- These circular openings are arranged symmetrically so that their center forms the four corners of a square.
- the openings of the upper plate are arranged directly above the openings of the lower plate, when the plates are superimposed.
- a fifth opening is provided on the upper face of each of the plates 2 and 3, of rectangular shape elongated in the direction transverse to the front face 18/19.
- the rectangular elongated openings bear the respective references 34 and 35.
- On the lower plate 3, are provided at the longitudinal edges 36 and 37 of the elongated opening 35, flaps 38 and 39.
- the latter are mounted articulated by folding along edges 36 and 37, so as to allow, after placing a bottle, container, can, or the like, the maintenance and setting of the latter. The user can grasp said can, said container or bottle through the opening 34
- said bottle is shown with the reference 40.

- Said slots are arranged directly above the legs 60 to 63, and have shapes and dimensions suitable for allowing the legs to penetrate with friction.
- the method of assembling one of the lateral edges of one of the plates for example the upper plate 2, is described below. It is understood that in FIG. 6, the plate is represented by inverted position, that is to say that the upper face 16 is shown in the lower position for the convenience of reasoning and description of the mounting method. We find the rear face 24 and the front face 18.
- the lateral face 20 comprises a first flap 45 connected by a fold line 46 to the upper face 5, the first flap 45 itself being connected by a fold line 47 to a second flap 48.
- the length of the flaps 45 and 48 substantially corresponds to the length of the lateral face 20.
- the distal edge 49 of the second flap 48 has two lugs 50 and 51 respectively, of generally quadrangular shape and projecting relative to the distal edge 49.
- the front 18 and rear 24 faces are extended, at the side face 20, by two lugs 52 and 53 respectively, connected by a line of respective folding 54 and 55 on the rear face 24 and the front face 18.
- the lugs 52 and 53 are of quadrangular shape and of length less than the length of the lateral face 20.
- Notches or slots 56 and 57, of quadrangular shape, are provided on the upper face 16 and of complementary shape to the legs 50 and 51 provided on the second flap 48.
- the legs 52 and 53 associated with the respective rear 25 and front 18 faces are folded down, so as to arrange them in the plane of the lateral face 20.
- the flaps 45 and 48 are folded so that the flap 45 bears against the flaps 52 and 53, then the rotation movement of the second flap 48 is continued along the fold line 47, until the second flap 48 is folded against the flaps 52 and 53, on their face facing the interior of the stage; the lugs 50 and 51 are then introduced into the slots 56 and 57.
- FIGS. 6 have not shown the openings or holes 26 to 29 intended to receive the dishes, plates, containers or the like.
- the scales and proportions were not voluntarily respected to facilitate clarity and understanding of the drawing.
