[0001] The subject of the invention is a foldable stand and a set of a foldable stand and
a cooling device, formed, in case of the foldable stand, from foldable material, such
as cardboard, corrugated cardboard, paper and sheets of plastic.
[0002] The availability and relatively low price of foldable materials, such as cardboard,
corrugated cardboard and paper, makes them more and more often used as material for
products facilitating transport, storage and display. The latter include trays, pallets,
displaying devices and particularly stands and their elements.
[0003] First of all, bearing in mind the fact that cardboard is recyclable and suitable
for placing inscriptions and pictures, the stands and their elements can be used as
information carriers, particularly after placing advertisement and commercial information
on them. When the information or advertising becomes outdated, for example after the
end of trade fairs or end of sales period of particular products, the cardboard from
which the displays are formed, particularly stands, can easily be removed and recycled.
Hence, products made of cardboard are environmentally friendly, have a simple construction
and are relatively cheap.
[0004] Secondly, products made of foldable materials, such as cardboard, can be folded,
easily carried as folded and assembled again, having been used in one place.
[0005] From the
publication DE 3906936 A1, entitled
"Shelf system capable of being assembled from blanks of foldable material, such as
in particular corrugated cardboard, cardboard or the like, which can be folded up
to form structural elements of the shelf system" is known a system with shelves which can comprise elements formed from foldable material,
in particular corrugated cardboard. The said system comprises vertical supporting
columns between which shelves are placed. In order to assure adequate stiffness for
the system with shelves, vertical supporting columns are made as empty inside, closed
profiles made of sheets whose endings are folded inside the profile. Similarly, the
shelves are empty profiles with cuts on both sides which include the margins of the
sheets folded inwards, from which the vertical supporting columns are made.
[0006] Then, from the publication
AU 1507083 A entitled
"Foldable cardboard display stand" a display stand made of foldable paper material is known. It comprises a base, a
back panel and side panels, and at least one shelf placed between the panels. The
shelf has hinged mounting and it can move from an operative horizontal position to
an upright assembled position.
[0007] Additionally, in the
publication EP 1459650 A1 entitled
"Shelf made of foldable material such as cardboard" is described a shelf made of foldable material, which may be placed between two vertical
stands. The stands have openings in which wings of the shelves are placed, thanks
to which the shelves are maintained in a specified position.
[0008] The publication
WO 2011078826 A1 entitled
"Foldable product display stand" features a foldable, easily-assembled display stand installed from elements made
of paper, corrugated cardboard and plastic, used for displaying various products in
shops, supermarkets and workshops.
[0009] Then, the
publication US 2005279906 A1 entitled
"Foldable and self-erecting display stand and easel"describes a foldable and unfoldable display stand, which at the back has a
large area of carton which is folded along vertical lines. Between the back panel
and side panels are distended tensile cords, which are stretched when the display
is folded, and which provide for automatic unfolding of the display stand.
[0010] In addition, the publication of European Patent Application
EP 1 099 398 A1 titled
"Display with shelves" describes a display, which substantially is made of plate-shaped display material.
The display at least consists of two side panels and shelves provided in between.
Each shelf consists at least of two parts which can be folded in respect to each other
in such a manner that at least the whole unit formed by the aforementioned side panels
and the shelves can be unfolded, collapsed, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the publication of German Utility Model Application
DE 200 18 744 U1 titled
"Verkaufsaufsteller" teaches a display made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or similar materials with
at least two spaced apart side walls arranged as a carrier and shelves fixed pivoted
to the side walls.
[0012] Furthermore, the publication of German Utility Model Application
DE 20 2010 011841 U1 titled
"Selbstentfaltendes Tray und regalförmiges, selbstentfaltendes Display auf Basis der
Trays" teaches a foldable display with at least one tray with a bottom with two hinged thereto
side walls in the form of aligned perpendicular to the bottom and parallel to each
other, and at least a respective tuck for securing the display which is hinged to
the two other sides of the bottom.
[0013] From the publication of European Patent Application
EP 0 976 348 A1 titled
"Disposable refrigerated display" a refrigerated display is known. This refrigerated display comprises an air cooling
unit mounted on a base pallet and a display box. The display box consists essentially
of cardboard and comprises at least an inner backside panel and an outer backside
panel spaced apart from each other to form an inter-wall space. The air cooling unit
comprises a ventilator able to blow chilled air emerging from the cooling unit into
the inter-wall space.
