ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a portable workbench which includes a foldable support stand and a workpiece supporting and clamping assembly supported thereon. The workpiece supporting and clamping assembly has a base frame and a pair of elongated top members located on the base frame and defining upper work supporting surfaces lying generally in a common plane and having opposed side portions defining clamping surfaces. A clamping arrangement is operatively connected between the base frame and one of the top members for moving the latter toward and away from the other top member to provide for the clamping of workpieces between the top members. The support stand includes a pair of generally rigid frames, with each frame having spaced apart upper and lower longitudinally extending generally horizontal members. Pivot-like joints on the frames permit the frames to be pivoted relative to one another between an open support position where the frames are angularly arranged relative to one another with their horizontally extending members being in spaced apart relation, to a folded position wherein the frames are in juxtaposition to one another. Resilient clips on said base frame releasably engage with the uppermost horizontally extending members when the support stand is in the open support position to secure the workpiece supporting and clamping assembly to the support stand when in use and to permit the workpiece supporting and clamping assembly to be removed therefrom to facilitate handling and storage of the portable workbench.
