       [0001]    This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/211,028 filed Mar. 26, 2009, and entitled, PORTABLE FINISH CARPENTER WORK STATION, and invented by Richard T. DeSpain, Midvale, Utah, wherein the entire subject of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0003]    The present invention relates to a workbox storage system. In particular, there is a work box that enhances the work environment for construction workers, and in particular, finish carpentry work, and other key unique features that will become apparent after a complete review of the specification and drawings regarding the present invention. 
         [0004]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0005]    The modern construction professionals are required to move all their equipment for each and every new construction sites. Most construction sites do not provide for any safe and convenient carpentry work stations or tool storage areas. Many construction sites also have disorganized work surfaces filled with mud, rocks, discarded wood, bushes, weeds, trees, brush, uneven ground, soft grass, tire ruts, and much more. Additionally, the numbers of tools that must be relocated to each site are legion. There are small hand tools, like hammers, screwdrivers, files, nails, screws, levels, chalk lines, etc. There are large electric and pneumatic tools like band saws, routers, miter saws, circular saws, table saws, nail guns, drills, grinders, sanders etc. Then there is the problem of providing a flat work surface to use during the operation of many of the tools and equipment. Add to that, there is a need for both electric and pneumatic power supplies and plug-ins. Thus, there have been many inventions for tool carts enabling contractors to move their tools around the job site and to have a flat work bench. Improvements have been made in the field, and examples are described below, wherein the supported teachings of each reference are herein incorporated by reference from each of the following cited patents, for example: 
         [0006]    U.S. Pat. No. 2,672,349, issued in 1952, teaches the use of a mobile workbench having wheels for mobility. 
         [0007]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,230,329, issued in 1980, teaches the use of a mobile cart having a remotely controlled retractable support wheel assembly and a support frame adapted to support and transport doors and the like carried along with a carpenter&#39;s other wood working tools. 
         [0008]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,878,554, issued in 1989, teaches of a battery motorized mail cart to be used by mailpersons in delivering mail from the U.S. Postal Services. 
         [0009]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,224,531, issued in 1993, teaches of a portable shop for storing tools in an organized fashion and that also converts to a combination saw table, router table and workbench. 
         [0010]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,764,697, issued in 1998, teaches of a transmitter for a radio control device used to remote control a movable device. 
         [0011]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,885,159, issued in 1999, teaches of a system for and method of remotely controlling the operation of toys using radio frequency transmitters and receivers. 
         [0012]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,005,508, issued in 1999, teaches of a remote transmitter receiver controller system used to remotely control devices using transmitters and receivers on a transmission frequency. 
         [0013]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,170,839, issued in 2001, teaches of a tool cart with a tool chest, a hand truck, a tool box, extension cord reel, and at least one side storage bag. 
         [0014]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,659,565, issued in 2003, teaches of a motorized hand truck for driving and steering a wheeled accessory and is removably connected to the hand truck to be powered and directed in response to operation of the hand truck. 
         [0015]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,848,968, issued in 2005, teaches of a communication system for radio controlled toy vehicles. 
         [0016]    U.S. Pat. No. 7,306,245, issued in 2007, teaches of a multipurpose work site utility charier that configures into a dolly and hard truck in its retraced mode and a work bench in its elevated mode. 
         [0017]    U.S. Pat. No. 7,374,184, issued in 2008, teaches of a portable table for table saws having a pair of removable horizontally extending handles. 
         [0018]    The inventions described in the patents heretofore, suffer from a number of disadvantages. For example, all patents teach of using wheels that will easily sink into soft dirt or mud that is very typical in and around construction sites. The sinking wheels will imbed in the dirt so far as to cause the bottom of the tool box to get stuck there and prevent easy movement of the tool box. Additionally, the simple weight of the tool filled tool box alone will cause the wheels to sink into grass lawns, which is not desired by home owners with nice lawns. Moreover, wheels do not easily move over rocks, lumber, piping, cords, cracks in cement and anything else creating an uneven surface. 
