Abstract

A work bench of a process machine has a first work table and a second work table which is joined with the first work table such that the second work table is capable of moving toward or away from the first work table; a material stopping member of a material stopping device capable of moving between the first and the second work tables, an indicating devise comprising a ruler and an indicating portion. The ruler is fixed on the first work table. The indicating portion changes its position along with the position of the material stopping member to point at the scale value of the ruler.

Claims

1. A process machine work bench comprising:

a first work table provided with a first reference portion, at least one joining portion, and at least one first guide portion;

a second work table provided with at least one connection portion and at least one second guide portion, said connection portion being joined with said joining portion of said first work table and capable of sliding back and forth along a predetermined direction provided by said joining portion of said first work table, thereby enabling said second work table to move toward or away from said first work table, said second guide portion being coaxial with said first guide portion;

a material stopping device having a material stopping member, said material stopping member having a second reference portion and at least one slide portion capable of sliding along said first guide portion or said second guide portion, thereby enabling said material stopping member and the second reference portion to move relative to the first reference portion between said fist work table and said second work table;

an indicating device comprising a ruler and an indicating portion, said ruler being disposed on said first work table and having a first direction extension scale, said indicating portion capable of changing position thereof along with said material stopping member on said first direction extension scale to indicate a distance between the first reference portion and the second reference portion;

wherein said first work table has two joining portions and two first guide portions;

wherein said second work table has two connection portions and two second guide portions;

wherein said material stopping member of said material stopping device has two slide portions;

wherein said first work table is formed of a first plate and two long side frames connected with two sides of said first plate, with each of said side frames having a horizontal extension plate which is provided in the top and the underside with a guide slot and a guide rail for forming said first guide portion and said joining portion;

said second work table being of an inverted U-shaped construction and having a second plate and two joining members connected with two sides of said second plate, with each of said joining members having a slide slot and a guide slot for forming said connection portion and said second guide portion, said slot being fitted with said guide rail of said first work table;

said material stopping member being a long bar body having an inverted U-shaped cross section and a vertical side which forms said second reference portion, said material stopping member provided at two ends of the underside with a slide rail capable of joining with said guide slot of said first work table or said second work table, said slide rail forming said slide portion of said material stopping member;

wherein said frames of said first work table are provided with a first through hole;

wherein said joining members of said second work table are provided with a second through hole coaxial with said first through hole;

an extension frame having two guide rods received in through holes, said extension frame having a placing plate connecting said two guide rods, said placing plate being located at the opposite side of said second plate.

2. The work bench as defined in claim 1, wherein said ruler is fixed on top of extension plate of one of said frames of said first work table, said first direction extension scale of said ruler comprising a first initial point, a first terminal point, a second initial point and a second terminal point, said first terminal point and said second initial point being equal in scale value to each other, said indicating portion being a window having a base line capable of pointing correspondingly any scale grade between said first initial point and said first terminal point;

wherein said indicating device further comprises a first pointer fixed on one of the joining members to move along with said second work table between said second initial point and said second terminal point.

3. The work bench as defined in claim 1, wherein said second plate and said placing plate are provided in the underside with an insertion portion for receiving one end of a support rod which has other end resting on the ground surface.

4. The work bench as defined in claim 1, wherein said second work table is capable of joining with other side of said first work table and said extension frame changing the joining position thereof oppositely.

5. The work bench as defined in claim 4, wherein said ruler is further provided with a second direction extension scale comprising a third initial point, a third terminal point, a fourth initial point, and a fourth terminal point, said third terminal point and said fourth initial point being equal in scale value to each other, said material stopping member having another vertical side forming a third reference portion movable with said material stopping member relative to said first reference portion, said base line of said indicating portion capable of pointing correspondingly any scale grade between said third initial point and said third terminal point, said indicating device further provided on other joining member with a second pointer capable of moving along with said second work table between said fourth initial point and said fourth terminal point.
