A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A foldable seat or platform 10, for use on an inclined surface, preferably a roof, having a base 12, a flap 20 engaged with the base, preferably via hinge 21, a support 26, preferably hingedly connected to the flap and engageable between the flap and base to support the flap at a angle relative to the plane of the base, so that the flap is horizontal in use. The base may be a frame having side member 14,16 and cross members 18,19. The angle may be adjustable over a discrete range via engagement of the support with detents 31,31,32 located on each side member. The detents may me recesses or slots (130,131,132, Fig. 9). The seat may be folded flat when not in use so that the flap and support lie in the same plane as the base. The base may have attachment hooks (36, Figs. 2,5) for attachment to the exposed battens of a roof during construction.
