Abstract: An open frame structure for attaching to a storage crate in place of an end wall thereof including a base member, two side bars, and a restraining member. The two side bars are attached to opposite ends of the base member and disposed substantially transverse thereto. The first and second side bars of the frame member define a substantially open access port therebetween. The restraining member connects the side bars and includes a central connector to allow separation thereof into two segments. The open frame structure may optionally also include a hinge means. The hinge means includes a plurality of flanges affixed to the base member and extending downwardly therefrom. Each of the flanges has a hole formed therethrough for receiving a hinge pin therethrough. The hinge means may alternatively include a cross plate attached to the storage crate, and a hinge pivotally attached to the cross plate and the base member.
