Transport and displaying chest

Technical field

The present invention relates to the chest for transporting goods, it is allowed to will present to by freight in chest Consumer, and allow consumer to be readily available goods in chest.

Background technology

Multiple product transports in open-topped chest.Such as, in beverage industry known various not With boxed-section shape for (such as, so-called from the fractional pack producing retail transport carafe or carafe " half-dozen dress ").In retail, chest is generally stacked, thus only can obtain product from top, And thus the whole chests of the product in the chest at the lower position in being in stacking Can be obtained in the case of being removed.This is extremely inconvenient, and wastes time and energy.

It will therefore be advantageous to provide a kind of chest, it is possible to more effectively and be easily achieved in The product of transport in this chest.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, some embodiments of the present invention include base plate or bottom with at least two to the most relative Sidewall, wherein the first side wall is designed so that it allows product of being contained in chest of removal.For this Purpose, the first side wall in the vertical direction the most only extends one from base plate towards top and removes height Degree, this height removing aspect ratio remaining sidewall one or more is low.Remove and be highly determined, thus, From the first side wall limit a transverse opening, this transverse opening have permission by transverse opening obtain and Remove the size of the product being contained in chest.Chest is limited towards top by the first side wall region, The first side wall region extends (it can also be whole sidewall) from base plate towards top, at vertical direction On have and less remove height.This means at this first side wall overlying regions, at adjacent wall Between do not exist other press-fit connect.

In other words, what the first side wall was not higher than in peripheral side wall or peripheral side wall at least in part is several Individual, thus, when chest is stacked, chest can be entered from side, to realize being readily available at heap The folded product in the chest of bottom.

Thus, in some implementations, the height of the first side wall is also dimensioned so that transport in chest Defeated specific products can not drop out in transportation from chest.In some embodiments, it is desirable to Chest is for transporting bottles or the bottle that is prepackaged in parcel, and this is that the first side wall has and be enough to prevent The only reason of the height that single bottle drops out from chest.In certain embodiments, this height is at 1 li Rice is between 10 centimetres.In some other embodiments, this height be between 2 centimetres and 5 centimetres or Typically more than 2 centimetres.

In certain embodiments, the first side wall has two sides in its edge abutting against adjacent wall Wall part, each sidewall sections extends to the height of adjacent wall, to increase the stability of chest.

In further embodiment of the present invention, chest has four sidewalls, wherein, at least adjacent the The side-walls of one sidewall, arranges grip-openings.Grip-openings have be parallel to base plate extend region with And it is perpendicular to the region that base plate extends.In certain embodiments, region that base plate extends it is perpendicular to the The direction of one sidewall is arranged.Additionally, in certain embodiments, be roughly parallel to that base plate extends the One horizontal opening portions is transitioned into vertical opening part, and vertical opening part has radius, and this radius is big To enough grasping chest in this radius.Therefore, in those embodiments of the invention, it is possible to also exist Grasp chest in this radius or in vertical opening part, and lift chest, so that chest is being grabbed Tilt backwards when holding.This reduces article drop out in transportation probability, and such as bottle is by the The opening of one sidewall drops out from chest.

And, some according to the present invention are implemented, and chest is included in the baseplate zone of adjacent the first side wall In the average area in by transported product, other region with base plate compared with bigger Area of bearing.In other words, at base plate in order to save the former hence without being integrally formed of weight, but It is, such as, when being made up of single batten, it means that, the quantity of the batten of per unit area, That is, the density of batten, increases in the region of neighbouring the first side wall.This has following effect, i.e. draws Enter goods in chest, near sidewall, such as, there is carafe or the tank of big Area of bearing, with Contacts baseplate.This be possible to prevent bottle or beverage can to slide or be tilted between base plate batten recessed Fall into, thus avoid that tank or bottle are undesirable in transportation to be dropped out.

And, in certain embodiments, the sidewall of neighbouring the first side wall adjoins on the first side wall at them Side at aspect ratio height at the side opposed with the first side wall low.It is to say, opening On the direction of mouth, the sidewall being connected to opening is relatively low, thus, on the one hand, the space for removing increases Adding, on the other hand, the incident illumination or the visual angle that enter cabinet interior increase, in order to be more easily visible Freight in chest, such as bottle or the like.

