Abstract

A folding sawhorse includes a first frame, a second frame and a folding shelf. The first frame includes a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, and an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member. The second frame includes a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member. The shelf includes a first shelf interconnected with a second shelf with a central hinge, wherein the first shelf is interconnected with the first frame with a hinge formed along a lower strut of the first frame and the second shelf is interconnected with the second frame with a hinge formed along a lower strut of the second frame, and wherein the first frame and the second frame pivot about a vertical hinge to form a “V” shape when the shelf is in a closed position.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A folding sawhorse comprising: 
 a first frame having a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member, a pair of parallel spaced apart legs extending from and integrally formed with the lower horizontal brace, and a lower strut formed along a top edge of the lower horizontal brace member;    a second frame having a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member, a pair of parallel spaced apart legs extending from and integrally formed with the lower horizontal brace, and a lower strut formed along a top edge of the lower horizontal brace member;    a generally trapezoidal folding shelf including a first shelf interconnected with a second shelf with a central hinge, wherein the first shelf is interconnected with the first frame with a hinge formed along the lower strut of the first frame and the second shelf is interconnected with the second frame with a hinge formed along the lower strut of the second frame;    wherein the first frame and the second frame pivot about a vertical hinge to form a V-shape when the folding shelf is in a locked position.    
     
     
         2 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 1 , wherein the folding shelf is permanently attached to the first frame and the second frame.  
     
     
         3 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 1 , wherein the sawhorse is formed from a lightweight plastic material.  
     
     
         4 . A folding sawhorse comprising: 
 a first frame having a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, and an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member;    a second frame having a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member;    a shelf attached along a first edge to the first frame and attached along a second edge to the second frame, wherein the shelf is orthogonal to the first vertical members of the first and second frames when the shelf is in an open locked position;    wherein the first frame and the second frame pivot about a vertical hinge to form a V-shape when the shelf is in the open locked position.    
     
     
         5 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 4 , wherein the first frame further includes a pair of parallel spaced apart legs extending from and integrally formed with the lower horizontal brace.  
     
     
         6 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 4 , wherein the first frame further includes a lower strut formed along a top edge of the lower horizontal brace member.  
     
     
         7 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 6 , wherein the second frame further includes a pair of parallel spaced apart legs extending from and integrally formed with the lower horizontal brace.  
     
     
         8 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 7 , wherein the second frame further includes a lower strut formed along a top edge of the lower horizontal brace member.  
     
     
         9 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 4 , wherein the shelf is a generally trapezoidal folding shelf.  
     
     
         10 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 4 , wherein the shelf is removably attached to the first frame and the second frame.  
     
     
         11 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 4 , wherein the shelf is permanently attached to the first frame and the second frame.  
     
     
         12 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 8 , wherein the shelf further includes a first shelf interconnected with a second shelf with a central hinge.  
     
     
         13 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 12 , wherein the first shelf is interconnected with the first frame with a hinge formed along the lower strut of the first frame and the second shelf is interconnected with the second frame with a hinge formed along the lower strut of the second frame.  
     
     
         14 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 4 , wherein the sawhorse is formed from a lightweight plastic material.  
     
     
         15 . A folding sawhorse comprising: 
 a first frame having a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, and an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member;    a second frame having a first vertical member spaced apart from and opposite a second vertical member, an upper horizontal brace member opposite and parallel to a lower horizontal brace member interconnecting the first vertical member to the second vertical member; 
 a shelf including a first shelf interconnected with a second shelf with a central hinge, wherein the first shelf is interconnected with the first frame with a hinge formed along a lower strut of the first frame and the second shelf is interconnected with the second frame with a hinge formed along a lower strut of the second frame, and wherein the first frame and the second frame pivot about a vertical hinge to form a “V” shape when the shelf is in a closed position.  
   
     
     
         16 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 15 , wherein the shelf is a generally trapezoidal shelf.  
     
     
         17 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 15 , wherein the sawhorse is formed from a lightweight plastic material.  
     
     
         18 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 15 , wherein the first frame and the second frame are generally rectangular.  
     
     
         19 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 18 , wherein the first frame and the second frame include a load bearing support member formed along a top edge of the upper horizontal members of the first and the second frames.  
     
     
         20 . The folding sawhorse according to  claim 15 , wherein the shelf folds between an open and the closed position.
