A stand, for example for displaying a china plate, is formed by two stand parts 10, 11 which are interengaged so as to be relatively foldable together to lie flat or to be opened out to support a plate. Each stand part has a rear, upright support portion 12, a forward support leg 14 at 90 DEG thereto and a rearward stabilising leg 20 also at 90 DEG to the upright support portion. The stabilising leg is joined to the upright support portion through a hinge half 25, 26 which halves are engaged one on the other with a central pivot 35, 38 formed thereby. A similar upper hinge 23 is also provided between the stand parts. Locking means (39 Figure 5) automatically releasably lock the stand parts in their relatively fully unfolded position and stop means (42) prevents unfolding beyond a maximum predetermined angle. <IMAGE> |
