A stable product holding system or assembly includes a vertical panel, a stabilizing panel pivotally hinged to the vertical panel for triangular bracing, and a base panel pivotally secured to the lower edge of the vertical panel. In addition, broad strapping arrangements are secured to the ends of the vertical panel to hold products against the vertical panel. The assembly is fully collapsible, with the straps holding the panels firmly against one-another to provide a compact unit for storage.

1. A collapsible product holding and transporting system comprising:a vertical panel for extending upwardly from a support surface;a stabilizing panel hingedly mounted to said vertical panel and extending angularly to the support surface to form a triangular bracing structure;a flexible coupling extending between the lower edges of said vertical panel and said stabilizing panel;a base panel pivotally coupled to the lower edge of said vertical panel to extend along the support surface in the direction opposite from said stabilizing panel; andstrap arrangements extending laterally from said vertical panel to secure packages upright against said vertical panel and resting on said base panel. 2. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said flexible coupling biases said stabilizing panel to angle said stabilizing panel, away from said vertical panel. 3. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said stabilizing panel is wider than said vertical panel. 4. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said strapping arrangements have at least one-half the vertical extent of said vertical panel. 5. A system as defined in claim 1 further comprising hook and loop type fastening arrangements for locking said strapping arrangements both around the products and around the panels in the collapsed configuration of said assembly. 6. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said vertical panels are between 4 and 8 inches high. 7. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said strapping arrangements are at least 3 inches wide. 8. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein two pivotally interconnected vertical panels are provided. 9. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein flexible coupling between at least some of said panels is implemented by resilient tapes which are both flexible and extensible. 10. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said system is collapsible to a stored configuration with said panels stacked against one another, and with said strapping arrangements holding the panels in this stored configuration. 11. A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said strapping arrangements include two straps, secured to said vertical panel at spaced points on said vertical panel. 12. A system as defined in claim 11 wherein one of said straps has hook type material thereon and the other of said straps has loop type material thereon. 13. A collapsible product holding and transporting system comprising:a vertical panel for extending upwardly from a support surface;a stabilizing panel hingedly mounted to said vertical panel and engaging the support surface outward from said vertical panel;base material secured to the lower edge of said vertical panel to extend along the support surface in the direction opposite from said stabilizing panel; andstrap arrangements extending laterally from at least one side edge of said vertical panel to secure packages upright against said vertical panel and resting on said base material. 14. A system as defined in claim 13 wherein said strapping arrangements have at least one-half the vertical extent of said vertical panel. 15. A system as defined in claim 13 further comprising hook and loop type fastening arrangements for locking said strapping arrangements both around the products and around the panels in the collapsed configuration of said assembly. 16. A collapsible product holding and transporting system comprising:a pair of vertical panels for extending upwardly from a support surface;a pair of stabilizing panels hingedly mounted to said vertical panel and extending angularly to the support surface to form a triangular bracing structure;a flexible coupling extending between the lower edges of said vertical panels and said stabilizing panels;a pair of base panels pivotally coupled to the lower edges of said vertical panels to extend along the support surface in the direction opposite from said stabilizing panels; andstrap arrangements extending laterally from said vertical panels to secure packages upright against said vertical p anels and resting on said base panels. 17. A system as defined in claim 16 wherein said vertical panels are between 4 and 8 inches high. 18. A system as defined in claim 16 wherein said strapping arrangements are at least 3 inches wide. 19. A system as defined in claim 16 wherein said system is collapsible to a stored configuration with said panels stacked against one another, and with said strapping arrangements holding the panels in this stored configuration. 20. A system as defined in claim 19 wherein flexible coupling between at least some of said panels is implemented by resilient tapes which are both flexible and extensible.
