Abstract
The invention relates to a rack for supporting cask-type containers. The rack comprises a plurality of modular structures each suitable for receiving a single container, each modular structure presenting a back vertical mean plane and a substantially parallel front vertical mean plane, and having top fixing points, bottom fixing points, and support means close to said bottom fixing points, said support means being substantially contained in a horizontal plane so as to support a container. The modular structures are connected to one another via their fixing points on a horizontal axis and on a vertical axis so that each upper modular structure straddles two lower modular structures.
Claims12
A rack for supporting cask-type containers presenting respective longitudinal axes, the rack comprising:
- a plurality of modular structures, wherein each of said plurality of modular structures has a back vertical mean plane and a substantially parallel front vertical mean plane, and each of said plurality of modular structures further comprising a plurality of top fixing points at said back vertical mean plane and a plurality of top fixing points at said front vertical mean plane, a plurality of bottom fixing points at said back vertical mean plane and a plurality of bottom fixing points at said front vertical mean plane, and support means close to said plurality of bottom fixing points or said front and back vertical mean planes, wherein said support means lying substantially in a horizontal plane so as to support a container having a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to said front and back vertical mean planes;
- and
- wherein said plurality of front vertical mean plane bottom fixing points of one of said plurality of modular structures being secured to said front vertical mean plane top fixing points of another one of said plurality of modular structures, and back vertical mean plane bottom fixing points of one of said plurality of modular structures being secured to back vertical mean plane top fixing points of another one of said plurality of modular structures, thereby interconnecting the modular structures to create said rack.
A rack for supporting cask-type containers presenting respective longitudinal axes, the rack comprising:
- a plurality of modular structures, wherein each of said plurality of modular structures has a back vertical mean plane and a substantially parallel front vertical mean plane, and each of said plurality of modular structures further comprising a plurality of top fixing points at said back vertical mean plane and a plurality of top fixing points at said front vertical mean plane, a plurality of bottom fixing points at said back vertical mean plane and a plurality of bottom fixing points at said front vertical mean plane, and support means lying substantially in a horizontal plane so as to support a container having a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to said front and back vertical mean planes;
- and
- wherein said plurality of front vertical mean plane bottom fixing points of one of said plurality of modular structures being secured to said front vertical mean plane top fixing points of at least another one of said plurality of modular structures, and said plurality of back vertical mean plane bottom fixing points of one of said plurality of modular structures being secured to said plurality of back vertical mean plane top fixing points of at least another one of said plurality of modular structures, thereby interconnecting the modular structures to create said rack.
A rack for supporting cask-type containers presenting respective longitudinal axes, the rack comprising:
- a plurality of modular structures, wherein each of said plurality of modular structures has a back vertical mean plane and a substantially parallel front vertical mean plane, and each of said plurality of modular structures further comprising two top fixing points at said back vertical mean plane and two top fixing points at said front vertical mean plane, two bottom fixing points at said back vertical mean plane and two bottom fixing points at said front vertical mean plane, and support means lying substantially in a horizontal plane so as to support a container having a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to said front and back vertical mean planes;
- and
- wherein said two front vertical mean plane bottom fixing points of one of said plurality of modular structures being respectively secured to one of said two front vertical mean plane top fixing points of another first one of said plurality of modular structures and to one of said two front vertical mean plane top fixing points of another second one of said plurality of modular structures, and said two back vertical mean plane bottom fixing points of one of said plurality of modular structures being respectively secured to one of said two back vertical mean plane top fixing points of another first one of said plurality of modular structures and to one of said two back vertical mean plane top fixing points of another second one of said plurality of modular structures, thereby interconnecting the modular structures to create said rack.
