Abstract

A platform device for attaching to a working table includes a pair of rails slidably supported on a base, and a plate slidably supported on the rails. The base includes two grooves for slidably receiving the rails. One or more stops are secured on the base, and two end boards secured to the ends of the rails for selectively engaging with the stops and for limiting the movement of the rail relative to the base. One or more blocks are secured to the plate for selectively engaging with either of the end boards and for limiting the movement of the plate relative to the rail.

Claims

1. A platform assembly for attaching to an object, said platform assembly comprising:

a base including at least one beam disposed thereon and at least one groove formed in said at least one beam,

a stop disposed on said base,

at least one rail slidably received in said at least one groove of said base, and including two ends,

two end boards secured to said ends of said at least one rail respectively, to selectively engage with said stop when said at least one rail is slid relative to said base, and a first end board of said two end boards being engageable with said stop to limit a rightward movement of said at least one rail relative to said base, and a second end board of said two end boards being engageable with said stop to limit a leftward movement of said at least one rail relative to said base,

a plate slidably supported on said at least one rail, and

at least one block secured to said plate, to selectively engage with either of said end boards, and to move said at least one rail either rightward or leftward relative to said base.

2. The platform assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plate includes two ends, and two panels secured to said ends of said plate respectively, said panels each includes an opening formed therein to slidably receive said at least one rail, and to guide said plate to slide along said at least one rail.

3. The platform assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least one block includes a duct formed therein to slidably receive said at least one rail.
