• the device (1) being characterized in that it further comprises means for locking (5) of the assembly position of the two blades (2), each of the locking means being able to be made integral and able to be reversibly locked to the ends (21) of the two blades (2) forming one end longitudinal (210) of the surface, each of said locking means being rigid and able to be made integral with one of said ends by a pivot movement from the other end, forming a pivot point, once the latter is secured said locking means.
• Asperities or cavities can be added at the level of the grip zones in order to improve the grip. These asperities or cavities can be made from the same material, or from another material, for example non-slip such as rubber.
• longitudinal ends of the blades is understood to mean areas at the end of the blades which may include several different elements, such as for example a coupling (3), a projecting member (51) on which can be locked a hoop (5), and a fixing means (9), said different elements possibly being distinct, and preferably being so.
• the same element can fulfill several characteristics described above.
