Abstract

La présente invention concerne un support d’article qui comprend une structure d’appui (300) formant un manchon interne (332) et un manchon de retenue externe (400) disposé de manière fixe autour des articles (A, A’). Le manchon de retenue fournit un accès visuel optimal aux articles enfermés dans le support d’article. Un groupe d’articles est posé sur la paroi inférieure (314) de la structure d’appui qui comprend des parties en porte à faux renforcées (330a, 330b) en vue d’accroître la rigidité de la structure d’appui. Le manchon interne de la structure d’appui fournit une séparation, une retenue d’article supplémentaire et définit une poignée servant à soulever le support d’article. Le manchon de retenue et la structure d’appui peuvent être obtenus à partir de matériaux variés, le manchon de retenue étant transparent, translucide, comportant des fenêtres ou des contours afin de révéler un volume optimal de la surface des articles.
