INVENTOR WILLIAM J. M DONALD Patented Mar. 19, 1940 I I 1 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GARPENTERS HORSE William J. McDonald, Kansas City, Mo. Application November 14, 1938', Serial No. 240,365
5 Claims. (01. 304-5) My invention relates to carpenters horses, Sheet metal, nly Portions of Which are fl ed, and more particularly a carpenters horse that is as will be explained in connection with the demade up of metal frame members and lumber scrip of Said frame membersordinarily found on a building job. Said frame members have leg portions 5 which 5 It is a purpose of my invention to provide a are channel-shaped in cross section, having the 5 carpenters horse that is made up of a pair of outwardly directed flanges 6 thereon. Said leg duplicate frame members, that is simple and portions diverge from each other transversely cheap in construction, and which at the same of the horse and are inclined at an an e to the time will make a strong and rigid horse wh n transverse connecting portion 1, so that the leg 10 the frame members are assembled with pieces of portions of the two frames extend away from 10 lumber ordinarily plentiful ona building job. eac Ot er he ass mbled n t e horse, as
It is a further purpose of my invention to proshown in Fig. 1, this being accomplished by vide a carpenters horse of the above mentioned bending the P ce f mate a o Wh ch the character, which is capable of quick assembly transverse portion 1 and the leg portions 5 are I 5 and the metal portions of which can be readily made obliquely at the points indicated by the 5 transported from place to place. numeral 8 in Fig. 3.

If the legs 5 and for providing a longitudinal member below the ransverse po t s 1 are made piece O top member thereof, which serves as a shelf channel iron, the flanges 6 of the channel are for tools and other equipment, and also acts as bent outwardly so as to extend the same in the means for bracing the horse. a same plane as the web portion of the channel, to
Previously, my improved carpenters horse is provide the flat transverse top member 1. I In made up of frame members comprising leg pororder that the flanges 6 do not extend upwardly 25 tions and a transverse portion to which the top above the plane of the top face of the member 1, piece, or pieces, of the horse are secured, which it is necessary to out these off at an oblique leg portions and transverse portions are integral angle, so that when the member is made out of with each other, and to provide shelf supporting channel iron it must be notched on opposite sides means bracing said leg portions and extending of the portion that is to form the flat top membetween the same, said leg portions being, preferher 1, so as to permit bending of the same into ably, channel-shaped with the flanges thereof the shape shown, and to prevent the flanges 6 turned outwardly to permit of the more ready sefrom extending upwardly above the top face of curement of the shelf supporting bracing portion the member I, said notches being V-shaped, as

Other objects and advantages of my invention The transverse portion 1 is thus considerably will appear as the description of the drawing wider than the leg portions 5, providing a smooth proceeds. I desire to have it understood, howflat face for engagement of the member 9, made ever, that I do not intend to limit myself to the of wood, which is secured thereto, to form the top 49 particular details shown or described, except aspart of the horse, by means of the countersunk 0 defined in the claims. headed securing elements H), such as bolts, which In the drawing: extend through openings bored in the piece of Fig. 1 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view lumber 9 and through openings ll provided in through my improved carpenters horse, taken the fiat transverse top portionv l of each frame.

Fig. 2 is an end view of my improved e, and that the hole II on one side of the member 1 is Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in perspective of out of line with the two holes ll on the other the upp p t of one of the frame members side thereof. The top member 9 is, preferably, forming the legs n pp g means for the made of a length such that it will extend con- 50 top and shelf D rt siderably beyond the fiat portions 1 of the frame 50 Referri n d ta o the drawms, y mmembers, as will be obvious from Fig. 1. proved carpenters horse is made up O frames A transversely extending angle member I2 is that are made of metal and are, preferably, made provided, connecting the inclined leg portions 5, principally of a piece of channel iron, although said angle member having an upstanding flange the same can be made of a piece of flat heavy l3, against which the end. of the wooden shelf member l4, made of a suitable piece of lumber, abuts to prevent any endwise shifting of said member 14 relative to the angle members I2, said angle members l2 being provided with openings I5 for the bolts l6 for securing the piece of lumber 14, forming the shelf, to said angle members, said holes being, preferably, staggered.
The angle member I2 is provided with depending ear portions H, which are formed by cutting off the flange l3 from the angle member l2 at the ends thereof and bending down the ears I! at an oblique angle, said ears ll being, of course, extended in a plane that is both oblique to the flange l3 and the bottom flange of the angle member 12, to thus cause said ears 5'! to lie flatwise against the obliquely inclined inner faces of the web portions of the channel shaped legs 5. Said ears I! are secured rigidly in fixed position on the inner faces ofthe-leg portions 5, by riveting, or welding, or in any other manner, rivets IB'being illustrated as being provided for this purpose. Openings 59 are also provided in the legs 5 above the angle members 2, so that bracing members 20 can be pivoted to the leg portions 5, by means of bolts 2|, should this be desired or found necessary, said bracing members being provided with eyes 22 for pivotally mounting the'same on the bolts 2|, and being provided with eyes 23 that lie in a plane transverse to that of the eyes 22 for securement flatwise to the under side of the top forming member 9, by means of bolts 2d, which are countersunk, as will be evident, one bolt 24 being provided for each pair of members 20, the same inclining toward the center line of the horse, as will be evident from Fig. 2.
It will be obvious that the frame members, instead of being made out of structural shapes and cut and bent into such shape as shown in the drawing, can be made of sheet metal, cut and flanged as shown, provided a sufficiently heavy gauge of sheet metal is used to obtain the desired strength andrigidity for the frame members.
