Abstract
An hydraulic press includes a head member removably connected at each opposite end to a leg and formed of a unitary sheet of steel rolled into a generally U-shaped transverse cross-section. The head member includes a reinforcing tube at its mid portion. The press includes a bed supported by the legs and disposed beneath the head member. The bed is reinforced at its mid portion by a pair of diagonally disposed spacer plates in the interior of the bed and at the exterior of the bed by a breast plate permanently attached to the front panel and a back plate permanently attached to the rear panel of the bed. At least one additional hole is provided and bored transversely through each end of the bed and positioned so as to correspond to and align with the holes in each leg that receive the pins that support the bed. The pressing force can be provided by an hydraulic jack that can be attached to the head member or to a carriage that is slidably disposed between the head member and the bed.
