Abstract:
A modular assembly of hinged stacked flat modules comprising n substantially identical modules and a support for holding said modules and to which they are hinged, where n is an integer greater than 1, said modules have two larger stacking faces and smaller peripheral faces and first retaining means on a first of their smaller faces, and said support has a length at least equal to the height of said stacked modules and includes successive and non-contiguously superposed elementary parts, hinges between them, second retaining means complementary to said first retaining means on each of them for holding one of the modules on an assembly face of each elementary part, abutments projecting from the face opposite the assembly face of the elementary parts, and at least one modular support having one of said elementary parts at a first end and a truncated additional part at its opposite second end, said truncated additional part being engageable in the elementary part of said first end of another identical modular support.
