Multi-function hopper gun stand/tool holder/work platform

摘要

An apparatus includes a frame having a generally trapezoidal shape with a front side and a back side. The frame includes two pairs of legs in which each pair comprises a top joining rail. A base bar joins the two pairs at bottom ends on the front side. The top joining rails are operable for supporting a hopper of a texture gun. A hinged work surface has is rotatably joined to the frame between the top joining rails. The hinged work surface is rotatable from a first position, where the hinged work surface rests on top of the joining rails, to a second position where the hinged work surface hangs downward between the pairs of legs. A stretcher joins the legs at a distance above the base bar where an open side of the stretcher faces the front side and the distance is chosen to be above typical construction debris.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a frame having a generally trapezoidal shape with a front side and a back side, said frame comprising two pairs of legs in which each pair comprises a top joining rail joined to tops of said pair of legs and extending from said front side to said back side; a base bar for joining said pairs of legs at bottom ends of said pairs of legs on said front side; means for supporting a hopper of a texture gun and for enabling sliding of the hopper for removal of the hopper from the apparatus, in which said base bar is operable for stabilizing the apparatus while sliding the hopper; means for rotatably positioning a work surface on a top of said means for supporting from a downward hanging position between at least two legs of said means for supporting to a horizontal position at least being operable for supporting containers of joint compound; means for removably joining a mud pan to said supporting means; and a C shaped stretcher joining said at least two legs at a distance above said base bar where an open side of said stretcher faces said front side in order to leave one side open for the removal of said hopper of said texture gun.
