Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to openable and closable storage units of the type described in the preamble to the attached Claim 1.
  • one storage space is intended for rolled-up information-carrying sheets or equivalent and the second space is intended for folded-up stand parts.
  • the height of the storage units is thus designed to exceed slightly the height of said sheets or alternatively of said stand parts.
  • Storage units for collapsible and fold-out complete display units consisting of one or more stand parts and one or more information-carrying sheets or screens, are previously known in a large number of embodiments.
  • One such known storage unit for collapsible display units is the applicant's own older product marketed under the name NW ALL-IN-ONE BOX which has a rectangular openable top covering two storage spaces, one essentially circle-cylindrical and one essentially square-column-shaped.
  • NW ALL-IN-ONE BOX which has a rectangular openable top covering two storage spaces, one essentially circle-cylindrical and one essentially square-column-shaped.
  • the shapes of the lateral outside walls correspond to these storage spaces; i.e. a square-column part merged at one side to a circle-cylindrical part.
  • the storage unit is to be designed with dimensions adapted so as to be capable of storing such a folded-up display unit as is offered for sale under the trademark NETWORK ® by Maxibit AB, Sweden.
  • one of said part circular units and an adjacent unit are constituted by an integrated part.
  • one of said arcuate units and an adjacent unit are formed via a recess in one of said wall sections.
  • the display unit 2 consists of one or more stand parts, illustrated in Figure 1 as three stand sections 2a, 2b and 2c and one or more information-carrying sheets attached to the stand sections, illustrated in the exemplary embodiment as three information-carrying sheets divided into two 3a, 3d; 3b, 3e and 3c, 3f.
  • the display unit 2 also has rounded edge parts 2e, 2f in this case.
  • the information-carrying sheets 3a, 3d; 3b, 3e and 3c, 3f can be attached in a known manner to a folded-out stand unit 2 and consist of a suitable material so that the sheets can be rolled up.
  • the storage unit 1 can, as Figure 1 shows, serve as a podium or the like when it is not being used as a storage unit or transport box.
  • the storage unit 1 is shown in a completely closed position in two different perspective views.
  • This storage unit 1 can be considered to consist of a wall part 10 which encloses the unit and first (upper,) 11 and second (lower) 12 end-wall parts which interact and/or are integrated with this wall part, said wall part 10 being arranged to, in cross-section, form a cross-sectional area "A" following or in any case essentially following one or both said end-wall parts 11, 12.
  • Said wall part 10 can be seen as consisting of two opposite semi-cylindrical wall sections 10a, 10a' interconnected by two plane wall sections 10b, 10b'.
  • One storage space 5 is given a circular or in any case essentially circular cross-section 5A by means of part-circular units 7, 7' formed in said plane wall sections 10b, 10b' or applied thereto, or inwardly directed projections.
  • the second storage space 6 is given a semi-circular or in any case essentially semi-circular cross-section 6A by means of units 8, 8' formed in or next to said plane wall sections 10b, 10b' or attached thereto, or inwardly directed projections.
  • One of said arcuate units 7, 7' and an adjacent unit 8, 8' can be constituted by an integrated part 78 and one of said part-circular units and an adjacent unit are formed as a projection at a recess 20 in one of said wall sections 10b'.
  • Each of the units 7, 8 can be applied and attached as a part to the inner surface of the wall part 10b' or integrated with the storage unit during manufacture.
  • the embodiment according to the present invention indicates that three units are located vertically one above another in the wall part 10b', and three corresponding units are located one above another in the wall part 10b, and for each unit 78 there is a recess 20, 20a and 20b in the wall part 10b'.
  • the recess 20 is arranged so as to extend across said plane wall part 10b'.
  • the recesses 20, 20a and 20b have a height which together occupies 30-70% of the total height of the storage unit, which may be 80-110 cm, preferably around 100 cm.
  • the exemplary embodiment illustrates that the recesses 20 and 20b have a greater height than the recess 20a, the height of the recess 20 exceeding the height of the recess 20a by 10-50%, preferably 30%.
  • the distance between adjacent recesses can be 20-40% of the height of the recess 20, preferably 30%.
  • the scope of the invention also includes of course the use of more or fewer units with or without a recess 20 and, as Figures 2 and 3 show, with greater or smaller vertical extent and, since the units are identical or essentially identical, the following description will include only the unit which is located in the recess 20.
  • the horizontal extent of the recess 20 could be slightly smaller than shown.
  • the upper or first end-wall part 11 is formed with an upwardly facing peripheral edge 13 for forming a hollow 11', and at the same time it is shown that the upper end-wall part it can have a delimited space 40.
  • the end-wall part 11 constitutes a lid with a lower edge 13' adapted to interact with the upper part of the wall part 10.
  • the hollow 11' is dimensioned so as to have shallow depth and 30 is adapted to be capable of receiving a plane block 30.
  • the inner space 40 is delimited by a lid 40' which advantageously can be attached to the plane side parts of the end-wall part via a hinge (not shown) 41.
  • the circular cross-section 5A of the space 5 is selected with a radius of curvature which is appropriate for one or more rolled-up picture lengths 3a ... 3f and these form a further inner centrally delimited storage space 5' which is appropriate for rolled-up end parts 2e, 2f.
  • Opposite units 78, 78' are dimensioned so as to form an opening between said two storage spaces 5 and 6, with the opening given the reference number 9.
  • Said units 78, 78' can be dimensioned so that opposite edges 10 are arranged at a distance from one another, say 10 to 20 cm, preferably about 15 cm.
  • the lower of said end-wall parts 12 is provided with wheels 14, 14'.
  • one of the semi-circular wall sections is to be provided with a carrying handle 15.
  • a handle 16 next to the edge 13 is intended to form a handgrip and with this the storage unit 1 can be rolled via the wheels 14, 14' along a surface 17.
  • the semi-circular space 6 is adapted so as to be capable of storing magnetic strips, shelf planes and shelf constructions, in addition to folded-up stands.
  • the circular space 5 can accommodate a lacquered aluminium lid 30 and as a lining a decor panel 31 with magnetic tape at both short ends.
  • This decor panel 31 is adapted so as to be capable of surrounding the transport unit 1 and covering the wall sections 10a, 10b, 10a', 10b' between the edges 51 and 52 by magnetic-strip interaction along the short ends.
  • the lacquered plate lid 30 is located in the hollow 11 inside the border or the peripheral edge 13.
