Abstract
A sawhorse includes a modular work surface supported by a frame. The modular work surface includes a first side portion, a second side portion and a central portion. The modular work surface is configured to move between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration. In the compact configuration the first side portion and the second side portion are adjacent to one another to provide a compact worktop and the central portion is positioned beneath the compact worktop. In the expanded configuration, the first side portion and the second side portion are distal to one another and the central portion is positioned therebetween to create an expanded worktop.
Claims20
A sawhorse comprising:
- a first support and a second support;
- a first side portion disposed on said first support and including a first side portion work surface formed thereon;
- a second side portion disposed on said second support and including a second side portion work surface formed thereon, second side portion work surface extending substantially coplanar to said first side portion work surface;
- a support rod;
- a central portion including a central portion work surface, said central portion supported on and rotatably disposed about said support rod;
- wherein,
- said central portion is rotatable between a first position where said central portion work surface is substantially not coplanar with said first side portion work surface and said second side portion work surface, and a second position where said central portion work surface is substantially coplanar with said first side portion work surface and said second side portion work surface to form an expanded sawhorse work surface.
A method of extending a work surface of a sawhorse having a first side portion having a first side portion work support surface, a second side portion having a second side portion work support surface, said first side portion in lateral contact with said second side portion with said first side portion work support surface extending substantially coplanar with said second side portion work support surface to jointly form a sawhorse work surface in a compact state, and a central portion having a central portion work support surface disposed vertically below both said first side portion and said second side portion with said central portion work support surface not coplanar with either the first side portion work support surface or the second side portion work support surface, the method comprising the steps of:
- sliding the first side portion laterally away from said second side portion so as to create a space therebetween;
- and moving the central portion to a position where the central portion is between the first side portion and the second side portion with the central portion work support surface substantially coplanar with said first side portion work support surface and said second side portion work support surface sawhorse work surface to create a sawhorse work surface in an expanded state and having a greater longitudinal extent than said sawhorse work surface in a compact state, said step of moving including rotating the central portion about a longitudinal axis.
A sawhorse comprising:
- a modular work surface supported by a frame, said modular work surface including a first side portion, a second side portion and a central portion, wherein;
- said modular work surface is configured to move between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration, and wherein in the compact configuration the first side portion and the second side portion are adjacent to one another to provide a compact worktop and the central portion is positioned beneath the compact worktop, and wherein in the expanded configuration, the first side portion and the second side portion are distal to one another and the central portion is positioned between the first side portion and the second side portion to create an expanded worktop, and wherein;
- the sawhorse further comprises means for securing the modular work surface in either the compact configuration or in the expanded configuration.
