    (54) Support


    (57) A support (1) comprises one or more support legs (2) pivotally connected to a first member (4) and one or more link members (6), each link member being pivotally connected adjacent one end (7) thereof to a support leg and adjacent the other end (9) thereof to a second member (8). The first member (4) is slidably located within the second member (8) so that the support legs (2) are movable between a first position in which the legs (2) extend from the first member (4) and the support can rest on the ground in a supporting disposition and a second position in which the legs (2) are disposed adjacent the first member (4). Movement of the legs (2) from the first to the second position is obtained by lifting the support from the ground. Movement of the legs from the second position to the first position is obtained by moving the second member (8) relative to the first member (4) towards the pivotal connections (3) of the legs (2) with the first member (4).