[0014] The solutions described above are usually multi-element ones and are of complicated
shapes while their folding and unfolding is time-consuming.
[0015] The aim of this invention is to create a stand with a simple design, whose construction
would be simple, and whose dimensions would be small after folding, which would facilitate
carrying it from one place to another.
[0016] With respect to a foldable stand, this task has been solved by the unit of the foldable
stand and the cooling device and their mutual arrangement with features of claim 1,
whereas in relation to a set of a foldable stand and a cooling device, this task has
been solved by the features of claim 13.
[0017] The subject of this invention is a foldable stand formed of foldable material comprising
panels and at least one shelf having shape of a spatial body, whereas at least one
of a front panel and a back panel of the foldable stand are foldable. Between side
panels of the foldable stand, according to the invention, at least one bendable and
foldable shelf is inserted with catches protruding beyond sides of the bendable shelf
and hooked in openings of the side panels of the foldable stand. While the bendable
and foldable shelf, which after stretching forms a stiff non-removable spacer between
the side panels of the foldable stand, has a lower wall, which is bendable along at
least one bending line. Each bending line of the lower wall divides the lower wall
into component elements, each of which has bearing elements with internal bearing
surfaces, and the internal bearing surfaces, placed opposite each other, of two neighbouring
supporting elements attached to the lower wall contact and act on each other after
stretching the bendable and foldable shelf preventing the bendable and foldable shelf
from bending with a convexity downwards. And each of the catches together with the
opening in the side panels of the stand creates a side hinge allowing for self-aligning
movement of the component element of the bendable and foldable shelf in relation to
the side panel of the foldable stand. The bendable and foldable shelf has two panels
which are empty inside and connected by a hinge formed along a bending line and at
the front of the bendable and foldable shelf is attached a tilting panel with a bending
and foldable line situated along the bending line of the bendable and foldable shelf
whereby the tilting panel comprises two parts, each of which has a hinged connection
with the bottom side by means of a lower element attached to a designated panel of
the bendable and foldable shelf and the tilting panel with an edge is hold up in the
vertical position by means of elastic elements formed from the tensible cord and pulled
through the openings and incisions in an inner part of the tilting panel and in the
walls of the bendable and foldable shelf and hooked on a central element formed by
'U'-shaped openings and the tilting panel protrudes above a top surface of a top wall
of the bendable and foldable shelf in a position when the bendable and foldable shelf
is stretched and spaces the side panels of the foldable stand and before folding the
bendable and foldable shelf, the tilting panel is tilted forwards in such a way that
its outer surface is in a plane of a lower surface of the bendable and foldable shelf.
[0018] Favourably, the bendable and foldable shelf of the foldable stand has a front wall,
a back wall and a top wall, and the bearing elements having the internal bearing surfaces
are formed on the front wall, the back wall and the top wall of the bendable and foldable
shelf separated in a plane running across through the bending line and situated at
an angle in relation to the lower wall of the bendable and foldable shelf.
[0019] Favourably, the front panel of the foldable stand is lower than the side panels of
the stand, and the bendable and foldable shelves are situated not lower than the top
edge of the front panel of the foldable stand.
[0020] Favourably, the back panel of the stand has connected each other an inner part and
an outer part, which is at a distance from the inner part, whose height is lower than
the height of the side panels of the foldable stand, and which has openings connecting
the inner space of the foldable stand with the space created between the inner part
and the outer part of the back panel.
[0021] In order to create an air space and stiffen the foldable stand, at its top, a top
inner element may be placed on which a top stiffening element is placed and a topper.
The outer and inner surfaces of the foldable stand may be used for placing advertisements
or information. Therefore, on the visible inner and outer surfaces of the side panels,
the front panel, the back panel, the bendable and foldable shelves as well as the
top stiffening element and the topper advertisements and information can be placed.
[0022] Favourably, the front wall and a part of the top wall of the bendable and foldable
shelf are formed from a strip of bendable material which is an extension of the lower
wall of the bendable and foldable shelf towards the front, whereas the back wall and
a part of the top wall of the bendable and foldable shelf are formed from a strip
of bendable material which is an extension of the lower wall of the bendable and foldable
shelf towards the back.
