Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a foldable support device for objects, which can be used in particular, but not exclusively, as a bag-holder basket.
  • closed containers For collecting and storing, for example, dirty laundry and rubbish in general it is known to use closed containers, which may or may not be provided with a lid and that are suitable for containing an interchangeable bag.
  • the bag once it has been filled, is intended to be removed from the container so as to be replaced with a new empty bag.
  • Such closed containers have the advantage of providing an excellent support to the bag, especially when filled with separate and rather heavy materials, and of hiding such a bag and the relative content from view, but have the drawback of not normally being able to be dismounted and/or folded up so as to be conveniently put away when they are not being used.
  • open support baskets can be used, made up of a tubular framework made from metal or plastic material that is suitable for containing and supporting one or more bags .
  • Open support baskets are usually lighter and less bulky than closed containers and, very often, they are also configured so as to be able to be dismounted and/or folded up.
  • the systems for mounting/dismounting and opening/closing of such open support baskets according to the prior art, usually provided with interlocking elements and/or threaded fixing means that require the use of specific tools are not very convenient and are rather complicated.
  • the general purpose of the present invention is therefore that of making a foldable support device for objects, which can be used in particular, but not exclusively, as a bag-holder basket, which is capable of solving the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art in an extremely simple, cost-effective and particularly functional manner.
  • one purpose of the present invention is that of making a foldable support device for objects which is capable of passing from the closed or resting position, to the open or operative position, in a simple and fast manner.
  • Another purpose of the invention is that of making a foldable support device for objects that is stable and safe when it is in the operative position.
  • a further purpose of the invention is that of making a foldable support device for objects having a limited bulk when it is in the closed position, making its transportation and storage easier.
  • a foldable support device for objects which can be used in particular but not exclusively as a bag-holder basket, as outlined in claim 1.
  • figure 1. is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the foldable support device for objects according to the present invention, shown in the open or operative configuration;
  • figure 2 is a side elevation view of the support device in the open configuration of figure 1;

  • a foldable support device for objects according to the present invention is shown, wholly indicated with reference numeral 10.
  • the support device 10 is preferably intended to be used as a bag-holder basket, although other types of uses can be foreseen, as shall be specified more clearly in the rest of the description.
  • the support device 10 comprises a lower base 12, which is suitable for being rested on the ground or on any surface, preferably flat, and an upper support element 14, which is intended to support and/or contain objects like for example a bag for dirty laundry or rubbish in general.
  • the lower base 12 and the upper support element 14 are both made up of rings having an equal diameter, wherein on the upper support ring 14 it is possible for an interchangeable bag to be inserted and fixedly connected to it.
  • the lower base 12 and the upper support element 14 are operatively connected by means of a pair of vertical support uprights 16, which are identical to one another and are arranged on two opposite sides of the support device 10.
  • each vertical support upright 16 is provided, respectively at its upper end, at its middle portion and at its lower end, with a first upper articulation 18, a second middle articulation 20 and a third lower articulation 22.
  • the second middle articulation 20 divides the respective vertical support upright 16 into a first upper arm 24 and a second lower arm 26, whereas the first upper articulation 18 and the third lower articulation 22 are respectively connected to the upper support element 14 and to the lower base 12.
  • the support device 10 is capable of passing from an open or operative configuration (figures 1, 2, 3 and 10), in which the lower base 12 and the upper support element 14 are set apart from the vertical support uprights 16, to a closed or resting configuration (figures 7, 8 and 9), in which such upper 18, middle 20 and lower 22 articulations allow the upper 24 and lower 26 arms of each vertical support upright 16, to fold, so that the lower base 12, the upper support element 14 and such upper 24 and lower 26 arms are in the configuration in which they are folded like a sandwich.

  • the second middle articulation 20 is made up of an upper articulated head 36, that is fixedly attached to the upper arm 24, and of a lower articulated head 38, which is fixedly attached to the lower arm 26, which frictionally engage with one another in the open or operative configuration of the support device 10.
  • each vertical support upright 16 at least one sliding bush 40, 42, 46 is applied, which can be fixedly connected, in the open or operative configuration of the support device 10, at at least one from each upper 18, middle 20 and lower 22 articulation so as to block its rotation and, consequently, to prevent the folding up of the respective vertical support upright 16.
  • the sliding bushes 40, 42, 46 slide (for example upwards, as shown in figure 5a) to move them away from the respective upper 18, middle 20 and/or lower 22 articulations, which can thus be free to rotate.
  • the sliding bushes for example the middle 40 and lower 46 sliding bushes, could also be provided with knurled gripping surfaces (see figure 10), so as to make them easier to grip and move.