         [0019]    Additionally, the cited art teaches the use of wheels because construction workers have typically been strong robust workers, and if they were not such, they were eliminated from such construction profession. However, new laws have now prevented discrimination based on physical abilities and now allow for woman and disabled people to now have such construction professions. None of the cited art either singularly or in combination teaches of easily movable tool boxes and non-sinkable wheel designs. 
         [0020]    Additionally, the cited prior art does not teach of practical, integrated or elegant designs for providing adequate work surfaces and compact tool storage. These new designs need to include allowing proper storage for the numbers of tools that must be relocated to each site. These new designs also need to include storage of small hand tools, like hammers, screwdrivers, files, nails, screws, levels, chalk lines, etc. Additionally, these new designs must include storage for large electric and pneumatic tools like band saws, circular saws, table saws, nail guns, drills, grinders, sanders etc. The new designs must additionally include storage for providing a flat work surface to use during the operation of many of the tools and equipment. Add to that, the new designs must include storage for both electric and pneumatic power supplies and plug-ins. 
         [0021]    What is needed is a movable tool box that solves one or more of the problems described herein and/or one or more other problems that may come to the attention of one skilled in the art upon becoming familiar with this specification, drawings and appended claims.

         [0053]    Referring now to at least  FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, there is a perspective view of the apparatus  10  depicted in a fully deployed state, according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus  10  may comprise in an embodiment a generally tool box frame body  30 , which further comprises a bottom panel  31  and plurality of outer side panels; including a first panel  32 , a second panel  33 , a third panel  34 , a fourth panel  35 , and a fifth panel  36 . Each panel  32 - 36  may be made of a durable, rigid material with a high strength to weight ratio, such as thermoplastic, aluminum, wood, or the like. The panels  32 - 36  may be designed to fold up from a side of the frame body  30  via a hinge  68  or the like, thereby forming a large, flat work surface as illustrated. 
         [0054]    The apparatus  10  may further comprise a large interior space  40  defined by the frame body  30 , which provides a storage area for the tools, equipment, sliding storage bins and the like. The interior space  40  may be envisioned to be accessed therethrough a first opening  41  located on a first side  20 , a second opening  42  located on a second side  22 , and a third opening  43  located on a third side  24 . The first panel  32  may be hingedly  68  attached to an upper end of the first side  20  of the frame box  30 , and allows access thereto and a cover for the interior space of the first opening  41 . 
         [0055]    The second panel  33  may allow access thereto and a cover for the interior space third opening  43  located on a third side  24 . The second panel  33  is hingedly  68  attached to the third side  24  at an end of the first panel  32 . 
         [0056]    The third panel  34  may be hingedly  68  attached to an upper end of the second side  22  of the frame box  30 , and allows access thereto and a cover for the interior space by the second opening  42 . The first panel  32  may be supported on the fourth side  26  by a first leg  54  (not shown in this figure). 
         [0057]    The first leg  54  is envisioned to retract, fold, and fasten to an underneath surface of the first panel  32  in a folded state and unfasten, unfold, and extend to a ground surface when in a deployed state. The second panel  33  may be supported on the third side  24  by a second leg  56 . The second leg  56  may retract, fold, and fasten to the underneath surface of the first panel  32  when in a folded state and unfasten, unfold, and extend out from the first panel  32 , in order to support the second panel  33 , and contact the ground surface when in the deployed state. 
         [0058]    The legs  54 ,  56  may be fasten to the underneath surface of the first panel  32  via a magnet, a latch, a pin, or the like and may lock in an extended or a retracted position via a spring pin, a button pin, a quick release pin, or the like. 
         [0059]    The third panel  34  is envisioned to be supported on the fourth side  28  by the first leg  54  and on the third side  24  by the second leg  56 . The first leg  54  may retract, fold, and fasten thereto an underneath surface of the third panel  34  in the folded state and unfasten, unfold, and extend thereto a ground surface when in the deployed state. The second leg  56  may retract, fold, and fasten thereto the underneath surface of the third panel  34  when in the folded state and unfasten, unfold, and extend out therefrom the third panel  34  and contact the ground surface when in the deployed state. An extending member  57  may provide an extension means thereto the second leg  56 . 
