Description

The invention relates to a holding device for attaching an insert part to a shelf post according to the preamble of claim 1, a shelf post for attaching an insert part thereto according to claim 14 and a shelf system according to claim 19.

State of the art according to EP 3 569 108 A1 is a shelving system for installation in a vehicle with vertical shelf posts and insert parts arranged horizontally between the shelf posts. In the shelving system, fastening elements are inserted into the shelf posts and pressed into holes in the shelf posts at a desired height and secured to the shelf post by the action of a spring or by screwing. To attach the insert parts to the shelf post, the insert parts have recesses on their underside in the form of a T-shaped groove into which the fastening elements fixed to the shelf post can engage. In addition, the insert parts are secured by screws which are screwed into the fastening elements from the inside of the insert parts.

Finally, from the further prior art, in particular outside the vehicle sector, shelves are known which have inserts between two vertical shelf posts, such as in particular shelves, drawers or trays, which are screwed to the shelf posts.

A disadvantage of the solutions known from the state of the art is that the secure attachment of insert parts, such as a shelf tray, a drawer or a cabinet insert, and in particular the removal and repositioning of the insert parts is cumbersome and time-consuming.

The task is therefore to provide a holding device for an insert part and a shelf post, which enables simple, quick and, in particular, safe attachment of the insert part to the shelf post and simple and quick release and repositioning of the insert part. The task also consists in providing a shelving system for installation in a vehicle for simple and safe attachment of an insert part to a shelf post.

This object is achieved with a holding device according to claim 1, a shelf post according to claim 14 and with a shelf system according to claim 19. Advantageous embodiments and expedient further developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

The holding device according to the invention for attaching an insert part, in particular a shelf tray, to a shelf post comprises a holding bracket that can be attached or is attached to the insert part with a first holding tongue for engaging in a first receiving opening in a rear area of a shelf post and with a second holding tongue for engaging in a second receiving opening in a front area of the shelf post. The shelf post is preferably a vertically upwardly projecting shelf post, the receiving openings of which are open at least substantially to the same side of the shelf post. The receiving openings are preferably essentially slot-shaped receiving openings, i.e. receiving openings whose length is a multiple of their width. The longitudinal directions of the slot-shaped receiving openings particularly preferably extend along the vertical longitudinal axis of the shelf post. The holding tongue preferably has a corresponding design for engaging in these essentially slot-shaped receiving openings. In particular, the first holding tongue and the second holding tongue have at least substantially the same orientation. The retaining tongues are particularly preferably arranged substantially parallel to one another. When the retaining bracket or the insert part having the retaining bracket is moved along an insertion direction, the retaining tongues can be inserted into the receiving openings of the shelf post. The insertion direction is in particular a direction running from the front area of the shelf post towards the rear area of the shelf post, preferably a direction running in the transverse direction of the shelf post. An insert part having the retaining bracket can thus be attached to a shelf post fixed to a floor by an operator from an externally accessible front side of the shelf post by inserting the retaining tongues into the receiving openings. The holding device also comprises a securing slide which is arranged on the retaining bracket so as to be displaceable between a securing position for securing the retaining bracket to the shelf post in a holding position in which the retaining tongues are in particular fully inserted into the receiving openings, and a release position for releasing the retaining bracket from the shelf post. In particular, the securing slide is arranged directly on the retaining bracket. Preferably, the securing slide is guided displaceably on the retaining bracket, in particular parallel to the insertion direction. The securing of the retaining bracket to the shelf post in the securing position is carried out by engaging the securing slide or a part thereof in the shelf post, in particular in one of the receiving openings of the shelf post, and/or by the securing slide resting on the shelf post. In particular, the securing slide arranged in the securing position prevents the retaining tongues from coming out of the receiving openings of the shelf post. The securing slide arranged in the securing position thus ensures that the retaining bracket or the insert part connected to it is attached to the shelf post in a way that prevents it from accidentally coming loose. By moving the securing slide into the release position, the retaining tongues of the retaining bracket can be easily and quickly removed from the receiving openings and the insert part can therefore be released from the shelf post. In particular, repositioning an insert part attached to the shelf post and securing the insert part in the new position is possible in a quick and advantageous manner. In particular, complex screwing to securely fix the insert part to the shelf post is not necessary.

