  • Patent number: 4221368
    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting large, bulky work objects, particularly articles of furniture undergoing upholstery work, such that they may be tilted or rotated for easy access to any part of the work object by a stationary operator. The apparatus consists of a base which is firmly connected to the floor or work surface, a central support column rising out of the base, and a table which is firmly supported by the support column while being free to tilt approximately 45.degree. from horizontal and to rotate 360.degree. about its tilted position. The table member is expandable such that it may fit various sizes of work objects, and firmly hold the work object in place by outward pressure of the table against the inside surface of the work object. The operator may firmly maintain the table and work object in any desired tilt or rotation position by manual movement of the object to that position and foot-controlled brake mechanisms to hold the object in such position.
