Abstract
A hinged strut construction has a pair of elongate, rigid strut members and a hinge structure connecting adjoining ends of the members to each other. A slide device releasably locks the strut members in an aligned, extended position.

A collar that is movable on one strut member connects with the locking pin to effect the movement of the pin.
