Abstract
A folding stand (1) for a cross-cut saw or the like, has an elongate carrying body (4) for a cross-cut saw, at the ends of which two legs (3) are hinged. The legs pivot from a storage position, in which they are placed parallel to the carrying body (4), into an operating position, in which they are placed in a trapezoidal position relative to each other. The cross-cut saw is detachably fixed to the carrying body (4). The carrying body (4) is configured as a frame (4), while the fixing device forms brackets (5, 5′, 5″) interacting with the frame.
Claims20
A folding stand for a cross-cut saw or the like, comprising:
- an elongate carrying body having ends on which legs are articulated, the legs being pivotal from a storage position, in which the legs are located generally parallel to the carrying body, into a use position, in which the legs are located trapezoidally in relation to one another, and a securing structure capable of releasably mounting the cross-cut saw on the carrying body, wherein the carrying body comprises a frame and the securing structure comprises brackets interacting with the frame;
- wherein the frame is a tubular frame having spaced-apart elongated horizontal tubular-frame legs defining a longitudinal frame interspace between the tubular-frame legs that extends from an underside of the frame to a top side of the frame, the tubular-frame legs connected at ends to cross-members which provide pivot bearings for the pivotal legs;
- wherein carrying plates positioned on the frame, and on which the cross-cut saw can be fastened, are clamped against the frame by the brackets engaging through the frame interspace from the underside of the frame to the top of the frame and interacting with pressure-exerting strips disposed on the underside of the frame;
- wherein at least two of the tubular-frame legs have extensions which can be drawn telescopically out of the tubular frame legs;
- wherein the extensions have support carriers at free ends which carry height-adjustable workpiece support carriers;
- wherein the workpiece support has a workpiece position stop;
- and
- wherein the workpiece position stop comprises a wire which is bent at an angle, can be adjusted transversely to a direction in which the extension extends and projects beyond a carrying shoulder, and which is associated in a T-shaped manner with workpiece carriers.
5 more elements
A tool stand, comprising:
- a carrying support frame;
- a plurality of legs extending downward from the carrying support frame;
- at least one frame leg coupled to the carrying support frame, the at least one frame leg having an extension configured to be drawn telescopically out of said frame leg along an extension axis, the extension having an end;
- at least one height-adjustable workpiece support carrier coupled to the end of the frame leg, the height-adjustable workpiece support carrier having a workpiece position stop and a carrying shoulder, the workpiece position stop comprising a stop portion bent at an angle, the stop portion extending beyond the carrying shoulder, the stop portion being adjustable along an axis which is transverse to the extension axis;
- a tool mounting base positioned on top of the carrying support frame;
- and
- a clamp engaged with the carrying support frame, the clamp having a protruding lip releasably engaged with the tool mounting base;
- wherein the clamp further comprises:
- (a) an upper clamp portion positioned above the carrying support frame;
- and
- (b) a lower clamp portion positioned below the carrying support frame;
- and
- wherein the clamp is operable to transmit a clamping force which biases the upper and lower clamp portions toward each other.