The retaining bracket is preferably a curved retaining bracket with retaining tongues having the same orientation at opposite ends. It is particularly preferably a one-piece retaining bracket, in particular a curved retaining plate or a curved retaining strip. In an advantageous embodiment, the retaining bracket can comprise a fastening section for arrangement on an insert part, at one end of which the first retaining tongue is arranged, in particular protruding from the fastening section, and at the other end of which a substantially U-shaped section having the second retaining tongue is arranged. The above-mentioned embodiments provide a particularly stable and easy-to-manufacture design of the retaining bracket.

In an advantageous embodiment, the retaining tongues are parallel to an arrangement surface over which the retaining bracket is arranged on an insert part, in particular parallel to the fastening section. The retaining tongues are preferably arranged offset from one another with respect to the arrangement surface of the retaining bracket, in particular such that the second retaining tongue engaging in a front receiving opening of the shelf post is arranged further away from the arrangement surface than the first retaining tongue engaging in a rear receiving opening of the shelf post. The described embodiments make it possible to insert the retaining tongues into the receiving openings of the shelf post in a simple and advantageous manner when the insert part having the retaining bracket is moved along the insertion direction.

The second retaining tongue preferably has a locking receptacle for receiving a web of the shelf post that delimits the second receiving opening. The locking receptacle, which is arranged in particular on an underside of the second retaining tongue, serves specifically to receive a web that delimits the second receiving opening on the underside. To lock the web in the locking receptacle, the retaining bracket is moved downwards into the holding position of the retaining bracket essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction when the retaining tongues are fully inserted into the receiving openings. When the web is locked in the locking receptacle, it is not possible to move the retaining bracket against the insertion direction. To remove the retaining bracket from this holding position, the retaining bracket must first be moved upwards essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction in order to remove the web from the locking receptacle. By moving the safety slide into the safety position, especially by engaging the safety slide or part of it in the shelf post, this upward movement of the retaining bracket and thus the removal of the web from the locking receptacle can be prevented, whereby the retaining bracket is secured in the holding position. Before the web is removed from the locking receptacle, the safety slide must be moved into the release position. The design of the retaining bracket with the second retaining tongue having the locking receptacle and the corresponding design of the safety slide ensure that the retaining bracket is securely attached in the holding position, which prevents the retaining bracket from accidentally coming loose from the shelf post.

In an advantageous embodiment, the first retaining tongue has an upper retaining tongue part for engaging in an upper receiving opening and a lower retaining tongue part for engaging in a lower receiving opening of a shelf post having a plurality of first receiving openings. Alternatively or additionally, the second retaining tongue can have an upper retaining tongue part for engaging in an upper receiving opening and a lower retaining tongue part for engaging in a lower receiving opening of a shelf post having a plurality of second receiving openings. The first/second receiving openings are preferably adjacent receiving openings separated from one another by a web, wherein the web is introduced into a recess between the retaining tongue parts when the retaining tongue parts are inserted into the receiving openings. The two-part design of the first and/or second retaining tongue engaging in two first and/or two second receiving openings provides a more stable arrangement of the retaining bracket on the shelf post compared to a retaining tongue engaging in only one receiving opening.

The safety slide is preferably arranged in the area of the second retaining tongue and is guided so that it can move on the retaining bracket. The safety slide is particularly preferably guided on the retaining bracket so that it can move, in particular in a straight line, in the direction of the first retaining tongue or away from it. In particular, the safety slide is guided so that it can move parallel to an arrangement surface of the retaining bracket on an insert part or parallel to the insertion direction. In an advantageous embodiment, the safety slide has an actuating means, in particular a handle or an opening, for moving the safety slide from the securing position to the release position and/or back. The aforementioned displaceably guided arrangement of the safety slide and the provision of the actuating means enable the safety slide to be moved easily and advantageously from the securing position to the release position and/or back.

The safety carriage is preferably pre-tensioned with respect to the retaining bracket. For example, a tension or compression spring can be arranged between the retaining bracket and the safety carriage. The basic or starting position of the safety carriage is preferably the securing position. To move the safety carriage from the securing position to the release position, an external force must be applied against the spring. The spring pre-tension in the securing position ensures that the safety carriage is moved to the securing position and held in this position when the retaining bracket is arranged on the shelf post in the holding position.

