When the four seats are taken away and the tablecloth or cover on the table is removed, the table top FIG. The table top top surface has a number of symmetrically distributed holes Each hold is separated from adjacent holes by a distance which is less then the distance traveled by the screw of the jaw of the vise used to tighten and hold a work piece The distance separating the holes are also less than the length of the jaws of other types of clamps such as that of the hold fast or dog clamp Three of the skirt-like edges , , have a hollow rectangular cross section with a channel running down the middle of its external edge parallel to the plane of the top surface.
The skirt-like edges , , , have holes in different levels. In particular, two of the parallel skirt-like edges , have two parallel horizontal rows of matching holes , The skirt-like edges , also have two parallel horizontal rows of matching holes , The holes , , , in each level are equally separated from the adjacent holes in that level by the same distance separating the holes in the surface FIG.
The arrangement of the holes permits rods FIG. These rods can also be held in place firmly by screws. The surface has a first slot FIG. Except for one edge where the bars , of the tool supports are permitted to extend out from under the table top , the vertical width of the remaining edges , , should be as wide as possible but not so wide as to prevent a person from sitting comfortably at the table with their legs under the table top The surface and the skirts or edges , , , of the table top should be sufficiently thick to permit hold fast or dog clamps to be anchored in the holes of the table top The holes in the top surface and skirts , , , of the table top make it possible for the table to be used as a vise with the aid of stops , tightening rods , vice and the hold fast or dog clamps These holes are dispersed symmetrically over the surface of the table top to allow objects to be clamped on any side of the table in the various arrangements.
The object to be fastened or clamped can be placed on the surface of any part of the table top or on three of its skirt-like edges , , since the hold fast or dog clamps , stops and vice can be inserted in any hole in the table top Several objects can therefore be clamped or placed simultaneously, in any of the several holes of the table top or on three of its skirt-like edges , , The holes in the skirt-like edges , , , of the table top allow it to be crossed from below its surface by means of rods to allow large or voluminous objects to be clamped in a vertical direction.
In an alternate embodiment of the invention, depicted in FIG. Two of the parallel edges , have two parallel horizontal rows of matching holes , The other two parallel edges , also have two parallel horizontal rows of matching holes , Support surfaces , , are supported by the skirt-like edges , , by two rods Each of the support surfaces has an end block with a hollow rectangular cross section and has a channel running down the middle of the outer edge parallel to the top surface.
Each of the support surfaces , , has two parallel lines of holes which match those of the skirt-like edges , , supporting the support surfaces. These telescoping surfaces also depicted in FIG. The holes selected for receiving the rods of each of the telescoping surfaces are selected so that the rods will not interfere with each other when inserted fully into the table.
As depicted in FIGS. Each of the bars , supports a mounting surface , at its terminal end. One of the bars supports a mounting surface for receiving the holder of a drill and the other bar supports a mounting surface for receiving a holder of a mechanic's vise The conduits , have a square cross section and are hollow. These conduits also have a depth that is less than the skirt-like edges of the table top , and do not impede rods from being inserted into the skirt-like edges parallel to or perpendicular to the conduits.
The first conduit has a surface with holes for receiving screws for fixing both the rotational alignment of the bar and the length to which it is inserted in that conduit The second conduit also has a surface with performations for receiving screws for fixing the bar within the conduit The bars , are moveable within the conduits , When the bars are below the top , they have limited rotational movement and can be positioned for using the tools or for hiding the tools.
The bars , are fixed in their position by screws , that can be adjusted from holes in either the top surface or skirt-like edges of the table top The screws press the bars , up against a wedge on the inside of the conduits , FIG. The bars can be fixed in place by other mechanisms to be described below.
Tool holders , are connected perpendicularly to mounting surface , which are connected to the terminal end of each bar , and the bars are inserted into the conduits , that are set further back from the narrower skirt-like edge Screws , pass up through the mounting surfaces , into the respective tool holders , to fix the tool holders in the desired position in relation to the mounting surface.
The screw for fixing the drill holder to the mounting surface , is longer than the screw for fixing the vise holder to the mounting surface When the tool holder supports the electrical hand drill , this drill together with holder , which can be used as an additional handle, can easily be separated from the rest of the support.
