  • the total thickness of the foldable body 100 only slightly exceeds the thickness of the side panels 10, 20 and double thickness of the bendable shelf 50. While the body is being folded, the bendable shelves 50 are not removed from the interior of the foldable body 100, which greatly facilitates folding and unfolding of the foldable stand.
  • Figs. 7 and 8 show a manner of folding a body 115 with bendable shelves 125, which, when folded, hide in cavities 117 of side panels110, 120, thanks to which the flat, cuboid package resulting from the folding of the foldable stand has smaller thickness than the package shown in Figs. 5 and 6 .
  • the shelves 125 While the stand is being folded, the shelves 125, whose parts rotate at the place of adhering of catches 126 situated at a level of a lower wall of bendable shelves, are bent upwards, and at the same time, a front panel 116 is bent inwards to the foldable body, and a back panel 135 outwards of the foldable body, according to arrows 103 shown in Fig. 7 .
  • the thickness of the foldable body shown in Fig. 8 is only slightly greater than the total thickness of the side panels.

  • Fig. 33 shows the bendable shelf 650 with the edge element which is bendable along two bending lines, along which hinges 656 are formed. It should be noted here that there can be any number of the bending lines, and at the same time hinges, and the number results from the visual rather than design reasons.
  • Fig. 34 shows bendable shelf 750 of a foldable stand not according to the invention with the edge element, which has the shape of a spatial body consisting of many layers of bendable material.
  • the bendable shelf 750 comprises two parts 753, 755, joined by means of the hinge 756, formed along the bending line of the lower wall 784, which divides the lower wall 784 into two component parts.
  • layers of bendable material 781, 782, 783 are stuck.
  • layers 791, 792, 793 are stuck.
  • the layers 781, 782, 783 glued together and layers of bendable material 791, 792, 793 also glued together form separate bearing or supporting elements with the inner bearing or supporting surfaces 761, 762.
  • the inner supporting surfaces 761, 762 located opposite each other of the two adjacent component parts of the lower wall 784, contact and act on each other after stretching the bendable shelf preventing the bendable shelf 750 from bending with the convexity downwards. From two opposite sides 757 of the bendable shelf 750 catches 751 with wings 758 and stabilizing elements 759 protrude, which additionally stabilize the inserting of the shelf in the side panels of the foldable stand.
  • the front wall 752 and the back wall 754 of the bendable shelf 750 can be covered by paper.

  • the bendable shelves 450 with the edge element in this embodiment have a smaller width as measured from the front of the bendable shelf to the back wall of the bendable shelf, than the width of the side panels of the foldable stand, thanks to which the fronts of the bendable shelves 450 are moved backwards in relation to the front plane of the stand and cooled air flowing down from the bendable shelves joins into a front stream of air, which is shown in Fig. 39 .
  • a cooling system whose cooled air chamber, formed between the inner part of the back panel and the outer part of the back panel, which is at a distance from the inner part, has the inlet, situated above the outlet 603 of the stream of cooled air generated by the cooling device, and outlets formed in the inner part of the back panel of the foldable stand and connecting the chamber formed between the inner part and outer part of the back panel with the inner part of the foldable stand located above the bendable shelves 450, from which the stream of air flows to the inlet 602 of the cooling device after descending from the bendable shelves, whose front surfaces are moved backwards in relation to the surface in which the front panel of the foldable stand is situated.
  • the cooling cycle consists in the fact that the front stream 621 of the air after forming, flows into the front top opening 602 of the cooling device, is cooled in the cooling device, and by means of the back top outlet 603 is directed to the space formed between the inner element of the back panel and the outer element of the back panel, from which by means of openings in the inner element of the back panel it gets between the bendable shelves 450 cooling the products placed on them.
  • the circulation of the cooling air in the set 600 is shown in Fig. 39 by means of small arrows 610 drawn with the dashed line.
  • the stream of air which cools the cooling device is shown by means of big arrows 620.
  • the stream of air which absorbs the heat from the cooling device gets inside the cooling device through the opening 601 in the side panel of the foldable stand and gets out through the opening at the back, emitting to the environment the heat intercepted inside the foldable stand.