[0023] Favourably, the front wall, the top wall and the back wall of the bendable and foldable
shelf are formed from a strip of bendable material which is an extension of the lower
wall towards the front, or the back wall, the top wall and the front wall of the bendable
and foldable shelf are formed from a strip of bendable material which is an extension
of the lower wall towards the back.
[0024] Favourably, the bendable and foldable shelf comprises layers of bendable material
connected with the elements of the lower wall of the bendable and foldable shelf,
which are cut crosswise throughout their thickness, which form the bearing elements
with the internal bearing surfaces.
[0025] In order to stiffen the shelves and prevent the products placed on the bendable and
foldable shelves from sliding, a tilting panel is mounted to the front wall of the
bendable and foldable shelf. The tilting panel forms an element of the bendable and
foldable shelf, which protrudes above the top surface of the top wall of the bendable
and foldable shelf in a position when the shelf is stretched and spaces the side panels
of the stand.
[0026] From inside, in the side panels of the foldable stand, there can be additional openings,
and the bendable and foldable shelf can have stabilizing projections, which protrude
beyond the sides of the bendable and foldable shelf, and which are insertable into
the additional openings.
[0027] Favourably, in at least one side and/or central opening formed after folding a strip
of bending material, from which the bendable and foldable shelf is formed, a blocking
element is placed, with the letter 'C' shaped cross-section, whose central part forms
a side and/or central wall of the bendable and foldable shelf.
[0028] The idea of the invention relates also to the bendable and foldable shelf made from
bendable material on which a strip from textile material or bendable plastic is stuck
or adhered in the area of the bending line, along which a central hinge is formed
which allows bending of the bendable and foldable shelf.
[0029] The idea of the invention consists also in a set of a cooling device and a foldable
stand, where the foldable stand is made of bendable material, which with its lower
part is nestled on the cooling device and partly surrounds the cooling device, while
the stand has panels from which at least the back panel is foldable, and at least
one shelf has shape of a spatial body. The said set has 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 an inlet, situated
above an outlet of a 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 situated above the bendable and foldable shelves, from
which the stream of air flows to the inlet of the cooling device after descending
from the bendable and foldable shelves, whose front surfaces are moved backwards in
relation to the plane in which the front panel of the foldable stand is situated.
[0030] Favourably, in the lower area of the side panels and the back panel of the foldable
stand there can be ports or through openings which allow the flow of the stream of
air which cools the cooling device.

[0032] A foldable stand 1, whose the first variant, when disassembled, as shown in Fig.
1, comprises a left side panel 10, a right side panel 20, an inner element 30 of a
back panel, an outer element 40 of the back panel, foldable shelves 50, a front panel
60, which is sometimes called a base, a top inner element 70, a top stiffening element
80 with slots or longitudinal openings 81, and a topper 90 with projections 91, which
can be placed in the longitudinal openings 81 of the top stiffening element 80. The
left side panel 10, the right side panel 20, the inner element 30 of the back panel,
the outer element 40 of the back panel, the foldable shelves 50 and the front panel
60 form a foldable body 100 of the foldable stand 1 with the foldable shelves 50,
shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The left side panel 10 and the right side panel 20 have a
shape of cuboid with an inner chamber or space. Both side panels 10, 20 have on the
inner side, adjacent to the foldable shelves 50, openings 11 for the catches 51 of
the bendable shelves 50. Additionally, both side panels 10, 20 can have on the inner
side adjacent to the foldable shelves 50, stabilizing openings 12 for stabilizing
elements 52 of the bendable shelves 50. The number of openings 11 for the catches
51 of the bendable shelves 50 and the stabilizing openings 12 for the stabilizing
elements 52 can be larger than the number of the bendable shelves, and as a result
the foldable stand 1 is more universal as the user of the foldable stand can adjust
the distances between the bendable shelves 50 depending on the dimensions of the products
stored in the foldable stand.
