Description

The invention relates generally to the electrification of a hanging and / or shelving system for hanging, hanging or holding objects. In particular, the invention relates to an electrification system for a hanging and / or shelving system and a hanging and / or shelving system with such an electrification system.

There are different hanging or shelving systems, in particular presentation systems for trade fairs or shops or for the living area, known. For example. Systems are widespread in which vertical carriers in a predetermined grid slots (slot carrier), can be inserted into the hooked carrier elements. There may be different support elements, such as. Support and suspension arms, racks, baskets, shelves on consoles and the like., Are mounted quickly and easily in any desired height in the slots of the slot carrier.

It is also known, on shelves or other support elements of shelves electrical equipment, in particular lighting devices, such as. Halogen or LED lights, to provide better visibility and different visual effects by illuminating goods or objects in the shelf with light. Especially in shelving systems for shopfitting a discreet, unobtrusive accommodation of the power supply for the lights or other electrical equipment is desired. Furthermore, a quick and easy production of the connection connection from the light or other electrical device to the shelving system to an external electrical power supply during assembly of the hanging or shelving system should be possible.

From the DE 10 2013 114 289 A1 is a shelving system with a slotted shelf rail and with attachable to the shelf rail brackets shelf elements known. In the interior of the shelf rail, a busbar with two conductors is arranged. On a console for a shelf elements having engagement portions for hooking into the slots of the shelf rail, a current collector is mounted, which has projecting Abgriffkontakte of a housing, which are arranged on an engagement portion. The Abgriffkontakte are resiliently arranged and arranged so that they can be pressed elastically when hanging the console in the shelf rail against the spring force in the housing and, as soon as they are in the interior of the shelf rail, by the spring force out of the case and against the associated conductor of the bus bar are pressed to provide an electrically conductive connection. Thus, shelf elements or other support elements can be quickly and easily mounted in any desired height on the shelf rail, and when mounting the respective console in the shelf rail automatically and simultaneously the electrical contact between the conductors and the integrated in the console pantograph is made. However, the integration of a bus bar into tubular slotted shelf rails may be relatively difficult due to the need for close fits between shelf rail and bus bar, bumps on the inner surface of the shelf rail, and means such as fasteners that may protrude into the shelf rail during use. To accommodate the pantographs special brackets are required, which must be elaborately, for example. By punching holes for receiving the pantograph devices in standard consoles, manufactured.

Systems are also known which use, as an alternative to the known slot carriers, carrier profile rails which have a base plate for attachment to a wall or substructure of a room and two legs which extend from the base plate in a cantilevered manner perpendicularly away from each other. The legs define a receiving slot between each other, which is accessible via an inlet opening opposite the base plate and serves to receive plug-in elements. The male elements can be quickly and freely positioned in the receiving slot. The carrier rail can also be adapted for vertical attachment and provided with mounting slots for the male elements.

DE 10 2009 003 509 A1 describes such a presentation system with a carrier rail, which is set up in addition to the electrification of electrical, electronic or network-enabled terminals on the male elements. For this purpose, power and / or data lines are integrated in the receiving slot of the carrier profile rail, while the male elements are provided with an adapter module for power tapping on the lines. While the male elements are hung at the desired location in the rail, the electrical connection is made simultaneously. However, such systems using aluminum or other metal carrier rails are relatively expensive in material and expensive. Furthermore, the receiving slots of the carrier profile rails must be equipped with the electrical lines, and the male elements must be set up with special adapter modules that serve in addition to the electrical connection and the mechanical connection of the male with the support rail and are relatively large, bulky and expensive.

In addition, hanging and / or shelf systems are known which use sockets, which are used individually or systematically distributed in a rear wall. In the square or round sockets brackets can be releasably inserted and properly locked therein. From the WO 2005/055774 A1 For example, an electrified suspension system for suspending articles with a plug-in sleeve fastened to a support structure is known, which has a front insertion opening and internally a locking contour, and with a load carrier, at its insertable in the insertion plug part a mating contour for engagement with the locking contour having the plug-in sleeve. In one embodiment, the plug-in sleeve at the rear end has a rear insertion opening and retaining contours for inserting a first electrical coupling part with cables brought up. The male part includes a recess and retaining contours for inserting a second electrical coupling part with a continuing cable for powering a consumer. The two coupling parts are adapted to engage with each other at the maximum inserted into the socket plug-in part both mechanically and electrically. For electrification, a coupling part must be provided on each receptacle and cables brought to this and connected to this. Likewise, the support arms must be equipped with a matching, specially designed electrical coupling part that produces both the mechanical engagement connection and the electrical connection when inserting the male part of the support arm in the socket. Overall, the electrification of the support rod assembly with relatively high cost and high cost of manufacturing, assembly and wiring of the support bar arrangement is bought. In addition to great variability and aesthetic design of such receptacles based suspension systems but, as with any hanging and / or shelving system, a low-cost, cost-effective solution is desirable.

