Large load carrier

Abstract

A large load carrier having a rectangular, palette-like floor part and lengthwise and crosswise side walls that rise from the floor part. Either the lengthwise side walls or the crosswise side walls have contact points for several frames disposed one above the other, in the region against the other side walls, as carriers for the inserts (layers) that carry the goods to be transported. The side walls can be folded on top of one another towards the inside, and the frames are releasably mounted in the contact points.

1 . A load carrier, comprising: 
 a rectangular, palette-like floor part;    lengthwise and crosswise side walls that rise from said floor part; and    several frames disposed one above the other and mounted at contact points to either the lengthwise side walls or the crosswise side walls, said frames acting as carriers for inserts that carry goods to be transported,    wherein the side walls can be folded on top of one another towards the inside, and the frames are releasably mounted in the contact points.    
   
   
       2 . A load carrier according to  claim 1 , wherein the contact points are formed by bores in the side walls.  
   
   
       3 . A load carrier according to  claim 2 , wherein the frames are mounted in the bores so as to pivot.  
   
   
       4 . A load carrier according to  claim 2 , further comprising strips attached on an inside of the side walls through the bores, said strips being vertically disposed and extending the entire height of the side walls.  
   
   
       5 . A load carrier according to  claim 4 , wherein several bores are provided in the strips, one above the other, into which screws can be screwed.  
   
   
       6 . A load carrier according to  claim 5 , further comprising tabs disposed on the sides of the frames that face the side walls having the strips, said tabs adapted to be attached to the strip by screws.  
   
   
       7 . A load carrier according to  claim 5 , further comprising bolts attached in the bores, said bolts forming pivot axles of each frame.  
   
   
       8 . A load carrier according to  claim 7 , wherein the bolts are inserted into the bores in the strips, and wherein the bolts are disposed, together with a ball head, on a flat crosspiece that fits into a complementary recess on the back of the strip, and wherein the ball head projects past the strip on a side of the strip.  
   
   
       9 . A load carrier according to  claim 4 , wherein the strips are screwed onto the side walls.  
   
   
       10 . A load carrier according to  claim 4 , wherein the strips are set onto screws inserted into the bores of the side walls.  
   
   
       11 . A load carrier according to  claim 10 , further comprising a plug element provided on said strips, above an oblong hole, said plug element working together with the screws.  
   
   
       12 . A load carrier according to  claim 9 , further comprising grooves that run at a slant from front to back in a side of the strip that faces the frame, to accommodate frame pivot axles.  
   
   
       13 . A load carrier according to  claim 1 , further comprising spacer elements provided on the frames, said spacer elements being disposed at a right angle to a plane that passes through each frame.  
   
   
       14 . A load carrier according to  claim 1 , further comprising strips disposed at defined intervals on the side wall not having the contact points, said strips having supports for a free front part of the frames, which supports can be folded out and in.  
   
   
       15 . A load carrier according to  claim 14 , wherein the supports are held in their folded-in state by magnets.  
   
   
       16 . A load carrier according to  claim 1 , further comprising a bracket for an uppermost frame, said bracket being disposed on a side wall not containing the contact point, said bracket having a shank that rests on a front part of the frame.  
   
   
       17 . A load carrier according to  claim 16 , wherein the bracket is attached to a part of the side wall that can be folded out.
