Support frame for a tray, with - a profiled strip which runs partially or completely around an inner frame region and into which a base plate can be inserted; wherein the profiled strip has a spring region on the inner side of the frame facing the inner frame region, which spring region comprises a contact section, wherein the contact section of the spring region is arranged to be pressed away from the base plate when the base plate is inserted into the profiled strip and thereby to release an insertion path for the base plate in the direction of a receiving region, wherein the spring area is set up to execute a return movement for form-locking and/or force-locking fixing of the base plate to the inner side of the frame of the profiled strip as soon as the base plate has reached the receiving area; wherein the contact section of the spring region extends obliquely in the direction of insertion (20a, 20b) of the base plate before and after insertion of the base plate in the direction of the inner frame region, so that the base plate can be inserted into the profiled strip from above or from below; characterized in that the suspension region - has an upper side contact surface which is adapted to be in contact with the upper side of the base plate after insertion of the base plate into the receiving area; and/or - has an underside contact surface which is arranged to be in contact with the underside of the base plate after the base plate has been inserted into the receiving area. - a profiled strip which runs partially or completely around an inner frame region and into which a base plate can be inserted; wherein the profiled strip has a spring region on the inner side of the frame facing the inner frame region, which spring region comprises a contact section, wherein the contact section of the spring region is arranged to be pressed away from the base plate when the base plate is inserted into the profiled strip and thereby to release an insertion path for the base plate in the direction of a receiving region, wherein the spring area is set up to execute a return movement for form-locking and/or force-locking fixing of the base plate to the inner side of the frame of the profiled strip as soon as the base plate has reached the receiving area; wherein the contact section of the spring region extends obliquely in the direction of insertion (20a, 20b) of the base plate before and after insertion of the base plate in the direction of the inner frame region, so that the base plate can be inserted into the profiled strip from above or from below; characterized in that the suspension region wherein the profiled strip has a spring region on the inner side of the frame facing the inner frame region, which spring region comprises a contact section, wherein the contact section of the spring region is arranged to be pressed away from the base plate when the base plate is inserted into the profiled strip and thereby to release an insertion path for the base plate in the direction of a receiving region, wherein the spring area is set up to execute a return movement for form-locking and/or force-locking fixing of the base plate to the inner side of the frame of the profiled strip as soon as the base plate has reached the receiving area; wherein the contact section of the spring region extends obliquely in the direction of insertion (20a, 20b) of the base plate before and after insertion of the base plate in the direction of the inner frame region, so that the base plate can be inserted into the profiled strip from above or from below; characterized in that the suspension region - has an upper side contact surface which is adapted to be in contact with the upper side of the base plate after insertion of the base plate into the receiving area; and/or - has an underside contact surface which is arranged to be in contact with the underside of the base plate after the base plate has been inserted into the receiving area.