         [0060]    A hydraulic cylinder  59  may be attached between an outside top edge of the bottom panel  31  and the first panel  32  and between an opposing outside top edge of the bottom panel  31  and the third panel  34 . Thus, this arrangement provides a way of assisting in the unfolding and deployment of the first and second panels  32  and  34 . The hydraulic cylinder  59  is envisioned to comprise features similar to other common hydraulic lifting and support cylinders, such as a cylinder barrel, a piston rod, and end devises and attach thereto the panels  31 ,  32 ,  34  via standard mechanical hardware. 
         [0061]    The fourth panel  35  may hingedly attach to an upper end of the third side  24  of the frame box  30  and allows access to and a cover for an interior space by the fifth opening  45 . 
         [0062]    The fifth panel  36  may hingedly attach to an upper end of the fourth side  26  of the frame box  30  and allows access to and a cover for an interior space by the fourth opening  44 . 
         [0063]    The fourth panel  35  and fifth panel  36  rest on a cross member  38  when in the folded state. When in the deployed state, the fourth panel  35  is supported by an extended first handle  52  (see  FIG. 2 ) and the fifth panel  36  is supported by an extended second handle  53  (see  FIG. 2 ). 
         [0064]    The apparatus  10  enables large carpentry power tools to be mounted thereon, providing a way of storing, transporting, and setting up the tools at a workspace in a time and space saving manner. For example, in one embodiment there is deployed a table saw  60  mounted to an underside surface of panel  32 , having a saw blade extend through a blade aperture  61 . 
         [0065]    In another embodiment, there is illustrated a miter saw  63  mounted to a top surface of the fourth panel  35 . 
         [0066]    Further, in another embodiment there is a router  64  that may be mounted to an underside surface of the third panel  34 , which has the router bit extending through a bit aperture  65 . 
         [0067]    In  FIG. 3 , there is illustrated, in one embodiment, the apparatus having further key features. There may be at least one safety fence  94  and/or  96 , which provides a cutting guide that attaches and tightens to the top of the first panel  32  and/or third panel  34  respectively. The fences  94  and  96  may be running from a front  24  to a back  26  of the apparatus  10 . The fences are used to guide sheet plywood, or other wood, to circular saw  60 . It is noted that miter saw  63 , for example, still located in the apparatus cavity  40 . Also, opening  41  is also exposed to see under panel  32 . Additionally, it is noted that panels  33  and  37  are not rotated upward 90 deg. and are hingedly attached to their respective panels  32  and  34 . Further, insert panel  78  is not inserted into the location of panel  35 , since panel  35  is not in its open and mounted position. 
         [0068]    Reviewing  FIG. 4 , there is illustrated a fully extended flat work surface  100 . It is noted that panel  78  is inserted in the location vacated by panel  35 . Additionally, it is noted that none of the electric working tools are illustrated so that the work surface can be clearly viewed. 
         [0069]      FIG. 5  illustrates a perspective of a special feature on panel  33 . In particular, corner panel  92  is illustrated in a folded up position. Panel  92  raises the work surface to be closer to the height of support roller  66  so that at least the wood being worked by the miter saw  63  may has additional support. 
         [0070]    It is noted that the apparatus  10 , in yet another embodiment, further provides for at least two saw support roller members  66 , which may provide a similar function as that of a standard saw horse and provide a height adjustable support to longer work pieces or boards, which are intended to be cut. One or more of the saw support members  66  may be removably attached to the top surface of the appropriate panel superajacent to the appropriate leg. 
         [0071]    Referring to  FIG. 6 , there is a perspective view of the apparatus in a partially folded out state. It is noted that no fold out legs or mounted electric tools are illustrated to clearly show the folding out of the surfaces. It is particularly noted that panel  78  is to be inserted into the opening created after panel  35  has been pivotally opened 180 degrees. Also, support brackets  80  are put into supporting positions to hold up the weight of the miter saw (not illustrated). Further, panel  36  is illustrated in a partially rotated open position, but that the panel may rotate another 180 deg. so that it will not hinder a user from gaining access to the cavity  40 . 