In an advantageous embodiment, the securing slide has a securing lug which, in the securing position, engages in a receiving opening of the shelf post when a retaining bracket is attached to the shelf post in the holding position. In particular, the securing lug can engage in a second receiving opening of the shelf post. The securing lug is particularly preferably arranged directly above the second retaining tongue or an upper retaining tongue part of the second retaining tongue. In the securing position, the securing lug engages specifically in the same receiving opening into which the second retaining tongue or the retaining tongue part also engages. This provides a simple and reliable securing of the second retaining tongue or the retaining tongue part in the second receiving opening, especially in the above-described embodiment of the second retaining tongue with a locking receptacle for receiving a web delimiting the second receiving opening on the underside.

In an advantageous embodiment, the safety carriage has a contact section for contact with the shelf post for clamping the safety carriage in the securing position between the shelf post and the retaining bracket and/or the insert part. The contact section is preferably designed as a contact slope, so that when the safety carriage is moved into the securing position, the safety carriage is increasingly clamped between the shelf post and the retaining bracket or the insert part. By clamping the safety carriage or a part thereof, the shelf post and the retaining bracket attached to it are braced, which on the one hand prevents or at least makes it more difficult for the retaining bracket to be accidentally moved against the insertion direction. In particular, this prevents the insert part from wobbling, which occurs, for example, due to play between the retaining bracket and the shelf post or specifically between the receiving openings and the retaining tongues inserted into them. This is particularly advantageous when using the shelving system consisting of shelf posts and insert part with holding device in a vehicle, so that the insert part is securely attached to the shelf post, especially when the vehicle is moving and there is any wobble.

The invention further relates to an insert part, in particular a shelf tray with at least one holding device as described above arranged thereon. The insert part preferably has two holding devices on opposite side parts of the insert part, via which the insert part can be attached to two shelf posts of a shelf. The holding bracket is preferably welded, riveted, screwed, glued or otherwise attached to the insert part. Alternatively, it is also possible for the holding bracket to be formed integrally with the insert part or a part of the insert part, in particular a side part. This ensures that the holding bracket is attached to the insert part securely and in a load-bearing manner.

The invention also relates to a shelf post for attaching an insert part with a holding device described above. The shelf post is preferably an extruded profile. In particular, the shelf post has the same cross-sectional profile from its lower to its upper end. In particular, the shelf post is intended for standing arrangement on a floor, for example for attachment to a vehicle floor. In this vertical arrangement of the shelf post, the longitudinal axis of the shelf post runs along the vertical and the transverse axis of the Shelf post runs along the horizontal. The shelf post comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, a first or front end wall connecting the side walls and a second or rear end wall connecting the side walls. The first side wall is in particular the side wall pointing in the direction of the insert part. According to the invention, the first side wall, in particular in the region of the second, rear end wall, has an outwardly projecting or protruding section with at least one first receiving opening, preferably a plurality of first receiving openings, arranged one above the other, in particular along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post, on the side pointing in the direction of the first, front end wall. The first end wall also has at least one second receiving opening, preferably a plurality of second receiving openings, arranged one above the other, in particular along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post. The receiving openings are preferably essentially slot-shaped receiving openings, the longitudinal directions of which extend along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post. In the described embodiment, the first and second receiving openings are open at least substantially to the same side, specifically to the first, front end wall of the shelf post. The receiving openings therefore preferably have at least substantially the same orientation. In particular, a retaining bracket or the retaining tongues of a retaining bracket are inserted into the receiving openings along an insertion direction that runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis or parallel to the transverse axis of the shelf post. In particular, the insert part is inserted from the first end wall of the shelf post that forms the front side. The aforementioned embodiment allows for simple and advantageous insertion of an insert part with a retaining bracket that has retaining tongues designed and arranged to match the receiving openings.

In an advantageous embodiment, the shelf post comprises a receiving groove or a receiving channel having the first receiving openings and/or the second receiving openings. The retaining tongues of a retaining bracket can be introduced through the receiving openings into the receiving groove and received by it. The receiving groove extends in particular along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post. Adjacent receiving openings of the receiving grooves are separated from one another by a web. As a result, the receiving openings are each delimited by a web on the underside and the top side, as seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shelf post, in addition to the lateral limitation by the side surfaces of the receiving grooves. The receiving openings and the retaining tongues of a retaining bracket suitable for attaching an insert part to the shelf post are preferably designed to correspond to one another, specifically for inserting the retaining tongues through the receiving openings and for receiving the retaining tongues in the receiving grooves. The receiving openings are limited on all sides, so that movement of the retaining tongues inserted into them is limited or can be limited, especially by the above-described insertion of a safety lug of a safety slide arranged on the retaining bracket. In particular, the webs that limit the receiving openings can also be inserted into a locking receptacle of the retaining tongues, which prevents the retaining bracket from moving in the opposite direction to the insertion direction.

