Embodiment Construction

[0023]With reference to the Drawing, and initially to FIGS. 1 to 3 thereof, one preferred embodiment of the work stand 10 has a wall mounted base 12, which here is formed of a vertical rail member 14 with upper and lower wall mounting brackets 16 and 18. Mounted on the vertical rail member 14 are an upper pivot member 20 and a lower pivot member 22. In this embodiment, the upper pivot member 20 is situated in the middle portion of the rail member and the lower pivot member 22 is at the lower end. A swing-up support arm 24 is implemented as an elongated rail member formed of a length of square tubular steel. One end of the arm 24, i.e., a pivot end, is journaled in the upper pivot member 20, and its other end is considered its free end. A strut member 26 has one end, i.e., a lower end. pivotally supported in the lower pivot member, and its other end, i.e., its upper end, is attached to a slide bracket or sleeve 28 that is slidably mounted onto the support arm 24. A nosepiece 30 is mo...

Abstract

A work stand mounts against a wall of a garage, paint booth, or other work space, and has a swing-up support arm that is supported by a pivot-mounted strut. A holder or bracket mounts to a nosepiece at the free end of the support arm. The orientation of the arm and of the bracket can be selected for optimal positioning. The bracket can have support brackets for holding a door, hood, or trunk lid. A work table can be mounted onto the free end of the support arm. This work stand can be used to advantage to hold automotive doors, hoods, bumpers, or other body parts for sanding, painting, or buffing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to work stands for repair and construction of components or articles, and in particular is directed to a device for holding a workpiece in a convenient position for a repair or painting of an article. The invention is more specifically directed to a wall-mounted stand that can project out from the wall, and can swing or pivot up from a horizontal position to one or more raised positions, and which includes bracket(s) that can be positioned on the stand for holding a large component or article, e.g., for holding a bumper, hood, trunk lid, or door for repair or painting in an automotive body shop environment.[0002]There now exists a need for a convenient method for holding an auto body component at a convenient height for preparing, sanding, and painting during a body repair procedure. The present equipment for holding these items is usually bulky and heavy and requires some effort for the stand or table be moved into position wh...
