Abstract: A folding sawhorse of the type comprising two trestle like frames that are hingedly connected at their tops. The shelf is hingedly attached to a lower strut of one frame and slidably attached to the legs of the opposite frame. The slidable attachment is by means of pairs of pins that are secured to one end of the pivoting shelf and are also yoked to longitudinal ridges that are in the legs of the opposite frame. To open the sawhorse from its closed, storage position, the frames are spread apart slightly, thereby allowing gravity to pull the shelf downwardly and concurrently causing the frames to spread outwardly to their open, working position. The sawhorse will stay in this locked open position without any additional latching mechanisms until the close procedure is initiated.

Abstract: A stowable knockdown sawhorse can be assembled in two configurations: an operating configuration and a storage configuration. The sawhorse includes a pair of inverted-V-shaped leg members and a saddle having four mounting assemblies--two at each end, one per side. Each leg member has a notched apex that envelops one end of the saddle and is in turn enveloped within an inclined channel formed within each mounting assembly, thereby forming the sawhorse into its operating configuration. Each mounting assembly further defines an exterior bearing surface, the bearing surfaces on like sides of the saddle facing and opposing each other and lying on planes that intersect beyond the saddle working surface to form an angle equal to the apex angle of the leg members. The bearing surfaces are thereby oriented to accept and retain therebetween the leg assemblies when disengaged from the ends of the saddle and inverted between the bearing surfaces to form the sawhorse into its storage configuration.

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.
