TRESTLE

Trestle comprising a support adjustable in vertical direction in a stand and legs attached to the stand. Known trestles of this type comprise legs, which are welded on the stand and, therefore, are bulky and difficult to store and to take along. In order to overcome this disadvantage, according to the invention a trestle is proposed, the legs (6) of which are pivotally attached to the stand (1) so as from a folded-out position, in which they support the trestle in operative position, to be pivoted to a folded-in position, in which the legs (6) substantially are in parallel with the support (3) or stand (1), and a locking ring (10) is provided to lock the legs (6) against unintentional folding-in movement when the trestle is in operative position. Un trepied comprend un support reglable dans le sens vertical sur une colonne et des pieds assujettis a la colonne. Les trepieds connus de ce type comprennent des pieds qui sont soudes sur la colonne et, par consequent, sont encombrants et difficiles a emmagasiner et a transporter. De maniere a resoudre ce probleme, le trepied propose possede des pieds (6) qui sont relies de maniere pivotante a la colonne (1) de maniere a pouvoir, a partir d'une position depliee dans laquelle ils supportent le trepied en position de travail, pivoter vers une position repliee dans laquelle ils (6) sont sensiblement paralleles au support (3) ou a la colonne (1), et une bague de verrouillage (10) est prevue pour bloquer les pieds (6) et les empecher de se replier accidentellement lorsque le trepied se trouve en position de travail.