In some other embodiments, remaining sidewall of the most corresponding the first side wall can be rolled over about base plate Folded, it is folded together or closed state so that can enter with chest, is being folded together or closed state In, other sidewall rests on base plate or above base plate with being roughly parallel to base plate.In this way, Chest can be transported with low cost and efficiently with empty state.

Some are implemented to be included in vertical direction and extend to the top of the first side wall and can be removed or folded The extra movable side wall region closed.This can have an advantage in that, movable side wall region is being turned up State additionally increases stability or safety, thus does not has goods or the product can be from chest In drop out.And, in turning up state or closed state, movable side wall region may be used for showing produces Product information etc..

In certain embodiments, movable side wall region realizes with mesh shape or is formed by multiple piston ring lands, By high pressure air blast cleaning box, and movable side wall region can need not to be separated from chest, or Person unexpected due to high pressure will not unclamp movable side wall region from chest.

And, in certain embodiments, other sidewall is applied in inner side or is laminated with thin film, thin Film comprises the product information that can easily see from outside.

In some other embodiments, it is provided that light color thin film, in order to can be by luminous reflectance in vision On preferably discover freight or bottle in chest.

In some other embodiments, its excess-three sidewall of the most corresponding relatively low wall has identical height Degree, so that chest can be stacked on the top of another chest, the base plate of one of them chest rests on On other three sidewalls of chest below.For this purpose it is proposed, in the upper end of base plate and other sidewall Can arrange special groove or profile, it connects with the corresponding recesses of other sidewall or profile with base plate Close, to allow stackable property and to guarantee firm attitude.

Some embodiments at the chest being suitable to storage or transport and displaying carafe or tank of the present invention In, base plate includes multiple pivots or the mandrel that in the vertical direction extends towards top from base plate.Mandrel Three-dimensional body, its be positioned on base plate and be shaped so that kept by the outside restriction face of mandrel or Fixing bottle, thus be effectively prevented bottle and drop out.In certain embodiments, mandrel is at vertical direction On only there is low height, therefore, mandrel is referred to as mandrel short column.The height of some mandrels and External shape is chosen, in order to they prevent dropping out by transverse opening together with the first side wall.For Also assuring that removal, in certain embodiments, mandrel is not higher than the first side wall in its highest position. In certain embodiments, the outside of mandrel limits the height that mask changes, to adapt to as well as possible Assigning of task.In order to allow bottle outwards tumble on the first side wall direction and still ensure that goods Stability, mandrel aspect ratio on the direction being parallel to sidewall is on the direction of the first side wall Height low, therefore, the inclination being parallel to the first side wall is possible, thus in the vertical direction Inclination is obstructed, and bottle is held stably.

Detailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 shows the embodiment of the chest 10 for beverage of the present invention.In the embodiment of display, Base plate 12 is not to be formed completely flatly, but is made up of fenestral fabric.As from the chest of Fig. 3 In bottom view visible, base plate 12 is formed by multiple piston ring lands or batten.Piston ring land or batten are positioned to Sufficiently close together so that transported goods (such as bottle) is entered piston ring land in the edge tilt of bottle Between hole in time, it is impossible to the base plate through chest falls or tumbles in an uncontrolled fashion.

Further, chest includes two couple extending (i.e. on vertical direction 18) from base plate 12 to top Respectively the most relative sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a, 16b.First in four sidewalls (at this example In be sidewall 16b) only with relatively low remove height 20 vertically 18 extend.

Remove the height 20 height less than remaining sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a, in order to form transverse opening, The bottle allowing to obtain or remove accommodated in chest by this transverse opening and transported or product.? Other structure of chest is not had above the first side wall 16b.And, the end of the embodiment shown in FIG On plate 12, it is provided with multiple mandrel, illustratively emphasizes mandrel 22a and 22b.It means that be used for moving Except the transverse opening of product is by the fact that produce: the first side wall 16b has than adjacent or other sidewalls Low height.Here, as in accompanying drawing subsequently, highly refer to the chi on positive vertical direction 18 Very little.Term " top " relates to the position on positive vertical direction 18, and " bottom " relates in vertically side There is on 18 the position of relatively low coordinate.Side is to limit on the direction on surface being parallel to base plate 12 Any direction of chest.

