The present invention concerns an apparatus for storing and transporting piece goods, at least comprising a bottom portion (1), side or frame portions (2, 3) arranged thereon and a plurality of substantially flexible pockets (4, 5, 14) which can be received on the bottom portion (1) and/or between the frame portions (2, 3). In order to provide an apparatus having the above-specified features in which either the compartments or pockets or the apparatus overall can be collapsed or varied relatively simply, that is to say with a low level of technical complication and expenditure and involving a small amount of time and can be set up ready with the pockets again, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that the pockets overall or at least group-wise can be put into a closely collapsed or folded condition and in that condition can be put into the housing formed from the bottom portion and the side or frame portions or can be replaced by other pockets.
Apparatus for storing and transporting piece goods comprising a bottom, a frame arranged on the bottom and a plurality of flexible pockets which can be unfolded and can be attached in an unfolded configuration within the frame and which pockets can be collapsed into a folded configuration and stored in a housing formed from the bottom and the frame, wherein the frame is moveably connected to the bottom so that the frame can be moved and stored with the collapsed pockets and the bottom so that neither the pockets nor the frame extend beyond a base area of the bottom, and wherein two pivotable frame portions are pivotably connected to two oppositely disposed ends of the bottom portion, said pivotable frame portions being securable in a vertically upwardly pivoted position, said pivotably frame portions being rigidly connectable by horizontal bearing members.
