Two of the parallel sides of the sheet are connected to rigid and mobile vertical tabs ( ) in an affixed position on a tension unit of the sheet. The other two parallel sides of the sheet, orthogonal to the former ones, are extended with flexible walls ( ), orthogonal to the sheet. Bead folds ( ) separate the perforated sheet and each of the flaps and delimit the sheet. The flaps freely rotate around the folds. The invention also has an operational device consisting of arm ( ) with several jointed strands outfitted with a sole means of locking ( ) its joints. The stencil may be configured and moved in accordance with 6 degrees of freedom.
