ABSTRACT:
A versatile tool mounting assembly includes an elongated rail and a fixture mounted to the rail and capable of mounting a tool. The rail includes a pair of longitudinal channels and a pair of end braces rigidly attached to opposite ends of the channels. The end braces fixedly dispose the channels in laterally spaced relation to one another so as to define an open longitudinal passage extending between the end braces. The fixture is mounted to the longitudinal passage of the rail for sliding movement to any desired position along the rail and for rotational movement to any desired 360.degree. angular position about an axis extending transverse to the longitudinal passage of the rail. The fixture includes a platform disposed at the exterior of the rail and capable of mounting a tool, a shaft attached to the platform and extending through the longitudinal passage of the rail, and a fastener removably attachable to an opposite end of the shaft to releasably secure the fixture to the rail at the desired position therealong and at the desired 360.degree. angular position relative thereto. The assembly also includes a pair of shafts mounted to the opposite end braces of the rail and extending in opposite directions outwardly therefrom for rotatably mounting the rail between a pair of upright supports, and fasteners being removably secured to the shafts for securing the rail between the supports.
