As you can see I'm not sure what it may be called 
I have a custom (home built) trailer. The top opens as do most off road trailers. It has maxlift support shocks which do help open and keep up.
However, I currently place a broom handle in it to brace open and prevent dropping closed on me
I am looking for some sort of locking open device as a safety feature. It's hard to explain but something like locking a folding table leg in position.
Anyone know what I'm talking about and have a source?
EDITED TO ADD: I realize I can use a kind of rod that pivots like on the hood of my Jeep but did not want to "Ghetto" it too much
