Abstract

L'une des coutumes de la fête juive de Souccot (également connue sous le nom de fête des Cabanes) consiste à agiter ce que l'on appelle les "quatre espèces" (une branche de palmier, trois branches de saule, deux branches de myrte et un cédrat). La branche de palmier, les branches de saule et les branches de myrte sont liées ensemble pour former ce que nous appellerons ici le « loulav ». L'invention concerne un système permettant de stocker un ensemble constitué des quatre espèces. Ledit système comporte un premier réceptacle pouvant accueillir un loulav, un second réceptacle pouvant accueillir un cédrat et un ou plusieurs dispositifs permettant d'assembler de façon réversible les premier et second réceptacles en un bloc unique. Le système peut tenir debout tout seul sur une surface avec le premier réceptacle en position verticale lorsque le premier et le second réceptacle sont assemblés en un bloc unique.