The first side wall preferably has a contact section that tapers diagonally in the direction of the first end wall. In particular, the contact section tapers diagonally in the direction of the front of the shelf post and forms an angle with the insertion direction. In particular, the contact section of the securing slide described above can rest against the slanted contact section of the shelf post. In particular, when the securing slide is moved into the securing position, the contact section is guided along the contact section of the first side wall and is increasingly pressed against it. The securing slide is increasingly clamped between the contact section of the first side wall and the insert part or the retaining bracket and presses them apart. The design of the first side wall with the slanted contact section is advantageous for easy movement of the securing slide into the securing position and promotes the bracing of the insert part and the shelf post against each other. The safety slide, which is clamped between the first side wall and the insert part or the retaining bracket, prevents the retaining bracket from being accidentally removed from the shelf post. It also prevents the insert part from wobbling, which can occur, for example, due to play in the retaining tongues inserted into the receiving openings.

In an advantageous embodiment, the second side wall, which in particular points away from the insert part or points outwards, and/or the rear, second end wall has a holding receptacle. The holding receptacles can in particular be holding grooves and/or holding receptacle openings for attaching further insert components to the shelf post, such as for hanging a tool bag on the shelf post. However, a smooth or closed design of the second Side wall and/or rear bulkhead possible.

The invention further relates to a shelving system for installation in a vehicle. The shelving system comprises at least one shelf post as described above and an insert part, in particular a shelf tray, with a holding device as described above. The shelving system preferably has two shelf posts, in particular two shelf posts that are essentially mirror images of each other, with first, inner side walls facing each other. The insert part comprises a holding device on two opposite side parts facing the inner side walls, via which the insert part is or can be securely attached to the shelf post.

In a preferred embodiment of the shelving system, the securing slide, in particular the securing slide which is spring-loaded in the securing position as the basic or starting position, is moved into the release position when the retaining tongues of the retaining bracket are pushed into the receiving openings of the shelf post. This can be done in particular by part of the securing slide resting on the shelf post, specifically by a securing lug of the securing slide resting on a web delimiting the receiving openings. Moving the securing slide into the release position allows the retaining tongues to be pushed into the receiving openings without hindrance. The spring-loaded preload of the securing slide automatically moves the securing slide into the securing position, in particular when the retaining tongues are fully inserted into the receiving openings, and thus automatically secures the retaining bracket to the shelf post. An external force must be applied to move the locking slide, which is pre-tensioned in the locking position, into the release position. The aforementioned spring pre-tensioning of the locking slide thus prevents the insert part attached to the shelf post from being accidentally released in a simple and reliable manner.

In an advantageous embodiment, the securing slide can only be brought into the securing position when a web delimiting the second receiving opening is locked into a locking receptacle of the second retaining tongue or a retaining tongue part of the second retaining tongue. The securing slide preferably has a securing lug and the second receiving openings of the shelf post are designed to receive the securing lug when the retaining tongues of the retaining bracket are fully inserted. The securing lug is particularly preferably a securing lug arranged above the second retaining tongue or an upper retaining tongue part thereof, which can be introduced into a receiving opening together with the second retaining tongue or the retaining tongue part. The aforementioned embodiments ensure that the retaining bracket is advantageously secured to the shelf post.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the shelving system, the safety carriage is arranged in the safety position with the retaining bracket arranged in the holding position between the first side wall of the shelf post and the retaining bracket and/or the insert part in a clamped manner. This results in the advantages mentioned above, especially the arrangement of the insert part on the shelf post which is secured against wobbling.

On the front end wall 4, the shelf post 1 has a channel or a receiving groove 10 running vertically or along the longitudinal axis L of the shelf post 1 with a plurality of slot-shaped second receiving openings 11 arranged one above the other. Adjacent second receiving openings 11 are each separated from one another by a web 12. As in 2 As can be seen, the first receiving openings 8 extending in the longitudinal direction L and the second receiving openings 11 have essentially the same alignment or orientation. In particular, the receiving openings 8, 11 point in the direction of the first end wall 4 of the shelf post 1, which forms the front side. On the second side wall 3 and on the second or rear end wall 5, the shelf post 1 further has holding receptacles 13, 14, in particular holding grooves and/or holding receiving openings, via which, for example, insert components can be hung on the shelf post 1. However, other designs of the second side wall 3 and the rear side wall 5 are also possible, in particular differently designed and/or arranged holding receptacles 13, 14.