         [0072]    Regarding  FIGS. 7 ,  8   a  and  8   b , there is illustrated a side view of the apparatus  10 , in one embodiment, which notably includes a clamp  67 , located on an outer edge of the third panel  34 . The clamp  67  illustrates a common screwable handle  82  that adjusts the height and may be used to lock over and clamp a piece of working material. The clamp  67  further rests in a recessed edge of the third panel  37  to be flush with the surface in a closed position. 
         [0073]    It is further noted, all of the panels  32 ,  33 ,  34 ,  35 ,  36  may be hingedly attached via a plurality of hinges  68  to the frame to allow for opening and closing of the panels in the illustrated design. In one embodiment, a first insert panel  78  may be removably located in the interior space of the fourth opening  44  to act as the lid for the vacancy left by panel  35  when in an open position. 
         [0074]    In at least  FIGS. 1 and 6 , in one embodiment, there is illustrated a potential plurality of multi-sized compartments  76  and/or drawers  86 , which provide a portable, removable storage means for commonly used hardware, fasteners, and the like. These drawers or compartments may be located in a variety of places in the apparatus  10 . For example, they may be located at end  24  or side  22 , and my be fixed or removably placed therein. 
         [0075]    The edges of the panels  32 ,  33 ,  34 ,  35 ,  36  may be rounded or comprise a flexible member between the seams of each panel. This design allows for a smooth surface which may minimalize the chances of scratching the material. 
         [0076]    Referring now to at least  FIG. 9 , there is a perspective view of one embodiment of the apparatus  10  depicted, according to one embodiment. In the fully collapsed state, the apparatus  10  provides a way for storing, securing, and transporting the entirety of the working area and interior tools. The apparatus  10  may use two (2) first wheels  50  located on the third side  24  and two (2) second wheels  51  located thereon the fourth side  26 . The second wheels  51  are envisioned to rotate along a vertical and horizontal axis, while the first wheels  50  are envisioned to maintain a rigid alignment along a vertical axis, thereby providing for easy steering of the apparatus  10 . A first handle  52  and the second handle  53  may exist to extend out as illustrated and retract into the frame body  30  and lock into position via a spring pin, a button pin, a quick release pin, or the like. The handles  52 ,  53  may provide a gripping and steering ability for maneuvering the apparatus  10 . The panels  32 ,  33 ,  34 ,  35 ,  36  are envisioned to secure and lock in the collapsed position, thereby providing physical security to the valuables, which are stored inside, via a locking mechanism  39 . 
         [0077]    The apparatus  10  may further have a third insert  73  which is envisioned to be removably inserted in the first or second handle  52 ,  53 . The third insert  73  comprises a cylindrical storage area  75  which provides a means for  25  storing long tools such as levels or the like and a miscellaneous storage area  79  which provides a means for storing miscellaneous items. 
         [0078]    Referring to at least  FIGS. 10 ,  11  and  12 , there is illustrated the apparatus in the various folding states and the key features provided therewith. Specifically, in  FIG. 10  there is illustrated the staggered positioning of rolling wood supports  66  when the panels  33  and  37  are folded up for storage. Wherein, panel  33  is shorter to not cover roller support mounted on panel  37 . In  FIGS. 11 and 12 , there is shown the step where panel  33  if opened 90 deg. outward, and panel  37  is opened 45 deg. outward. Additionally, both figs. show in phantom line of the panels when they are fully lifted up by 90 deg. to form the working surfaces.  FIG. 12  also shows that panel  35  is in its folded stage, but also shows in phantom that panel  78  will be placed therein when panel  35  is in its deployed position, which is also shown in its phantom panel  35  position. 
         [0079]      FIGS. 13 and 14 , in one embodiment, illustrate the folded apparatus with the slidable under side drawers  21  mounted thereon. 
