Patent ID: 8584601

Claim:
An apparatus for mounting to a vertical surface, comprising: (a) a frame having at least two longitudinally-extending and transversely-spaced longitudinal members, each longitudinal member comprising a plurality of longitudinally spaced notches extending inwardly from a front edge of the longitudinal member, at least some of the notches of each longitudinal member being vertically aligned with at least some of the notches of the other longitudinal member when the frame is vertically positioned; (b) a work bench having a working surface, side edges extending from the working surface and a pair of trunnion members extending from the side edges and releasably pivotably coupled to a first pair of aligned notches, and wherein each side edge comprises at least one indent; and (c) a bracing assembly having at least one bracing member and a pair of trunnion members extending from the bracing member and releasably pivotably coupled to a second pair of notches below the first pair of notches, the bracing member comprising a distal end for releasably engaging the work bench; the bracing assembly and work bench each being positionable relative to the frame in extended and collapsed positions, wherein when the work bench and bracing assembly are in their extended positions the distal end of the bracing member releasably engages the work bench such that the bracing assembly supports the work bench, and when the work bench and bracing assembly are in their collapsed positions, the work bench overlays the bracing assembly, wherein the trunnion members of the bracing assembly engage a pair of said notches such that the indents of the work bench receive the trunnion members of the bracing assembly when the work bench and bracing assembly are generally co-planar with the frame.
