Abstract: In the case of the picture-frame transporting crate according to the invention, a spacing which remains in the height direction between the closed cover (4) and the top side of a picture frame (7) which has been placed in position, or of a padding plate which covers the top side of the picture frame, is filled by means of a heightwise spacer (8) which is coordinated precisely, in terms of length, with this spacing. For this purpose, either a heightwise spacer (8) of appropriate length is selected from a supply or the appropriate heightwise spacer (8) is produced on site by virtue of the appropriate length being cut off precisely from a longer strip or a longer rod.

Abstract: A shipping box (1) for shipping of high-value, highly sensitive objects, especially framed paintings, or painting stabilized in terms of shape in some other way, has a frame having side walls (3), a bottom wall (4) and a top wall (5) which forms a cover, and can be completely sealed, the walls of the shipping box (1) being lined with vacuum insulation panels (6).

Abstract: System for hanging picture frames and other essentially panel-shaped articles. The hanging system has at least one hanger which is attachable to a picture frame and on which a support element is detachably mountable and which is able to project beyond the picture frame to which the hanger is attached in use. The hanger has at least one holding mechanism for a hanging cord by which the picture frame can be hung on the hanging cord. The holding mechanism has a clamping device which is connected to the hanger and by which the hanging cord is fixedly securable to the hanger by clamping.

Abstract: A hanging system for framed paintings and other basically plate-like objects, has at least one hanging rail attached securely to a frame and a mounting rail which is detachably mountable to the hanging rail; wherein said hanging rail has at least one fastening point by which the mounting rail is detachably fastenable to the hanging rail. Preferably, at least one hanging rail is located in each corner of the frame and the fastening point is in the form of a threaded bore. The hanging system also includes a transport frame having lengthwise sides and crosswise sides which interconnect the lengthwise sides to which outwardly projecting ends of the hanging rails are attachable. Preferably, the transport frame has lengthwise sides with longitudinally extending openings, and crossbars which extend parallel to the crosswise sides and are mounted in the longitudinally extending openings so as to be adjustably guidable therein and fixable in a lockable manner.
