Abstract: A flat packaged support and table which can be assembled using through screw fasteners and interlocking structures to create a table and/or a support from flat stock such as plywood. The table when disassembled packs into a container which is less than 3 inches thick.
Abstract: One feature provides an A-frame stand which allows the fabrication of a barricade while using less stands. The A-frame generally provides a first and second leg to provide stable support for the A-frame, as well as at least one interconnector to increase the rigidity. The interconnectors may be comprised of first and second contact points to receive barricade beams, and there may be a gap in between the opposing legs wide enough so that a barricade beam can be placed therein while allowing some pivotal movement to create the barricade.
Abstract: An apparatus for stabilizing a device includes a rail, a first carriage, a second carriage, a first leg housing, and a first linking member. The rail is configured for attachment to the device and includes a length extending from a distal end and a proximal end. The first carriage is configured to slidably receive the rail. The second carriage is configured to slidably receive the rail. The first leg housing includes a first upper end pivotally coupled with a first portion of the first carriage and a first mount disposed distal to the first upper end. The first linking member includes a first distal end pivotally coupled with the first mount and a first proximal end pivotally coupled with a first portion of the second carriage.
Abstract: A support apparatus having a first support element with at least one slot defined therein and a second support element with at least one slot defined therein; and one or more connective structures, wherein the first and second support elements are adapted to be secured together by the one or more connective structures by the disposition of the one or more connective structures within the respective slots of the first and second support elements.
Abstract: A table for portable miter saws or the like comprising a hinged flat rectangular surface portions from which depends a centrally located, longitudinal keel. A sawhorse-like collapsible stand of two opposed leg assemblies forms a keel gap or slot upon erection within which the longitudinal keel snugly fits, thereby supporting the table surface. The leg assemblies have upper and middle cross members between end legs and the leg assemblies are attached at the end legs at each end thereof by upward folding hinge brackets. The upper cross members are trapezoidal in cross section, forming the vertical inner walls of the keel gap or slot when erected. The leg assemblies fold together and the table folds at its hinges for transport and storage. Levelers are provided for supporting a workpiece above the table top surface.
Abstract: A bracket is provided for a sawhorse or other multiple piece stand, which stand includes a plurality of elongate legs and an elongate beam supported substantially horizontally by the legs. The bracket includes a generally U-shaped channel for receiving the beam. The channel includes a base and pair of side walls attached unitarily to and extending upwardly from the base. There are a pair of leg accommodating receptacles fixedly joined to the channel and including a first receptacle that has a first recess for fixedly interengaging the base and a first one of the side walls of the channel and a second receptacle that has a second recess for fixedly interengaging the base and a second one of the side walls of the channel. The receptacles are juxtaposed along and extend divergently from the channel. Each receptacle is capable of receiving a respective leg, which legs are engaged with a substantially horizontal surface to support the beam above the substantially horizontal surface.
Abstract: A sawhorse includes an upper cross member having two ends. A pair of legs is hingedly connected to each end of the upper cross member. Each leg has an upper portion and a lower portion slidingly received by the upper portion. Each leg is therefore independently adjustable in length. There is a latch mechanism on each leg for releasibly latching the upper and lower portion of each leg together. A plurality of spaced-apart steps extend between the legs on each side of the sawhorse. The steps are parallel to the upper cross member. At least one of the steps is removable. Preferably at least one of the steps is removably connected to the lower portions of the legs.
