Patent number: 8657072Abstract: The design is for a sawhorse with a collapsible support platform to support material that is being cut-off or worked on. The support platform keeps the material that is being cut from falling and/or splintering at the end of the cut and reduces or eliminates the need for an addition person to support the portion of the material being cut-off or for the person doing the cutting to attempt to hold the material being cut-off with one hand while cutting with the other and creating an unsafe condition. The sawhorse with support platform does not necessarily eliminate the need for a second sawhorse to support the opposite end of the material being cut or worked on. The sawhorse can be provided with the platform on both sides to provide additional cutting or material support surface which may then eliminate the need for a second sawhorse. Additionally the cutting support platform can be provided as a separate accessory that can be mounted to various manufactures' available sawhorses.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Inventor: Kurtis Banks Caple

Patent number: 8439164Abstract: A knock-down sawhorse has a support beam supported above a surface by at least two pairs of legs, each pair of legs supporting opposing ends of the beam. The beam has at least four connectors, at least a first pair of connectors arranged on opposing lateral side walls at one end and at least a second pair of connectors arranged on opposing lateral side walls at the other opposing end. Each connector has a tab downwardly depending from a top wall of the beam for engaging an axially-extending recess in an upper end of each leg. Each pair of legs is interconnected by an adjuster for adjusting a lateral spacing therebetween. Manipulation of the lateral spacing between each pair of legs allows a working height of the sawhorse to be manipulated, allowing the sawhorse to be leveled.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2012Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Inventor: Peter Esposito

Patent number: 7311178Abstract: A work piece support assembly can be assembled in either an operating configuration or in a flattened coplanar configuration for storage. The support assembly includes a pair of leg assemblies, one each for the proximal and distal end portions of an elongated rail support member. Each end of the rail support member has a portion having two leg socket assemblies. Each socket assembly has a first and second socket with respective first and second centerlines that may be non parallel and intersect at a predetermined point. Each leg assembly has a stem assembly comprised of a first and second stem portion, which are both pivotally coupled to the rail support member through the first and second sockets of each socket assembly. In its operational configuration, the first and second leg of each leg assembly is transverse to the rail support member. In the flattened storage configuration, the leg assemblies counter rotate resulting in each leg assembly being coplanar to the rail support member.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2001Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Inventor: James P. Blackwell

Patent number: 6896102Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1998Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Inventor: James W.
