Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A workbed comprises a plurality of parallel support members with each support member having a first edge with a contact surface of a specific configuration. A second, opposed edge with a second contact surface on the support member is also provided with the same specific configuration. As a result, instead of replacing the support member each time the first edge's support surface is worn or degraded, it can be flipped, or reversed so that the second, edge's support surface of the support member is used to form the workbed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A workbed support member comprising: a first plurality of triangular portions along a first edge of the support member; and a second plurality of triangular portions along a second opposite edge of the support member. 2 . The workbed support member of claim 1 wherein the first and second pluralities of triangular portions include a flattened tip. 3 . The workbed support member of claim 1 wherein the first and second pluralities of triangular portions are in phase. 4 . The workbed support member of claim 1 wherein the first and second pluralities of triangular portions are out of phase. 5 . A workbed support member comprising: a first plurality of raised portions along a first edge of the support member a second plurality of raised portions along a second opposite edge of the support member. 6 . The workbed support member of claim 5 wherein the first and second pluralities of raised portions are semicircular. 7 . The workbed support member of claim 5 wherein the first and second pluralities of raised portions are triangular. 8 . The workbed support member of claim 5 wherein the first and second pluralities of raised portions are rectangular. 9 . The workbed support member of claim 5 wherein the first and second raised portions include a flattened tip. 10 . The workbed support member of claim 5 wherein the first and second pluralities of raised portions are in phase. 11 . The workbed support member of claim 5 wherein the first and second pluralities of raised portions are out of phase. 12 . A workbed support member substantially as shown and described.