[0033] In order to connect the side panels 10, 20 with the inner element 30 and the outer
element 40 of the back panel, and the front panel 60, the side panels 10, 20 have
slots or longitudinal openings 13 and catches 15 in the form of tongues, which are
situated in a back area of the side panels 10, 20 and longitudinal openings or slots
16, 26 situated in a front area of the side panels 10, 20. The inner element 30 of
the back panel has ports or openings 31 joining the chamber of the back panel with
the inner space of the foldable stand 1 and an outlet or protrusion 33 which is insertable
into the longitudinal opening 72 of the top inner element 70 with side laths 71. Additionally,
the inner element 30 has at least one bending line 32, which facilitates folding the
back panel. The outer element 40 of the back panel has at least one bending line 42,
slots or longitudinal openings 43 suitable for inserting the catches 15 of the side
panels 10, 20, and laps 44, which form laps on the side panels 10, 20, and ventilation
openings or openings 41 for gripping the body, and a back opening 45. Similarly, the
front panel 60 has protrusions or catches 61 and at least one bending line 62 facilitating
folding the foldable stand 1. Additionally, in a lower area of the side panels 10,
20 of the foldable stand, ventilation openings 14, 25 are provided, which enable the
flow of a stream of air.
[0034] During the assembly of the body 100 of the foldable stand 1, the side catches 34
situated on one side of the inner element 30 of the back panel, are inserted into
the vertical longitudinal openings 13 of the left side panel 10, and the same side
catches 34 situated on the other side of the inner element 30 of the back panel, are
inserted into the vertical longitudinal openings of the right side panel 20. The side
catches 34 have cavities, gaps or undercuts on the lower side, which hook on the left
side panel 10 and the right side panel 20 after moving the inner element 30 of the
back panel downwards. Subsequently, the tongue-shaped catches 15 of the left side
panel 10, and catches of the right side panel 20 are inserted in the vertical longitudinal
openings 43 of the outer element 40 of the back panel and wrap around the side fragments
of the outer side element 40, which results in a stable connection of the left side
panel 10 and right side panel 20 when the back panel is formed from the inner element
30 and the outer element 40. The next step is the assembly of the front panel 60,
whose side catches 61 with undercuts on the lower side are inserted in the vertical
longitudinal openings 16, 26 situated in the lower front part of the left side panel
10 and right side panel 20. The height of the front panel 60 is lower than the height
of the other panels and as a result the top fragment of the front of the foldable
stand 1 is open. The body 100 of the foldable stand 1, shown in the lower part of
Fig. 2, formed from the left side panel 10, the right side panel 20, the inner element
30 of the back panel, the outer element 40 of the back panel and the front panel 60,
has a cuboid or cubical shape open at the bottom and the top, and above the front
panel 60. Into the interior of the body 100 foldable shelves 50 are mounted with side
catches 51. Each of the foldable shelves 50, inserted between the side panels 10,
20 of the stand, is fastened in openings 11 of the side panels 10, 20 of the foldable
stand 1. In one of the embodiments, between the side panels 10, 20, stiff, non-bendable
shelves can be placed. However, in the example shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the shelves
are bendable shelves 50, each of which, when stretched, forms a stiff and non-removable
spacer between the side panels 10, 20. A lower wall or a top wall of at least one
bendable shelf 50 is bendable along at least one bending line which is parallel to
the side panel. Along the bending line the central hinge is formed in a plane in which
the lower wall is situated. The front wall, the back wall and the top wall of the
bendable shelf 50 are divided in the plane in which the bending line is located. The
plane is situated at an angle to the lower wall of the bendable shelf. The top wall
or the lower wall, or the side walls of the bendable shelf 50 have catches protruding
from the sides of the bendable shelf 50, which are inserted into the side panels 10,
20 of the foldable stand 1. Each of the catches can have a bending line along which
a side hinge is formed, which is situated in the plane of the side surface adjacent
to the catch of the bendable shelf 50.
[0035] Apart from the bendable shelf 50, the body 100 of the foldable stand 1 is stiffened
with a top inner element 70, a top stiffening element 80 and a topper 90, which are
put onto the body 100 from the top side in a sequence shown in Fig. 2. The top inner
element 70 closes the inner space at the top of the foldable stand 1. Additionally,
between the top inner element 70 and the top stiffening element 80 there is a top
chamber, through which a stream of cool air can flow cooling the foldable stand from
the top to the interior of the foldable stand 1. The top inner element 70 is additionally
positioned thanks to inserting the top protrusion 33 of the inner element 30 of the
back panel into the longitudinal opening 72, which is situated in the back area of
the top inner element 70. The top stiffening element 80 with longitudinal openings
81 situated near the edge, in which anchoring elements 91 of the topper are inserted,
is put onto the top inner element 70. The complete first embodiment of the foldable
stand 1 made from bendable material is shown in Fig. 3.
