Wherein the moving mechanism (3) has a clearance (4) between the foot elevated position and the foot lowered position, and a spring (8) urges the mechanism (3) against the elevated position, whereby an alarm switch (9) is activated to give an automatic indication in case the stability of the construction is reduced.
