A bottom deck has an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface of the top deck is welded to the top surface of the upper plate portion and the bottom surface of the lower plate portion of the middle deck is welded to the upper surface of the bottom deck. Reinforcement members may be provided between the top deck and the middle deck and between the middle deck and the bottom deck.

Abstract: A collapsible container movable between an erect position and a collapsed position includes a bottom having a pair of opposed side walls and a pair of opposed end walls pivotally connected thereto. The top ring extends around a top edge of the container and a lid is mounted on the top ring to form a cover for the container. One end of the lid, the top of an associated end wall and an associated end bar of the top ring each contain through holes therein which are aligned with each other to receive removable locking means therein to lock the container in an erect position.

Abstract: A wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle has a steering swivel (1) attached to a beam (3) so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis (6). The vertical axis (6) runs approximately through the center (Z) of the wheel. The beam (3) is additionally coupled at its lower end to the bodywork via a link (8), the link (8) being swivelably mounted on the bodywork. Instead of the steering swivel (1), it is also possible to mount a spindle so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis through the center of the wheel. The suspension leg (4) is secured against rotation by coupling to a stabilizer (20).
