A folding leg is pivotally connected to the base plate by a linkage arrangement that includes a first link pivotally connecting the folding leg to the base to define first and second axes of rotation and a second link pivotally connecting the folding leg to the base to define third and fourth axes of rotation. The second link includes a transverse section, and a latch is secured to the base plate for releasably engaging the transverse section when the folding leg is in the extended position. The first link also includes a transverse section or recess for engaging the latch to hold the folding leg in the folded position.
