Abstract

A collapsible table assembly having improved portability. A mechanism interconnects the table and supporting legs for moving the legs between a diverging supporting position, a folding position, and a storage position. A saw track assembly includes an upper platform for receiving a cutting device and a lower platform for supporting a workpiece during cutting connected to the upper platform. Each of the upper and lower platform are disposed above the table. A guide pin pivotally attaches the saw track to the table for allowing the saw track to pivot through a plane parallel to the table. A plurality of material supports supported by the table rotate between a first material supporting position for supporting a workpiece and a second unobstructing position for allowing the saw track to freely pivot through the plane without contacting the material supports.

Claims (16)

1. A table assembly for supporting a workpiece, said assembly comprising:

a front rail and a rear rail spaced from one another defining a periphery therebetween;

a material support supported by said front and rear rails and rotatable between a material supporting position for supporting the workpiece wherein a portion of said material support protrudes above said periphery and an unobstructing position wherein said material support is disposed fully within said periphery.

2. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further including a material support lock engaging said material support for maintaining said material support in one of said material supporting position and said unobstructing supporting position.

3. An assembly as set forth in claim 2 wherein said material support lock further comprises a locking spring engaging said material support, said locking spring movable between a compressed position and an uncompressed position such that said material support is rotatable between said material supporting and unobstructing positions when said locking spring is in said compressed position.

4. An assembly as set forth in claim 3 further including a material support stop adjacent said material support to restrict movement of said material support.

5. An assembly as set forth in claim 4 wherein said material support stop is supported by said rear rail.

6. An assembly as set forth in claim 5 wherein said assembly includes a plurality of said material supports, a plurality of said material support locks, and a plurality of said material support stops.

7. An assembly as set forth in claim 6 wherein each of said plurality of said material supports locks and said material support stops is associated with each of said plurality of said material supports.

8. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said table assembly further includes at least one material guide rotatably connected to one of said rails for movement between a guiding position to provide material guidance and a quiescent position to lie flush against said one of said rails.

9. An assembly as set forth in claim 8 further including a material guide lock engaging said material guide for locking said material guide in said guiding position.

10. An assembly as set forth in claim 9 wherein said material guide lock further comprises a guide spring engaging said material guide, said guide spring movable between a compressed position and an uncompressed position such that said material guide is rotatable when said guide spring is in said compressed position.

11. An assembly as set forth in claim 1 further including a tool pivotally attached to one of said front rail and said rear rail such that said tool may pivot through a plane parallel to said periphery.

12. An assembly as set forth in claim 11 wherein one of rear rail further includes a slide channel for receiving a slide such long said one of said front rail and said rear rail.

13. An assembly as set forth in claim 12 wherein said a track plate for pivotally connecting said tool to said slide.

14. An assembly as set forth in claim 13 wherein said a slide lock for preventing movement of said slide along said one of aid tool at a desired angle.
