  • Patent number: 5482303
    Abstract: A table for mounting a saw or other woodworking tool which can be easily rolled about and releveled. Retractable arms having handles extending rearward of the table and a pair of wheels extending forward of the table pivotally attach to the table so that when the handles are raised, the wheels pivot downward, causing the table to be lifted off its front legs. The table is provided rearwardly with a horizontal stop member which is engaged by the arms as the handles are further lifted, thereby also lifting the table off its rear legs so that the table can be easily moved about on the wheels. Each leg is provided with a height adjusting rod which extends upward from the lower end of the leg. The table legs rest upon leg supports provided on lower ends of the height adjusting rods. The height of the legs may be independently adjusted by turning the height adjusting rod by grasping and turning a handle provided on an opposite upper end of each height adjusting rod.

  • Patent number: 5467842
    Abstract: There is disclosed an improved collapsible saw horse comprising a horizontal member over the center of which is affixed a tubular spacer. Left and right rotatable sleeves are disposed over the horizontal member on each side of the tubular spacer to obtain an assembled crossbar. Four legs, each connected to a collar complementary to the horizontal member, serve to support the horizontal member. The legs are further defined as a left outer leg, left inner leg, right inner leg, and right outer leg. The collars are of a shape similar to the rotatable sleeves and the tubular spacer such that when disposed over the horizontal member a smooth profile is obtained. Four angled braces are arranged as follows: (1) a first brace from the left outer leg to the left rotatable sleeve; (2) a second brace from the left inner leg to the tubular spacer; (3) a third brace from the right inner leg to the tubular spacer; and (4) a fourth brace from the right outer leg to the right rotatable sleeve.
