Abstract
A sportsman sink having foldable legs is arranged to include a pump member to receive water from available water supplies and direct such water through a faucet to an underlying sink. The table is arranged for interfolding of the legs and a wing plate for ease of positioning the table relative to an underlying support surface.
Claims3
A sportsman sink apparatus, comprising,
- a table plate, the table plate including a sink cavity directed into the table plate, and the sink cavity having a sink cavity floor, and
- a faucet mounted to the table plate in adjacency to the sink cavity extending over the sink cavity, and the faucet including a faucet valve to selectivity direct fluid flow through the faucet, and
- the cavity floor having a drain opening, and
- a flexible drain conduit extending from the opening below the table plate, and
- a resilient mat member mounted to the table plate in adjacency to the sink cavity for frictional engagement of workpiece components mounted upon the resilient mat, and
- an extension plate, the extension plate including a hinge to pivotally mount the extension plate to the table plate, and
- the extension plate includes a support web, the support web having a web axle pivotally mounting the support web to the extension plate to provide for engagement of the support web, and a continuous skirt mounted to the table plate extending downwardly therefrom in an orthogonal relationship, wherein the support web is arranged for selective engagement with the skirt, and
- the skirt has a first side wall spaced from and parallel a second side wall, the first side wall including a first side wall opening extending into the first side wall from a lowermost edge of the first side wall, and the second side wall including a second side wall opening extending into the second side wall from the lowermost edge of the second side wall, with a first opening and a second opening arranged in a coaxially aligned relationship to receive a rail member therewithin, and the skirt including a skirt front wall and a skirt rear wall, and
- a plurality of support legs mounted to the table plate within the skirt, each of the support legs includes a first tube and a second tube telescopingly received within the first tube, and the first tube having a spherical head spaced from the second tube, and a support rod, the support rod including a pivot axle pivotally mounting the support rod to the table plate, and the support rod having a support rod free end and support rod threads, and the support rod further including a latch rod orthogonally oriented and directed into the support rod, wherein the latch rod includes a latch rod spring captured between the support rod and the latch rod biasing the latch rod in a projected relationship relative to the support rod, and the latch rod further including a latch rod abutment, and a latch rod aperture directed through the skirt in adjacency to the latch rod to receive the latch rod when the support rod is orthogonally oriented relative to the table plate, and the support rod free end further including a resilient friction pad and the spherical head arranged for engagement with the friction pad, and a lock sleeve threadedly directed about the support rod threads and the lock sleeve including a lock sleeve flange, and the spherical head captured between the lock sleeve flange and the friction pad, whereupon securement of the lock sleeve about the support rod secures the spherical head against the friction pad to maintain alignment of the first tube and the second tube relative to the support rod.
