Abstract
Stability is imparted to vertically stored sheets by positioning guiding members imparting to such sheets an observable curve involving an arc height which is about 1% to about 100% of its radius of curvature.
Claims10
[Independent] In a device suitable for the storage of a plurality of vertically aligned sheets of material said storage device having a floor, endwalls, side-walls, the improvement which consists of positioning at least one guiding member so that it imparts to each sheet an observable curve having the effect of stabilizing the vertical alignment of such sheets.
[Independent] A portable marketing device consisting essentially of:
- a plurality of lockable casters;
- a storage zone supported upon and moveable with such casters;
- a floor, sidewalls, endwalls, and a cover in said storage zone;
- a plurality of vertical slotted bins in said storage zone for the vertical storage of saggable sheets;
- curved partitions between the slots, such partitions serving as guiding members imparting an observable curve to the vertically aligned sheets instead of a straight line between the outside edges of a sheet, the height of the arc of such curve being from about 1% to about 100% of the radius of curvature of the arc, whereby the sheets can rest upon the floor of said storage zone without troublesome sagging, and whereby the withdrawn sheets can be satisfactorily flattened.
[Independent] The method of stabilizing the vertical storage of thin sheets which consists of employing guiding members to impart to such sheets an observable lateral curve between the lateral vertical edges of the sheets.
