Abstract
A lift device for selectively adjusting a vertical position of a power tool relative to a working surface of a plate of a work bench includes a carriage assembly securable to an underside of the plate. The carriage assembly includes a securement mechanism selectively adjustable for interchangeably securing a plurality of power tools of different cross-sectional dimensions to the carriage assembly. A drive assembly selectively moves the securement mechanism upward and downward relative to the plate to adjust the vertical position of the power tool relative to the working surface when the power tool is secured to the carriage assembly. A drive-locking mechanism selectively locks the drive assembly. The drive-locking mechanism includes a cam lock for selectively engaging the drive shaft to inhibit rotation of the drive shaft.

A lift device for selectively adjusting a vertical position of a power tool relative to a working surface of a plate of a work bench, the lift device comprising:
- a carriage assembly securable to an underside of the plate, the carriage assembly including
- a securement mechanism configured to be disposed below the plate when the carriage assembly is secured to the plate, the securement mechanism being selectively adjustable for interchangeably securing a plurality of power tools of different cross-sectional dimensions to the carriage assembly, and
- a drive assembly for selectively moving the securement mechanism upward and downward along a drive assembly movement axis relative to the plate to adjust the vertical position of the power tool relative to the working surface when the power tool is secured to the carriage assembly;
- wherein the securement mechanism is selectively adjustable in a direction transverse to the drive assembly movement axis.
A lift device for a power tool comprising:
- a plate having an upper surface and a tool aperture extending from the upper surface through the plate;
- and
- a carriage assembly secured to the plate, the carriage assembly including
- a securement mechanism disposed below the plate, the securement mechanism being selectively adjustable for interchangeably securing a plurality of power tools of different cross-sectional dimensions to the carriage assembly below the tool aperture, and
- a drive assembly for selectively moving the securement mechanism upward and downward along a drive assembly movement axis relative to the plate to adjust a vertical position of a power tool relative to the tool aperture when the power tool is secured to the carriage assembly;
- wherein the securement mechanism is selectively adjustable in a direction transverse to the drive assembly movement axis.
A lift device for a power tool comprising:
- a plate having an upper surface and a tool aperture extending from the upper surface through the plate;
- a carriage assembly secured to the plate, the carriage assembly including
- a securement mechanism disposed below the plate for securing the power tool to the carriage assembly below the tool aperture,
- a drive assembly including a rotatable drive shaft coupled to the securement mechanism for selectively moving the securement mechanism upward and downward relative to the plate to adjust a vertical position of the power tool relative to the tool aperture when the power tool is secured to the carriage assembly;
- and
- a drive-locking mechanism for selectively locking the drive assembly, the drive-locking mechanism including a cam lock for selectively engaging the drive shaft to inhibit rotation of the drive shaft.