The first side wall 16b limits or is formed with transverse opening, it is allowed to obtains and removes and transports in chest Bottle.In other examples, it is of course possible to transport other products in chest.Fig. 1's In chest, it is also possible to transport so-called " half-dozen dress ", the most wrapped 6 bottles of bags.

In alternate embodiment (not showing at this), this sidewall does not have along its whole length The less height 20 that removes, but fixing sidewall sections extends into from adjacent sidewall 14a and 14b Entering transverse opening, wherein transverse opening still keeps sufficiently large, it is ensured that removing of product or bottle.This Chest can have the stability of increase.

In Fig. 1, the embodiment of the chest 10 of display farther includes movable side wall portion 23, movable side wall portion 23 can be rotatably mounted about fixing the first side wall 16b by hinge 24a to 24c.Fig. 1 shows The movable side wall portion 23 shown is in folded position, wherein movable side wall portion 23 about the first side wall 16b to Lower folding.In the following position being folded up that will illustrate based on several other embodiments, active side Wall portion 23 extends towards top on vertical direction 18.It is thereby also possible to increase safety so that case Bottle in son 10 is the most outwards tumbled.Additionally, movable part can be used for showing product information etc..

Each in sidewall 14a and 14b of adjacent the first side wall 16b include grip-openings 28a and 28b, can promote at grip-openings and carry chest.Thus, grip-openings includes being parallel to the end The first open area that plate extends and the second open area of substantially extending in vertical direction, below general The function of open area will be discussed in more detail with reference to Fig. 3.

Additionally, sidewall 14a and 14b of adjacent the first side wall 16b is in the direction of its sensing the first side wall End includes hypotenuse part 30a and 30b, even if be stacked on the top of another chest at a chest In the case of, light can also enter chest by hypotenuse part 30a and 30b.Therefore, shown in Fig. 1 Embodiment in, sidewall 14a with 14b adjoins the end of the first side wall 16b and has the end more relative than it Low height.Although it is apparent that in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the female of sidewall is substantially Triangle, but any other shaped depressions can be used for alternate embodiment.In certain embodiments, Sidewall 14a and 14b of adjacent the first side wall 16b increases to maximum height continuously in height.At some In embodiment, the most certainly can also increase step by step or by stages.

In Fig. 1, the chest of display is stackable, i.e. the profile quilt of the upper end of sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a Design makes its in stacking process (for example, see Fig. 3) engage the profile of the base plate of another chest Or structure so that chest can be with stacked on top.Additionally, the transverse opening limited by the first side wall 16b Even if allow when chest is stacked, also can from the inside of chest removal bottle or bottle packing (such as Half-dozen fills) chest.

In some embodiments of the invention, sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a in the face of inner side surface with Light color design, thus make for from the observer of external observation through the light that opening 30a and 30b is incident For, the bottle in chest is high-visible.In alternate embodiments, this surface mount has product to say Bright book or advertisement.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the present invention also includes that being positioned at least one sidewall (here shows In the case of, for sidewall 14b) on multiple piston ring land 32A to 32D, piston ring land extends in vertical direction And prominent towards inside from lateral side regions, this prevents the bottle being maintained in chest by mandrel whole with it Individual lateral side regions contact sidewall and pollution in wide area bottle side-wall.In the embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, groove Each in ridge 32a to 32d is arranged such that bottle is resisted against on lateral wall, the outermost layer of bottle Radius is positioned at the position of piston ring land 32a to 32d.This is possible to prevent most of region of inner surface of sidewall It is contaminated, because only piston ring land is contaminated.

Fig. 2 shows the embodiment of the chest 10 of the state equipped with 3 half-dozens dress of being in of Fig. 1.

Each in half-dozen dress 40a, 40b and 40c includes six single bottles, in order to clearly Reason, does not the most show described bottle.

Here, in addition to from the mandrel that following joint half-dozen fills, for half-dozen described in this joint purpose It is unlimited for being contained in bottom, and half-dozen dress is also kept by piston ring land 40a and 40b, as shown in FIG. 1, and groove Ridge 40a and 40b is arranged on the base plate 12 of chest 10.

