Abstract
A support apparatus may be formed from a single sheet of generally planar material that is cut to define the requisite frame and subparts, and the spaces to position those subparts during use and storage of the apparatus. The support apparatus, which may function as a sawhorse, may be purchased and/or delivered on site as a generally planar unit, the legs and pegs broken out from the frame and the whole apparatus assembled for use. Following use, the apparatus may then be dissembled and reconfigured back into a generally planar configuration for storage and/or transport.
Claims20
A support apparatus comprising:
- a planar sheet, a first and a second leg member, and a plurality of peg members, the sheet having a first and a second end and a pair of sides, and defining an open interior area, a cutout proximate the first end, and a first and second channel proximate the second end, the cutout being dimensioned to receive a crossbar and including a peg receiving space, one of said legs being received in each channel, and each channel including a peg receiving space, and a peg being received in the peg receiving space, with each peg engaging a portion of the leg in the channel to frictionally secure the leg in the channel.
A support apparatus comprising:
- a planar sheet, the sheet having a first and a second end, a pair of substantially parallel sides, and an interior area, the interior area including a first and a second leg member and a plurality of peg members, each leg member and peg being formed integral to the sheet and at least each leg being attached to the sheet by a frangible portion, the sheet defining a cutout proximate the first end, and a first and second channel proximate the second end, the cutout operating to receive a crossbar and including a peg receiving space, the each channel including a peg receiving space and operating to receive one of said legs.
A support apparatus comprising:
- a first and a second planar sheet, each sheet including a first and a second leg member, and a plurality of peg members, each sheet also having a first and a second end and a pair of substantially parallel sides, and each sheet defining an open interior area, a cutout proximate the first end, and a first and second channel proximate the second end, the cutout operating to receive a crossbar and including a peg receiving space, each channel including a peg receiving space and one of said legs being received by each channel to support each sheet in a substantially vertical orientation;
- and
- an elongated crossbar extending between the first and second sheets, one end of the crossbar being received in each cutout of the sheets.
