Abstract
Two support legs mutually coupled to have a common pivoting motion between a supporting position and a rest or idle position are mounted in a pivot block or head mountable behind the drive sprocket bearing of a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a bicycle or moped. In the rest or idle position, both support legs are substantially horizontal and in the supporting position both support legs are substantially upright and spread apart from one another. In order to reduce the construction height of the pivot block or head and not diminish the ground clearance of the two-wheeled vehicle, both support legs are arranged on the side of the vehicle opposite the drive sprocket when they are in the rest or idle position. An arrangement is provided to force one support leg away from the other support leg as both support legs are pivoted into the supporting position.
