-
FIG. 1 provides an example embodiment of the disclosed saw horse apparatus. The saw horse comprisesfirst component 110 andsecond component 120.First component 110 comprisesfirst leg 115,second leg 117, andfirst cross member 116.Second component 120 comprisesthird leg 123,fourth leg 125 andsecond cross member 127. Further stabilization may be provided bythird cross member 118. End ofthird leg 185 and end offourth leg 165 are rotatably connected tofirst cross member 116. In an example embodiment,first leg 115 andsecond leg 117 are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to firstcross member 116. Additionally,first leg 115 andsecond leg 117 are substantially coplanar.First cross member 116 may or may not be coplanar with the plane containingfirst leg 115 andsecond leg 117. In an example embodiment,third leg 123 andfourth leg 125 are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular tosecond cross member 127. Additionally,third leg 123 andfourth leg 125 are substantially coplanar.Second cross member 127 may or may not be coplanar with the plane containingthird leg 123 andfourth leg 125. - Connecting means 130 may be connected from
second cross member 127 tothird cross member 118. Non-limiting examples of connecting means 130 include a chain, cable, and rope among others. An example embodiment of support means 140 may be used to supportfourth cross member 150. Support means 140 is shown inFIG. 1 as two brackets, but could comprise any other means to supportfourth cross member 150. Non-limiting examples offourth cross member 150 include a wooden board, an aluminum member, and a steel member among others. In an example embodiment, a hook may extend from at least one ofcomponents - The ends of
legs first cross member 116 in a number of ways. As provided inFIG. 2 , the insertion ends of ends 165 (not shown inFIG. 2) and 185 may be configured to be smaller than the rest ofend 185 such that the insertion ends fits snugly within the open end offirst cross member 116 while allowing the insertion end to rotate within the open end ofcross member 116. - In an alternative embodiment, as provided in
FIG. 3 , the insertion ends offirst cross member 116 may be configured to be smaller than the rest ofcross member 116 such that the insertion ends fits snugly within the open end ofends 165 and 185 (not shown inFIG. 3 ) oflegs ends ends first cross member 116. Alternatively, either or both of the ends ofcross member 116 may be configured to be inserted into open ends ofends 165 and/or 185. - In a previously described embodiment, connection means 130 was disclosed to limit the distance between
second cross member 127 andthird cross member 118. Connection means 130 defines the maximum angle between the legs ofcomponents FIG. 4A , eliminates the connection means and uses at least one pair ofpegs components pegs first cross member 416. One or both ofpegs 460 and 470 (and ofpegs 480 and 490) may be moveable aroundend 485 and/or first cross member 416 (and aroundend 465 and/or first cross member 416). By moving a peg around one or both of the components, the maximum angle can be changed, thereby changing the height of the saw horse. In an example implementation, square holes (to inhibit twisting of the pegs) may be fabricated around the circumference and an L-shaped peg may be inserted in the desired hole to define a desired maximum angle. -
FIG. 4B provides an exploded view of the alternative embodiment ofFIG. 4A .First peg 470 is attached or formed ontoend 485 andsecond peg 460 is attached or formed ontofirst cross member 460. Although the insertion end is shown onend 485, the insertion end could also be configured onfirst cross member 416. Whenleg 120 is rotated in respect toleg 110, peg 470 will meet peg 460 at some point, thereby defining the maximum angle betweenlegs -
FIG. 5 provides an additional alternative embodiment in whichfirst cross member 418 fromFIG. 4A is removed. If the stability offirst cross member 418 is not useful, it may be removed to make the saw horse lighter.

Further stabilization may be provided bythird cross member 618. In an example embodiment,first leg 611,second leg 613,third leg 615, andfourth leg 617 are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular tofirst cross member 116. Additionally,first leg 611,second leg 613,third leg 615, andfourth leg 617 are substantially coplanar.First cross member 616 may or may not be coplanar with the plane containingfirst leg 611,second leg 613,third leg 615, andfourth leg 617. In an example embodiment,fifth leg 623 andsixth leg 625 are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular tosecond cross member 627.

If the pair ofthird leg 615 andfourth leg 617 are not used,third cross member 618 may be extended betweenfirst leg 611 andsecond leg 613. If the peg implementation of defining the maximum angle is used,third cross member 618 may be removed from the design altogether. Although secondtop end 680, thirdtop end 690, fifthtop end 660, and sixthtop end 670 are illustrated as having a larger diameter thanfirst cross member 616, they may be substantially the same diameter asfirst cross member 616. The section of first cross member that firsttop end 685 andsecond end 665 fits over may be larger, smaller, or substantially equal to the circumference offirst cross member 616. -

In an example embodiment,tray 799 will keep the legs from spreading apart or folding in.Legs tray 799 conform to a leg of each of the modules. Each of the connectors oftray 799 may connect to one of the legs andtray 799 may also act as a stop for the saw horse, defining the maximum angle betweenfirst component 710 andsecond component 720 in an open position. - In an example embodiment, one connector is at the front of one side of
tray 799 and another connector is at the rear of the opposite side oftray 799. One connector connects to a leg offirst component 710 and another connector connects to a leg ofsecond component 720 such that there is an offset between the two connectors to meet up properly with the legs. In an example embodiment, the connectors are rotated to the left on one side and to the right on the other. The connectors may be configured to curl around one leg in one direction and curl around the other leg in the other direction to meet the offset of the legs.Tray 799 may project out to the side of the sawhourse, depending on the size of the tray that is selected.
