Abstract:
1. A module used for stacking thin panels, comprising: a sandwiching support portion configured to sandwich and support the thin panel; a load transmitting portion coupled with the sandwiching support portion, the load transmitting portion transmitting a weight of the thin panel in a vertical direction; and a positioning portion configured to relatively position the thin panels in a horizontal direction, the thin panels being stacked in the vertical direction, wherein: the sandwiching support portion includes a lower plate-shaped body and a vertical wall, the lower plate-shaped body being disposed on a lower portion of the module, the vertical wall extending upward from an outer edge of the lower plate-shaped body to form an approximately C-shaped cross-sectional surface in conjunction with the lower plate-shaped body, the sandwiching support portion sandwiching and supporting the thin panel inserted from an opening of the C-shaped cross-sectional surface, the load transmitting portion includes a load transmitting surface formed outward from an outer surface of the vertical wall, the positioning portion includes an inner lock portion on an inner edge of the lower plate-shaped body, an outer lock portion on an outer edge of the lower plate-shaped body, and an upper plate-shaped body disposed on the upper portion of the module, the inner lock portion being contactable with an inner edge of the upper plate-shaped body, the outer lock portion being contactable with an outer edge of the upper plate-shaped body, the sandwiching support portion includes the vertical wall that couples the outer edge of the upper plate-shaped body with the outer edge of the lower plate-shaped body to form the approximately C-shaped cross-sectional surface by the upper plate-shaped body and the lower plate-shaped body, and the sandwiching support portion is configured to sandwich and support the thin panel inserted between the lower plate-shaped body and the upper plate-shaped body from an opening of the C-shaped cross-sectional surface.
