Abstract:
1. Element for the storage, handling and transport of planar objects, the element having, in the horizontal plane, a rectangular shape with a length and a width, the element comprising: on an upper side two bearing surfaces sloping inwards and two support surfaces that are perpendicular to the bearing surfaces, wherein the support surfaces jointly at least partly define a ridge that extends along the length of the element, wherein a transition between an adjacent pair of one of said support surfaces and one of said bearing surfaces is formed by a zone where the width of the ridge is, at at least one height, smaller than the distance between geometric extensions of the two support surfaces at this height, or is formed by a recess in a bearing surface directly adjacent to the transition, wherein the element has precisely two support beams or rows of supports on an underside extending parallel to the ridge, and wherein the element has an open structure and is formed by at least two flat ribs that extend in the height and width of the element, the at least two flat ribs defining bearing edges, support edges, feet, said support surfaces, said support beams, and slat recesses, the at least two flat ribs being connected to one another by slats spaced at a distance from one another and extending in the longitudinal direction of the element, one of the at least two flat ribs being placed at each end of the element.
