Claim Text:
1. A collapsible, self-jacking mobile power tool stand, comprising: an elongated power tool bed having first and second ends for removably supporting a power tool; a substantially handtruck-shaped bed support having an upper end laterally slidably connected to the power tool bed, an intermediate lever arm portion and a distal foot portion having a preselected length terminating in a free end and forming a preselected foot portion angle with respect to the lever arm portion, wherein the bed support is movable with respect to the power tool bed between stowed and extended positions; a pair of swing-out legs having upper ends pivotally connected adjacent the power tool bed first end and distal free ends for contacting a substantially planar support surface, the legs being pivotable between stowed and extended positions; a pair of struts, each strut having a first end pivotally connected adjacent the power tool bed first end and a distal second end pivotally connected to the bed support so as to be pivotable between stowed and extended position forming an angle α between each strut and the power tool bed in the extended position; and, a pair of wheels each having a preselected radius R and being rotatably connected to the bed support for rolling the stand on the support surface when the bed support, struts, and legs are in their respective stowed positions and so that when the bed support, struts, and legs are in their respective extended positions the wheels are lifted from the support surface and the stand is primarily supported by the leg and the foot portion free ends, including a biasing mechanism interconnected between the struts and the power tool bed to at least partially counterbalance a power tool on the power tool bed and to bias the struts and the bed support toward their respective extended positions.