Thus, the mounting surface that receives the drill holder has the central long screw The long screw can easily be screwed into the hollow threaded base of the drill holder Thus the drill holder can be quickly placed, fixed or separated from the rest of the support, by turning screw Similarly, a screw is fed up through the vise mounting surface into the vise holder to secure it in place and fix its rotational direction.
Cross braces are used to reinforce the table top when it is manufactured from a thin material and to keep the rods aligned properly. Holes are distributed in the cross braces and are matched to and aligned with the holes of the parallel skirt edges.
Referring now to FIGS. The combination of movements allows the vice to be placed in a desirable position and allows the electric hand drill to be placed in such a way as to allow the table to be used as a sander or polisher, to be placed in the desired angle for sharpening tools FIG. The tools that are held by the supports can be hidden under the board surface when it is used as a conventional table FIG.
The accessories that can be used with the foregoing table top include the tightening rods depicted in FIG. These are a little shorter than one side of the table top and at one end they have a vise that can clamp up against the edge of the board and hold relatively large work pieces. It also is useful for extending the support points of the board and as a guide for the disk or table saw.
The tightening rods have a stop that can be secured in one of the holes on the table top top surface or skirt like edges , , , Another accessory for use with the table top is the point depicted in FIGS. The point includes clips which when placed into the holes in the table top facilitate securing the point into place by turning the hex heads A hold fast, or dog clamp is depicted in FIG.
This is a walking cane shaped gripping jaw, that can be used as a clamp or to hold pieces. It only needs to have its post placed in one of the holes of the table top , the work piece placed under its gripping arm and then it can be tightened against the bench by striking the head of the dog barrel. Striking the side of the head loosens the clamp. Depicted in FIGS. This is an element just like the stop but that has a screw perpendicular to the pivot so that, as it is turned it can clamp an object against a stop FIGS.
At the bottom of the screw clamp , there is a post which when placed in a hole in the table top , and when pressure is applied by forcing the jaw against a fixed object, secures the vice from moving. The stops of FIGS. In FIGS. It has a free wheeling shaft which, at one end, can hold drill bits, disks etc. The bushing is secured into an electric drill to make the shaft of the bushing turn.
This bushing is used when the electric hand drill to be used with the table top does not have a collar for the drill holder to clamp on to. As depicted in FIG. The clamp head has a circular opening which can be tightened around the bushing FIG. It is desirable that the tool support bars , be fixable in relation to the table top both rotationally and with respect to the distance to which they extend outward of the conduits , Several mechanisms have been devised for fixing the position of the tool support bars , and are depicted in FIGS.
While these mechanisms are described in relation to one of the support bars, it should be readily understood that each support bar can be configured with any one of the mechanisms. In particular, in FIG. As will be readily understood, as the screw is turned to project further into the conduit , the screw will press the support bar against the wedge of the opposite wall fixing the position of the support bar both rotationally and with respect to its position within the conduit Running down the center of the length of the support bar , and passing through an opening at the distal end of the support bar , is a securing rod At one end of the securing rod there is a knob which can be rotated by a user.
At the other end of the securing rod there is a spacer for keeping the securing rod centered within the support bar A cam is fixed to the securing rod near the end closest to the spacer One or more ball bearings are provided within holes provided in the support bar The ball bearings are placed so as to be in contact with the surface of the cam When it is desired to move the support bar in relation to the conduit , the knob is turned so that the ball bearings have minimal or no contact with the conduit This is depicted in FIG.
When it is desired to fix the position of the support bar in relation to the conduit , the knob is turned so that the cam forces the ball bearings in contact with the conduit surface.
The present mechanism for fixing the position of the support bar will be readily understood with reference to FIGS. A further mechanism for fixing the position of the support bar within the conduit is depicted in FIGS.
In accordance with this mechanism, the support bar is a hollow rod made from a semi-rigid material. A securing rod is arranged within the support bar so that it extends outward of the support bar at one end and terminates in a securing knob so that the securing rod can be pushed inward or pulled outward in relation to the support bar. The opposite end of the securing rod extends outward of the other end of the support bar and terminates in a conical piston As shown in FIG.
The support bar is then free to move.
