Patent ID: 7731205

Claim:
A mobile saw stand brake system, comprising: a substantially handtruck-shaped main frame having a pair of elongated, laterally coextensive spaced-apart frame rails terminating at a first end in a transversely directed foot portion; a pair of wheels each having an external periphery and being rotatably connected to the main frame adjacent to the first end; a pair of swing-out legs pivotally connected to the main frame at a distal end from the first end so as to be movable between a stowed, closed position and an extended support position; a pair of brake lever arms each having a brake shoe end and a distal actuating end defining a midsection therebetween, the midsection of each lever arm being pivotally connected to the main frame such that the brake shoe ends are proximal to the wheel peripheries for engagement therewith; and, tension means connected to the main frame and the swing-out legs for actuating the brake lever arms when the legs are moved to the extended support position whereby the wheels are substantially prevented from rolling.
