiece on the clamping surface of the first member,
• a table mounted on said sheet bending brake,
• said table overlying the sheet bending brake and extending horizontally and rearwardly from the anvil and longitudinally along the base,
• said table having an upper surface substantially planar and uninterrupted,
• and a coil support comprising a base,
• a pair of supports carried by the base,
• said supports including means for supporting a roll of sheet stock,
• means carried longitudinally of the base of said coil support and transversely of the base of the sheet bending brake for defining a flat clamping surface,
• and means for clamping the edge of the uncoiled sheet stock against said last mentioned surface,
• and means for mounting the base of said coil stand on the base of said sheet metal brake such that the axis of the roll of sheet stock extends transversely of the longitudinal axis of the sheet bending brake,
• said table being oriented over said sheet bending brake in a position adjacent the clamping means of the coil support so that uncoiled sheet stock can be supported on the planar, uninterrupted upper surface of the table over the sheet bending brake.

A combined sheet bending brake, table and coil support comprising

• a sheet bending brake including a base comprising spaced longitudinally extending rails,
• said sheet bending brake including a plurality of C-shaped members positioned on said rails at longitudinally spaced points,
• each said C-shaped member comprising a lower arm fixed to said base and an upper arm spaced from and overlying said lower arm,
• a first member having a clamping surface mounted on lower arms,
• a second member having a bending surface,
• means for hinging said second member to said first member about a longitudinal axis,
• an anvil member extending longitudinally of said first bending member,
• and means for clamping a workpiece by applying pressure to said anvil member to clamp a workpiece on the clamping surface of the first member,
• a table mounted on said sheet bending brake,
• said table overlying said C-shaped members and extending horizontally and rearwardly from the anvil and longitudinally along the base,
• said table having an upper surface substantially planar and uninterrupted,
• and a coil support comprising a base,
• a pair of supports carried by the base of the coil support,
• said supports including a plurality of rollers for supporting a roll of sheet stock,
• means carried longitudinally of the base of the coil stand and transversely of the base of the sheet bending brake for defining a flat clamping surface,
• and means for clamping the edge of the uncoiled sheet stock against said last mentioned surface,
• and means for mounting the base of said coil stand on the base of said sheet metal brake such that the axis of the roll of sheet stock extends transversely of the longitudinal axis of the sheet bending brake,
• said means for mounting said coil support base on said bending brake base comprising a plurality of mounting members, said rails of said brake being generally tubular and said mounting members being telescoped within said rails,
• said table being oriented over said sheet bending brake in a position adjacent the clamping means of the coil support so that uncoiled sheet stock can be supported on the planar, uninterrupted upper surface of the table over the sheet bending brake.

• and a table mounted on said sheet bending brake,
• said table overlying said C-shaped members extending horizontally and rearwardly from the anvil and longitudinally along the base,
• said table having an upper surface substantially planar and uninterrupted,
• means for mounting said table for movement from an operative position generally horizontal with respect to said clamping surface for supporting workpieces to an inoperative position rearwardly of said base of said sheet brake.
