Abstract

The subject invention provides a sheet bending brake assembly for securing a work piece. The sheet bending brake assembly includes a clamping member having a lower leg extending therefrom and a pivoting arm pivotally supported by and extending from the clamping member. The pivoting arm defines a clamping area with the lower leg. A base supports the clamping members and provides support to the assembly while moving the pivoting arm between the open position and the clamped position. A guide mechanism reacts between the clamping member and the pivoting arm for moving the pivoting arm between the open position and the clamped position. The guide mechanism has a guide slot with a detent positioned within the guide slot between the first and the second ends for positioning the pivoting arm in an intermediate position to allow for precisely aligning the work piece.

Claims (10)

1. A supporting device comprising:

a base having a front rail and a rear rail extending between a first end and a second end and being collapsible between a transport position and a support position;

a wheel mechanism connected to one of said ends and moveable between a rolling position and a working position, wherein said wheel mechanism extends substantially parallel to said base when in said transport position and said wheel mechanism extends substantially perpendicular to said base when in said support position;

a wheel brace supported by said wheel mechanism and defining slots having a generally U-shape for receiving said front rail and said rear rail;

a pivot coupling said wheel mechanism and said base and allowing said wheel mechanism to pivot between said rolling position and said working position; and

a locking device engaging said slots of said wheel brace for securing said wheel mechanism to said front and rear rails, wherein engaging said locking device locks said wheel mechanism in said rolling position and disengaging said locking device releases said wheel mechanism into said working position.

2. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said pivot is further defined as a pin engaging said wheel mechanism and said base.

3. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said locking device is further defined as including a locking pin between said wheel mechanism and said base.

4. A device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said wheel mechanism further includes a pair of wheels having a wheel support extending between said wheels and being connected to said wheel brace for transporting said device.

5. A device as set forth in claim 4 further including a wheel extension connecting said wheel support to said wheel brace such that as said wheel extension pivots, said wheel mechanism extends a predetermined amount below said base.
