Title: Pop-up Bench Surfing Trainer

Description:
All of the drawings have a border around them, and the Figure, number, and letter are outside the box which represent that drawing in the drawing descriptions. There are 22 pages of drawings. The Pop-up Bench Surfing Trainer will now be referred to as (PBST). All dimensions are in decimal inches. The drawings with the welds described have the leaders with text, symbols, and are numbered with roman numerals. Some dimensions are given more than once to prove that drawing is also accurate. All screw and bolt dimensions will be to the center. The bench will have a 0.5″×2.0″ wood wrap around the perimeter of the 3 layers of plywood to hide the layers of the plywood and give the bench a finished look which will only be shown in  FIG.  1    and  FIG.  21   . The bench will also include skateboard grip tape for the purchaser to put on the bench where they want it to be for their pop-up position desires. All bolts will have two washers and a lock washer. Because the skateboard tape may vary in position it is not pictured in the drawings. 
    
    
       FIG.  1    is a drawing of the top view of the bench which will be sanded plywood, with skateboard tape (not pictured), with the screw pattern to attach it to the other layers of plywood with wood screws. The wood part of the bench is 24.0″ by 96.0″ (those dimensions do not include the wood surround). The screws will be 1.75″ long and countersunk flush into the plywood at the surface. The top sheet of plywood will not be glued so it can be replaced. The screws on the ends of the bench will be 1.50″ from the ends of the bench, 1.00″ from the longer sides of the bench, and 5.50″ from each other. The screw rows parallel to the longer sides of the bench will be 5.00″ from the sides of the bench, 12.750″ from the ends of the bench, and 5.875″ from each other. The little dots on the feet of the bench represent holes to put 0.25″ diameter screws through the feet to anchor the bench to the surface the bench is sitting on. The 0.50″×2.0″ wood surround is seen around the perimeter and labeled with a leader arrow. 
       FIG.  2    is a drawing of the bottom view of the wooden part of the bench. The drawing has 1″×2″ square aluminum tubing along the perimeter 1.625″ from the edge of the longer side of the bench and 2.5″ from the edge of the shorter side of the bench with butt welds attaching it at the corners. The drawing also has 0.25″ thick aluminum pieces welded to the 1″×2″ aluminum tube and attached to the 3 layered plywood deck with 0.25″ and 0.75″ diameter bolts. The dimensions of the eight pieces used for—bolting the bench to the legs are touching the 1″×2″ aluminum frame and then 3.0″ from each other. The 0.25″ thick aluminum piece the lying flat against the deck, with the eight perpendicular pieces used for bolting the legs of the bench welded to it and the bolts attaching it to the wooden deck is 7.0″ wide. The bolts holding the 1″×2″ aluminum tubing to the plywood is all centered down the tubing, starting in the center of the corners, and are 11.643″ from the bolts on the corners and then 13.143″ from each other after that. The row of bolts closer to the ends are 0.75″ diameter bolts 6.0″ from each end and 9.625″ from the longer sides. The remaining four bolts are 10.0″ from each end and 9.625″ from the longer sides. The little dots in the drawing around the perimeter and down the middle running parallel to the longer sides represent screws fastening the two 0.75″ pieces of plywood together after having glued applied to the touching surfaces. The screws will be 1.0″ from the edges of the plywood layers and then starting from the corner screws 5.50″ from each other on the shorter side and 5.875″ from the longer side. 
       FIG.  3 A  Is a drawing of the side view of the bench with the 3 layers of plywood bolted to the 1″×2″ aluminum tubing and the 0.25″ aluminum parts welded together for attachment to the plywood layers and upright legs of 3″×3″ aluminum tubing. The plywood deck will consist of the following: 2 layers of 0.75″×24″×96″ sanded fir plywood, and 1 layer of 0.5″×24″×96″ sanded fir plywood on the top layer. The first two layers of the 0.75″ thick plywood will be glued and screwed together. All bolts will be through the first layer of plywood and counter sunk into the second layer of plywood. The top layer of plywood will be screwed down and not glued for easy replacement if too much wear and tear results or the skateboard deck gets to worn and the replacement of the plywood would be better than scraping off the skateboard deck tape. The bolts are two different sizes: four at 0.75″ in diameter and eight at 0.25″ in diameter and both sides are the same. The holes drilled through the aluminum will be 0.75″ in diameter and 0.25″ in diameter depending on the size of the bolt which will attach the metal to the plywood part of the bench. The countersunk holes in the middle of the plywood will be all the way through the plywood and be 2.750″ wide for the 0.75″ diameter bolts and 1.50″ for the 0.25″ diameter bolts. The countersunk holes will be at the same dimensions as the bolt hole locations described in paragraph [0003]. 
       FIG.  3 B  has the angle of the 0.25″ thick aluminum welded part, which will have holes drilled for putting the 0.75″ bolts through to attach the metal to the legs of the bench to the wooden deck. The center of the holes for the bolt to attach the legs is 5.00 inches from the perpendicular part of the 0.25″ thick aluminum that is laying flush against the bottom piece of plywood. And 8.00″ inches from the edge of the plywood which would figure as 5.50″ from the outer edge of the 1″×2″ aluminum tubing. There will be a 112° cut from the base and each side of each 0.25″ aluminum piece that attaches the legs to the welded 0.25″ aluminum piece then attached to the plywood deck.
