Abstract
A supporting or stabilizing device, especially for a moving vehicle, in which at least one rod is provided mounted on a support frame, such as the underneath side of a counter top, with the rod being movable axially from an idle position wherein it is disposed substantially entirely within, or beneath, the support frame to an extended position wherein it extends outwardly frm the support frame. When the rod is extended outwardly from the support frame, it serves as a supporting or stabilizing member for an individual positioned in front of the support frame. The rod may be associated with a second like rod spaced from the first rod so that when both rods are extended, an individual can take a position between the rods and be supported or stabilized thereby. The rod, or rods, are slidable in support brackets and a retaining device is provided for retaining each rod in axially adjusted positions in the supporting brackets.
