ABSTRACT:
A folding bench for supporting objects is described. The folding bench comprises a platform with two legs attached to the platform. Each leg comprises a cross member comprising a locating pin and a pin receiver. A first support is attached to the cross member and a second support is attached to the cross member opposite to the first support. The first support and the second support diverge. A bracket attaches each leg to the platform. The bracket comprises a cap wherein the cross member is contained between the cap and the platform. The cap further comprises a locating slot positioned to receive the locating pin wherein the locating pin and the locating slot work in concert to prohibit the legs from moving sideways. A locking mechanism is secured to the cap and reversibly engagable with the pin receiver to prohibit the legs from rotation.
