ABSTRACT:
A compact portable workstation designed for the tradesman and equally for the home person. In closed position, the workstation is small enough to transport by car. In open position, the workstation provides an enormous uniquely inviting work space and is inviting to perform almost any task upon. The workstation totes like an upright dolly and features two independent work surfaces (46,50) each which hinge atop the workstation and have folding legs (48,52) opposite hinges (54). Work surfaces (46,50) boast a size of 51.times.69 cm. and 51.times.74 cm. while the station base (8) is 31.times.41.times.84 cm. high. A middle leaf of the extended work surface doubles as a collapsible stool (38) which is 31.times.41 cm..times.36 cm. high. Full work surface length is 173 cm. Station base appropriately is designed to house heavier, bulky items in a bottom bin and by virtue of the two walled simplistic design structure, is easy to access bulky items. Similarly, three storage drawers (28) also access from two sides. Convenience pouches (32) are also provided and hang aside storage drawers (28). These can also be hung directly under either side of both work surfaces. Atop the workstation is an upper bin which has an open top. Stool (38) is stored here and as stated above functions as middle leaf. Legs (42) of stool (38) and work surfaces (48,52) are the same design but different material. These legs are U shaped and pivot on stationary braces (40,58) and have collapsing hinges (44,56) to obtain stability. Closed work surface legs (48,52) are hidden, except the ends which function as handles (64,66) to control the workstation while in transit.
