Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A device for supporting and segregating articles for storage and for handling comprising a relatively rigid sheet crenelated to sawtooth wavular form to define a plurality of straight channels and alternately interposed upstanding ridges arranged parallel to each other and parallel to a flat zero axis plane lying midway between the tops and bottoms of said ridges and channels and having flat sidewalls uniformly inclined at approximately 90* to each other in such manner that a section taken through the sheet on any plane perpendicular to the channels and to said zero axis plane defines a configuration of like and uniform sawtooth wavelike form, a flat uninterrupted perimetric flange integral with said sheet and extending entirely around the same on said zero axis plane, and integral walls joining the sidewalls to each other and to said flange and closing the ends of said channels and said ridges above and below the flange.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
152 words
A device for supporting and segregating articles for storage and for handling comprising a relatively rigid sheet crenelated to sawtooth wavular form to define a plurality of straight channels and alternately interposed upstanding ridges arranged parallel to each other and parallel to a flat zero axis plane lying midway between the tops and bottoms of said ridges and channels and having flat sidewalls uniformly inclined at approximately 90* to each other in such manner that a section taken through the sheet on any plane perpendicular to the channels and to said zero axis plane defines a configuration of like and uniform sawtooth wavelike form, a flat uninterrupted perimetric flange integral with said sheet and extending entirely around the same on said zero axis plane, and integral walls joining the sidewalls to each other and to said flange and closing the ends of said channels and said ridges above and below the flange.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
68 words
A device as defined in claim 1 including a plurality of narrow straight-sided indentations defined by a plurality of pairs of parallel flat walls extending downwardly from the crests of each wavelike portion parallel to said section plane and each connecting the sidewalls of one of the channels, corresponding walls of the several indentations being coplanar and adapted to receive removable partitions for bridging and dividing the channels.
