Abstract
A collapsible supporting structure (eg the framework of a stroller) comprises a central mounting body (15) having rotatable disc (41). In the supporting arrangement (depicted) front leg (20) extends from the front surface of disc (41) and rear legs (18-19) extend rearwardly from the rear surface of disc (41). When folding the structure for transportation, rotation of disc (41) by approximately 180 .degree. brings all three legs (18-20) into an upwardly splayed position. Individual pivoting of legs (18-20) will then bring them into approximate coextension with arms (35-36). Disc (41) in use is locked against rotation, however twisting of a lock on top of body (15) allows pivotal convergence of arms (35-36). The movement of arms (35-36) presses on captive balls that in turn displace radial plungers so they lie within the periphery of disc (41), allowing its rotation.
