In set position, its eight base pipes have in plan square or rectangle with side pipe ends led out beyond corners. Base pipe corners are connected and put onto shafts in lower parts of doubled pivotal faceplates. Base pipes mid portions are also connected with their ends to pivotal faceplates so as to form longitudinally axial tube. Plane of development of pipes at opposite face sides of base is extending horizontally. Plane of development of opposite side pipes of cross-piece base is arranged in plane defined by pipes of base and pairs of legs above these pipes, and their axes of development are perpendicular to legs which are put onto their common shafts in upper part of doubled pivotal faceplates in base corners. Legs have shaped retaining windows in their apical rounded plates. Cross-piece tips and pins put into slots on shafts protrude through said windows and are fixed at the outside by means of nuts and led out from vertical longitudinal slots.
