Abstract: A table top attachment for a sawhorse includes a table top member and a brace member. The table top member has a planar top surface and a lower surface that includes a series of tab members that snugly mate with the top beam of a sawhorse in an attached position to prevent the table top member from moving laterally with respect to the top beam and allowing the top beam to support the table top member. The brace member is connected at one end to the table top member along one edge of the table top and at an opposite end to one of the sawhorse side supports. When connected to the sawhorse side support the brace cooperates with the sawhorse top beam to support the table top in the attached position.
Abstract: A folding sawhorse of the type comprising two trestle like frames that are hingedly connected at their tops. Wherein the improvement makes use of a pivoting shelf member for the purpose of controlling the open and close movements of these frames. 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 pins that are secured to one end of the pivoting shelf and are also engaged in longitudinal slots 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 downward 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.
