  • Patent number: 11072466
    Abstract: A carrying device for receiving goods, including a carrying wall which has a front wall and a rear wall, is arrangeable between a closed state and an open state, at least partially forwardly, downwardly and rearwardly delimits a carrying volume for receiving the goods in the closed state, and downwardly opens up the carrying volume in the open state. The carrying device includes a closing device for releasably connecting the front wall to the rear wall in the closed state and an actuating device, connected to the closing device, for releasing the connection between the front wall and the rear wall from the closed state, having an actuating structure arranged at a spacing from the closing device and a transmission structure acting between the actuating device and the closing device. The transmission structure is formed in a flexible manner.

  • Patent number: 10703572
    Abstract: A carrying device for receiving goods, which comprises a carrying wall, having a front wall and a rear wall, and a closing device, having at least one closing structure for releasably connecting the front wall to the rear wall in a closed state. The carrying wall is here arrangeable between the closed state and an open state, wherein in the closed state, it delimits a carrying volume for receiving the goods at least partially to the front, bottom and rear, and wherein in the open state, it opens up the carrying volume in the downward direction. The at least one closing structure is arrangeable, in the open state, at a spacing from the carrying wall.
