  • Patent number: 9427849
    Abstract: The device disclosed comprises two major components: a fold-out stand and an adjustable repair and build-up stand. The adjustable repair and build-up stand is horizontally attached to the undersurfaces of the horizontal members of the fold-out stand, thereby minimizing workspace required in a typical auto body repair shop or other repair facility. A technician may clamp a workpiece to adjustable telescoping arms or a pair of swing arms, all integral to the repair and build-up stand, therefore enabling the stabilization and positioning required for repair of a damaged part or installation of necessary components to a part. Other shop work may be performed atop the fold-out stand since the repair and build-up stand is permanently located underneath the fold-out stand.
