Support bracket

Abstract

The support bracket relates to use in a sawhorse, picnic table, workbench or the like which may be operably and facilely folded for purposes of transportation and/or storage and comprising a generally solid rectangular shell forming a housing with a top surface and four discontinuous side walls. A first socket is fashioned within the housing shell and has a central longitudinal axis extending downwardly from the shell. A second, similar socket is fashioned within the housing shell and includes a central longitudinal axis which forms an acute angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the first socket member. A rail slot is fashioned along a top surface of the housing and intimately engages with one end of a two-by-four operable to form a horizontal work surface. A transverse trough is also formed across the top surface of the housing shell and extends perpendicular to the rail slot for operably receiving a two-by-four or the like. The transverse trough selectively supports crossing members to form a table or the like. A third socket is fashioned within the generally rectangular shell housing between the first and second sockets and extends downwardly beneath the rail slot and transverse trough to receive a third leg extending vertically downwardly between the outwardly sloping first and second legs connected to the support bracket.
