Abstract: Disclosed herein is a trestle-type, dual-frame sawhorse including first and second generally rectangular, identical frame members, hinged together along their horizontal top beams, each having depending legs with horizontal leg braces parallel to the top beams. Each leg has a longitudinal slot with a transverse pin which passes through a bound space defined within a rigid, rectangular-framed strut. Each strut has a pair of longer side members and a pair of shorter side members, and is bound by the pins into the slots of both legs of a leg pair. The strut can be moved to a vertical position whereby the legs of the sawhorse are held together, or the strut can be allowed to drop into a horizontal position where it keeps the legs from splaying farther when the sawhorse is under load. Detent notches in the inner surfaces of the strut permit the sawhorse to resist being collapsed back into its folded orientation.
