Definitions
- Figure 4b illustrates the same structure as Figure 4a, except that the extension rod has been turned 90° relative to the device shown in Figure 4a. Further, the frame member engaging member 56 has been placed in releasable engagement with the receiving means 52. As illustrated in figure 4b the frame member engaging member 56 consists of a body portion 62 and a protruding portion 64 on the under side of the body portion 62. In use, the protruding portion 64 sits within a trough 66 located in the receiving means 52, the two members are then engaged via the locking member 60 which in this case is a screw which passes through the groove in the frame member engaging member and fastens to the extension rod within the trough 66.
