The latch mechanism includes a latch element movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch mechanism is configured to inhibit movement of each of the legs relative to the table when the latch element is in the latched position and the saw stand is in the third configuration. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A saw stand comprising: a table having a saw support surface; a plurality of legs pivotally coupled to the table, the legs movable relative to the table to define a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration of the saw stand, wherein the plurality of legs includes a first leg and a second leg, each pivotable about a first axis, and wherein the plurality of legs further includes a third leg and a fourth leg, each pivotable about a second axis parallel to the first axis; and a latch mechanism including a latch element movable between a latched position and an unlatched position, wherein the latch mechanism is configured to inhibit movement of each of the legs relative to the table when the latch element is in the latched position and the saw stand is in the third configuration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The saw stand of claim 1, wherein the saw support surface is positioned at a first height when the saw stand is in the first configuration, and wherein the saw support surface is positioned at a second height less than the first height when the saw stand is in the second configuration. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The saw stand of claim 2, wherein each of the legs extends parallel to the saw support surface when the saw stand is in the third configuration. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The saw stand of claim 3, wherein the saw stand is configured as a hand truck in the third configuration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The saw stand of claim 1, wherein the latch mechanism includes a first pin extending from the first leg and a second pin extending from the third leg, and wherein the latch element includes a first hook engageable with the first pin and a second hook engageable with the second pin. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The saw stand of claim 1, wherein the first and second legs extend parallel to the third and fourth legs when the saw stand is in the first configuration. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The saw stand of claim 6, wherein the first and second legs cross the third and fourth legs when the saw stand is in the second configuration. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The saw stand of claim 1, further comprising a base frame coupled to the third and fourth legs; a platform supported on the base frame; and a plurality of wheels coupled to the base frame or the third and fourth legs. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The saw stand of claim 1, further comprising a post extending from each of the third leg and the fourth leg, wherein clips on each of the first and second legs are engageable with the posts when the saw stand is in the second configuration to retain the saw stand in the second configuration. ### Claim 10 A saw stand comprising: a table having a saw support surface; a plurality of legs pivotally coupled to the table, the legs pivotable relative to the table to define a first configuration in which the legs extend perpendicular to the saw support surface, a second configuration in which the legs extend at oblique angles relative to the saw support surface, and a third configuration in which the legs extend parallel to the saw support surface; and a latch mechanism including a latch element movable between a latched position and an unlatched position, wherein the latch mechanism is configured to inhibit movement of each of the legs relative to the table when the latch element is in the latched position and the saw stand is in the third configuration. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The saw stand of claim 10, wherein movement of the latch element from the latched position to the unlatched position releases each of the legs for pivotal movement toward the first configuration or the second configuration. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The saw stand of claim 10, wherein the saw support surface is positioned at a first height when the saw stand is in the first configuration, and wherein the saw support surface is positioned at a second height less than the first height when the saw stand is in the second configuration. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The saw stand of claim 10, wherein the saw stand is configured as a hand truck when the saw stand is in the third configuration. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The saw stand of claim 10, wherein the plurality of legs includes a first leg and a second leg, each pivotable about a first axis, and wherein the plurality of legs further includes a third leg and a fourth leg, each pivotable about a second axis parallel to the first axis. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The saw stand of claim 14, wherein the first and second legs cross the third and fourth legs when the saw stand is in the second configuration. ### Claim 16 A saw stand comprising: a table having a saw support surface; a plurality of legs pivotally coupled to the table, the plurality of legs including a first leg and a second leg, each pivotable about a first axis, and the plurality of legs further including a third leg and a fourth leg, each pivotable about a second axis parallel to the first axis; a base frame extending from the third and fourth legs; a plurality of wheels coupled to the base frame or the third and fourth legs; and a latch mechanism including a latch element movable along the table, a first pin extending from the first leg, and a second pin extending from the third leg, wherein the saw stand is configurable in a first configuration in which the saw support surface is positioned at a first height, wherein the saw stand is configurable in a second configuration in which the saw support surface is positioned at a second height lower than the first height, wherein the saw stand is configurable in a third configuration in which the saw support surface extends perpendicular to the base frame, and wherein the latch element is engageable with the first pin and the second pin to selectively retain the saw stand in the third configuration. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The saw stand of claim 16, wherein the saw stand is configured as a hand truck in the third configuration. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The saw stand of claim 16, wherein the latch mechanism includes an actuator and a rod extending along the table interconnecting the latch element with the actuator. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The saw stand of claim 18, wherein the actuator is configured as a foot pedal when the saw stand is in the third configuration.