[0036] In Fig. 4 a cooling device 2 is shown, whose outer dimensions in the top view are
not larger than the inner dimensions of a lower opening of the foldable stand 1, which
facilitates putting the foldable stand 1 onto the cooling device 2 from the top. Putting
the foldable stand 1 onto the cooling device 2, results in a unit or set of the foldable
stand and the cooling device, which provides for the storage and cooling of various
types of products, e.g. beverages, whereas outer and inner surfaces of the foldable
stand 1 can be used for advertising and information purposes.
[0037] Another advantage of the set of the foldable stand and the cooling device, according
to the invention, is the possibility of easy transport from one place to another after
folding the foldable body 100 together with the bendable shelves 50 in a flat, cubical
package, in a manner shown in Figs. 5 and 6. While the foldable body 100 is being
folded, the bendable shelves 50 are folded upwards and, at the same time, the front
panel 60 is bent inwards to the folded body 100, whereas the inner element 30 and
the outer element 40 of the back panel, are bent outwards of the folded body 100,
according to arrows 101 shown in Fig. 5. After pressing the left side panel 10 and
the right side panel 20 to each other according to arrows 102 shown in Fig. 6, 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.
[0038] 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. 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. After pressing the left side
panel 110 and the right side panel 120 to each other, the thickness of the foldable
body shown in Fig. 8 is only slightly greater than the total thickness of the side
panels.
[0039] Figs. 9, 10, 11 and 12 show a bendable shelf of a foldable stand or rack made from
bendable material not according to the invention. The bendable shelf 50 shown in Figs.
9, 10, 11 and 12 has the shape of a spatial body and comprises two panels 53, 54 empty
inside, connected with a hinge 56 formed along the bending line of the material from
which the bendable shelf 50 is made. From two opposite sides of the bendable shelf
50 catches 51 and stabilizing elements 52 protrude which additionally stabilize the
setting of the shelf in the side panels of the foldable stand. The walls of the bendable
shelf 50, just like the entire foldable stand, are made of bendable material, e.g.
paper, cardboard, corrugated cardboard or sheets of bendable plastic, or a combination
of the above-mentioned materials, and they can have a single layer of bendable material
or be multi-layer. The bendable shelf 50 comprises a top wall 153 with a top surface,
a front wall 152, a back wall 154, and an inner wall 155, which are divisible, and
a lower wall 151 with a lower surface, which is not divisible but only bendable along
the bending line. The lower panel 151 in this solution is bendable along at least
one bending line, which is parallel to the side, along which the central hinge 56
is formed in the plane coincided with the lower surface, whereas the front wall, the
back wall, the inner wall and the top wall are divided in the plane comprising the
bending line and situated at an angle of 90° in relation to the lower wall of the
stretched bendable shelf 50. The top wall has catches 51 protruding beyond the side
of the bendable shelf. The catches 51 are catchable to a supporting structure of the
rack or stand, but each of the catches 51 can have a bending line, along which a side
hinge 57 is formed, facilitating the self-aligning movement of a part of the bendable
shelf, i.e. the panel 53, 54 in relation to the side panel of the foldable stand.
On the sides of the catches 51, along the bending line 59, there are situated foldable
wings 58, which after inserting the catch 51 to the longitudinal opening in the panel
or supporting structure of the foldable rack or stand return to the original position
and with their gap-like undercuts hook into the panel or supporting structure preventing
the catch from moving out of the longitudinal opening in the panel or supporting structure
of the foldable rack or stand. The bendable shelf 50 can have the stabilizing elements
52, which additionally stabilize the placement of the shelf in the panels of the foldable
stand, and which can move in and move out of the stabilizing openings in the panel
or supporting structure of the foldable stand or rack while the stand is being folded.