Can as understood from the view of the Fig. 3 showing two chests 10 and 10a being in stacked on top state See, it is also possible in stacked state, from bottom chest 10, remove product or bottle.Certainly, at half-dozen When dress 40a, 40b and 40c replace single bottle transport in chest or show, this is also applied for half Beat dress 40a, 40b and 40c.As be clearly visible from Fig. 2 and 3, the spy of the chest of display in Fig. 1 Determine embodiment, in terms of by transported bottle, there is high degree of flexibility, because on the one hand can be by being somebody's turn to do Chest transports half-dozen dress, on the other hand can transport bottle one by one by this chest.This by In Fig. 1, mandrel 22a of diagram and the layout of 22b and piston ring land 42a and 42b produce.

Obviously, in the other embodiments of chest 10, different mandrels can be selected to arrange.Such as, In certain embodiments, can fully omit piston ring land, and the most only use mandrel.At figure In the embodiment of 1 display, the most likely, because in the space inserted between mandrel and/or piston ring land One each single bottle by the side wall support of piston ring land, supported by mandrel or by chest In the case of every kind of a support in sidewall 14a, 14b, 16a or 16b, bottle is all on four direction Middle supported, in order to keep bottle to be used for transporting with stationary mode.

As in figure 3 it can be seen that as, due to the stackable property of chest with by the first side wall 16b The selection laterally removed provided, it is now possible to provide in the chest of a hurdle stacked on top and be used for The different product sold.Here, sidewall 16b prevents bottle from chest together with mandrel in transportation Tumbling away in 10, therefore, the size of sidewall 16b is identified below: sidewall prevents bottle from transporting Journey is tumbled away from chest 10.Meanwhile, its holding is of a sufficiently low so that even if at another chest 10a also is able to take out from chest forward bottle when being positioned on the top of chest 10.For this purpose it is proposed, root According to some embodiments, first bottle can be somewhat increased, and then towards top rake.This is at some Embodiment is realized by the particular design of mandrel, be more fully described below with reference to Figure 12 that Sample.

Fig. 3 clearly illustrates the further feature of some embodiments of the present invention, i.e. grip-openings 28a Specific design with 28b.Grip-openings is bending and horizontally and vertically extends simultaneously.Change Sentence is talked about, and grip-openings 28a includes being parallel to the first open area 50a of base plate 12 extension and substantially existing The the second open area 50b extended on vertical direction 18.Vertically and horizontally open region inner, in Fig. 3 Restriction between territory simply exemplarily represents.Therefore, grip-openings 28a also in the vertical direction prolongs Stretch sizable degree, in order to grip-openings 28a can also be used in vertical opening region by people. In alternative embodiments of the invention, grip-openings 28a can certainly be formed as and show in figure 3 The embodiment shown is different.Such as, grip-openings can also have square or rectangular cross section, in order to Chest can from top by horizontal opening region 50a and from sidepiece by vertical opening region 50b two Person raises chest.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, vertical opening region is positioned at corresponding with the first side wall 16b Side, and have at the outline of relatively large radius (that is, at the profile in the direction pointing to the first side wall Place) it is transitioned into horizontal opening region 50a.Have the effect that, i.e. as the lift tank period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, Ke Yi Chest is grasped at radius, so that when vertical opening region is positioned at the side corresponding with the first side wall 16b, Chest tilts backwards in (on the direction of side walls 16a), thus prevent extraly carrying time bottle by Drop out in the inclination of chest.

In some embodiments of the invention, based on Fig. 4, (it illustrates the perspective of chest of Fig. 1 from bottom Figure) and based on Figure 11 (bottom view of its display an alternative embodiment of the invention), it is illustrated that base plate 12 concrete structures abutted against in the region 50 on the first side wall 16b increase stability the most extraly.

In some embodiments of the invention, base plate 12 is not to be formed completely flatly, but passes through cloth Put rib to be formed, be used for saving weight and for simplifying cleaning.Rib covers the surface of base plate 12, Thus the bottom of each bottle rests on base plate 12 securely.In the region 50 of leading edge, i.e. adjacent In the region 50 of the first side wall 16b, compared with remaining region, the quantity of rib or area density Increase, thus the bottle being positioned at there can not be by self outwards tumbling, even if at bottle due to outside Impact and on the direction of the first side wall 16b when the resting position of bottle is slightly slanted.This can lead to Cross the rib in the region 50 of adjacent the first side wall 16b to be positioned to so close to and make the limit of bottle Edge can not tilt to avoid between the gap between two consecutive web.In other words, adjacent the In the region 50 of one sidewall 16b, base plate 12 includes the stayed surface for bottle, and it is more than being arranged on Average supporting zone on every flat unit base plate, so that bottle can be firmly held.

