![]() ![]() It is a further object of this invention to provide leg brackets for a sawhorse wherein the pairs of legs, as well as the legs of each pair, diverge from top to bottom for maximum stability. It is a further object of this invention to provide leg brackets for a trestle that enable the use of lumber of various thicknesses to enable the user to select the relative overall strength and weight of the trestle. It is an object of this invention to provide brackets for a trestle, which enable the trestle to be collapsed to facilitate storage and transporting thereof. Moreover, such brackets are generally formed so that the two pairs of legs are disposed parallel to a vertical plane, and do not diverge with respect to each other, as is desirable for greater stability. However, a sawhorse, once assembled with such brackets, is not collapsible and not easily transported from place to place. There are available metal brackets to which lengths of standard lumber, such as 2×4's, may be secured to form a conventional sawhorse or trestle.
