Abstract

Cette invention concerne une structure de plateau composite (1) destinée à contenir des articles (A). Le plateau composite est formé d'une première partie structurelle (2) constituant un élément de plateau de base pourvu de parois (14, 18) servant à protéger et à retenir le contenu du plateau, et d'une deuxième partie de renfort (4) coopérant avec ladite première partie de façon qu'elle recouvre une partie substantielle de la surface intérieure de ladite première partie. La structure de plateau composite peut passer d'une première configuration dans laquelle la première partie augmente la protection du contenu du plateau assurée par la première partie à une seconde configuration dans laquelle les parois de l'élément de plateau de base prennent une forme multicouche améliorée qui renforce encore l'élément de plateau de base.
