Apparatus for supporting an object which includes at least two leg members attached to and capable of folding under an object-supporting surface. The leg members are pivotally attached to the object-supporting surface at pivot axes offset from one another relative to the object-supporting surface so that the leg members may fold under the object-supporting surface without interfering with one another. The apparatus includes diagonal supports, attached from the leg members to the object-supporting surface, which are designed to fold with the leg members. The apparatus may also include side rails defining the object-supporting surface. The side rails are configured to releasably attach to a specially configured base portion on an object such as a miter saw.

A collapsible stand, comprising: an object supporting portion having opposed ends and including an object-supporting surface for supporting an object; first and second leg members; a first pivotal connecting member for pivotally connecting said first leg member to an end of said object supporting portion to thereby define a first pivot axis, said first leg member pivotable about said first pivot axis between a folded position wherein said first leg member is substantially parallel with and adjacent to said object-supporting surface, and an unfolded position wherein said first leg member extends outwardly from said object-supporting portion; a second pivotal connecting member for pivotally connecting said second leg member to said another end of said object-supporting portion to thereby define a second pivot axis, said second leg member pivotable about said second pivot axis between a folded position wherein said second leg member is substantially parallel with and adjacent to said first leg member when said first leg member is in its said folded position, and an unfolded position wherein said second leg member extends outwardly from said object-supporting portion, said second pivot axis disposed at a greater distance from said object-supporting surface than said first pivot axis, said first leg member disposed intermediate said object-supporting surface and said second leg member when said leg members are in their said folded positions; and at least first and second diagonal support members for maintaining said leg members in their said unfolded positions, said first diagonal support member connected at a first end to said first leg member and at a second end to said object-supporting portion, said second diagonal support member connected at a first end to said second leg member and at a second end to said object-supporting portion, said diagonal support members comprising first and second articulating members and being configured so as to collapse when said leg members are pivoted from their said folded position to their said unfolded position; said first and second articulating members of said second diagonal support member being connected at a pivot axis offset from longitudinal axes of either of said articulating members to thereby provide an area between said first and second articulating members of said second diagonal support member when said second leg member is in its said folded position, said first leg member being disposed within said area when said leg members are in their said folded positions.
