Folding sawhorse

Abstract

A folding sawhorse includes an elongate plastic body having a top wall with an upper work surface, and a plurality of side walls, the walls defining a storage compartment. The folding sawhorse further comprises a plurality of metal legs that are pivotally disposed relative to the plastic body, the legs being movable between a deployed position wherein the legs are capable of supporting the plastic body in a condition for use, and a storage position in which the legs are folded so as to be substantially disposed in the storage compartment, wherein the metal legs forcibly engage with adjacent plastic surfaces of the plastic body when the legs are deployed. The folding sawhorse further comprises each leg pair comprising a first pivot axis allowing the pair of legs to be pivoted together outwardly from the storage compartment to an extended position, and a second pivot axis allowing pair of legs to be pivotally separated away from one another to the deployed position. The folding sawhorse may further comprise a handle portion recessed in the top wall so as not to project above the work surface. The folding sawhorse may further comprise a latch member pivotally connected with one of the side walls and latchable to an opposite of the side walls to lock the legs in the storage compartment.
