Abstract

A sawhorse includes a modular work surface supported by a frame. The modular work surface includes a first side portion, a second side portion and a central portion. The modular work surface is configured to move between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration. In the compact configuration the first side portion and the second side portion are adjacent to one another to provide a compact worktop and the central portion is positioned beneath the compact worktop. In the expanded configuration, the first side portion and the second side portion are distal to one another and the central portion is positioned therebetween to create an expanded worktop.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system comprising a first sawhorse and a second sawhorse, each of said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse comprising:
a first portion including a first portion work surface formed thereon, said first portion including a first portion first edge and a first portion second edge;
a second portion including a second portion work surface formed thereon, said second portion including a second portion first edge and a second portion second edge, said second portion work surface extending substantially coplanar to said first portion work surface such that when said first portion second edge is in contact with said second portion first edge said first portion work surface and said second portion work surface form a continuous sawhorse work surface;
said first portion including a protrusion disposed adjacent said first portion first edge, and said second portion including a loop disposed adjacent said second portion second edge; wherein,
said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse may be secured together with said protrusion of said first sawhorse engageable with said loop of said second sawhorse.

2. The system recited in claim 1 , each of said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse comprising a first support and a second support, wherein, said first portion of each sawhorse is disposed on said first support of each sawhorse and said second portion of each sawhorse is disposed on said second support of each sawhorse.

3. The system recited in claim 2 , wherein, when said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse are secured together said first sawhorse continuous sawhorse work surface and said second sawhorse continuous sawhorse work surface form a continuous system sawhorse work surface.

4. The system recited in claim 3 , said second portion second edge further including a lever rotatably secured thereon, said loop rotatably secured to said lever; wherein, in order to secure said first sawhorse to said second sawhorse said loop of said second sawhorse is disposed about said protrusion of said first sawhorse and said lever is rotated to pull said loop and said protrusion towards said second sawhorse.

5. The system recited in claim 2 , said second portion second edge further including a lever rotatably secured thereon, said loop rotatably secured to said lever; wherein, in order to secure said first sawhorse to said second sawhorse said loop of said second sawhorse is disposed about said protrusion of said first sawhorse and said lever is rotated to pull said loop and said protrusion towards said second sawhorse.

6. The system recited in claim 2 , wherein, when said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse are secured together said first portion of said first sawhorse is disposed upon said second portion of said second sawhorse.

7. The system recited in claim 1 , said second portion second edge further including a lever rotatably secured thereon, said loop rotatably secured to said lever; wherein, in order to secure said first sawhorse to said second sawhorse said loop of said second sawhorse is disposed about said protrusion of said first sawhorse and said lever is rotated to pull said loop and said protrusion towards said second sawhorse.

8. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein, when said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse are secured together said first portion of said first sawhorse is disposed upon said second portion of said second sawhorse.

9. The system recited in claim 1 , wherein, when said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse are secured together said first sawhorse continuous sawhorse work surface and said second sawhorse continuous sawhorse work surface form a continuous system sawhorse work surface.

10. A system comprising a first sawhorse and a second sawhorse, each of said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse comprising:
a first portion including a first portion work surface formed thereon, said first portion including a first portion first edge and a first portion second edge;
a second portion including a second portion work surface formed thereon, said second portion including a second portion first edge and a second portion second edge, said second portion work surface extending substantially coplanar to said first portion work surface such that when said first portion second edge is in contact with said second portion first edge said first portion work surface and said second portion work surface form a continuous sawhorse work surface; and
means to selectively secure and unsecure said first sawhorse to said second sawhorse, said means allowing said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse to be secured together in a first position where said first sawhorse continuous sawhorse work surface and said second sawhorse continues sawhorse work surface form a continuous system sawhorse work surface and in a second position where said first portion of said first sawhorse is disposed upon said second portion of said second sawhorse.

11. The system recited in claim 10 , each of said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse comprising a first support and a second support, wherein, said first portion of each sawhorse is disposed on said first support of each sawhorse and said second portion of each sawhorse is disposed on said second support of each sawhorse.

12. The system recited in claim 11 , said means to secure and unsecure comprising a protrusion disposed adjacent said first portion first edge and a loop disposed adjacent said second portion second edge.

13. The system recited in claim 10 , said means to secure and unsecure comprising a protrusion disposed adjacent said first portion first edge and a loop disposed adjacent said second portion second edge.

14. A system comprising a first sawhorse and a second sawhorse, each of said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse comprising:
a work surface having a first edge and a second edge;
a protrusion disposed adjacent said first edge;
a loop disposed adjacent said second edge; wherein,
said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse may be secured together with said protrusion of said first sawhorse engageable with said loop of said second sawhorse; and wherein, said first sawhorse and said second sawhorse may be secured together in a first position where said first sawhorse work surface and said second sawhorse work surface form a continuous system sawhorse work surface and in a second position where said first sawhorse work surface is disposed upon said second sawhorse work surface.
