A COLLAPSIBLE STAGE OR LIKE STRUCTURE

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 respective 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 devices (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 the intermediate section (7), and a second pair of retractable legs (13) are connected with an underside of the second wing (5) and the other side of the intermediate section (7). These legs (11 and 13) are guided by guide devices (21) attached to the intermediate section (7) so that feet on those legs will be below the ground engaging devices (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 devices (17) when the wings (3 and 5) are swung upwardly to the collapsed position. The outermost ends of the wings (3 and 5) each have further legs (35) swingably connected thereto which can be swung from a collapsed position where they extend substantially parallel to the planes of the respective wings (3 and 5) to erect positions where they are substantially perpendicular to the planes of the wings (3 and 5).
