- the bottom surface;
- and
- a left rear stanchion that extends down from the bottom surface and that is positioned in such a manner that no left rear stanchion will make contact with any left front stanchion when the left front folding piece is folded toward the left rear folding piece;
- a left front folding piece, comprising
- a left front outer perimetric surface that extends from an outer anterior apex to an outer posterior apex;
- a left front posterior surface that extends from the outer posterior apex to an inner posterior apex;
- a left front inner perimetric surface that extends from an inner anterior apex to the inner posterior apex;
- an open left front surface that extends from the outer anterior apex to the inner anterior apex;
- a top sitting surface;
- a bottom surface;
- a left front stanchion protruding downward from the bottom surface of the left front folding piece;
- and
- a raised pivot support protruding downward from the bottom surface of the left front folding piece that is at least the longer of the distance that the tallest left front stanchion protrudes from the bottom surface of the left front folding piece;
- circumferentially arranged around a central aperture wherein
- the right front folding piece is joined to the right rear folding piece by a hinge connection means, said hinge connection means comprising a pivot such as a hinge pin, a living hinge, or a barrel hinge;
- the right rear folding piece is joined to the left and right rear connecting piece by a hinge connection means, said hinge connection means comprising a pivot such as a hinge pin, a living hinge, or a barrel hinge;
- the left rear folding piece is joined to the left and right rear connecting piece by a hinge connection means, said hinge connection means comprising a pivot such as a hinge pin, a living hinge, or a barrel hinge;
- and
- the left and right rear connecting piece is joined to the left front folding piece by a hinge connection means, said hinge connection means comprising a pivot such as a hinge pin, a living hinge, or a barrel hinge.
