Carrier For Transporting Paintings And Other Substantially Planar Artwork
US Patent:
4493504, Jan 15, 1985
Filed:
Sep 13, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/417481
Inventors:
Robert L. MacHose - Zionsville PA
International Classification:
B65D 7100
US Classification:
294146
Abstract:
A carrier for transporting paintings and other substantially planar artwork comprises a pair of generally parallel elongated support members mounted upon a generally transverse guide member for relative adjustment toward and away from each other to adjust the distance to conform to the corresponding dimension of a piece of artwork to be transported. Retainers are provided for retaining the support members in the adjusted position to retain the artwork in place. The support members each include a seat for preventing lateral movement of the artwork. A protective member is provided, the protective member being hinged to the first guide member to afford relative displacement of the first guide member and the protective member between an open and a closed position. When the protective member is in the closed position, it is held parallel to the artwork with sufficient clearance therebetween to avoid impingement by the protective member against the adjacent surface of the artwork.
