Abstract

The invention relates to a shelving system (1) comprising at least one rear wall (2), at least two supports (4) reversibly fixed to the rear wall (2) and at least one shelf (3) mounted on the supports (4), wherein the width of the rear wall (2) and the shelf (3) is independently adjustable variably. As a result, the shelves (3), if necessary, also protrude beyond the width of the rear wall (2). Such a shelf system (1) can particularly efficiently use the space available in the checkout area.

Description

The invention is based on a customizable shelving system according to the preamble of independent claim 1.

Such shelving systems are used in particular in the cashier area of a supermarket. The shelves of these shelving systems are usually equipped with so-called pulse products. The shelving systems have to be adapted to the individually available space in a particularly flexible manner.

State of the art

Cash desks are placed in supermarkets in various locations. The cash desks are usually equipped with goods conveyor belts of different lengths. Along the length of the goods conveyor belts, the shelving systems set up behind them also have to adapt.

The DE 20 2015 106 265 U1 shows a shelving system which can be used in the cashier area of a supermarket. Several shelves can be strung together and fixed together using so-called connectors. As a result, the shelving system can be optimally adapted to the available space.

A disadvantage of this shelving system, however, that different width rear walls and different width shelves must be available so that the shelving system can be adapted to different installation scenarios. As a result, a large inventory of components for the shelving system is necessary.

task

The object of the invention is to propose a shelving system, which can be flexibly adapted to the local conditions of a checkout area while keeping the number of necessary components for the shelving system as small as possible. As a result, the assembly costs can be significantly reduced.

The object is solved by the subject matter of independent claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

The shelf system according to the invention consists of at least one rear wall, at least two carriers reversibly fixed to the rear wall and at least one shelf, which is mounted on the carriers. The width of the rear wall and the shelf can be set independently variable. The width of the shelves and the width of the rear wall may differ. The shelves can protrude beyond the width of the rear wall, for example.

Due to the independent adjustability of shelves and rear wall, installation space in the checkout area can be used particularly efficiently. With the shelf system proposed here, the number of pulse products in the cash register area can be significantly increased.

In the shelf system proposed here, essentially only a rear wall, a shelf and the matching support needs to be produced. With these three components, of course in varying numbers, in principle any available space in the cash register area can be filled with a shelving system without losing space. As a result, not only can more pulse products be accommodated, in addition the cash register area is visually appealing by the cash system according to the invention.

In an advantageous variant of the invention, the rear wall consists of two elements, which are designed to be pushed into one another and pulled apart. As a result, the width of the rear wall can be variably adjusted.

Advantageously, the shelf consists of two flat elements, which are designed to be telescopically and pulled apart. The elements are each designed as a planar component, wherein the ends of the long sides are bent once upwards and once downwards. The bent areas form a U-profile in cross-section. The U-profile of one element is inserted into the U-profile of the other element. As a result, the shelf can be changed in its width.

In a very particularly preferred variant of the invention, the carrier consists of two mutually displaceable parts. As a result, the shelf mounted on two carriers can be moved perpendicular to the rear wall. The shelf can be pulled away by the carrier from the rear wall or pushed towards the back wall. As a result, the depth of the shelf can be variably adjusted. Product packaging that has a greater depth can still be efficiently stored on the shelf. These products are, for example, cigarette tubes, which are housed in particularly deep packaging.

The shelving system according to the invention can be easily adapted to new spatial conditions. In a fairly common Conversion in the checkout area, the shelving system can be easily adapted to the new spatial conditions and reused. This gives the new shelving system added customer value.

The elements of the back wall and the elements of the shelf are made of sheet steel in a stamping and bending process. Subsequently, the molded elements are powder coated. As a result, the shelving system is mechanically strong and particularly durable.

The 1 shows a shelving system 1 , which is situated in the cash register area of a supermarket. This in 1 Shelving system shown 1 is already known from the prior art.

An inventive shelving system 1 is in 2 shown. The shelving system can, as in 1 shown in an analogous manner to a cash desk mounted or integrated therein. The shelving system according to the invention 1 consists of at least one back wall 2 and shelves attached to it 3. The shelves 3 are made using girders 4 on the back wall 2 held.

The carriers 4 are unilateral with slightly curved gripping arms 5 fitted. The gripping arms 5 can in designated recesses 6 the back wall 2 intervention. This allows the wearer 4 perpendicular from the back wall 2 detached from the same be fixed. The carriers 4 are designed in two parts, with the two parts 4.1 and 4.2 over long holes 7 and wing nuts 8th are mounted to each other displaceable. The shelves 3 become on carrier arms 9 the carrier 4 supported and via a gripper arm 10 on the back wall 2 fixed. Due to the axial displacement of the carrier 4 can the shelves 3 from the back wall 2 in the direction of the double arrow 12 pulled away and again to the back wall 2 be pushed. The path length of the displaceability corresponds to the length of the long hole 7 , A length of the oblong holes of up to 50 mm has proven to be particularly advantageous. Ideally, the adjustment range is between 5 mm and 50 mm, with the border areas being included.

The back wall 2 is in sections in 9 shown. The back wall 2 consists essentially of two rectangular elements 2.1 and 2.2 , The Elements 2.1 and 2.2 are each folded on the narrow sides and can along these folds in the direction of the double arrow 11 be pushed together and pulled apart. This allows the width of the back wall 2 be set variably.

A shelf 3 is in perspective 5 and cut in 6 shown. The shelf 3 consists essentially of two rectangular elements 3.1 and 3.2 , The Elements 3.1 and 3.2 are on the long sides each to a U-profile 14 folded. The bends are each directed opposite. About the bends are the elements 3.1 and 3.2 slidably connected. The Elements 3.1 and 3.2 can along the double arrow 13 be moved. This allows the width of the shelf 3 be set variably.

The width of the shelf 3 can be independent of the width of the back wall 2 be set. In 3 For example, it can be seen that at uniform width of the rear wall 2 , three different width shelves 3 . 3 ' . 3 ' on the back wall 2 can be arranged or fixed. The shelves can project laterally up to 160 mm above the rear wall or its edge.

In addition, the shelves can 3 be moved to different levels in the picture plane. As a result, packaged goods of different depths can be stored equally in the shelving system.

In the 10 and 11 is an alternative embodiment of the shelving system according to the invention 1' shown. This shelving system 1' has the further advantage that the back walls 2 flush with the legs 15 complete the shelving system. The back walls 2 do not need additional space in depth.

To make a flush mounting of the rear wall 2 to realize are on the legs 15 U-shaped adapter profiles 16 intended. The adapter profiles 16 have recesses (not visible), in which the rear walls 2 inserted and - analogous to the first embodiment - can be fastened or locked.
If a shelving system 1 should not be fully occupied with back walls are according to cross struts 17 intended. The cross struts 17 can, analogous to the back walls 2 , along the double arrow 11 be moved in their width. This allows the shelving system 1' individually adapted to the available space.

Although various aspects or features of the invention are shown in combination in the figures, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art, unless stated otherwise, that the combinations illustrated and discussed are not the only ones possible. In particular, corresponding units or feature complexes from different embodiments can be exchanged with one another.
