An apparatus comprising:

• first and second legs pivotable with respect one another about a pivot axis between a first position wherein said first and second legs are substantially aligned with respect to one another and a second position wherein said first and second legs are transverse with respect to one another, wherein each of said first and second legs defines a substantially rectangular frame including a frame member and a bail fixedly associated with one another and defining an aperture;
• first and second incurvate portions defined by each of said first and second legs and spaced from said pivot axis and from each other wherein said first and second incurvate portions are defined by said frame member;
• and
• first and second excurvate portions defined by each of said first and second legs and substantially coplanar with said first and second incurvate portions of said respective leg and spaced from said pivot axis and from each other wherein said first and second excurvate portions are defined at an intersection of said frame member and said bail.
