Claims8
A storage assembly comprising a first substantially parallelepipedal storage rack and a second substantially parallelepipedal storage rack,
- the first rack comprising a first lower face intended to bear on a support surface, a first upper face parallel to the first lower face, a first right longitudinal face and a first left longitudinal face which connect a first front transverse face and a first rear transverse face, the first rack defining a plurality of first storage compartments superposed along a first stacking direction extending between the first lower face and the first upper face, the plurality of first storage compartments being accessible from the first left longitudinal face and from the first right longitudinal face, the first storage compartments being separated from each other along the first stacking direction by a first minimum distance;
- the second rack comprising a second lower face intended to bear on a support surface, a second upper face parallel to the second lower face, a second right longitudinal face and a second left longitudinal face which connect a second front transverse face and a second rear transverse face, the second rack defining a plurality of second storage compartments superposed along a second stacking direction extending between the second lower face and the second upper face, the second storage compartments being accessible from the second left longitudinal face and from the second right longitudinal face, the second storage compartments being separated from each other along the first stacking direction by a second minimum distance;
- the first front transverse face and the second rear transverse face facing each other while being separated by a non-zero distance and being connected to each other by at least one horizontal bracing structure,
- the horizontal bracing structure comprising a first bracing element extending in a first plane comprising the first right longitudinal face or the first left longitudinal face and/or the second right longitudinal face or the second left longitudinal face,
- the first bracing element extending from the first upper face and/or the second upper face to a first predetermined distance from the first lower face and/or the second lower face,
- the first predetermined distance being between 1 and 2 times the first minimum distance or the second minimum distance,
- wherein the first bracing element comprises a first mesh.