3 shows a section of a shelf tray 15 from 1 in perspective view with a view of a side part 19. A side view of the shelf tray 15 from 1 is in 4 shown. On the side part 19 is the 1 shown holding device 20, via which the shelf tray 15 is attached to the shelf post 1. The holding device 20 comprises a holding bracket 21 fastened to the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 and a securing slide 32 movably guided on the holding bracket 21. The holding bracket 21 is in this case a one-piece, curved holding bracket 21. The elongated holding bracket 21 is screwed to the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 via a straight fastening section 22, which forms an arrangement surface on the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15. On the in 3 rear and in 4 At its left end, the retaining bracket 21 has a first or rear retaining tongue 23 protruding from the fastening section 22. The first retaining tongue 23 has specifically an upper retaining tongue part 24 and a lower retaining tongue part 25, which are separated by a recess 26. The retaining tongue parts 23, 25 are, as described in detail below with reference to 5 described, for intervention in two in 2 shown, adjacent first receiving openings 8 of the shelf post 1. The web 9 separating the adjacent receiving openings 8 can be arranged in the recess 26. On the opposite, in 3 front and in 4 At its right end, the retaining bracket 21 has a substantially U-shaped or arcuate section (not shown), at the end of which there is a second or front retaining tongue 27. Analogous to the first retaining tongue 23, the second retaining tongue 27 also has an upper retaining tongue part 28 and a lower retaining tongue part 29, which are separated by a recess 30. Corresponding to the retaining tongue parts 23, 25 of the first retaining tongue 23, the retaining tongue parts 28, 29 of the second retaining tongue 27 are designed to engage in adjacent second receiving openings 11 of the shelf post 1, wherein the web 12 separating the adjacent receiving openings 11 can be arranged in the recess 30. The upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27 has an insertion bevel which ends in a locking receptacle 31. The locking receptacle 31 serves to receiving a web 12 delimiting the second receiving opening 11. Correspondingly, the lower retaining tongue part 29 also has an inclined insertion surface that merges into a locking surface 31a for receiving a web 12. Due to the U-shaped bend of the retaining bracket 21, the first retaining tongue 23 and the second retaining tongue 27 or their retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 essentially point in the same direction, in particular in an insertion direction E. In particular, the retaining tongues 23, 27 are arranged parallel to the plane of the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 or to the contact surface of the retaining bracket 21 on the side part 19. As can be seen in particular from 3 As can be seen, the second retaining tongue 27 protrudes somewhat further from the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 or the fastening section 22 of the retaining bracket 21 than the first retaining tongue 23.

The 3 and 4 The safety slide 32 of the holding device 20 shown is arranged on the area of the holding bracket 21 having the second retaining tongue 27. In particular, the safety slide 32 has a 4 shown opening 36 through which the second retaining tongue 27 protrudes. As already mentioned, the safety slide 32 is movably attached to the retaining bracket 21. In particular, the safety slide 32 is guided movably on the retaining bracket 21 parallel to the fastening section 22 forming the arrangement surface on the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 along the insertion direction E. In particular, the safety slide 32 is between the in 3 and 4 shown safety position and a release position (not shown) in which the safety slide 32 is in 3 forward and in 4 to the right relative to the retaining bracket 21. Preferably, the safety slide 32 is spring-loaded in the 3 and 4 shown securing position is pre-tensioned relative to the retaining bracket 21, for example by arranging a compression or tension spring (not shown) between the securing slide 32 and the retaining bracket 21. The securing slide 32 has an actuating means 34 for moving the securing slide 32 into the release position or possibly back into the securing position. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the actuating means 34 is designed as a bore arranged in the front area of the securing slide 32. By introducing a pin-like actuating device into the actuating means 34 designed as a bore, the securing slide 32 can be pulled into the release position. In addition to the embodiment shown as an example, other designs of the actuating means 34 are also possible, such as a design as an actuating handle. At its rear end pointing in the direction of the first retaining tongue 23, the securing slide 32 has a tapered rearward-tapering bevel 33 for contact with the contact section 2b of the shelf post 1, described in detail below. The securing slide 32 also has a securing nose 36 guided above the upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27. The securing nose 36 serves, as will be explained below with reference to 5 is described in detail, for engaging in a second receiving opening 11 of a shelf post 1. In particular, the securing nose 35 serves to engage in a second receiving opening 11 together with the upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27.

