Multi-position base assembly for tool

摘要

A base assembly removably and adjustably receives a tool and includes a base and a wall extending outwardly from the base. First and second openings are disposed in the wall. First and second cutouts are disposed in the wall to receive the tool. A pivot pin is removably received by the first and second openings. The tool is removably disposed on the pivot pin. A locking ring is disposed on the pivot pin. The locking ring is in a locked position to prevent movement of the pivot pin and in an unlocked position to allow movement of the pivot pin, thereby allowing the tool to be easily moved between positions and securely locked in a desired position.

1. A method of adjustably positioning a tool on a base assembly, comprising the steps of
aligning a first through hole in the tool with first and second openings in a fixed wall extending upwardly from a base of the base assembly; passing a pivot pin through the first opening, the first through hole and the second opening; rotationally fixing the pivot pin to the tool; rotating the pivot pin to position the tool about a longitudinal axis of the pivot pin; releasably passing a locking pin through a first through hole in the pivot pin to prevent further rotation of the pivot pin; and engaging the locking pin with a first recess formed in a first locking ring fixed on the wall and disposed about the pivot pin to lock the tool in a first position.
