Abstract
The invention comprises a basic frame for a holder for products, comprising of a first beam, fitted with at least a first support, to support the first beam on a basis, a second beam fitted with at least a second support, to support the second beam on the basis, and with the first beam linked at variable distances by at least a spacer, for the parallel positioning of the beams mainly distanced from each other at least in an unfolded position of the basic frame, as well as an arm stretched out in the direction of the second beam for a third support, linked to the first beam, for the support of the basic frame on the basis at a distance of at least a collapsed state of the basic frame from the first beam.
Claims21
A lower frame for a container for products, comprising:
- a first beam, provided with at least a first support for supporting the first beam on a basis;
- a second beam, provided with at least a second support for supporting the second beam on the basis, wherein the first beam is connected to the first beam by at least one spacer to enable substantial parallel positioning of the beams spaced apart in varying mutual distances in the collapsed state of the lower frame;
- an arm for a third support linked with the first beam, mainly extending in the direction of the second beam to support the basic frame on the basis on a distance from the first beam in a folded state of the basic frame,
- wherein the arm is shorter than the distance between the first and the second beam in the unfolded state.
A method for transporting collapsible holders or containers, comprising the steps of:
- lifting of several similar holders or containers in a collapsed state;
- and
- applying a temporary coupling between the holders or containers using the prongs of a forklift truck.
