Abstract
A sheet support bridging a pair of parallel longitudinally extending and transversely spaced guides has a stack of substantially identical and transversely extending support elements having transversely opposite ends slidable along the guides and a flexible connecting strand engaging all of the elements such that when stressed longitudinally the elements separate longitudinally from one another at a generally uniform spacing.

In combination with a pair of parallel longitudinally extending and transversely spaced guides, a sheet support comprising:
- a stack of substantially identical and transversely extending support elements having transversely opposite ends slidable along the guides;
- and
- a flexible connecting strand engaging all of the elements such that when stressed longitudinally the elements separate longitudinally from one another at a generally uniform spacing.
In combination with a pair of parallel longitudinally extending and transversely spaced guides, a sheet support comprising:
- a row of substantially identical and transversely extending support plates having transversely opposite ends slidable along the guides and each formed with two spaced holes;
- and
- a flexible connecting strand passing generally sinusoidally through one of the holes of each of the elements such that when stressed longitudinally the elements separate longitudinally from one another at a generally uniform spacing.
