Collapsible stand for a bench-top power tool

摘要

The present invention discloses a collapsible stand for a bench-top power tool, and a portable power tool therefore. The stand includes a plurality of legs spaced about a central axis and pivotally interconnected by a plurality of cross members. Each leg has an upper end for supporting the power tool and a lower end for contacting an underlying support surface in an expanded position of the stand. The stand may be collapsed wherein the legs and cross members collectively converge toward the central axis as the legs and cross members each translate towards an orientation that is parallel to the central axis.
