The elastic holding pieces are fixed to the lower surface of the top plate constituent member located on both side ends of the top plate, and have a columnar projection erected in the center, and a projection insertion hole into which the columnar projection is engaged. The flattening bar is perforated.

Further, a projection is formed on the top plate, and an insertion hole into which the projection is inserted is formed in the plane maintaining bar, and a relative position between the top plate and the plane maintaining bar is formed by engagement of the projection with the insertion hole. It is characterized in that deviation is prevented.

[0010] Further, the second leg member is rotatably supported by the plane maintaining bar so as to be rotatable.

Further, the first leg member is composed of four rod-shaped leg members, and each leg member is connected by a link and is foldable.

Further, an arc-shaped elastic holding piece larger than a semicircle capable of elastically expanding and contracting to receive the flattening bar is attached to an upper end of each of the leg members of the first leg member. Is characterized in that a columnar projection is erected at the center of the flat surface, and a projection insertion hole into which the columnar projection is engaged is bored in the plane maintaining bar.

Further, the elastic holding piece and the columnar projection are made of independent members integrally formed of synthetic resin.
