Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1331301A1] On the main grid (3), support leg (2) or hinged joint (6), guides and holders (5) are provided for the extension grid (4). The guides are used when the extension grid is swung out for use, and back again. A peg on the leg and hinged joint, supports the extension when opened-out for use. A stop prevents excessive rotation beyond the position of use.
