Abstract
A sawhorse work table includes a first inverted V-shaped leg support assembly at one end of the table and a second inverted V-shaped leg support assembly at the other end. The work table surface is formed by a pair of horizontally spaced apart horizontally disposed members secured to the outer longitudinal vertical surfaces of the leg members which provides space therebetween sufficient to allow work tools to operate therebetween on work pieces supported on the top support surfaces of the horizontal members. A horizontally disposed shelf is pivotally connected to the table in one position and in a second position extends over the top of the horizontal members to provide a solid top work surface.
Claims4
A sawhorse work table comprising,
- a first inverted V-shaped leg support assembly at one end of said table and a second inverted V-shaped leg support assembly at the other end of said table, each leg assembly includes a pair of leg members having top and bottom ends and inner and outer longitudinal vertical surfaces,
- a pair of horizontally spaced apart horizontally disposed members secured to the outer surfaces of said leg members to provide spaced apart horizontally disposed coplanar support surfaces whereby the spacing between said horizontal members is sufficient to allow for work tools to operate therebetween on work pieces supported on said support surfaces, and
- a hinge pivotally interconnects each pair of leg members at their top ends, said hinge being entirely below the top ends of said leg members, and the support surfaces of said horizontal members whereby work tools may operate in the space between said horizontal members over each said hinge throughout the full length of said horizontal members, and said top ends having end surfaces which are coplanar and horizontal, and said coplanar horizontal support surfaces and said end surfaces of said top ends of said leg members being coplanar and horizontal.