When the shelf 50 is bent from the stretched position shown in Fig. 9 through the
folding positions shown in Figs. 10 and 11 up to the fully-folded position shown in
Fig. 12 in which lower surfaces of both parts of the lower wall contact each other.
It should be noted that the bending line, which can be present in a larger number,
divides the lower wall 151 into elements connected with a hinge, each of which has
supporting elements formed from the front wall 152, the top wall 153 and the back
wall 154, however, the supporting elements have inner bearing surfaces or inner supporting
surfaces 143, 144. The inner supporting surfaces 143, 144, located opposite each other,
contact and act on each other after stretching the bendable shelf preventing the bendable
shelf 50 from bending with the convexity downwards. To achieve the self-aligning movement
in relation to the neighbouring panel, a bending line between the catches and panels
of the bendable shelf 50 is not necessary as even a stiff catch can align in the opening
11 of the side panels 10, 20 of the foldable stand 1.
[0040] Fig. 13 shows a pattern 150 cut out from a sheet of bendable material or foldable
with the outline whose shape is close to a rectangle from which the bendable shelf
of a foldable stand not according to the invention is formed. The dashed lines denote
the bending lines, i.e. the lines along which the material can be bent, and the full
lines denote the lines along which the sheet of bendable material is cut throughout
its entire thickness. In the central part of the pattern there is an area of a rectangular
shape from which the lower wall 151 of the bendable shelf is formed. To an indivisible
area of the lower wall 151, from one side the following area adhere, namely the area
of the front wall 152, the area of the top wall 153, the area of the inner wall 155
and the area of the reinforcement 157 of the lower wall 151, which is at the same
time the inner divisible first part of the lower wall 151, which after folding the
bendable shelf, adheres to the outer non-divisible part of the lower wall 151 of the
bendable shelf. On the other side, the following area adhere to the indivisible area
of the lower wall 151, namely the area of the back wall 154, the area of the top wall
153, the area of the inner wall 155 and the area of the reinforcement 157 of the lower
wall 151, which is at the same time the inner divisible part of the lower wall 151,
which after folding of the bendable shelf, adheres to the outer indivisible part of
the lower wall 151 of the bendable shelf. In the centre of the area of the outer indivisible
part of the lower wall 151 there is an extruded bending line 351 of the lower wall
of the bendable shelf marked with a dashed line, along which a hinge is formed enabling
the bending of the shelf of the foldable stand. The reinforcement area 157, or the
inner divisible part of the lower wall 151, the area of the front wall 152, the area
of the back wall 154, the area of the top wall 153 and the area of the inner wall
155 are divided along the continuous lines 355 shown in Fig. 13.
[0041] In the case of indivisible top walls of the bendable shelf, the front wall, the top
wall and the back wall of the bendable shelf are formed from a strip of bendable material
which is an extension of the lower wall towards the front, or the back wall, the top
wall and the front wall of the bendable shelf are formed from a strip of bendable
material which is an extension of the lower wall towards the back.
[0042] The rectangular area of the outer indivisible part of the lower wall 151 and each
area 157 of the inner divisible part of the lower wall 151, is enlarged on both sides
by protrusions, which, after folding, form the stabilizing elements 52, which additionally
stabilize the setting of the shelf in the panels of the foldable stand. In turn, to
each of the areas, on both its sides, of the divisible part of the top panel 153 of
the bendable shelf, there adheres an area from which along the bending line 353 the
catch 51 is formed with bendable wings 58, along the bending lines 354, formed thanks
to incisions situated along the line which lies in the plane of the sides of the bendable
shelf. The bending lines 353 and 354 are marked with the dashed line.
[0043] In the centre of the area of the inner wall 155 of the bendable shelf there are 'H'-shaped
openings 251 forming inner locks, and on the edges of the inner panel 155 there are
'U'-shaped incisions 252 forming the outer locks in which blocking elements 160 of
the bendable shelf whose pattern is shown in Fig. 14 are embedded. Each of the blocking
elements 160, which forms a plug of the side and central openings of the bendable
shelf has a top wall 163, a lower wall 161 and a front wall 162, visible after inserting
the blocking elements 160 into the openings formed after folding the bendable shelf.