Based on this, it is an object of the invention to provide an electrification system for a hanging and / or shelving system, which is simple and inexpensive, and makes it possible to integrate electrical devices on a hanging and / or shelving system. In particular, the electrification system should enable a low-cost device of electrification and production of an electrical connection when mounting, hanging or hanging of support elements on the hanging and / or shelving system at different positions.

Another object is to provide a hanging and / or shelving system with such an electrification system, which is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy and flexible to handle and for receiving and operating electrical or electronic devices on the suspension and / or Shelving system is suitable.

These objects are achieved by an electrification system for a hanging and / or shelving system having the features of claim 1 and a hanging and / or shelving system according to claim 16. Particularly advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The stripline and the power take-off module are free of fixing means for fixed mechanical connection of the power take-off module with the stripline.

The electrification system according to the invention thus does not use slot carriers, carrier profile rails or plug-in sleeves in order to integrate electrical conductors therein. Rather, web or strip-shaped conductor are mounted directly on a front surface of a rear wall or a separate wall element of a hanging and / or shelving system preferably in a vertical arrangement. The electrification system further employs a current collection module that is not for fixed mechanical connection to the stripline and is not set up with a shelf rail, a carrier rail or a receptacle of a hanging and / or shelving system. The invention is characterized precisely by the fact that no mechanical means for positive or non-positive securing the power take-off module on the stripline, no complementary connecting portions of these, no means for securing by twisting, hooking, plugging or the like., No separate fasteners or the like. , as required in prior art constructions may be needed. The power take-off module is in the mounted state with the stripline alone on the contact between the at least two electrical conductors and the Abgriffkontakten in touch.

The power take-off module is further free of fixing means for fixed mechanical connection of the power take-off module with the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system. The power take-off module is attached solely to the carrier element, for example a shelf element or a tray, basket or the like.

In a preferred embodiment, the stripline has a band-shaped insulating base which defines the back surface and the front surface of the stripline, and at least two thin band-shaped conductor tracks, for example metal sheets, forming the at least two electrical conductors. The insulating base and the at least two electrical conductors may be advantageously formed as an integral, one-piece arrangement in which the current conductors are embedded in the insulating base at a distance and parallel to one another. As the insulator, various conventional rubber-like and / or plastic-like materials which are incapable of conducting electric current can be used. The conductors or tracks may be formed of copper or other material and provided for low voltage feed. The electrical conductors may be recessed or flush recessed in the surface of the stripline opposite the front surface of the insulating base to provide some protection against short circuits and accidental contact with the conductors.

In principle, two or more separate strip-shaped individual conductors could be used, which are mounted parallel to each other on the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system.

The stripline is preferably adapted to be fastened by gluing, magnetic force, screwing, stapling or the like. With its rear surface on the front surface of the wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system quickly and effortlessly. For example. For example, the stripline may carry a double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive layer with a peelable protective film over it, a hook-and-loop tape element or a magnetic element, or have screw or other mounting holes.

The housing of the current collection element can advantageously be designed in several parts. In particular, the housing may have at least a first housing part and a second housing part which can be assembled therewith, which are detachably connectable to one another. The first housing part may support the tap contacts, while the second housing part may have the end face with passage openings for the tapping contacts. This allows easy mounting of the tap contacts and provides the base to provide ample room for a large suspension travel of the tap contacts.

The housing of the current collection element preferably further comprises one or more connector means having terminal members which are electrically connected to the tapping contacts and accessible from the outside of the housing to form an external electrical or electronic device, e.g. a lamp, the hanging and / or shelving system to connect to the power take-off element. It can be molded socket with arranged therein pins on the housing. The housing can be inexpensively made of plastic, in particular by injection molding.

