  • Patent number: 5102078
    Abstract: A bracket, sold in kits of two or four, is used with a cross-member and four legs for constructing a sawhorse. The bracket includes an upper end having a slot for receiving the cross-member and abutment flanges against which the legs may be placed for holding the legs in an angled position relative to the cross-member. The legs are pivotally secured to the bracket for swinging between a collapsed non-assembled position and the angled assembled position. Inclined raised ridges on the bracket surround slots which receive fasteners that extend into the legs. The ridges and the heads of the fasteners cooperate to lock the legs to the brackets by wedging the fastener heads against the ridges as the legs are swung into their assembled position.
