Abstract: An apparatus for transporting and storing cooked food and one-course meals includes a box-shaped, upright container with wheels and at least one pivoting front door. The container can be closed by the front door in an air-tight manner. The container has at least one air valve toward the outside that can be closed and opened, in addition to a device for measuring and storing and displaying the temperature and pressure inside the closed container, so that temperature and pressure can be read from outside of the container. Data can be read by a personal computer and presented in the form of diagrams, as a function of time, over a period of at least 14 days. The cooked food is, initially, cooled at a temperature of between 2° C. and 4° C., and is then exposed to a vacuum for enabling the cooked food to be kept fresh for up to 14 days.

Abstract: The advertising support consists of a stowage space (3) with an opening top and an inflatable advertising support (11) stowed inside it which, when the top of the stowage space (3) is opened, can be inflated upwards from it. In the stowage space (3) there is a scissors structure (7,17) which can be erected by a motor and forms a stable-sided parallelogram which is free-standing and, in the expanded position, extends along the internal height of the inflated advertising support (11). It ensures that, when the scissors structure (7,17) is retracted and the advertising support (11) is deflated at the same time, said advertising support (11) is substantially folded down onto its original base area and prevented from tipping sideways by the lateral stability of the scissors structure.