The current collection element further comprises the fastening device, which is integrally formed on the housing and / or attachable and serves for the positive, non-positive, adhesive attachment of the power take-off module to the support module of the hanging and / or shelving system or for mechanical attachment of the same via separate auxiliary connection elements.

The top of the housing may have a generally rectangular cross-section recess dimensioned to receive a profile or groove portion, which is typically formed along a trailing edge of standard metal shelves for shelving systems and projects downwardly beyond a bottom surface of the shelf. When form-fitting the rectangular recess may belong to the fastening device of the current collection module by this is clamped over the recess on the profile or groove portion of the shelf trailing edge.

However, in preferred embodiments, the recess at the top of the housing is sized to play with the widest profile or groove portion known in the art can record. It may in particular be at least 1.3 cm. The same power take-off module can then be used for different standard shelves with different dimensions of the profile or groove sections or for shelves without such profile or groove sections.

In one embodiment, the fastening means of the power take-off module may comprise a recess machined in a top of the housing which is open to the top, e.g. a circular blind hole. Such a recess can fulfill different functions. For example. can be arranged in the recess, a magnet which is preferably substantially flush with the outer surface of the top or slightly protrudes beyond this and can serve to secure the current collector to a magnetizable metal shelf by magnetic force.

In developments, the power take-off module may further comprise an adapter element which is at least partially complementary to the top of the housing designed and preferably releasably attachable to the top of the housing and a mounting flange with screw holes for attachment to a support element, in particular a shelf or the like., Of Hanging and / or shelving system has. For example, the adapter element may have a first projection, which can be received in the profile recess in the upper side of the housing in a clamping manner, and / or a second projection, which can be received in a clamping manner in the recess provided for a magnet in the upper side of the housing. The clamping on the first and / or second projection may possibly be sufficient to hold the housing of the power take-off module to the adapter element. The adapter element may additionally, or alternatively, be screwed, glued or otherwise secured to the one or more clamping connections on the upper side of the housing of the power take-off module. The assembly with the power take-off module attached to the adapter module can be fixed quickly and easily via the mounting flange on the lower surface, for example, a tray-shaped shelf element made of wood, press jig, stone or the like.

In further embodiments, the fastening device can have a claw-like element which can be fastened or formed on the upper side of the housing and which can be set up and dimensioned in order to grip around a trailing edge section of a particular tray-shaped carrier element. The claw-like element of the power take-off module is simply slid over the trailing edge section for attachment to receive it with a slight interference fit. A power take-off module with such a fastening device is in particular also suitable for securing to glass shelves or other carrier elements made of glass or the like.

The housing of the power take-off module has the end face, which is in use, when the power take-off module to the support member and the support member are mounted on the hanging and / or shelving system, the stripline opposite. In the end face the passage openings are provided for the Abgriffkontakte, which are elongated. The Abgriffkontakte are preferably formed by bent, for example, bent by more than 180 degrees and returned to the housing end portions of preferably round in cross-section wire pieces, which pass through the elongated passage openings in the end face of the housing preferably in a slightly inclined orientation relative to the end face. The pieces of wire can extend from the tap contacts back to the housing, preferably bent several times and be fixed with its second end portions in the housing, for example. By clamping.

The pieces of wire are therefore not, or at least not substantially, bent, but in particular elastically pivoted as a lever arm, whereby a large stroke or suspension travel of Abgriffkontakte can be achieved. The stroke of the tapping contacts between a first and a second outermost position in which the tapping contacts are furthest pushed towards and away from the housing, measured perpendicular to the face, may be at least 6-8 mm, preferably at least 10 mm be more. By such a large stroke or possible suspension travel of Abgriffkontakte larger spaces between the support element, in particular a shelf, and a wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system bridged and large differences in different shelf models of different manufacturers can be compensated, always a reliable Contacting is ensured.

