Patent ID: 7458403

Claim:
A folding stand for a cross-cut saw or the like, comprising: an elongate carrying body having ends on which legs are articulated, the legs being pivotal from a storage position, in which the legs are located generally parallel to the carrying body, into a use position, in which the legs are located trapezoidally in relation to one another, and a securing structure capable of releasably mounting the cross-cut saw on the carrying body, wherein the carrying body comprises a frame and the securing structure comprises brackets interacting with the frame; wherein the frame is a tubular frame having spaced-apart elongated horizontal tubular-frame legs defining a longitudinal frame interspace between the tubular-frame legs that extends from an underside of the frame to a top side of the frame, the tubular-frame legs connected at ends to cross-members which provide pivot bearings for the pivotal legs; wherein carrying plates positioned on the frame, and on which the cross-cut saw can be fastened, are clamped against the frame by the brackets engaging through the frame interspace from the underside of the frame to the top of the frame and interacting with pressure-exerting strips disposed on the underside of the frame; wherein at least two of the tubular-frame legs have extensions which can be drawn telescopically out of the tubular frame legs; wherein the extensions have support carriers at free ends which carry height-adjustable workpiece support carriers; wherein the workpiece support has a workpiece position stop; and wherein the workpiece position stop comprises a wire which is bent at an angle, can be adjusted transversely to a direction in which the extension extends and projects beyond a carrying shoulder, and which is associated in a T-shaped manner with workpiece carriers.
