Abstract:
A sawhorse extender comprising, in combination:(a) a base member of a predetermined length, width and depth dimension and adapted for attachment to a cross member of a sawhorse, said base member being an extrusion having a planar bottom surface defining said width dimension, first and second opposed side surfaces defining said height dimension and a planar top surface comprising first and second segments each of a predetermined width dimension less than one-half of the width defined by the planar bottom surface, the first and second segments being coplanar and extending inward from said opposed side surface leaving a gap of a predetermined width dimension therebetween, an intermediate surface supported above and parallel to said planar bottom surface, and having a width dimension greater than the predetermined width dimension of the gap, and interior walls joining facing edges of said first and second segments to said intermediate surface, said intermediate surface and said interior walls defining a containment channel;(b) at least one extender member of a predetermined length and shaped to fit endwise into said containment channel and to be slidable therein, and(c) at least one stop member mounted in the at least one extender member, the stop member including a pivotal stop plate movable from a position coplanar with the top surface of the base member to a position perpendicular to the top surface.
