(GB2327194-A)      The running instrument includes a base for holding the instrument on a fixture surface, and a frame with an endless band which is positioned between opposite, parallel frame elements. The frame is mounted revolving at the base to enable a movement between a first position, in which the band is essentially horizontal for an operation through an user, and a second position, in which the band is essentially vertical for a storage of the running instrument. An electro-mechanical lift arrangement is provided, which connects the frame and the base, to move the frame between the first and second position. The instrument includes preferably an activation arrangement for electronically activating the lift arrangement to position the frame between the first and the second position. A locking rod with a corresponding release arrangement is preferably provided for securing the frame in the second position.    ADVANTAGE -   Does not require manual folding of instrument through user.
