Abstract
A collapsible sawhorse includes an upper body portion having an open-bottom, double-wall box configuration provided with four legs detachably securable in rectangular corner sockets by respective retaining pins secured against loss by flexible straps. A pair of spaced top panels on the upper body portion form a work surface of the sawhorse provided with a longitudinally extending gap dimensioned to receive a conventional screw operated wood working clamp. A pair of transversely spaced longitudinally extending storage compartments formed between inner and outer sidewall members of the upper body portion, on opposite sides of the longitudinal gap, each store a pair of the detached legs in stacked relation in a collapsed orientation of the sawhorse. Each storage compartment includes a pair of hinged doors having adjacent free ends meeting at an intermediate portion along the length of the storage compartment in a closed condition. A pivotal latch member spans the adjacent free ends of each pair of doors to maintain the doors in a closed condition. A plurality of the sawhorses may be stacked in the collapsed orientation in a small amount of space.
