Abstract:
1. Saw horse having at least two stand elements, each stand element having a base and two vertical braces which are arranged to leave an interspace for accommodating a piece of wood, and which project upwardly from the base, a retaining element being arranged between the two stand elements and having two vertical braces, the vertical braces of the stand elements and the retaining element have free ends that are not connected together so that the vertical braces of the stand elements and the retaining elements form a fork-shape, support bars are provided to connect the vertical braces of the respective stand elements and retaining element, the wood being placeable on the support bars, wherein two parallel connecting elements are provided so that one of the connecting elements connects together one of the vertical braces of each of the stand elements and one of the vertical braces of the retaining element, and another of the connecting elements connects together another of the vertical braces of each of the stand elements and another of the vertical braces of the retaining element so that the interspaces between the vertical braces of the two stand elements and the retaining element are aligned with one another in an operating position, wherein the connecting elements are pivotably secured to the vertical braces of the stand elements and the retaining element so that the connecting elements pivot about longitudinal axes of the vertical braces so that the saw horse may be folded up in a parallelogram manner, in plane view, from its operating position, in which the connecting elements are spaced at a maximum distance from one another, into a storage position in which the connecting elements are spaced at a minimum distance from one another.
