Embodiment Construction

[0007]In accordance with the present invention a deployable and erectable watchtower (DEWT) is provided. The folded watchtower is translocated by haulage by means of a suitable vehicle and deployed by implementing several simple actions performed while still on the vehicle. When the watchtower is in a functional state, the carrying vehicle Is free to move away from the site of deployment.

[0008]In an example of a watchtower in accordance with the present invention, as can be seen in FIG. 1 to which reference is now made, the DEWT incorporates prominent features described next. Four sideways foldable support legs (SLs) 20 (only three shown) are all pivotally connected to base frame 24 of the DEWT. The folding pivot facilitates folding of the legs 20 between a contracted position and a deployed position around axis 26. The contracted position allows haulage on a vehicle traveling on roads or off road, with legs contracted, adjacent base frame 24. Erectable unit 42 establishes an uprigh...
