Support stands for movable support of power tools

摘要

A support stand for movable support of a power tool features the use of rollers to support a tool mount along an elongated track. The track features a cover arrangement disposed over the surfaces on which the rollers move so as to avoid sawdust or other debris from building up on the track and interfering with smooth rolling motion of the tool mount. The stand is assembled in a working position by attaching two stand sections end to end to form the track, and is also configured for arrangement into a collapsed condition in which the stand sections stack one atop the other for space efficient storage and convenient transport.

主权项

1. Support stand for rolling support of a power tool, the support stand comprising:
an elongated track comprising at least one rail and having two opposing ends spaced apart in a longitudinal direction; support legs coupled to the track at spaced apart locations along the longitudinal direction for depending downward from the track to a ground surface to support the track at an elevation thereabove; a movable tool mount comprising:
a tool support positioned above the track and arranged for mounting of the power tool thereon; androllers positioned below the tool support and carrying the movable tool mount on the track for rolling displacement of the movable tool mount in the longitudinal direction of the track; wherein each rail comprises at least one upward facing roller support surface on which at least one of the rollers rides along a length of said roller support surface that is measured between the opposing ends of the elongated track in the longitudinal direction, and a cover arrangement that is positioned above said at least one roller, fully spans across each said roller support surface in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and fully spans the length of the roller support surface between the opposing ends of the elongated track, thereby preventing sawdust or other debris from reaching and accumulating on the roller support surface.
