Abstract:
An article carrying/keeping device comprising a pallet on which an article is placed, four props detachably attached to the pallet in an approximately vertically standing manner against an article placing face of the pallet, first and second couplers attached to the respective props along the longitudinal directions thereof, and first and second coupling members mutually coupling two props positioned adjacent to each other, wherein the second couplers are positioned lower than the first couplers in a state where the four props are attached to the pallet, the first and second coupling members are positioned mutually crossing in a state where the four props are attached to the pallet, one end sides of the respective first coupling members in the longitudinal directions thereof are rotatably coupled with the first couplers attached to one side props among two props positioned adjacent to each other, the other end sides in the longitudinal directions thereof are rotatably coupled with the second couplers attached to the other side props among two props positioned adjacent to each other, one end sides of the respective second coupling members in the longitudinal directions thereof are rotatably coupled with the first couplers attached to the other side props, the other end sides in the longitudinal directions thereof are rotatably coupled with the second couplers attached to the one side props among two props, and at least either of the first or second couplers are movably attached to the respective props to which the couplers are attached in the longitudinal directions of the props, wherein said device comprises coupler fixing members fixed to the first and second couplers attached to the respective props for fixing/coupling the first and second couplers with each other, said coupler fixing members are slidably fitted into at least one side couplers among the first and second couplers, and the couplers and the coupler fixing members are detachably/attachably fixed by screwing screws inserted into through holes formed in the couplers into which the coupler fixing members are slidably fitted onto screw holes formed in the coupler fixing members.
