Collapsible sawhorse

A collapsible sawhorse comprising:

• a plurality of brackets, each bracket comprising a pair of bracket members and each member having a jaw region and a base region, the members being interconnected between their respective jaw regions and base regions for pivotal movement between a deployed position, wherein the jaw regions are held in close spatial proximity and the base regions are relatively spaced apart, and a collapsed position, wherein the base regions are held in relatively close spatial proximity and the jaw regions are relatively spaced apart;
• a plurality of legs, at least one leg being mounted to each base region of each bracket member for supporting the brackets above a surface;
• locking means coupled with the legs for maintaining the legs in position when the bracket members are in the deployed position, said means being moveable contemporaneously with the legs when the bracket members are moved between the deployed position and the collapsed position:
• and
• a pair of crossbars, each crossbar being constructed of a conventional 1 inch wooden plank rigidly mounted only to the front surface of a jaw region of each bracket member so as to be completely independent of the other crossbar and supported by a respective bracket in generally parallel disposition to the other crossbar and whereby, when the brackets are in the deployed position, the crossbars firmly abut one another so that forces applied to one crossbar are also applied to the other crossbar when an object is supported on the sawhorse, and when the brackets are in the collapsed position, the crossbars move away from one another and are each independently supported by said brackets, there being no direct connection between said crossbars.
