DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] Reference is made herein to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to depict like or similar elements of the wood router support device. For the purposes of presenting a brief and clear description of the present invention, a preferred embodiment will be discussed as used for the wood router support device. The figures are intended for representative purposes only and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.

[0021] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a top down view of an embodiment of the wood router support device. The router support device is comprised of a base 101. In one embodiment the base 101 is made from wood. In another embodiment the base 101 is made from plastic. In other embodiments other suitable materials are used. The base has a first end 101A and a second end 1011

[0022] The base 101 has a channel 102 therein. The channel 102 starts at the second end 1018 and moves toward the first end 101A. The first end 101A of the base 101 is a closed end. This creates an elongated horseshoe shape. The second end 101B of the base 101 has a cross bar 103 placed a crossed the opening. This will add support and prevent the device from being accidentally broken by being pulled apart.

[0023] There is at least one measurement device 104, 105 located on at least one side of the channel 102. In one embodiment the measurement device 104 has standard measurement indicia. In the same embodiment measurement device 105 has metric measurement indicia. In another embodiment both measurement devices 104, 105 have the same measurement indicia located thereon.

[0024] There is a router connection area 106 located at the first end 101A of the base 101. The router connection area 106 includes a plurality of apertures 107. The apertures 107 are configured to align with a router's connection holes. This will allow the router to be connected easily to the base 101. There is further a router bit opening 108. In one embodiment the router bit opening 108 is located at the end of the channel 102.

[0025] Referring now to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, there are shown perspective views of embodiments of the wood router support device having a single tongue and groove and the device having two tongues and two grooves. The wood router support device includes a measurement insert 203. The measurement insert 203 is configured to be placed within the channel 102 of the base 101. The measurement insert 203 includes a securement hole 206 located at one end. The securement hole 206 is configured to accept a securement device therethrough. In one embodiment the securement device is a screw. This will allow the wood router support device to be connected to a piece of material to be cut. The measurement insert 203 further includes at least one measurement marking 207. The measurement marking 207 is configured to allow a user to determine a measurement using the at least one measurement device 104, 105.

[0026] The wood router support device further includes a second cross support 201. The second cross support 201 is located between the first end 101A and the second end 101B of the base 101. The second cross support 201 has a securement device 202 located therethrough. The securement device 202 is configured to secure the measurement insert 203 at a desired length. In one embodiment the securement device 202 is a thumb screw and a bolt. In another embodiment a turn knob attached to a screw and a nut are used. The securement device 202 will apply pressure to the measurement insert 203 and prevent it from moving.

[0027] In some embodiments the measurement insert 203 is configured to be slidably attached to the base 101. In one embodiment this is done using a tongue and groove configuration. In one embodiment there is a single tongue 204A located on an interior side of the channel 102. In this embodiment there is a corresponding groove 205A located on an outer edge of the measurement insert 203. In another embodiment there is a tongue 204A, 204B located on each interior side of the channel. In this embodiment there is a corresponding groove 205A, 205B located on both outer edges of the measurement insert 203.

[0028] Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown a perspective view of an embodiment of the wood router support device having a router attached thereto. In use the wood router support device has a router 401 attached to the device. The user moves the measurement insert to the desired distance using the measurement devices 104, 105. Then the securement device 202 is tightened to prevent the measurement insert 203 from moving. The device is then secured to the material to be cut. From there the user may use the device to cut a circle of the desired size.

[0029] It is therefore submitted that the instant invention has been shown and described in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

[0030] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
