Patent ID: 8484925

Claim:
A lattice support structure having longitudinally extending supports ( 10 ) which are connected to one another by obliquely extending struts ( 20 ) and are also connected to one another in the state of the lattice support structure ready for operation by transversely extending struts ( 30 ) provided with a joint ( 32 ), with the struts ( 20 , 30 ) being pivotably connected to two respective preferably adjacent supports ( 10 ), with at least one connection strut ( 40 ) being provided which connects two supports ( 10 ) to one another which are not adjacent to one another and which are preferably disposed opposite one another, and with the at least one connection strut ( 40 ) and/or at least one component ( 50 ) of the lattice support structure connected thereto having fastening means or being connected or connectable thereto, with the fastening means being made such that they prevent a folding together of the lattice support structure in at least one position, wherein the fastening means include a first ( 62 ) and second fastening element ( 64 ), and the connection strut ( 40 ) is connected to the first fastening element ( 62 ), with first and second levers ( 50 ) each being pivotally connected to the at least one connection strut ( 40 ), said first and second levers ( 50 ) also being pivotally connected to the second fastening element ( 64 ), and with the fastening elements ( 62 , 64 ) being arranged such that they can be connected to one another.
