Problems solved by technology

The use of workbench top space in limited areas for supporting such power tools as saws, is undesireable since workbench top space is at a premium for carrying out many tasks.
Known structures are complex and subject to failure and are not designed to carry heavy loads between a storage position and an extended position for use.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention is a swing-out workbench extension for holding or mounting items such as power tools. The power tool on the extension swings out to a locking position and swings inward and downward underneath the workbench when not in use.

[0017] Referring to the Figures, swing-out workbench system 10 includes a workbench top 12 having legs 14 at at least its corners and lateral leg supports 16. Swing-out shelf extension 20 includes swinging uprights 22 supporting a swinging platform portion 24 having side members 26, a front member 28, and a rear member, platform portion 24 being free to swing forward and upward on front swing axles 32 and rear swing axles 34 at respective upper and lower ends of the swinging uprights 22. Platform front, side, and rear member are conveniently made of angle steel stock welded or otherwise attached to form the rectangular swinging platform 24.

[0018] Tool support cross members 36 are mounted at spaced locations to the side members 26 to ...

Abstract

The swing-out workbench extension of the present invention includes a rectangular swinging platform suspended from the top of a workbench by four swinging uprights on upper and lower axles between a lower stored position and an upper extended position. The rectangular swinging platform has at least one and preferably two tool support cross members extending between the respective opposed side members thereof. A latch is provided for releasably locking said rectangular swing platform in its said upper extended position. A heavy tool is connected to at least one cross member of the rectangular swing platform and is swingable outward from a stored position to an upper extended position and locked in place for use by a latch. The tool mounted on the rectangular swinging platform is also swingable downward to a stored position upon release of the latch.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to work benches. More particularly, the present invention relates to work bench extensions for supporting tools. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The use of workbench top space in limited areas for supporting such power tools as saws, is undesireable since workbench top space is at a premium for carrying out many tasks. It is known to provide a swing-away work surface addition. Known structures are complex and subject to failure and are not designed to carry heavy loads between a storage position and an extended position for use. It would be desirable to provide a workbench extension which is simple in design and sufficiently strong to support a power saw or other tool which can be moved to a storage position, out of the way of use of the workbench top, or moved into a position for use when need. Such a workbench extension could also be useful for additional work space wh...