According to a further aspect of the invention, a hanging and / or shelving system is provided with at least one wall element, a support element and an electrification system as described above. The wall element is substantially vertical, if necessary slightly inclined relative to the vertical, for example, arranged on rack rails or other support beams of the hanging and / or shelving system. The wall element can also be kinked, bent and formed otherwise uneven. The support member is used for suspension, attachment or other support of objects, such as presentation goods or other things, and may be configured as a tray, a shelf, a basket or as a support arm, wherein the support member on the hanging and / or shelving system preferably detachable and can be mounted at different heights on the wall element, on a support, for example a shelf rail, or on another element of the hanging and / or shelving system. The stripline of the electrification system is mounted in a substantially vertical orientation with its rear surface flat on the wall element. The power take-off module of the electrification system is attached via the fastening device to the carrier element in a form-fitting, force-locking or non-locking manner or via separate auxiliary connecting elements. The Abgriffkontakte the Stromabnahmemoduls are positioned in such a way and protrude out of the housing to the outside so that they automatically with no additional intervention by the user, with at least two electrical conductors of the stripline at an assembly of the support element to the hanging and / or shelving system contacting the wall member so as to be forced further into the housing, if necessary, and urged outward in the assembled state by the spring force into secure electrical contact with the associated electrical conductors to provide a conductive connection for current drain therefrom.

The hanging and / or shelving system may have any number of different types of support elements that can be mounted at different heights on the suspended and / or shelving system by hanging, screwing or otherwise, at the same time the electrical connection provided for the support elements electrical Devices is created.

The system 1 represents only an example of an inventive hanging and / or shelving system 1 which could also be used in the home or in offices for hanging articles, small furniture or the like and for storing objects. The exemplary shelf system 1 here has two spaced apart and parallel to each other, in use with its longitudinal direction vertically aligned shelf rails 2a . 2 B on, the holder of different support elements of the hanging and / or shelving system 1 serve. The shelf rails 2 may be placed on a floor of a showroom via suitable supports, not further illustrated here, or, in the case of a wall shelf, may be attached directly or via suitable hangers to a vertical wall of a room. The shelf rails 2a , b indicate on their in 1 facing the observer one or two rows of perforations or through slots 3 on, in the longitudinal direction of the shelf rail 2a , b are evenly spaced and the attachment of components of the shelving system 1 serve. In 1 are on the shelf rails 2a , b a back wall 4 and a shelf 6 as an exemplary support member of the shelving system 1 attached.

The back wall 4 runs in 1 between the two illustrated shelf rails 2a , b and connects them together. The back wall 4 can not shown here hook-shaped engagement elements in the inner rows of slots 3 the shelf rails 2a , b intervene, be attached to it. The back wall 4 But could also in other ways, for example. By screwing, also on the sides of the shelf rails 2a , b be attached. The back wall 4 could also be formed by the vertical wall of the room itself in a wall shelf.

The shelf 6 Here is a tray that has a substantially flat top 7 , a front bar 8th and along its trailing edge a U-profile or groove portion 9 having. As in particular from 2 seen, which is a simplified, enlarged perspective view with a view from below of the shelf 6 shows, projects the U-profile or groove section 9 over the substantially flat lower surface 11 of the shelf 6 down before. Such shelves 6 with different dimensions of the U-profile or groove section 9 along the trailing edge are widely used in shopfitting and made of metal, especially steel. It can optionally cross struts 12a-c at the lower surface 11 for stiffening the shelf 6 be provided.

The shelf 6 can over conventional angle brackets 13a , 13b, which is the shelf 6 on the transverse sides, on the shelving system 1 be mounted at different heights. The angle brackets 13a , b have engagement hooks in a conventional manner 14 on that in the slots 3 can be hung. Such angle brackets 13a . 13b are well known and need not be explained here. They are not essential to the invention as such. The shelf 6 or any other support member could be attached in any way, for example by screwing, bolted, by simply placing on lateral support strips and the like., On a hanging and / or shelving system.

As in particular from 2 can be seen, the shelf 6 a lamp 16 For example, a halogen or LED light on, here on the front edge of the shelf 6 along the front bar 8th arranged and on the lower surface 11 is mounted. The lamp 16 makes it possible to illuminate goods presented on a shelf underneath and to achieve different optical effects. It can also serve as lighting in wardrobes or the like. The lamp 16 represents only an exemplary electrical or electronic device attached to a hanging and / or shelving system 1 can be provided. For example. could be in place of or in addition to the luminaire 16 an electronic display can also be provided, as can be used in shops for price labeling, for advertising purposes or the like.