As from Fig. 4 further it can be seen that as, base plate 12 is at adjacent sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a Region at include by several ribs form prominent, this prominent profile is formed so that should Prominent when being placed on another chest, this highlights at another chest described in the interior side engagement of sidewall The profile of sidewall, to guarantee stacking ability and the firm attitude in stacked state.

Additionally, the base plate of chest place therebetween includes that batten 52, batten 52 extend to from sidewall 16a The first side wall 16b, and the piston ring land of batten 52 extends in vertical direction than other piston ring land of base plate Many.In order to increase the stability of chest, this batten 52 is used for first that bearing height extraly is relatively low Sidewall 16b.Batten 52 is arranged in centre so that the batten more downwardly extended than remaining base plate does not hinders From relatively low chest, bottle is removed in stacked state.

Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention, and it is different from the enforcement discussed based on foregoing figures Substantially it is in place of example, the bottle of other sizes can be transported by the embodiment of display in Fig. 5.Although In Fig. 1, the embodiment of display is suitable to the bottle with 0.5 liter of capacity, but the reality of the chest of display in Fig. 5 Execute the bottle that example is suitable to have 0.33 liter of capacity.Therefore, the mandrel of the embodiment of Fig. 5 is arranged and side The thickness of wall 14a, 14b and 16b is substantially different from the embodiment of Fig. 1, sidewall 14a, 14b and 16b Thickness have changed by, thus keep the bottle being arranged in chest with the same external volume of chest Son.It is therefoie, for example, in Fig. 5 display chest include near the first side wall 16b five mandrels 54a, 54b, 54c, 54d and 54e, to keep the bottle of whole six the 0.33 liter of capacity in the first row.This Outward, the chest of Fig. 5 only includes the piston ring land run through 56 being positioned at the center of chest, thus replaceable Ground can transport 4 half-dozen dresses with this chest.

And, contrary with the embodiment of Fig. 1 to 4, the embodiment display chest of Fig. 5 has in the first side The chest in the movable side wall region 23 being folded up at wall 16b.Additionally, due to other of the chest of Fig. 5 Architectural feature is corresponding to the architectural feature of Fig. 1 and is respectively provided with identical function, therefore omit corresponding to Again the discussion of the parts of the chest of Fig. 1.Additionally, it shall be mentioned that with in Fig. 1 display chest similar, The chest shown in Fig. 5 is included at least one at the sidewall 16a relative with the first side wall 16b and opens Mouthful, at least one opening described is extended by sidewall 16a, in order to chest can be incited somebody to action by described opening Chest is fixed or is suspended on wall or shelf or the like.

In order to increase the safety of installation, in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, each in the embodiment of display includes Second the most extra installing hole 60.

In Fig. 6, the embodiment of display is also configured as transporting each 24 bottles with 0.33 liter of capacity Son, and it is largely corresponding to the embodiment shown in Fig. 5.But, in the 5 embodiment of figure 5, sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a or sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a at least some of by means of hinge about base plate with Collapsible mode is arranged.Thus, sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a or sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a are at least A part can fold in the way of being folded on the direction of base plate, and basic in closed state On be parallel to the surface of base plate 12, see the Fig. 7 view for sidewall 16a, sidewall 16a is in overlapping The surface of base plate 12 it is parallel under state.Fig. 8 shows whole sidewall 14a, the 14b being in closed state And 16a, thus in the state being folded together, chest can easily be transported back brewery or Person's perfusion unit, and portion takies more space.This can significantly decrease cost of transportation.

Although, based on Fig. 6 to 8, folding sidewall 14a, 14b and 16a are simply displayed as quilt Being configured to transport the chest of 24 bottles of each 0.33 liter, it is apparent that ground, in Fig. 1, display is used for The chest of 0.5 litre bottle can also be provided with folding sidewall.Typically, for illustrate at this All embodiments are suitable for, and describe based on single embodiment or the feature of display can be with any side Formula combination with one another, to obtain the interchangeable other embodiments of the chest of the present invention.