         [0080]      FIG. 15 , illustrates one embodiment, where panel  35  is fully employed with fixedly attached miter saw  63  positioned thereon. Uniquely, support frame  80  is moved from its phantom lined position, next to frame  30 , and slidably moved upward at the bottom, and rotatably moved on the top end into a supporting position illustrated, to hold up the weight put onto panel  35 . Both the bottom and top end of support  80  will be locked into position in any known fashion. Additionally, any known slidable locking mechanism will work for the support frame  80 . It is noted that panel  78  is shown to have been inserted into the location that panel  35  has been rotated out of Further, it is also illustrated that the electrical device, shown in the form of a miter saw  63 , is illustrated that when panel  35  is rotated into its deployed position, that the saw is in a top side position, and ready to be used. 
         [0081]    Wherein, it is generally noted, other fixedly mounted electrical equipment, like routers and such, must be located under the table surface for meaningful usage. As such, all bottom mounted devices are positioned on the side panels  32 ,  34 , since those rotate upward 90 degrees to be in the working plane. Whereas, any top fixedly mounted working tools, like the miter saw, will be mounted on panel  35 , since it is rotated 180 degrees to be in the working plane. Thus, in the folded assembly, all of the electrical mounted tools can be folded into the inside cavity  40  of the assembly  10  during storage and transportation. 
         [0082]    Referring to  FIG. 16 , there is illustrated a side view of the assembly  10 . Specifically, there is shown the use of a motorized tractor system, which uses a remote control hand held radio frequency device  88 , and a motor control system  88  that drives the wheels  89  and  91  that move the treds  90 . The cited art teaches of several known ways to control a remote control vehicle, and are herein incorporated by reference in teaching how the motorized control system  88  and remote control device  95  would be configured and operate to achieve the desired moving of the toll system  10 . Having treds, instead of wheels, allows for easy movement of the often extremely heavy storage system over uneven ground and may causes less damage to soft ground or manicured lawns. 
         [0083]    Regarding  FIG. 17 , there is illustrated a side view with the phantom lines of the large electrical tools positioning during storage. It is understood that the apparatus  10  may have various types of tools, like jig saws, routers, and band saws, mounted to the panels  32 ,  34 ,  35 ,  36  in various configurations. Specifically, the mounted tools are specifically situated so that the tools do not interfere with one another while folded into the interior space  40  of the apparatus  10 . This large electric tool positioning provides for the compactness of the apparatus  10  when in a folded state. In particular, tool  63 , like a miter saw, is coupled to the top surface of panel  35  so that when the panel is rotated 180 deg. from its fully deployed state, it is located in the illustrated hanging down position and located at end  24 . Additionally, tool  64 , like a router, is coupled to the bottom surface of panel  34 , and is located in a central position in cavity  40 . Additionally, when panel  34  rotated upward 90 deg., the tool  64  is positioned on the bottom of the overall work surface, and has router bit sticking up and through the hole  65 . Thus, being fully deployed and ready to use. Further, tool  60 , like a circular saw, is coupled to the bottom surface of panel  32 , in a position near end  26  at a right side of the apparatus  10 . Thus, when panel  32  is rotated open 90 deg., the tool  60  is positioned on the bottom of the overall work surface of the apparatus  10  and the blade extends through blade hole  61 . It is further noted that cover panel  78  is illustrated in a stored position at the wall near end  26 . 
         [0084]    It is further noted that when panel  34  is rotated upward, that panel  37  is connected thereto, and thus will also rotate upward, but will not be in a deployed state, but will half deployed, like that shown in  FIG. 3 . Same arrangement exists for panel  32  and  33 . Thus, panels  33  and  37  work like two sheets of paper stacked on top of each other, where one can be slid out from under the other as the adjoining panels are moved accordingly. 
         [0085]    It is additionally noted that the positioning of the erected work surface  100  is located above and supported by the support structure  30 . The support structure may be designed, in one embodiment, in a rectangular shape (not fully visible) and positioned along the location of the edges of the tool box. One skilled in the art of making tool boxes of a larger structure than a hand held box would know of the design of the needed support structure, and the importance of the supporting nature thereof. The support structure may be made of metal square tubing. It may also be a single box shape (located along the edges of the box) or have intermediate supporting pieces like that at least illustrated in  FIG. 6 , that shows cross bar  38  and other support structure pieces  30 . 
