An adjustable sawhorse for contemporaneously adjusting both the height and angle of inclination of the support member. The sawhorse utilizes a disk-jaw slip clutch composed of a shaft carrying a pair of inner and outer disks in slideable and rotational relationship. The shaft extends through a transverse cavity in the support member and the support member is interposed intermediately of the disks. A plurality of radially extending jaws extend from the transverse cavity openings in the support member sidewall surfaces for engagement with corresponding radially extending jaws on the inner disks\engagement surface with the support member. Similarly, the outer disks have radially extending jaws which couple with like constructed jaws on the engagement faces of the outer disks. By exertion of a lateral compressive force, the disks and support member may be releasably locked in fixed rotational relationship. A first truss leg extends radially from the inner disks and a second truss leg extends radially from the outer disks to stabilize the sawhorse.

An adjustable trestle for supporting a workpiece comprising: a) a support member having an axis of elongation and a transverse cavity extending laterally therethrough; b) a shaft carried by said support member and extending at least in part through said cavity; c) a pair of outer disks slideably and rotationally mounted to said shaft where said support member is interposed between said outer disks; d) a pair of inner disks slideably and rotationally mounted to said shaft adjacent said outer disks and interposed between said outer disks and said support member respectively; e) a first truss member captively carried by said inner disks and extending radially therefrom such that the angular relationship between said first truss member and said axis of elongation may be selectively varied by rotation of said inner disks with respect to said shaft; f) a second truss member captively carried by said outer disks and extending radially therefrom such that the angular relationship between said second truss member and said axis of elongation may be selectively varied by rotation of said outer disks with respect to said shaft; g) clutch means responsive to lateral compression associated with said support member and said outer and said inner disks for selectively and releasably locking said support member and said outer and inner disks in fixed rotational relationship.
