  • Patent number: 5007502
    Abstract: A self-leveling foldable saw horse including a trestle formed as a downwardly opening box, two pairs of legs, each of which has three working surfaces for leveling the pairs of legs, stably supporting the weight on the trestle and enabling rotation of the legs from a closed position to an opened position and two rods for supporting the legs. The first operating surface on each leg of a pair of legs is in contact with the first operating surface of the other leg of its pair and the second surfaces of each leg of pair are in contact with the underside of the top surface of the trestle when the saw horse is in the open position. Exerting pressure on the top surface of the trestle causes sliding adjustment of the first operating surfaces of each pair to level the trestle and stably support the saw horse on uneven surfaces. Two saw horses can be attached together in a compact, efficient manner with handles to transport the pair of saw horses for use on uneven ground surfaces.
