4. Centre hoop stabilisation:

Serves the purpose of stabilising
the folding bellows and aligns
the centre hoop with the bisecting line of the angle.
5. Roof coverings:
Protect and cover the energy
guiding system in the roof
sections.

6. Energy guidance in the side

sections: Cables and spiral
tubing are optimally directed
thanks to a suspension attachment on the centre hoop.
7. Floor coverings:
The lower, side articulation section is covered with a variable
floor covering.

8. Handrails:
Handrails for the centre hoop
are available in a variety of different designs.

12. Energy guidance in the
