Description

The invention relates to a shelf module, usable in a shelf with at least one shelf and a shelf cover or at least a first and a second shelf side wall, with a flat non-elastic base plate having a front and a back, the shape of which substantially corresponds to the shape of Shelf corresponds to at least one clamping element which is provided at least on one side of the base plate, which prevents an inventive use of a shelf in an automatic changing the position position of the base plate.

Commonly known are open shelving systems, ie at the front without doors and at the back without rear walls, with any number of subjects, such as four, eight, sixteen compartments, which can be purchased in large furniture stores. These beautiful open shelves can be equipped on the front with separately available doors, which then at least at the front are closed. However, if you want to keep the open character of the shelf and still hide the wall behind the shelf or cables and the like, you need a rear wall, which would normally be screwed or nailed and actually not compatible with the character of the open shelving system is.

From the prior art, various arrangements are known to divide open shelves or shelves with inserts or visually upgrade.

For this example, the publication DE 20 2018 001 464 U1 referenced from a combined privacy shielding and dividing module for shelving systems is known, comprising a non-elastic base plate, at least one laterally attached to the base clamping edge, at least two mounted on opposite sides of the base plate depressions and / or handles and at least one laterally recessed joint and / or recess, wherein in the recess space for the clamping edge is provided.

Also known are storage boxes that can be used in these open shelving systems, these have the disadvantage that they must be taken out each time with the entire contents. Furthermore, doors or door inserts are known, which are either very expensive or must be bolted to the shelving system.

From the publication EN 20 2016 003 77 U1 Curtains or elastic covers are known, which have the disadvantage that they must also be firmly connected to the shelf.

Next are dividers from the publication DE 20 2014 000 387 U1 known, which only take over the task of sharing and are also firmly connected to the shelf, but do not provide privacy.

Both the dividers from the DE 20 2014 000 387 U1 as well as the screens from the EN 20 2016 003 77 U1 have the disadvantage that they can not divide the shelf continuously.

The problems in the prior art are essentially the attachment of compartment dividers, individually desired rear walls and / or veneers or shelf covers.

The present invention has for its object to provide a shelf module that can be used in any depth or in width, with further easy repositioning or removal should be possible.

This problem is solved with a shelf module according to the main claim.

The shelf module, usable in a shelf with at least one shelf and a shelf cover or at least a first and a second shelf side wall, has a flat non-elastic base plate with a front and a back, the shape of which substantially corresponds to the shape of the shelf , mostly rectangular or square. Next, the shelf module on at least one clamping element, which is provided at least on one side of the base plate, which prevents the inventive use in a shelf an automatic change in the position of the base plate, wherein the clamping element is a joint sealing profile with a foot and a sealing head wherein the sealing head is formed as a lip seal and / or as a hollow chamber seal and the clamping element is arranged with its foot on at least one side surface of the base plate.

In a particularly preferred embodiment variant, at least two clamping elements in the form of joint sealing profiles are provided. This makes it possible to achieve an ideal holding voltage. The at least two clamping elements can ideally be arranged opposite each other in this regard.

Also in a particularly preferred embodiment, the foot area at the Rear side of the flat base plate arranged so that the sealing head protrudes beyond the lateral edge of the base plate. Thus, the clamping element is virtually glued to the edge region of the back of the base plate with the foot area and fixed so that upon insertion of the sealing head is slightly deformed and simultaneously causes a holding voltage, so that the shelf module does not move by itself from the selected position.

Furthermore, at least the front and / or the back of the base plate can be printed, printed and / or graphically designed so that the front or the back with a pattern, a color, an image or a replica of a material, such as Wooden floor boards or the like may be provided. As a result, any number of customization options are conceivable.

The material of the joint sealing profiles may in particular be PVC, TPE, EPDM, PP and / or PU, wherein in the case of a material mixture the sealing profile is co-extruded, tri or multiple extruded.

Further, at least on one side from the front side to the rear side, a gripping recess or grip hole may be provided, but this is obligatory because the shelf module can also be simply pushed out either from the rear side or tilted by one-sided pressing so grab the shelf module and take out.

The material of the base plate is in particular selected from: organic polymers, polystyrene, XPS, polystyrene, wood, pressboard, rigid foam and / or cardboard.

Furthermore, in a special embodiment, two base plates, quasi back to back, are connected via a joint sealing profile with their backs, so that a shelf module forms, which is designed visually appealing from the front and from the back, the joint sealing profiles almost almost disappear and are virtually invisible.

With regard to the arrangement of the shelf module within a compartment of a shelf, the shelf module can be moved both as a rear wall, namely near the rear edge of the shelf, as quasi door replacement, namely in the front edge of the shelf, or in between, namely parallel in depth , Next, the shelf module can also be introduced parallel to the lateral shelf walls in the shelf, so that a subdivision of the shelf along the depth extent of the shelf is possible. In the latter embodiment variant, moreover, a lateral wall over the at least one, preferably two base plates could be arranged in such a way that the joint sealing profiles or clamping elements are substantially no longer visible.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the description of the figures, which are intended to illustrate the invention and are not to be considered as limiting:

• 1 die Vorderseite;
• 2 die Rückseite;
• 3 eine Seitenansicht und
• 4 die vorliegende Erfindung eingespannt in ein Fach.

Show it:

• 1 the front;
• 2 the backside;
• 3 a side view and
• 4 the present invention is clamped in a tray.

In 1 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the front of the shelf module shown. The shelf module consists of a base plate 1 and two joint sealing profiles 2 as clamping elements. Optionally also shown is a handle recess 3 , The size of the base plate is in this case chosen so that it can be easily in the corresponding compartment, which is to be equipped with this plate, can be introduced, at the same time only a subtle edge area arises.

2 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the back of the shelf module in which the arrangement of the joint sealing profiles 2 good to see.

In 3 is a schematic representation of an embodiment in side view of the shelf module shown, in which again exactly the position of the joint sealing profiles 2 is recognizable.

4 shows a schematic representation of the shelf module clamped in a compartment.

At this point should be mentioned again that the gripping recess / the handle hole 3 is only a possibility and not mandatory.
