The lever, which terminates lu it cam. is pivoted lietween the plates of the casing and bears against the edge of tlic plate to width, the legs are at tached. When the lever is pulled down ward the tendency Is to thrust the legs outward, but as these are braced against the post the result is that the casing, and with it the plank, is drawu away from the ost.
