Claims16
An apparatus for supporting and transporting first and second adjacent substantially vertical columns of stacked folded tables, each column including a plurality of folded tables;
- said apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- a central spine having a height and defining two opposing, substantially vertical, substantially coparallel, table edge support surfaces extending continuously along the majority of said height of said central spine;
- and
- first and second inclined folded table lower support means for supporting a lowermost table in each of corresponding first and second columns of folded tables, said first and second folded table lower support means and said central spine being configured such that said first and second columns of folded tables can be stacked in substantially vertical columns on opposing sides of said central spine to a height at least half that of said central spine, with the inside edges of said plurality of tables in each of said two columns of tables being in contact with and provided with at least partial side support by a corresponding one of said two vertical table edge support surfaces of said central spine.
An apparatus for supporting and transporting first and second adjacent columns of stacked folded tables, each column including at least two folded tables;
- said apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- a central spine having a height and defining two opposing, substantially vertical, substantially parallel, table edge support surfaces extending continuously along the majority of said height of said central spine;
- and
- first and second inclined folded table support means each defining corresponding first and second inclined support surfaces for supporting a lowermost table in each of corresponding first and second columns of folded tables, said first and second folded table lower support means and said central spine being configured such that said first and second columns of folded tables can be stacked on opposing sides of said central spine to a height at least half that of said central spine, with the inside edges of said plurality of tables in each column being in contact with and provided with at least partial side support by said central spine.