Additionally, in the top wall 163 and lower wall 161 of each of the blocking elements
160 in the centre there are formed gaps 261 which enclose the adhering inner walls
155 of the bendable shelf. The gaps 261 of the blocking elements 160 prevent the inner
walls 155 from moving away from each other.
[0044] Figs. 15, 16, 17 and 18 show a bendable shelf 250 of a foldable stand or rack made
or manufactured from bendable material not according to the invention. The bendable
shelf 250 shown in the figures is similar to the bendable shelf shown in Figs. 9,
10, 11 and 12, and has the shape of a spatial body, and has two panels 257, 258 which
are empty inside, connected with the hinge 256 formed along the bending line of the
material from which the bendable shelf is made, from which two opposite side catches
and elements stabilizing the inserting of the shelf in the side panels of the foldable
stand protrude. The bendable shelf 250 shown in Figs. 15, 16, 17 and 18 is different
from the bendable shelf in Figs. 9, 10, 11 and 12 because the front wall, the back
wall, the top wall and the inner wall of the bendable shelf are divided in the plane
with the bending line which is situated at an angle α in relation to the lower wall
which is different from 90°, resulting in the parts of the divisible top wall not
being equal, and the cutting lines 263 of the divisible areas of the top wall of the
pattern shown in Fig.19, from which the bendable shelf of the second variant is made,
do not lie along the straight line on which the bending line 261 of the bendable shelf
lies. A strip 295 of textile material or bendable plastic is adhered or stuck to the
bendable material of the pattern 250 in the region of the bending line along which
the central hinge 261 is formed enabling the bending of the bendable shelf 250.
[0045] Another bendable shelf of foldable stand or rack formed from bendable material not
according to the invention is shown in Fig. 20. The bendable shelf 350 shown in the
figure is similar to the bendable shelf in Figs. 9, 10, 11 and 12 and has the shape
of a spatial body, and comprises two side elements or side panel parts 357, 358, and
one central element or one central panel part 359, which are empty inside. The central
panel part 359 is connected with the side panel parts 357, 358 with more than one
hinge 356, each of which is formed along different bending lines of the material from
which the lower wall of the bendable shelf is made. From two opposite sides of the
bendable shelf catches and elements stabilizing the insertion of the shelf in the
panels of the foldable stand protrude.
[0046] Yet another bendable shelf of foldable stand or rack formed from bendable material
not according to the invention is shown in Fig. 21. The bendable shelf 370 shown in
this figure is similar to the bendable shelf shown in Figs. 9, 10, 11 and 12, and
has the shape of a spatial body with the lower wall divided into elements, each of
which has supporting elements having inner supporting surfaces, and the inner supporting
surfaces lying opposite each other of two neighbouring supporting elements attached
to the lower wall contact each other after straightening the bendable shelf preventing
the bendable shelf 370 from bending with the convexity downwards. The supporting elements
are formed from the top wall connected with the lower wall by means of the front wall
and back wall. The walls form two side panels 377, 378, which are empty inside and
which are connected by the hinge 376. From two opposite sides 372 of the bendable
shelf catches 371 and alternatively stabilizing elements protrude, which additionally
stabilize the inserting of the shelf in the panels of the foldable stand.
[0047] Figs. 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 show bendable shelf 450 of the foldable stand
according to the invention made from bendable material. The bendable shelf shown in
these figures is similar to the bendable shelf in Figs. 9, 10, 11 and 12, and has
the shape of a spatial body, and has two panels 457, 458 which are empty inside, connected
with the hinge 456 formed along the bending line of the material from which the bendable
shelf is made, from which from two opposite sides catches and elements stabilizing
the inserting of the shelf in the panels of the foldable stand protrude. This bendable
shelf additionally has a tilting panel or wall 459 comprising two parts, each of which
has a hinged connection with the bottom side by means of a lower element attached
to a designated panel of the bendable shelf, e.g. with glue. The tilting panel 459
forms the edge element of the bendable shelf which protrudes above the top surface
of the top panel of the bendable shelf 450 in a position when the shelf is stretched
and spaces the side panels of the stand. The edge which protrudes above the top surface
of the top panel 450 prevents products placed on the shelf from sliding down, which
products by applying load on the shelves stretch them and increase their influence
on the panels of the foldable stand. The tilting panel 459 with the edge is hold down
in the vertical position by means of elastic element 490, e.g. a tensile cord pulled
through the openings in the tilting panel and walls of the bendable shelf, and hooked
on the central element 491, as demonstrated in Figs. 27 and 28. Before folding the
bendable shelf or folding into a flat package the foldable stand, the tilting panel
459 is tilted forwards, according to the arrows shown in Fig. 22 to a position in
which its outer surface is in the plane of the lower surface of the bendable shelf.
