The support pad 10 is preferably mounted to the upper portion 3A via a support member 4A,B attached to the upper portion. The pad 10 can be pivotally mounted to the support member by a reversible ratchet mechanism 13. The support member 4A,B may offer telescopic height adjustment. The different portions of the frame may be folded against one another such that the support pad lies adjacent or within the frame.
