Zusammenfassung:A collapsible stage (1) is provided which has a first planar wing (3), a second planar wing (5) and an intermediate planar section (7). The respectiv e wings (3 to 5) are hinged to respective sides of the intermediate section (7 ) so they can both swing upwardly from a plane where they are co-planar with the intermediate section where they collectively form an open stage (1), to a collapsed position where both wings (3 to 5) are generally parallel to one another and extend upright. The intermediate section (7) has ground engaging means (17) to permit rolling or sliding movement of the collapsed stage. A first pair of retractable legs (11) are connected with an underside of the first wing (3) adjacent one side of said intermediate section (7), and a second pa ir of retractable legs (13) are connected with an underside of the second wing (5) and the other side of said intermediate section (7). These legs (11 and 13) are guided by guide means (21) attached to the intermediate section (7) so that feet means on those legs will be below the ground engaging means (17) when the wings (3 and 5) are swung so they are substantially co-planar with the intermediate section (7), and will be above the ground engaging means (17) when the wings (3 and 5) are swung upwardly to the collapsed position. The outermost endsof the wings (3 and 5) each have further leg means (35) swingably connected thereto which can be swung from a collapsed position where they extend substantially parallel to the planes of the respective win gs (3 and 5) to erect positions where they are substantially perpendicular to t he planes of the wings (3 and 5).
