Collapsible leg assembly for self-leveling devices

A collapsible leg assembly for use with self-leveling platforms or supports, comprising:

• (a) a first tubular leg having an upper portion and a lower portion;
• (b) a second tubular leg having an upper portion and a lower portion;
• (c) a crossbar extending between the first and second legs, wherein the crossbar further includes a first section and a second section, and wherein the first and second sections of the crossbar are detachably connected to one another;
• (d) an upper leg receptacle, wherein the upper leg receptacle is adapted to receive the upper portion of the first leg in a hinged manner and the upper portion of the second leg in a hinged manner, and wherein the upper leg receptacle further includes a stem and a flange positioned on top of the stem;
• (e) a first lower leg receptacle, wherein the first lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the first leg in a fixed manner, and wherein the first lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the first section of the crossbar in hinged manner;
• and
• (f) a second lower leg receptacle, wherein the second lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the second leg in a fixed manner, and wherein the second lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the second section of the crossbar in hinged manner.

A collapsible leg assembly for use with self-leveling platforms or supports, comprising:

• (a) a first tubular leg having an upper portion and a lower portion;
• (b) a second tubular leg having an upper portion and a lower portion;
• (c) a substantially flat crossbar extending between the first and second legs, wherein the crossbar further includes a first section and a second section, and wherein the first and second sections of the crossbar are detachably connected to one another;
• (d) an upper leg receptacle, wherein the upper leg receptacle is adapted to receive the upper portion of the first leg in a hinged manner and the upper portion of the second leg in a hinged manner, and wherein the upper leg receptacle further includes a stem and a flange positioned on top of the stem, and wherein the stem and flange are adapted to cooperate with a bracket assembly that includes:
• (i) a first section having a stem and flange receiving region formed therein;
• (ii) a second section having a stem and flange receiving region formed therein,
• (iii) wherein the first and section sections cooperate with each other to enclose the stem and flange on the upper leg receptacle and mechanically cooperate therewith to permit rotational and pivotal movement between the upper leg receptacle and the bracket assembly;
• (e) a first lower leg receptacle, wherein the first lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the first leg in a fixed manner, and wherein the first lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the first section of the crossbar in hinged manner;
• and
• (f) a second lower leg receptacle, wherein the second lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the second leg in a fixed manner, and wherein the second lower leg receptacle is adapted to receive the second section of the crossbar in hinged manner.
