Title: New line of compound plate for modular fixture
Inventor: VEINBERG LEONID S
IPC: B23Q3/02
Filed: 2006-02-23
Abstract: The Invention is a NEW LINE OF COMPOUND MODULAR FIXTURES USING A UNIFIED  EXTRUDED PROFILE WITH LENGTHWISE SLOTS TO CREATE ANY SIZE OF PRIMARY  PLATE AND ACCESSORIES FOR FIXTURES. The compound extruded profile concept allows to rapidly construct a modular fixture plate of any length or size. Using an extruded profile with lengthwise slots to create a modular fixture plate significantly decreases the manufacturing cost, while greatly increasing the rigidity of joints between the plate and accessories. Using lengthwise slots instead of a grid of threaded holes allows infinite adjusting of the position of fixture details on the plate. Graduated scales marked along slots simplify the setup process, and allows the setup to be recorded for future use.
