Whenclosed the flexible parts lie loosely in a hollow space to whichair has access so that when folded they are removed from theeffects of the weather and can easily dry. It will be seen that the only parts of this type of connectionw-hich are subject to wear are the flexible connections betweenthe metal frames while in the folding bellows extension allparts of the device receive practically the same amount of wear. -^^^^F—^M ^1
