DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a stand for supporting substantially conical objects such as ice-cream cones or disposable cups, and comprising an upper dispensing plate with a plurality of apertures, in which the objects may be situated.
BACKGROUND ART
Stands are known, in which ice-cream cones may be stationarily situated, and which are formed as a plinth and provided with a plurality of apertures in the dispensing plate arranged at the top thereof. However, these stands are not suited for retaining a carrier for carrying away ice-cream cones.
Carriers are also known, cf. for instance DK-PS No. 125,981, whereby objects, especially bottles, in a group may be manually transported, and whereby the objects are retained in apertures in the carrier. These carriers are, however, not suited for carrying away conical, delicate objects such as ice-cream cones.
Furthermore a carrier is known which is formed as a stand, and which on the top side comprises recesses receiving fast food such as for instance chips, burgers, and a bottle with a beverage. However, this carrier is only used when having the meal on the spot.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a stand of the above type, which always ensures that the carriers are available when the objects are to be carried away, and which at the same time ensures that the carriers are reliably situated on the top side of the stand when the conical objects are to be supported on said stand before their being carried away.
The stand according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a container for carriers provided with apertures and for carrying away the conical objects, said container being adapted to dispense the carriers one by one since these carriers are to be situated on the dispensing plate of the stand before the conical objects are situated on the stand. As a result, the carriers are always available at the stand. When a carrier is pulled out of the container and situated on the dispensing plate, care is automatically taken that the apertures of the carrier oppose the apertures of the dispensing plate. When the conical objects to be delivered from the stand are temporarily situated in the apertures of the carrier and the dispensing plate, the carrier is fixed to the dispensing plate.
According to the invention the stand may comprise a container which is formed as a box with an upper side slot through which the carriers may be pulled out one by one, said carriers being present in a roll or a spring-loaded pile within the box, whereby stops are provided at one end of the dispensing plate, whereby each carrier may abut on and be retained by said stops immediately upon its pulling out of the container. In this manner both a reliable support of the carriers and a good retaining thereof are obtained.
Furthermore according to the invention, the container may be mounted below the dispensing plate in such a manner that the distance between the top side of the container and the underside of the dispensing plate is greater than the distance which the conical objects project below said dispensing plate, as well as one or more slots for the removal of the carriers are provided on the side plates of the stand, whereby a more compact stand construction is obtained.
According to the invention the upper or lower part of the slot may comprise a rim which is preferably serrated in order to ease the tearing off of carriers, whereby a reliable tearing off of each carrier from the container roll is possible.
The invention also relates to a carrier, preferably for use in connection with the stand according to the invention, and this carrier is characterized in that it comprises a plate of bendable material such as cardboard and with a plurality of preferably equally large apertures situated side by side and receiving the conical objects such as ice-cream cones and disposable cups, said plate being foldable immediately before the carrying away from the stand in such a manner that it is substantially U-shaped or triangular
