Casing for housing and transporting stage production material

Abstract

A casing for housing and transporting stage production material comprises a hollow main body shaped so as to define a seat for housing the material and at least partially made of a first expanded polymer.

1 . Casing for housing and transporting stage production material comprising a hollow main body ( 2 ) shaped so as to define a seat ( 3 ) for housing the material; the main body ( 2 ) being at least partially made of a first expanded polymer. 
     
     
         2 . A casing according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) is provided with a cover ( 4 ) mobile between a closed position wherein the cover ( 4 ) closes the seat ( 3 ) and an open position wherein the cover ( 4 ) is arranged so that the seat ( 3 ) is accessible to allow positioning the material; the cover ( 4 ) being at least partially made of a second expanded polymer. 
     
     
         3 . A casing according to  claim 2 , wherein the first expanded polymer and the second expanded polymer are substantially identical. 
     
     
         4 . A casing according to  claim 1 , wherein the first expanded polymer is expanded polypropylene (EPP). 
     
     
         5 . A casing according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner walls ( 13 ,  14 ) of the main body ( 2 ) which define the seat ( 3 ) are shaped so as to define at least one protection shell ( 15 ) for protecting the material housed in the seat ( 3 ); the protection shell ( 15 ) being shaped so as to minimize the movements of the material inside the casing ( 1 ) during transport. 
     
     
         6 . A casing according to  claim 5 , wherein the protection shell ( 15 ) is made of a material different from the material of the main body ( 2 ). 
     
     
         7 . A casing according to  claim 5 , wherein the protection shell ( 15 ) is removable. 
     
     
         8 . A casing according to  claim 5 , wherein the protection shell ( 15 ) is at least partially made of a third expanded polymer having a density lower than the density of the first expanded polymer of the main body ( 2 ). 
     
     
         9 . A casing according to  claim 8 , wherein the third expanded polymer is expanded polypropylene (EPP). 
     
     
         10 . A casing according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) is at least partially made of a first expanded polymer having a density comprised between about 50 g/l and about 70 g/l, preferably 60 g/l. 
     
     
         11 . A casing according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) is made in one piece. 
     
     
         12 . A casing according to  claim 2 , comprising at least one closing device ( 22 ) designed to block the cover ( 4 ) in the closed position. 
     
     
         13 . A casing according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) is externally provided with a base surface ( 6 ) and with a lateral surface ( 7 ); the main body ( 2 ) being provided with a plurality of wheels ( 8 ) coupled to the base surface ( 7 ). 
     
     
         14 . A casing according to  claim 13 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) is provided with at least two grooves ( 10 ) formed on opposed faces of the lateral surface ( 7 ) and shaped so as to define handholds. 
     
     
         15 . A casing according to  claim 13 , wherein the main body ( 2 ) is provided with at least two handles ( 11 ) coupled to respective grooves ( 10 ) formed on opposed faces of the lateral surface ( 7 ).
