Wheeled stand for table saw
View Patent ↗A wheeled stand for a table saw has a stand body, two wheels rotatably connected to the stand body, and a kickstand pivotably connected to the stand body. The stand body has a first side, a second side, an infeed side, and an outfeed side. The two wheels are disposed near the second side of the stand body. The kickstand disposed at the outfeed side of the stand body and has a folded position and an unfolded position in which the kickstand obliquely extends downwardly and away from the infeed side of the stand body. The kickstand can be unfolded and support the stand body at the outfeed side thereof during cutting a workpiece to prevent the wheeled stand from being tipped over.
1 . A wheeled stand for a table saw, the wheeled stand comprising:
a stand body having
a first side;
a second side opposite to the first side;
an infeed side; and
an outfeed side opposite to the infeed side;
two wheels rotatably connected to the stand body, disposed near the second side of the stand body, and respectively disposed near the infeed side and the outfeed side of the stand body, each one of the two wheels having an infeed-facing axial end facing toward the infeed side of the stand body and an outfeed-facing axial end facing toward the outfeed side of the stand body;
a kickstand pivotably connected to the stand body, disposed at the outfeed side of the stand body, and having a folded position and an unfolded position in which the kickstand obliquely extends downwardly and away from the infeed side of the stand body, when the kickstand is in the unfolded position, a downward-facing end of the kickstand at the outfeed side of the stand body is spaced apart, along a direction extending from the infeed side toward the outfeed side of the stand body, from the outfeed-facing axial end of one of the two wheels disposed adjacent the outfeed side of the stand body; and
a lock assembly connected between the stand body and the kickstand to keep the kickstand in either one of the folded position and the unfolded position, the lock assembly comprising a positioning seat, an unlocking handle, a locking pin, and a spring; wherein
the positioning seat is mounted to the stand body and has a first locking hole and a second locking hole arranged at an angular interval, the first locking hole corresponds to the unfolded position of the kickstand in position, and the second locking hole corresponds to the folded position of the kickstand in position;
the kickstand is pivotably connected to the positioning seat and is connected to the stand body via the positioning seat;
the unlocking handle is pivotably connected to the kickstand;
the locking pin is connected to the unlocking handle and selectively extends into one of the first locking hole and the second locking hole to lock the kickstand in either one of the unfolded position and the folded position;
the unlocking handle is configured to be pivoted to drive the locking pin for unlocking the kickstand;
the spring abuts against both the locking pin and the kickstand to push the locking pin away from the unlocking handle;
the unlocking handle has a pivoted portion pivotably connected to the kickstand, a pressing portion and a locking portion respectively disposed at opposite two sides of the pivoted portion;
the locking pin is connected to the locking portion; and
the pressing portion is configured to be pressed toward the kickstand to drive the locking portion with the locking pin away from the kickstand.
2 . The wheeled stand for the table saw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stand body is foldable.
3 . The wheeled stand for the table saw as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stand body comprises
a platform;
a first foot set connected to the platform; and
a second foot set connected to the platform.
4 . The wheeled stand for the table saw as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the first foot set is pivotably connected to the platform;
the second foot set is pivotably connected to the first foot set;
a connecting frame is pivotably connected to the platform and the second foot set; and
the two wheels are connected to the second foot set.
