1 Claim.
This invention relates to a table, bench or trestle and more particularly to a sawhorse used in connection therewith, the sawhorse beingespecially useful for picnic tables, benches and trestles such as are used in the home, at churches, lodges, banquet halls, as well as by carpenters, paper hangers, painters and other workmen.
The invention aims to provide an exceedingly simple novel construction which may be manufactured at low cost in any size, in mass production, the same comprising three parts demountably connected together.
The more specific objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the description following taken in connection with accompanying drawing illustrating an operative embodiment.
In said drawing:-
Figure 1 is a View showing the invention in side elevation;
Figure 2 is an end elevation of the invention;
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 1; and Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Referring specifically to the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate like or similar parts which may be manufactured in any desired size and of any preferred material, designates a top bar, usually of wood, which has its edge horizontal.
Associated with the top bar and detachable therefrom and from each other are supporting devices ll, one at each end thereof. Said denotched at l3 so as to extend into grooves or slots [4 in opposite sides of the top bar In, which grooves are lined with felt, rubber or any soft or cushioning material as at 15, to enable the legs to engage in the slots or grooves with varying pressure. Difliculty is experienced with the legs unduly wearing, breaking and splitting at the cutaway portions or notches l3, and to this end, plates or cleats l6 are provided on opposite 45 sides of the legs, for direct engagement by the lower edge of the top bar l0. Such plates or cleats are riveted as at H to the legs.
a; vices II have legs l2 usually of wood which. are
1937, Serial No. 167,854
The legs of each device H are adapted to clampingly grip the top bar [0 in the slots or grooves l4 and to this end, suitable toggle or spreading means are provided as at l8. Such means may consist of links H], pivoted by rivets to the legs and by a rivet 2| to each other, their movement to spreading position being lim ited by a hook 22 on one of them engaging a link adjacent to the same. By such a device, any suitable degree of pressure may be applied according to the proportioning of the parts.
In addition, to provide an exceedingly rigid structure, braces 23 are pivoted at 24 to the legs and they have hook ends or slots 25 which releasably engage headed lugs 26 carried by the top bar 10.
As a result of the construction described, three separable devices constitute the invention namely the top bar II] and supporting devices I l, and al though detachable and separable from each other, when assembled, provide an exceedingly rigid structure and the support of the top bar ID occurs at the metal plates or cleats I6, avoid ing splitting of the legs at the notches I3. The structure is exceedingly simple, handy and efficient in the home, factory, an auditorium and various places.
Various changes may be resorted to provided they fall within the spirit and scope of the in-- vention.
I claim as my invention:--
A structure of the class described having a top bar, supporting devices therefor, said devices comprising legs, spreading means connected to the legs, said legs being notched at one end to engage the top bar, cleats pivoted to the legs adjacent the bases of the notches at points outwardly of the notches and arranged to directly support said top bar to minimize danger of splitting of the legs, compressible material lining the grooves, and the spreading means for the legs comprising links pivoted to the legs and to each other, one of the links having a hook thereon engageable with the other link to limit their relative movement.
