Abstract: A portable work station is described which is very sturdy and stable. The station has three supporting legs so that it may be used safely on uneven or sloping surfaces. The station also includes an electrical power receptacle which increases the utility of the work station.

Abstract: A work support unit convertible between work horse and buck horse modes, the unit comprising a set of three generally horizontal cross bars, four depending legs and bracket means coupling the cross bars and legs and maintaining the same in a fixed spatial relationship. In the work horse mode, a replaceable work board is secured to cross bars to provide a working surface and in the buck horse mode the board is removed. In a knockdown condition for transport and/or storage the legs are removed from the brackets and are conveniently strapped to the cross bars.

Abstract: A wooden sawhorse device that can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled without tools or fasteners. Tapered legs are each provided with slotted upper and lower edges and a contoured opening near the center of the leg. A pair of slotted sawhorse rails interfit with the slotted upper edges of the legs to rigidly connect the legs and provide a space for a 2'.times.6' board on top of the sawhorse. A slotted tool tray fits through the openings in the legs and interfits with the contoured edges of the openings to provide a rigid brace and a tool receiving surface. The sawhorses can be set up in pairs with scaffold rails extending between them to provide support for a flat work table. By stacking the sawhorses upon one another and installing the scaffold rails between the uppermost sawhorse rails, multiple level scaffolding can be formed. The sawhorse rails can be replaced by miter box rails which are specially constructed to receive and support a power miter box.

Abstract: A sawhorse kit is disclosed having a top piece, leg members, brace members and fastener members. Channels, adapted to receive and seat a top portion of the leg members are formed in the top piece a sufficient distance from its ends to provide a work surface on the top piece longitudinally outward from the channels. When received and seated in the channels, the leg members extend downwardly and outwardly from a plane including the longitudinal axis of the top piece, and downwardly and outwardy from a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the top piece and bisecting the top piece. Passages, adapted to receive and securely retain the fastener members, are provided in the top piece, leg members and brace members to facilitate assembly of the sawhorse kit.

Abstract: A one piece frame or channel for a work support which is usable during building or construction principally as a support at ground level or as a scaffold at elevated levels regardless of whether the surface is even, irregular or constitutes different heights. The channel is used in pairs to form the work support. A plurality of legs are conveniently made from two-by-fours which are clamped to the channel at a suitable height in conformance with the ground so as to set the plank horizontally which plank extends across the pair of laterally spaced channels. Top brackets are interlocked in the top portion of the channels to engage and to hold the plank in assembled position.A clamp is carried on leg portions of the channel on an axle journaled in punched support lugs. A spring biases the clamp to engage the legs. Teeth are formed on the clamp to secure the legs in adjusted position.

Abstract: A one piece frame for carrying a platform made from a unitary channel adapted to releasably receive a plurality of support legs. Adjustable top brackets mountable in the channel for supporting the platform connect to the frame to affix thereto.Bracing members on the frame prevent lateral shifting of the support legs. The channel at the leg is notched or recessed to permit a clamp to engage standard and substandard legs commonly made from two (2)-foot-by-four (4)-foot wood. Also, the clamps are provided with a plurality of teeth angularly disposed to engage the adjacent leg substantially perpendicular.

Abstract: A bracket for carrying a plank by means of support legs. The bracket has a cross piece of predetermined length to carry the plank. Open faced channel members are connected at each end of the cross piece. These members extend downwardly and outwardly. The open faces of the channel members open in opposite directions and in the direction of the length of the cross piece. The channel members have internally rounded corners. A bracket sleeve is pivotally connected to each of the channel members for receiving and retaining support legs. The sleeve may be formed with, for example, teeth on one edge to engage the retained leg.

Abstract: A sawhorse which may be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled including a wooden stringer, a metal stringer connectable to the wooden stringer, two A-frames connectable to the metal stringer, each A-frame including a pair of outwardly sloping legs and a transverse strut rigidly fixed between the legs, a brace connectable to each of the A-frames and to the metal stringer, each of the braces being connectable to a strut on the A-frame and to the metal stringer.

Abstract: A sawhorse having a crossbar and support legs at each end of the crossbar is provided with a workpiece support member supported on the sawhorse at a position laterally offset from the crossbar and at least as high as the crossbar. A second workpiece support member may be arranged on the opposite side of the crossbar and third and fourth workpiece support members may be provided in longitudinally spaced relation from the first and second workpiece support members respectively. The workpiece support members may have flat top surfaces disposed in a common plane situated higher than the crossbar so that a workpiece supported thereon may be cut along a line directed between the workpiece support members and either parallel to or perpendicular to the sawhorse crossbar with both cut portions of the workpiece supported on the workpiece support members.

Abstract: A work-supporting device such as a sawhorse that is light and strong and which can be easily assembled and knocked down into a compact form without requiring any screws, bolts, clamps or similar fastening devices. The sawhorse has a cross beam with vertical, rectangular, hollow recesses extending from its bottom side into which at least two pairs of legs may be inserted. The legs are shaped so as to provide a wedging fit within the recesses and an interlock is also provided between the legs and the cross beam so that the legs remain securely in place, although they can be readily inserted and removed. The sawhorse preferably is made from a structural foam thermoplastic material having sufficient strength that the sawhorse is capable of supporting heavy loads. The material will not rot, splinter, warp or rust.

Abstract: A pair of sawhorse legs for forming a bench, wherein each sawhorse leg includes a frusto-pyramidal shaped bracket having a base, a pair of upwardly extending end walls, an upwardly extending front wall, and an open top, wherein the base has a plurality of holes therethrough. The upper ends of a pair of legs are affixed to the inner surfaces of the end walls, wherein each leg extends downwardly through the base to engage the ground. A clamping mechanism secures the end of a board element to the upper edges of the front and rear walls of the bracket of each sawhorse leg.

Abstract: This manufacture is a sawhorse, so designed that one will perform tasks that are difficult, if not impossible, with two traditional sawhorses.Parallel but separated backs support wide materials for sawing, cutting, or drilling. Narrow materials are supported by the legs and contained between the backs. Kerfs in the backs are aligned to permit forty-five and ninety degree cuts when the backs are used as a miter box. The legs are constructed to hold tools used in the construction process. The sawhorse assembles and disassembles without tools, and it stores and transports flat.

Abstract: A sawhorse which is easily assembled and is portable, light and compact when knocked-down. The sawhorse has a horizontal cross beam with several vertical, rectangular, hollow recesses extending from its bottom side. At least two pairs of legs are attached to the cross beam by inserting the ends of a pair of legs into a single vertical recess. Each leg has a wedge-shaped upper end allowing the pair of legs to be wedged into engagement with the recess. The sawhorse is made from a structural foam thermoplastic material, permitting the sawhorse to be light yet capable of supporting heavy loads. In addition the plastic will not rot, splinter, warp, or rust. A vertical brace may also be added between a pair of legs to provide additional stability to the structure.