In 5 a) to d) the installation of the shelf tray 15 from 1 sketched on a shelf post 1. 6 and 7 show a section of a shelf tray 15 attached to the shelf post 1 in a perspective view and in a side view.

As in 5 a) As shown, the shelf tray 15 is held at the desired height with the retaining tongues 23, 27 pointing in the direction of the receiving openings 8, 11 of the shelf post 1 by an operator and, as in 5b) is shown, along the insertion direction E, which in this case runs parallel to the transverse direction Q of the shelf post 1, towards the shelf post 1. As in 5c) As shown, the retaining tongues 23, 27 are inserted into the receiving opening 8, 11 when the shelf tray 15 is moved along the insertion direction E. Specifically, the retaining tongue parts 24, 25 of the first retaining tongue 23 are inserted into two adjacent first receiving openings 8 and the retaining tongue parts 28, 29 of the second retaining tongue 27 are inserted into two adjacent second receiving openings 11. The webs 9, 12 separating the adjacent receiving openings 8, 11 engage in the respective recesses 26, 30 between the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29. When the retaining tongues 23, 27 are inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11, the retaining lug 35 of the securing slide 32 initially rests against a web 12 delimiting the second receiving opening 11, specifically against the web 12 delimiting the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27 on the upper side. The insertion movement of the shelf tray 15 along the insertion direction E causes the securing slide 32 to be pushed into the 5c) In particular, the safety slide 32 is displaced from the position shown in 5 a) or 5 b) shown starting position, the securing position, to the right, i.e. opposite to the insertion direction, in relation to the retaining bracket 21. As soon as the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 are completely inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11, the webs 12 arranged below the retaining tongues 28, 29 and delimiting the second receiving openings 11 enter the locking receptacle 31 of the upper retaining tongue part 28 or the locking surface 31a of the lower retaining tongue part 29 or can be introduced into it, especially by moving the shelf tray 15 downwards essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction E. Especially when the web 12 delimiting the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28 on the underside engages in the locking receptacle 31, the securing nose 35 no longer rests against the web 12 delimiting the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28 on the top. Due to the spring-loaded arrangement of the securing slide 32 on the retaining bracket 21 in the securing position, the securing slide 32 is pushed into the 5d) shown securing position, whereby the securing lug 35 is also introduced into the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28. Due to the arrangement of the web 12 in the locking receptacle 31 and the introduction of the securing lug 35 into the receiving opening 11, it is not possible to remove the upper retaining tongue part 28 from this receiving opening 11. The retaining bracket 21 is thus in the 5d) shown holding position, in which the retaining tongues 23, 27 are completely inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11, secured against unintentional release by the safety slide 32.

As in particular in 5d) As shown, when the securing slide 32 is arranged in the securing position, the bevel 33 comes to rest on the contact section 2b of the first side wall 2 of the shelf post 1. The securing slide 32 presses against the shelf post 1 and the fastening section 22 of the holding bracket 21 arranged on the shelf tray 15 and is clamped between them. Depending on the design of the holding device 20, it is also possible, however, for the securing slide 32 to press directly against the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15. The described clamping arrangement of the securing slide 32 between the shelf post 1 and the shelf tray 15 specifically ensures a fixed arrangement of the shelf tray 15 on the shelf post 1 without any freedom of movement of the shelf tray 15 relative to the shelf post 1. This is particularly advantageous when using the shelving system in a vehicle in order to prevent the shelf tray 15 from wobbling while driving.

To release the shelf tray 15 from the shelf post 1, the safety slide 32 is released via the actuating means 34 from the 5d) shown safety position into the one in 5c) shown release position. The webs 12 are then disengaged from the locking receptacle 31 and the locking surface 31a by slightly lifting the shelf tray 15 essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction E and the shelf tray 15 is moved in the opposite direction to the insertion direction E. The released shelf tray 15 can then be attached and secured in a new position between the shelf posts 1.

It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown, specifically to the designs of the individual components shown therein and the sequence shown for attaching an insert part to a shelf post 1. It is possible, for example, for the securing slide 32 to be brought into the securing position manually in addition to or instead of a spring preload in the securing position.
