  • Patent number: 5673854
    Abstract: A bottomless, rectangular, elongated box type housing has a center section, a first outer section, and a second outer section. The center section is attached to a first section of the first outer section and a first section of the second outer section by hinges, which permit the first outer section and the second outer section to rotate rearwardly in a horizontal plane. A pin passes through apertures in gussets on the center section and the first section, thereby securing the first outer section in a forwardly extended position. Likewise, a pin passes through apertures in gussets on the center section and the second outer section, thereby holding the second outer section in a forwardly extended position. A hinge permits a second section of the first outer section to pivot vertically relative to the first section of the first outer section. Likewise, a hinge permits a second section of the second outer section to pivot vertically relative to the first section of the second outer section.