Fig. 9 illustrates the embodiment being in loading condition of Fig. 5, wherein has 24 bottles in chest.

Equally, as in Figure 5, movable side wall region 23 is in folded position, with solid extraly The most front-seat fixed bottle, or in order to the Product labelling being used for transport is attached to flexible part 23, for On the unessential lateral surface of displaying of goods.

Figure 10 shows the embodiment of Fig. 5, has interchangeable loading form, i.e. has four half-dozen dresses 70a, 70b, 70c and 70d.

Finally, Figure 11 shows the top view of the embodiment of Fig. 5, wherein it is apparent that in order to allow half-dozen The insertion of dress, mandrel 54c has the geometry different from mandrel 54a, 54b and 54d or 54e. But, in alternative embodiments, central axle 54c can have and remaining mandrel (example naturally Such as, mandrel 54c) identical shape.Equally, arbitrarily other mandrels can also have the shape of mandrel 54c Shape.

As in the top view of Figure 11 it can be seen that as, equally for the case for 24 carafe The situation of son, base plate 12 is also designed in the region 50 of adjacent the first side wall 16 to be had than the whole end The supporting zone that the average supporting zone of plate is bigger, to avoid bottle to tumble out undesirably from chest Go.

Figure 12 shows the amplification diagram of mandrel 54a to 54c, thus its concrete shape becomes visible, mandrel 54a to 54c is combined with the first side wall 16b, it is allowed to bottle was both firmly held, again can be from front Removal.This point to be accomplished, it is non-constant on vertical direction 18 that some embodiments of mandrel have height Outer surface.Hereinafter, shadow region 70, i.e. (it is being orthogonal to the complete of vertical direction 18 at sidepiece On direction, portion) limit the surface of mandrel or surface cell, it will accordingly be understood that for the outside limit of mandrel 54a Determine face.

As already described above, outside restriction face 70 has the height of change.Thus, and prevent The second side surface area 76 that bottle tilts on the direction 74 be parallel to the first side wall 16b compares, Mandrel is being parallel to the first side wall 16b extension and is preventing bottle from (referring to away from the first side wall 16b backwards To direction 72 on) the first side surface area 75 of tilting has less height.

In mandrel 54a shown in fig. 12, mandrel 54a has almost diamond cross section, diamond-shaped cross-section The direction of the first side wall 16b is pointed on one summit, prevents sweptback function by the first restriction surface Region 75 realizes, and first limits region, surface 75 substantially on the direction being parallel to the first side wall 16b Terminate mandrel.Prevent in the second restriction region, surface 76 of direction upper limit centration axis 54b of the first side wall 16b Only bottle is parallel to the first side wall 16b.

First side surface area 75 is less than the second side surface area 76, to allow at the bottle that turns forward Time, reach bottle may bump against another chest at the top that is stacked on chest bottle need not be raised Bottle is tilted in the case of the degree of base plate.

But, second limits region, surface 76 prevents the side being parallel to the first side wall 16b to be inclined upwardly, And therefore can be higher, to increase stability.Generally, due to mandrel 54a and 54b and mandrel 54c has the height less than on the direction be perpendicular to sidewall on the direction be parallel to sidewall, therefore Mandrel 54a and 54b and mandrel 54c realize maximum stable while allowing at the same time to turn forward Property.

Additionally, the mandrel in Figure 12 is provided with the outside local surfaces that limits, the outside local surfaces that limits exists Bending to inner side between the summit of the basic configuration of almost diamond in a concave manner, wherein bending radius is big Cause the diameter corresponding to bottle, can more stably keep bottle.

Although mainly discussing with beverage chest for background above, but other embodiments of the invention are worked as So can also be used for other kinds of product.For example, it is possible to transport beverage can with the chest of the present invention and appoint What his cylindrical object, such as hairspray, air aromatic agent aerosol can etc..Additionally, tool The chest having transverse opening also is able to for completely different type product, and these products may also be distinct from that Cylindrical basic shape.Described chest is common to the most possible product, because described chest also allows for From chest, product is moved laterally out in stacked state.This big advantage is not limited to transport goods The type of thing.
