Benefits of technology

The present invention is a portable drill press apparatus that is easy to assemble, adjust, and use. It consists of a base plate with a large hole and an adjustment plate with a matching hole. A guide plate is connected to the adjustment plate with guide bolts, and a drill clamp is attached to the guide plate. The apparatus can be used with a portable drill. Overall, this invention makes drilling easier and more convenient.

Problems solved by technology

One drawback to using a portable drill is lack of guidance during drilling.
While large drill presses can drill perfectly perpendicular, evenly distributed patterns of bores using bulky guidance mechanisms, portable drills lack such guidance mechanisms.
A tired worker or one with a very powerful or otherwise difficult to control portable drill may inadvertently misalign the portable drill.
Furthermore, workers with limited ability to measure drilling areas or workers with limited visual and positioning capability, such as a worker drilling in a cramped or awkward position, may also accidentally misalign the portable drill.
Such misalignment can create difficulty when connecting building materials, and may cause damage to the building materials and lead to waste.
An improperly angled bore may prevent fasteners from sufficiently penetrating building materials, resulting in unsafe installation and construction.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIGS. 1a through 1g illustrate perspective, top, bottom, front, back, right side, and left side views, respectively, of an exemplary embodiment of portable drill press 100. Referring now to the drawings, the present invention is directed to portable drill press 100 for a portable drill terminating in a drill bit D (shown in FIG. 1c). Portable drill press 100 includes a base plate 110 removably connected to an optional edge plate 120. Base plate 110 is parallel to and moveably connected to an adjustment plate 130. Guide bolts 140a and 140b extending vertically from adjustment plate 130 slidably connect to a guide plate 150 through bolt sleeves 160a and 160b, respectively. A back plate 170 connects guide plate 150 parallel to a drill clamp 180 or an alternate drill clamp 185 (described in further detail in relation to FIG. 2 below). As used in this application, the term “plate” refers to a substantially flat, planar piece of material.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a portable drill press apparatus for drilling a bore perfectly perpendicular to a surface. This apparatus includes a horizontal base plate having an enlarged aperture and a horizontal adjustment plate having an adjustment plate aperture. The adjustment plate is parallel to and releasably connected to the base plate by a plurality of releasable fasteners extending through a plurality of adjustment slots in the adjustment plate. A plurality of guide bolts extends vertically from the adjustment plate through a horizontal guide plate, the guide plate being parallel to the adjustment plate and slidable along the plurality of guide bolts. The guide plate has a guide plate aperture. A vertical back plate interconnects the guide plate and at least one drill clamp, the guide plate and drill clamp extending parallel to each other. The drill clamp has a variably-sized drill aperture for clamping a portable drill.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is generally directed to a tool accessory. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a portable stand or support for positioning a portable drill.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is primarily directed to a portable tool support for workers who use portable drills in construction. Portable drills provide significant utility in the field. They allow workers to drill bores for installation of building materials and component fasteners. In some cases, the portable drill can also drive the fasteners. While some building materials may come with pre-drilled bore patterns for assembly, conditions in the field may require alterations to the bore pattern. Other materials may require drilling entirely on the fly. Portable drills also allow workers to drill in difficult-to-access areas or areas with very limited space and movement.[0003]One drawback to using a portable drill is lack of guidance during drilling.