To operate the lamp 16 or any other electrical device is this via an inventive electrification system 17 with a not shown here in detail power supply device, for example. A transformer connected to a suitable low voltage for powering the lamp 16 supplies. The electrification system 17 serves as an interface between the electrical device 16 on the hanging and / or shelving system 1 and the low-voltage power supply device. To the electrification system 17 essentially belongs to a stripline 18 to be electrically connected to the power supply, and a power take-off module 19 that the voltage and the current from the stripline 18 picks up and to the light 16 forwards. The lamp 16 is with the power take-off module 19 via a connection cable 21 electrically connected along a transverse edge of the shelf 6 on its lower surface 11 managed and secured, how out 2 seen. The electrification system 17 is below in connection with the figures 3 to 10 explained in more detail.

3 and 4 show plan views from the front and from above on a stripline 18 of the electrification system 17 in simplified representations. The stripline 18 is formed here by an integral arrangement, which is a strip or band-shaped base of an insulating material, for example. A plastic, a rubber-like material or other material that conducts no electric current, and two electrical conductors 23a . 23b that includes in the insulating base 22 are embedded in the distance, running parallel to each other. The base 22 has a back surface 24 and a front surface 26 on that a depth of the base 22 which is significantly smaller than the width of the base 22 , Due to the small depth dimension, the stripline 18 be somewhat flexible, which facilitates their handling. The width of the base 22 is sufficient to the juxtaposition of the two thin, band-shaped electrical conductors 23a , b allow close to each other. The ladder 23a , b, for example, thin copper sheets, are in the front surface 26 Preferably recessed slightly recessed, to provide a certain contact protection.

The handling and operation of the electrification system described so far will be described below with further reference to the 11 - 13 to be discribed. The electrification system 17 can be used as follows:

It is believed that the lamp 16 on the lower surface 11 of the shelf 6 to 1 and 2 on the hanging and / or shelving system 1 should be operated and the shelf 6 not yet on the system 1 is mounted. Unless already done, the stripline 18 on a wall element of the shelving system 1 , for example, along the left edge of the rear wall 4 by gluing, screwing, by means of a magnet or in any other way, as described above, attached. Furthermore, the power take-off module 19 at the lower surface 11 of the shelf 6 mounted in such a convenient location that when the shelf 6 on the shelving system 1 is attached, the front 32 with the tap contacts 48a , b of the strip line 18 is arranged opposite. If the shelf 6 As mentioned above, is formed of metal that is magnetizable, the current collection module 19 by means of the magnet 42 at the top 34b of the housing 28 on the lower surface 11 of the shelf 6 be mounted quickly and easily, with the U-profile or groove section 9 of the shelf 6 in the recess 39 of the power take-off module 19 is recorded. This condition is in 11 illustrated.

Unless already done, the light can 16 over the connection cable 21 that fits into one of the sockets 49a-c is plugged in, with the power take-off module 19 be electrically connected. Subsequently, the shelf 6 on the shelving system 1 to be assembled. For this purpose, the angle brackets are in the usual way 13a . 13b on which the shelf 6 is mounted in the slots 3 the shelf rails 2a , b, which correspond to the desired height hung. In general, the angle brackets 13a . 13b with their engagement hooks 14 in a slightly downward position in the slots 3 inserted and then pivoted down until the brackets are supported against the shelf rails. When pivoting down the tap contacts come 48a , b, which in the initial state after 11 farthest over the front 32 of the power take-off module 19 protrude, with the associated ladders 23a , b are in contact and are replaced by this against the spring force of the elastic wire pieces 54a . 54b pressed into the housing 28 inside. Due to the slightly inclined alignment of the first end sections 56a . 56b and the rounded shape of the tap contacts 48a . 48b These are loaded with inwardly and downwardly facing force components, resulting in that they are around the first connecting sections 58a . 58b to be pivoted around. The tap contacts 48a , b are not substantially bent here, but essentially as a one-armed lever around serving as the axis of rotation first connecting portions 58a , b pivoted, which are largely clamped between the housing parts 29, 31. However, a slight bowing may occur between the second connecting portion 59a , b and the first end section 56a , b of each piece of wire 54a , b occur. Anyway, the tap contacts 48a , b through the ladder 43a , b starting from the first extreme position in which they farthest out of the case 28 sticking outward like in 11 illustrated, very far back and in the case 28 pressed into a second extreme position, where they are not or barely over the front 32 of the housing 28 sticking outward like in 12 illustrated.

