1. A frame, comprising:
- a plurality of elongate frame elements each of a respective predetermined length; and
at least one connecting corner element, having sides intersecting to form an outside corner and to be shorter than said frame elements, to which sides said frame elements are respectively mounted to be disposed angularly with respect to each other, said sides defining with said frame elements means for engaging therewith in a manner permitting angular movement therebetween,wherein at least one of said frame elements is mounted to a corresponding side of said at least one connecting corner element for retention solely thereby and in a manner permitting said angular movement relative thereto about a direction parallel to said corresponding side.

10. A frame comprising:
-
a plurality of frame elements, each including an intermediate partition formed longitudinally along a side surface of a frame element side plate, a front engaging section formed along an upper edge of said side plate to be extending over the intermediate partition and defining a predetermined interval provided with respect to said intermediate partition for accommodating an object to be contained, and an engaging pawl provided at a front end of said intermediate partition; and a plurality of connecting elements cooperating with said frame elements to define said frame, each connecting element including a frame element fitting section and an angular-movement stoppage section provided orthogonally to the frame element fitting section, the angular-movement stoppage section being formed for engaging with an engaging pawl provided at a front end of the intermediate partition of a cooperating frame element to hold said cooperating frame element in an engaged position with respect to the corresponding connecting element, wherein, said frame element fitting section of each connecting element comprises a convex shaft section formed at a lower end of a connecting element side plate, each frame element is formed to have a concave bearing section at the lower end of said frame element side plate, and the convex shaft section of each connecting element engages with the concave bearing section of a cooperating frame element.
