Abstract

An extendable sawhorse includes a main body having a platform and a plurality of receiving members depending therefrom. The sawhorse is adjustable between an extended arrangement and a condensed arrangement. A plurality of extension members are interchangeably coupled to each of the receiving members in the extended arrangement. The extendable sawhorse further includes a plurality of feet having a first end and a second end. The first end of the feet is coupled to the extension members in the extended arrangement and the second end of the feet is coupled to legs in the condensed arrangement.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An extendable sawhorse configurable from a condensed arrangement to an extended arrangement, comprising:
a main body including a platform and a plurality of receiving members depending from the platform, each of the receiving members having a rectilinear cavity defined by inner walls providing a continuous rectangular perimeter of the cavity; and
a plurality of feet,
wherein each of the feet has a receptacle body and a plug with a generally flat end, the receptacle body including a rectilinear opening formed therein,
wherein the plug extends outwardly from the receptacle body and is diametrically opposed to the opening,
wherein in the condensed arrangement the plug of each one of the feet is received in one of the receiving members,
wherein in the extended arrangement one of the cavities of the receiving members is configured to receive a first end of an extension member having a uniform rectangular cross section along a longitudinal direction of the extension member, and one of the openings of the receptacle bodies is configured to receive a second end of the extension member, and
wherein the inner walls of the cavity generally correspond in size and shape to outer surfaces of each of the plug and the extension member such that the inner walls of the cavity can be frictionally engaged with the outer surfaces of each of the plug and the extension member.

2. The sawhorse of claim 1 , including an extension member, wherein the extension member is wood.

3. The sawhorse of claim 2 , wherein the extension member is a 2×4 piece of lumber.

4. The sawhorse of claim 1 , wherein the platform comprises a pair of support members hingedly coupled to each other along a longitudinal axis, the platform configurable in an open position and a closed position.

5. The sawhorse of claim 4 , further comprising a recess formed in an upper surface of each platform.

6. The sawhorse of claim 1 , wherein the main body and the feet are formed of a plastic material.

7. The sawhorse of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of ribs formed on the sidewalls of the cavity.

8. The sawhorse of claim 1 , further comprising at least one hanging feature formed on main body.

9. An extendable sawhorse, comprising:
a main body including a platform and plurality of receiving members depending from the platform, each of the receiving members having a rectilinear cavity defined by inner walls providing a continuous rectangular perimeter of the cavity; and
a plurality of feet, each of the feet having a receptacle, a plug, and a lug, each of the lugs disposed on a side of a corresponding one of the feet, each of the receptacles of the feet including an opening formed therein, and the plug extending outwardly from the receptacle opposite the opening and configured to be received within a one of the receiving members, and
a stabilizing member having two opposed ends and configured to be releasably coupled to the feet, wherein each end of the stabilizing member includes a keyhole-shaped opening configured to receive a portion of the lug of one of the feet therein.

10. A kit for an extendable sawhorse configurable from a condensed arrangement to an extended arrangement, comprising:
a main body including a platform and a plurality of receiving members depending from the platform, each of the receiving members having a rectilinear cavity defined by inner walls providing a continuous rectangular perimeter of the cavity; and
a plurality of feet,
wherein each of the feet has a receptacle body with an opening formed at a first end thereof and a plug with a generally flat end at a second end thereof,
wherein the plug extends outwardly from the receptacle body and is diametrically opposed to the opening,
wherein in the condensed arrangement the plug of each one of the feet is configured to be received in one of the receiving members,
wherein in the extended arrangement one of the cavities of the receiving members is configured to receive a first end of an extension member having a uniform rectangular cross section along a longitudinal direction of the extension member, and one of the openings of the receptacle bodies is configured to receive a second end of the extension member, and
wherein the inner walls of the cavity generally correspond in size and shape to outer surfaces of each of the plug and the extension member such that the inner walls of the cavity can be frictionally engaged with the outer surfaces of each of the plug and the extension member.

11. The kit of claim 10 , further comprising a stabilizing member configured for coupling to and extending between a pair of the feet to militate against a splaying of the feet.

12. The kit of claim 10 , wherein the platform comprises a pair of support members hingedly coupled to each other, wherein the platform is configurable in an open position and a closed position.

13. The kit of claim 10 , including an extension member, wherein the main body and the feet are formed of plastic, and the extension member is formed of wood.
