Abstract:

A connector (12) for use in assembling a sawhorse (6). The sawhorse has an elongate cross member (11) mid four elongate leg members (13) joined together using two connectors. Each connector is manufactured from a tubular center sleeve (7) having a bottom wall and defining an interior passage having a longitudinal axis. The interior passage receives an end of the cross member. The connector also includes first and second tubular leg sockets (8). Each socket defines an interior passage having a longitudinal axis. The first and second sockets are secured in opposing angular disposition to the center sleeve, so that the longitudinal axes of the first and second sockets are disposed radially relative to the longitudinal axis of the center sleeve. Each of the first and second sockets receives an end of one of first and second leg members. The received ends of the first and second leg members bear against the bottom wall of the center sleeve.
