The tab includes an aperture 54 to receive a peg 55 within the aperture. When the mast and the pivot support are connected, the tab is engaged in the slot and the peg and the pivot axis are disposed on opposite faces of the mast. The pivot support has a fixing device 4a, 4b securing the pivot support to the mast. Optionally the mast comprises a plate (see fig. 15).