The configuration according to the invention with the tap contacts designed as lever arms 48a . 48b , which are pivotable about the axes of rotation 58a, 58b around, has very large strokes in the front to the front 32 vertical direction result, which allow large clearances between a shelf or support element and the rear wall or to bridge a wall element. The strokes can be at least 6-8 mm. The groove 44 in the front 32 of the power take-off module 19 can further increase these strokes, because the stripline 18 between the side bars 46a . 46b that the groove 44 limit, can be included, so that the current collection module 19 even closer to the back wall 4 can be positioned. With the groove 44 can the strokes that the tap contacts 48a . 48b may be 10 mm or more. Such large strokes or suspensions can compensate for large differences or margins that may be due to different existing models of shelves and other support elements.

Thus, simultaneously with the hanging of the shelves 6 with the angle brackets 13a . 13b in the respective slots 3 the electrical contact between the electrical conductors 43a, b of the stripline 18 and the tap contacts 48a , b, whereby the respective circuit is closed, to which the pieces of wire 54a . 54b , the conductor wire arrangements 61a . 61b , the connection line 21 and the light 16 or any other electrical or electronic device.

The shelf 6 can also be quickly and easily unhooked and at a different height on the shelving system 1 be hooked, and when unmounting the Abgriffkontakte automatically from the housing 28 spring out, so by the spring force from the housing 28 be pivoted outwards, with the contact between these and the electrical conductors 22a . 22b is interrupted. When suspended at a different height, the contact is made automatically again in the same way as described above, without any human intervention.

The power take-off module according to the invention can also be attached to already mounted shelves by this to the stripline 18 pressed down, then moved upwards until it is with the lower surface 11 of the metal shelf 6 comes into contact and adheres to the magnet by this. Before or after the connection cable can 21 the light 16 at the power take-off module 19 be connected. The electrification system 17 Can be quickly and easily retrofitted to existing hanging / shelving systems.

Numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. For example. can the case 28 of the power take-off module 19 be formed differently and adapted to the respective support element of the hanging and / or shelving system. It can not only tray-shaped support elements, such as the shelf 6 but also carrier arms, baskets or the like. Used and with the electrification system according to the invention 17 be equipped. Optionally, the shape of the housing 28 to adapt to the support element.

The hanging and / or shelving system does not have to be in the form of a shelving system 1 be formed with slotted shelf rail, but can be formed by any piece of furniture, a presentation wall, which can also use support rails or sockets for support elements. However, the rails or sockets are not the electrification. According to the invention, the stripline 18 not in the interior of a shelf rail, not in the interior of a support rail and also not arranged in the interior of a socket, but flat on the outside of a wall element, for example on the rear wall 4 of the hanging and / or shelving system 1 , attached, which significantly simplifies the manufacturing and assembly costs.

The electrification system according to the invention 17 uses only a stripline 18 , for example, on the back wall 4 of the hanging and / or shelving system 1 is attached, and an associated power take-off module 19 , the only on the support element, for example. The shelf 6 , the hanging and / or shelving system 1 is attached. The power take-off module 19 has no fixing means to on the wall element, for example. The rear wall 4 , the hanging and / or shelving system 1 or to be attached to the stripline 18. The power take-off module 19 is only about the contact between the Abgriffkontakten 48a , b and the electrical conductors 23a , b of the stripline 18 in contact with this. The power take-off module 19 also does not serve the mechanical security of the support element, eg the shelf 6 , on the shelving system 1 , eg the shelf rail 2a B.

The stripline 18 can be attached to any wall element of the hanging and / or shelving system 1 be mounted, which is arranged vertically or obliquely and can also be kinked, bent or complex. 14 shows an embodiment of the invention, which can be used when the hanging and / or shelving system no integrated back wall 4 having. In this case, a separate wall element 71 as it is in 14 is illustrated, in addition to the hanging and / or shelving system 1 be provided. In the embodiment according to 14 can the wall element 71 for example, a first end 72 have, which may be formed at least in sections with hooks not shown here, in order to get into some of the slots 3 the shelf rail 2 to be hooked. The wall element 71 can optionally be bent several times to come up with a second free end 73 additionally against the shelf rail 2 support, to form a stable arrangement, even if the power take-off module 19 against the stripline 18 and the wall element 71 suppressed. The stripline 18 is on an outer surface 5 in a middle section 74 of the wall element 71 arranged so that they after mounting of the support element 6 with the attached current collection module 19 the Abgriffkontakten 48a , b is opposite.
