Abstract
A device, which is designed as a compartmented trolley or compartmented rack and which has compartments for accommodating sheet-type objects (glass panes), comprises a base rack (2), on which a plurality of frames (4) projecting upward are arranged. Each of the frames (4) contains rods (5), which are arranged parallel to one another and at a distance from one another in the frame (4). The rods (5) delimit compartments for accommodating the objects in the device (1). The frames (4) having rods (5) that delimit the compartments are pivotably supported on the base rack (2), wherein the pivoting axes (8) are arranged at the lower end of the frames (4) in the region of the base rack (2). The objects that are accommodated in compartments delimited by the rods (5) in the frames (4) rest with their bases, i.e. the lower horizontal edges, on sliding surfaces or rollers (7).
