The interconnect structure is a single-piece structure.

Abstract: The folding sawhorse brackets are each formed of a single sheet of flat stock, formed to affix a rail therein and pivotally attach two legs thereto. All embodiments accept stock dimensions of lumber or other suitable materials for the rail and legs. A first configuration has two brackets, with one having its two leg pivots closer to the rail than the other. The closer legs fold immediately adjacent to the rail with the opposite legs folding outboard of the closer legs, with all legs and the rail lying in a compact parallel relationship when folded. A second configuration has two identical brackets, each bracket having one closer and one more distant pivot point from the rail. When two such brackets are assembled at opposite rail ends, they are in mirror image to one another with one closer and one more distant leg folding on each side of the rail.

Abstract: Embodiments of sawhorse systems are shown and described, which may include one or more sawhorse-stand units. A sawhorse stand unit may comprise one or more top bracket, and one or more bottom bracket, which are coupled to vertical supports. Additionally, a horizontal member may extend between top brackets of the sawhorse-stand units. The horizontal and vertical supports may correspond, in size and shape, to dimensional lumber.

Abstract: A scaffolding apparatus is contemplated that in one aspect provides extendable leg members for allowing the scaffolding apparatus to be erected on a non-level surface. In another aspect, the scaffolding apparatus provides a collapsible support assembly including collapsible arms which are configured to extend from the scaffolding apparatus to provide added stability to a platform, mud board or similar structure placed horizontally across the platform support. The scaffolding apparatus has the benefits of improved structural stability for either the scaffolding apparatus itself or objects that may be placed on the scaffolding apparatus.

Abstract: A saw horse comprises a pair of frames each assembled from a plurality of wooden struts joined by metal formings of sheet stock. Fabric hinges join the frames at their upper ends. The metal formings are positioned and closed around the beams with piercings engaging the fabric hinges. Spreader struts are also hinged by a fabric strap that permits the spreader struts to lay in horizontal positions when the frames are pulled into an A-shape, and to be oriented in side-by-side vertical positions when the frames are folded together.

Abstract: A table for portable miter saws or the like comprising a hinged flat rectangular surface portions from which depends a centrally located, longitudinal keel. A sawhorse-like collapsible stand of two opposed leg assemblies forms a keel gap or slot upon erection within which the longitudinal keel snugly fits, thereby supporting the table surface. The leg assemblies have upper and middle cross members between end legs and the leg assemblies are attached at the end legs at each end thereof by upward folding hinge brackets. The upper cross members are trapezoidal in cross section, forming the vertical inner walls of the keel gap or slot when erected. The leg assemblies fold together and the table folds at its hinges for transport and storage. Levelers are provided for supporting a workpiece above the table top surface.

Abstract: An apparatus used in the assembly and structure of tables, benches, sawhorses, and scaffolds. In particular, the invention discloses a U-beam top joint with lumber end gripper used with a U-beam splay bar, which are used in pairs or greater multiples to hold pieces of lumber in the required position to form a structure. The combination can be readily transported to a recreation or construction site and used to assemble a picnic table, bench, sawhorse with lumber fence, bench, scaffold or like structure with available lumber, cut to form the desired height for the structure. The U-beam top joint with lumber end gripper and the U-beam splay bar interact with the lumber legs and cross-beam such that an increase in load on the cross-beam causes a proportional increase in the rigidity and stability of the structure. The U-beam top joint and the U-beam splay bar each have side lumber brackets by which multiple top joints and splay bars can be linked to each other.