Folding the bendable shelf with the edge runs according to steps as indicated by the
arrows in Figs. 23 and 24, up to the folded position shown in Fig. 25.
[0048] In Fig. 26 is shown the bendable shelf 450 with the edge element which can be additionally
stiffened by means of the blocking elements 460, which play the role of plugs of the
inner openings 470 occurring in the places of cutting of the front wall, back wall
and top wall of the bendable shelf and the outer openings 480 situated in the sides
of the bendable shelf 450.
[0049] The tensible elements 490 formed from the tensible cord are shown in more detail
in Figs. 27 and 28. The tensible elements 490 are pulled through the openings and
incisions in the inner part of the tilting panel and hooked on the central element
491 formed by 'U'-shaped openings, shown in Fig. 29, which shows the pattern 400 of
the bendable shelf 450 made of a sheet of bendable material. A strip 495 of textile
material or bendable plastic is stuck on the bendable material of the pattern 400
in the region of the bending line along which the central hinge 456 is formed which
enables the bending of the bendable shelf 450. The pattern 410 of the tilting panel
459 and the pattern 420 of the blocking element of the bendable shelf with the edge
are shown in Figs. 30 and 31. Just like in the case of the bendable material of the
pattern 400, a strip 415 of textile or bendable plastic material is stuck on the material
of the pattern 410 between the bending lines.
[0050] In Fig. 32 is shown the bending shelf 550 with the edge element, whose inner walls
555 are fastened with a clip or clamp 560 made of elastic plastic or metal, and the
inner openings occurring in the places of cutting of the front wall, the back wall
and the top wall of the bendable shelf 550 and the outer openings situated in the
sides of the bendable shelf 550 are not plugged.
[0051] 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.
[0052] 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. To one of the component part
of the lower wall situated in Fig. 34 horizontally, layers of bendable material 781,
782, 783 are stuck. To the other part of the lower wall situated in Fig. 34 vertically,
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.
[0053] Figs. 35 and 36 show a bendable shelf 850 of a foldable stand not according to the
invention with the edge, which has the shape of a spatial body consisting of many
layers of bendable material. The bendable shelf 850 comprises two parts 853, 855,
joined by means of the hinge 856, formed along the bending line of the lower wall,
which divides the lower wall into two parts. To one of the component parts 883 of
the lower wall, layers 881, 882 are stuck. To another part 893 of the lower wall,
layers 891, 892 are stuck. The layers 881, 882 glued together and layers 891, 892
also glued together form separate bearing or supporting elements with broken inner
bearing or supporting surfaces 861, 862. The broken inner supporting surfaces 861,
862, located opposite each other of the two adjacent component parts of the lower
wall, contact and act on each other after stretching the bendable shelf preventing
the bendable shelf 850 from bending with the convexity downwards. The bending of the
bendable shelf 850 is further prevented by means of protrusions of the separate supporting
elements, which with their lower surfaces lean against the top surface of the lower
wall of the bendable shelf. Analogically to the other solutions, from two opposite
sides 857 of the bendable shelf 850 catches 851 with wings 858 and stabilizing elements
859 protrude, which additionally stabilize the inserting of the shelf in the side
panels of the foldable stand. The front wall 852 and the back wall 854 of the bendable
shelf 850 can be covered by paper with inscriptions. In the front of the bendable
shelf the tilting panel is placed which is glued from the lower side to the lower
wall and is supported by means of tensible elements 871.
[0054] The foldable stand 500 with the bendable shelves 450 with the edge is shown in Fig.
37, in which the right side panel has been removed, and the catches of the bendable
shelves are not shown, whereas in Fig. 38 is shown the unit or set 600 of the foldable
stand and the cooling device and bendable shelves 450 with the edge element. 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.
In turn, 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.
