Description

CONNECTING SYSTEM FOR A SALES SHELF AND SALES SHELF The present invention relates to a connection system for a sales shelf and a sales shelf.

Such shelves are already known from the prior art, for example for the presentation of e.g. Fresh produce can be used.

For example, such a system is already known from DE 10 2006 035 909 A1, in which modular sales tables or shelving systems with wall parts and storage elements can be attached to a tubular base frame. The base frame is put together and can be assembled without tools.

It is the object of the present invention to further develop a connection system for a sales shelf and a sales shelf of the type mentioned in an advantageous manner, in particular in that this can be assembled more easily and at the same time can also carry heavy loads in a stable and secure manner.

This object is achieved by a connection system for a sales shelf with the features of claim 1. It is provided that a connection system for a sales shelf is provided with at least one hook element and with at least one tongue counterpart, the hook element providing a passage for the Has tongue counterpart, the passage having a width which is dimensioned such that the width of the tongue counterpart can be passed through the passage.

The invention is based on the basic idea of providing a tool-free connection system for a sales shelf, two mutually coordinated counterparts, namely the hook element and the tongue counterpart, and thereby providing a connection. The hook element and the tongue counterpart can connect corresponding tubular elements of the sales shelf to one another. This allows the connection of individual components of the sales shelf, but also individual components of modular sales shelves with each other.

In particular, it can be provided that the hook element is formed from a wire. This enables simple construction of the hook element and also simple and inexpensive production.

It is conceivable, for example, that the hook element is U-shaped.

The hook element can also be double U-shaped.

It is conceivable that the hook tip is formed by a first U-shape of a wire. A further U-shape can then be offset by 90 ° through the wire, so that the hook tip can be spaced accordingly from a hook attachment. By forming the hook element from wire, a simple but stable hook construction is possible.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the passage is formed by two spaced apart sections of the wire. It is conceivable, for example, that the passage is also formed by the double U-shape. The tongue counterpart can engage accordingly in the passage.

It can also be provided that the hook element is formed from a piece of sheet metal. The design as a sheet metal piece, for example as a formed sheet metal piece, also makes it possible to provide a hook element simply and inexpensively.

The passage can be formed by a slot in the piece of sheet metal. A corresponding recess in the form of a slot can be provided here. The slot can be formed in the sheet metal piece by punching out or by a corresponding cutting

Method.

[0014] In addition, it can be provided that the hook element has a hook section and gripping arms arranged next to the hook section. It is conceivable that the hook section is arranged in the middle, while a gripping arm is provided in each case next to the hook section. The gripping arms can be used to grip tubular elements, in particular an individual tubular element, so that the hook element can be fastened accordingly to the frame of the sales shelf, preferably without tools.

The tubular element can be a tubular element on which the hook element together with the tubular element is intended to form a fastening point with further elements of the sales shelf or a further sales shelf.

It can also be provided that the connection system further comprises a tubular element for the sales shelf, the tubular element having at least one recess which is dimensioned and arranged such that the tip of the hook element and / or the tip of a gripper arm in the assembled or put together Condition engages in the recess. As a result, an interlocking of the hook element with corresponding receiving elements and fastening elements can be provided on the sales shelf. This also enables tool-free attachment.

The recess in the tubular element can be a slot. Here, too, it can be a corresponding punching or recess provided in the tubular element by a machining process.

The tube element can be a square tube and / or a horizontal tube of a sales shelf. The pipe elements can be metal pipes.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a sales shelf with at least one connection system, as described above.

Further details and advantages of the invention will now be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.
