Definitions

  • the document US-A-3 850 476 discloses a slab having the features of the preamble of claim 1. But the top surface of this slab is strait vertical, when the slab is not in use, and rotates in a different direction.
  • a slab e.g. a wooden bench with fittings which, when the bench is not in use, allows it to fold down into a mainly vertical position, with its top surface slightly pointing downwards, so that it is sheltered from rain, dirt, etc.
  • Such a slab is defined by the features of the characterising portion of claim 1.
  • the slab (1) is made of heavier material in front of the pivoting point (2). As a consequence the slab folds down into a vertical position when there is not pressure on it, its top surface slightly pointing downwards so as to be protected from rain, dirt etc.
  • the fittings on the slab (3) and on the side supports (4) pivot on a peg, up to a stabilising point, on which the slab rests, when the slab is used.
  • the fittings (3 and 4) are shaped to fit different kinds of side supports (6), made of e.g. wood, iron, concrete, stone or tree logs, and with an arrangement for the adjustment of distance and angle.
  • fittings or side supports can be supplemented with a bar to temporarily secure the horizontal position.
