Abstract
A sawhorse has a first pair of legs connected to a first bracket, the first pair of legs comprising first and second legs which are independently movable relative to one another, a second pair of legs connected to a second bracket, the second pair of legs comprising third and fourth legs which are independently movable relative to one another, and a head connected to the first and second brackets and spacing the first and second pairs of legs from one another. The legs can be moved from an extended position to a retracted or collapsed position where they extend along and generally parallel to the head. The sawhorse includes a latching mechanism which allows it to be connected to a second sawhorse for storage and transport.

A sawhorse comprising:
- a first bracket having a top and defining a first channel recessed into said top;
- a second bracket having a top and defining a second channel recessed into said top;
- a first pair of legs connected to said first bracket, said first pair of legs comprising a first leg movably connected to said first bracket and a second leg movably connected to said first bracket, said first and second legs movable independently from one another;
- a second pair of legs connected to said second bracket, said second pair of legs comprising a third leg movably connected to said second bracket and a fourth leg movably connected to said second bracket, said third and fourth legs movable independently from one another;
- and
- a head fixedly connected to said first and second brackets within said first channel and said second channel and spacing said first and second pairs of legs from one another.
A pair of sawhorses comprising:
- a first sawhorse comprising:
- a first pair of legs connected to a first bracket, said first pair of legs comprising a first leg movably connected to said first bracket and a second leg movably connected to said first bracket, said first and second legs movable independently from one another;
- a second pair of legs connected to a second bracket, said second pair of legs comprising a third leg movably connected to said second bracket and a fourth leg movably connected to said second bracket, said third and fourth legs movable independently from one another;
- a first head connected to said first and second brackets and spacing said first and second pairs of legs from one another;
- and
- a first locking element associated with said first bracket and a second locking element associated with said second bracket;
- wherein said first pair of legs and said second pair of legs are movable from an extend position to a retracted position in which said first and second pairs of legs extend generally parallel to said first head;
- and
- a second sawhorse comprising:
- a third pair of legs connected to a third bracket, said third pair of legs comprising a fifth leg movably connected to said third bracket and a sixth leg movably connected to said third bracket, said fifth and sixth legs movable independently from one another;
- a fourth pair of legs connected to a fourth bracket, said fourth pair of legs comprising a seventh leg movably connected to said fourth bracket and an eighth leg movably connected to said fourth bracket, said seventh and eighth legs movable independently from one another;
- a second head connected to said third and fourth brackets and spacing said third and fourth pairs of legs from one another;
- and
- a third locking element associated with said third bracket and a fourth locking element associated with said fourth bracket;
- wherein said third pair of legs and said fourth pair of legs are movable from an extend position to a retracted position in which said third and fourth second pairs of legs extend generally parallel to said second head;
- and