         [0086]    2. Operation of the Preferred Embodiment 
         [0087]    The preferred embodiment of the present invention can be utilized by the average user in a simple and effortless manner, and with little or no training. The method of utilizing the apparatus  10  may be achieved by performing the following steps: transporting said apparatus  10  to a desired work area and disengaging the locking mechanism  39 , thereby unlocking the panels  32 ,  33 ,  34 ,  35 ,  36 . Then, the user would place the apparatus in a deployed state by rising the panels  32 ,  33 ,  34  by 90 degrees, and panel  35  by 180 deg. to create a desired work surface. Thus, the user now has access to the desired openings  41 ,  42 ,  43 ,  44 ,  45 , and to utilize the attached tools  60 ,  63 , and  64 . Next, the user would unfasten, unfolding, and extend the legs  54 ,  56 , that are mounted to the respective panels in each corner of the overall work surface  100 . The legs are mounted like most any known method known for foldable leg mounting to other tables and such. The legs are deployed to support the deployment of all panels  32 ,  33 ,  34 ,  35 ,  36 . After using the apparatus  10  during the course of the construction project, it is folded back and fully collapsed by returning any used tools to the interior space  40  by lowering the panels  32 ,  33 ,  34 ,  35 ,  36 . Whereby, the user may engage the lock  39  on the apparatus  10 , and again transport it to a new desired stored location. Thus, the present apparatus  10  benefits the user by providing for the complete storage, transportation, and utilization solution for various power tools used during construction projects, and in particular finish carpentry work. 
         [0088]    The apparatus  10  is designed to be of a size to allow a user to roll it without relying on a motor to move it, such as that illustrated in  FIG. 9 . This is designed to fit in the back of a typical user&#39;s truck, like a Ford 150®. The one embodiment that includes a motorized track could also leave off the track and just provide wheels. The directing of the motorized apparatus  10  can be done by hand held radio frequency remote control  95  or by any known other directional control device. 
         [0089]    The best mode for carrying out the invention is presented in terms of its preferred embodiment, herein depicted within the illustrated figures. However, the invention is not limited to the described embodiment, and a person skilled in the art will appreciate that many other embodiments of the invention are possible without deviating from the basic concept of the invention and that any such work around will also fall under scope of this invention. It is envisioned that other styles and configurations of the present invention can be easily incorporated into the teachings of the present invention, and only one particular configuration shall be shown and described for purposes of clarity and disclosure and not by way of limitation of scope. 
         [0090]    It is understood that the above-described embodiments are only illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiment is to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope. 
         [0091]    For example, although the illustrated invention describes certain electric mounted tools, any known or yet to be developed tools that need to be used by a construction worker, and in particular as finishing carpentry tooling. For example, shop vacuums, band saws, drill presses, crimping and bending tooling, band saws, band sanders, etc. 
         [0092]    Additionally, although the figures illustrate a certain location for each tool and panel, one skilled in the art will understand that these are completely interchangeable. For example, the panel  33  and  37  may be positioned at the other end, and the miter saw  63  could also be located at the other end of the assembly  10 . Additionally, the location of the motor  88  may be located in any position sufficient to drive the belt  90 . 
         [0093]    It is also envisioned that any number of legs may be positioned around the work surface  100  as is needed to maintain the integrity of the levelness of the surface thereof. 
         [0094]    Finally, it is envisioned that the components of the device may be constructed of a variety of materials. For example, the material could be metal, wood, plastic and combinations thereof. 
         [0095]    Thus, while the present invention has been fully described above with particularity and detail in connection with what is presently deemed to be the most practical and preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous modifications, including, but not limited to, variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use may be made, without departing from the principles and concepts of the invention as set forth in the claims. Further, it is contemplated that an embodiment may be limited to consist of or to consist essentially of one or more of the features, functions, structures, methods described herein.
