Abstract: A keyboard musical instrument comprises a keyboard having a plurality of playing keys, a fallboard pivotably supported at its rear end for covering the keyboard when the instrument is not in use and exposing the keyboard when the instrument is in use, and a rear top board. An accommodation space is provided between the keyboard and the rear top board and is adapted for receiving the fallboard which turns through 180 degrees to wide open the space from above the keyboard through above the rear top board. Thus, while the instrument is in use, the fallboard will obstruct neither the player's view nor the sound propagation from the loudspeakers, and further the fallboard will help in supporting the music sheets.

Abstract: A tail extension (1) adpated to be pivotally attached (2) to a load carrying container (3). Tail (1) pivots between a first position substantially outwards from a floor of the container, and a second position upwardly inclined realtive to said floor. Tail (1) may be formed as one or a plurality of sections which move individually or cooperatively. Tail (1) may be pivotally connected (2) adjacent the floor of container (3) by a hinge allowing free movement and/or may be displaced by a drive means (e.g. hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic). By tail (1) being able to pivot when contracting the ground, tail (1) and container (3) are not going to be subjected to undue forces which may damage tail (1) or container (3). When being transported, tail (1) acts as an extension to improve the load carrying capacity of the container by extending outwardly, or, can be displaced upwardly by a drive means to form a rear wall on the container.
