Portable work stand

Abstract

A portable work stand including a table, having a frame, the frame having rails, stiles, and a crosstray, the cross tray located between the rails and attached on each end to a stile, the cross tray further having a pair of leg retaining slots formed in the bottom of the cross tray; a plurality of legs, the legs having a foot section and upright sections, the upright sections located at each end of the foot, the upright sections having ends adapted for rotatable attachment to the frame, the legs, when are positioned adjacent the frame, selectively mate with the leg retaining slot, retaining the legs in a folded position; a bag joined to and extending through the frame; and a cutting board adapted for selective attachment to the frame.

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . A portable work stand comprising: 
 a. a table having a frame, and a crosstray, the cross tray located within the frame and attached thereto, the cross tray further having a pair of leg retaining slots defined in the bottom of the cross tray;    b. a plurality of legs, having ends adapted for rotatable attachment to the table, such that when the legs are folded adjacent the table the legs will selectively mate with the leg retaining slot and retain the legs in a folded position; and    c. a cutting board adapted for selective attachment to the table.    
     
     
         2 . A portable work stand comprising: 
 a. a table having a frame, the frame having rails, stiles, and a crosstray, the cross tray located between the rails and attached on each end to a stile, the cross tray further define a pair of leg retaining slots;    b. a plurality of legs having a foot section and upright sections, the upright sections joined to the foot sections, the upright sections having ends adapted for rotatable attachment to the table, the upright sections having a length such that when the legs are folded adjacent the table the foot will selectively mate with the leg retaining slot and retain the legs in a collapsed position; and    c. a cutting board adapted for selective attachment to the table.    
     
     
         3 . The invention as described in  claim 2  wherein the rails and stiles are metal.  
     
     
         4 . The invention as described in  claim 2  wherein the rails and stiles are “U” shaped.  
     
     
         5 . The invention as described in  claim 2  further comprising a plurality of fasteners extending upwardly from and attached to the frame.  
     
     
         6 . The invention as described in  claim 5  further comprising a waste bag attached to the fasteners and extends through the frame.  
     
     
         7 . The invention as described in  claim 2  further comprising a waste bag extending through and retained on the frame.  
     
     
         8 . The invention as described in  claim 2  further comprising at least one supply tray having a tongue sized to mate with a tray slot defined in the frame and the supply tray further having a retaining lip for communication with the cross tray to retain the supply tray.  
     
     
         9 . The invention as described in  claim 2  wherein the leg retaining slots are curve shaped.  
     
     
         10 . The invention as described in  claim 2  wherein the rotatable attachment of the legs to the frame further comprises a pivot formed in the frame mated with a pivot point formed terminally on the leg uprights.  
     
     
         11 . The invention as described in  claim 10  wherein the pivot point of each leg upright comprises a flattened section of the leg upright and an aperture formed therein.  
     
     
         12 . The invention as described in  claim 10  wherein the pivot point of each leg upright comprises a loop formed in the end of the leg upright.  
     
     
         13 . The invention as described in  claim 5  wherein the cutting board is selectively attached by urging the cutting board to abut the plurality of fasteners.  
     
     
         14 . The invention as described in  claim 13  wherein a movable clip is selectively adjustable to retain the cutting board.  
     
     
         15 . The invention as described in  claim 14  wherein the clip is selectively adjusted via a male threaded member extending inwardly from the clip through the frame in communication with a matable female threaded member.  
     
     
         16 . The invention as described in  claim 2  wherein the cutting board is generally rectangular in shape.  
     
     
         17 . The invention as described in  claim 5  wherein two adjacent corners of the cutting board are relieved to mate with the respective fasteners.  
     
     
         18 . The invention as described in  claim 17  wherein the two adjacent relieved corners of the cutting board are further chamfered to guide the cutting board between the plurality of fasteners.  
     
     
         19 . The invention as described in  claim 2  wherein the cutting board further comprises a mortise formed adjacent and inwardly extending from the edge of the cutting board opposite relieved corners.
