Abstract:
A stop system for a platform (1) which is movable horizontally from a centred position within a supporting frame (3, 4, 5, 6) to project to one side or the other of the frame, the frame carrying latches (14, 15) which co-operate with first and second pairs of stops on the sides of the platform, the first pair (7, 8) providing abutments (11) adjacent opposite ends of the platform facing outwardly of the frame against which the respective latches engage when the platform is centred and having ramps (12) facing inwardly of the frame to engage and temporarily lift the latches on return of the platform to the centred position, and the second pair (13, 14) being disposed to engage the respective latches (15, 16) when the platform is moved outwardly of the frame and thereby limit the outward travel of the platform.
