A mobile stand for carrying and transporting a plurality of plates (40), especially with ready-to-eat meals arranged thereon, comprises a frame (20) provided with wheels (28) to roll on a base (12). On the frame (20), four parallel elongate rods (32) extend upwardly and are mounted such that they can be displaced both towards and away from and in parallel with the center axis (C) of the stand (10). On each rod (32) a plurality of V-shaped elements (38) are mounted whose two projecting legs (39) form carrying members for the plates (40). Since the rods (32) are displaceably mounted, the distance between two legs (39) located at the same level, but pertaining to separate V elements (38), can be adjusted to accommodate plates (40) of different sizes. The plate stand according to the invention enables the restaurant staff to work in a highly rational and convenient manner, whereby large orders, lunch crowds etc. can be readily managed. The plate stand (10) is also conveniently used for taking away the empty plates (40) to be washed. |
