DE2639658A1 - Shelf support with uprights and metal joints - has specially dimensioned recesses in joint for space-saving and one-sided attachment to upright - Google Patents

Abstract

The shelf support comprises upright stands or struts (9) and U-shaped sheet metal elements which have downwardly aligned parallel arms (2) which have incisions (4) which are open at the bottom for support on a horizontal edge of a corresponding opening in the upright. The upright sections (5, 6) which define the incisions (4) in the arms (2) are unequal in length wherein the section (5) facing the arm joint (3) is longer than the opposite section (6). The distance (B) between the lower end of the shorter section and the base of the incision (7) which is open to the top corresponds to the internal diameter of the opening in the upright wall (9). Since the connection between the arm and the shelf support is only on one side the uprights can be placed close the wall.

Shelf supports

The innovation relates to a shelf support for a plug-in shelving system with vertical post walls, consisting of a U-shaped bent sheet metal part with essentially after Legs running parallel at the bottom, a horizontally arranged leg connection to the shelf support, open at the bottom Incisions in the legs as a support on a horizontal edge of a corresponding opening in the wall of the post and Upwardly open incisions for threading and for absorbing the tilting moment.

A shelf support of this type is already known from German patent specification 1,174,027. This known shelf support is essentially formed from a downwardly open U, the downwardly pointing legs of this U being provided with incisions from above, which are suitable for threading into corresponding openings in a vertical post wall. The upwardly open incisions are opposed to smaller downwardly open incisions, which are supported on the lower edge of the opening in the post wall. This known shelf support is symmetrical and suitable for receiving shelf on both sides of the post wall. It protrudes correspondingly far on both sides of the post wall.

It is the task of the present innovation to create a floor support, which can also be used for very small wall distances of the post wall, a secure, large-area support of the shelf is guaranteed and easy to assemble,

809810/0253

This object was achieved according to the innovation in that the delimiting the downwardly open incisions in the legs vertical sections are designed to be of unequal length, the section facing the leg connection is designed to be longer than the opposite section and the distance between the lower end of the shorter section and the bottom of the open-topped one Incision corresponds to the clear width of the opening in the post wall. Due to the one-sided arrangement of a leg connection for the shelf support there is the possibility of using the shelf supports even if the wall distance from the post wall is very small to be able to use. Furthermore, the unequal length allows the vertical sections in the legs of the Shelf support a very simple and safe assembly, whereby the shelf support neither by its own weight nor by its weight of a shelf can accidentally fall through the corresponding opening in the post wall. The distance between the lower end of the shorter section and the bottom of the upwardly open incision corresponds to the clear one Width of the opening in the wall of the post, i.e. the clear width the wall of the post is slightly larger,

It is also proposed that the openings in the post wall are designed as perpendicular slots, each of which has a width of at least twice the wall thickness of the legs of the shelf support and their horizontal center-to-center distance to the horizontal center-to-center distance of the legs is equivalent to. In this way, it is possible to arrange shelf supports at the same height on both sides of a post and with To equip the slots in the posts from both sides with a single shelf support model * This is a great advantage It is important to note that the two slots in the post walls can be made relatively narrow and thus the post wall only insignificantly weaken by the material remaining between the slots.

The innovation is based on the configuration shown in the drawings

Fig. 4 is a view of a post,

Fig. 1 shows the section I-I through a shelf support. One leg 2 is shown in a view through the section. Of the Leg 2 has at its lower left end an incision 4 which is delimited by two vertical sections 5 and 6 will. The distance between the two sections 5 and 6 from one another corresponds approximately to the material thickness of the post wall. The section 5, which faces the leg connection 3, is longer than the section 6. Below the leg connection 3 and approximately vertically above the incision 4 there is an incision 7 ″ which is open at the top. This incision 7 is used for threading of the shelf support 1 in the corresponding slots of the post wall, the bottom of the incision 7 faces towards the the lower end of the section 6 at a distance B. This distance B is the same or slightly smaller than the height of the Slots 10 in the post 9. The leg connection 3 runs in mounted state horizontally and has an upwardly angled pin 8 on the side facing away from the post. This Pin is used to fix the position of the shelf,

FIG. 2 shows the top view according to FIG. 1, here it is as a support serving leg connection 3 can be seen with its relatively large area. The two legs 2 protrude into the area required for assembly Area beyond the leg connection 3. Both Legs are congruent and have the incisions 7. The pin "8 is perpendicular from the plane of the leg connection 3 hewn out upwards.

Fig. 3 shows the view of the shelf support 1 from the front. The two legs 2 run parallel downwards and have a Material thickness C on, the center-to-center distance of the two legs 2 is with

A denotes. The pin 8 on the leg connection 3 points upwards.

Fig. 4 shows the Ahschnitt of a post 9, which in usual Way is L-shaped. For fastening the shelf supports 9 slots 10 are arranged in the post, their center distance the dimension A. The height of the slots is B and their width corresponds with D at least twice the value of the material thickness C of the legs of the shelf supports. The edge 11 of each of the slots 10 forms the support for the incisions 4 of the shelf supports 1.

The mode of operation of the shelf support in connection with the post is as follows: By the arrangement of the slots 10 in the Post 9 at a distance A corresponding to the center-to-center distance of the legs 2 of the shelf supports 1 and the design of the slots 10 with a width D at least corresponding to twice the material thickness C of the legs 2, there is the possibility of optional to mount each shelf support from both sides of the post 9 in the slots 10 or from both sides at the same time. This ensures that, in the former case, the post 9 can be placed fairly close to a wall or that there are no disruptive ones To have parts of the shelf support protruding on the opposite side and at the same time there is the possibility of to attach shelves from both sides using the same shelf supports and the same posts. In such a case the opposing shelf supports 1 are laterally offset by the material thickness of their legs 2. The assembly a shelf support takes place in such a way that the incision 7 is first introduced into the slots 10 and the shelf support so far is moved upwards until the bottom of the incision 7 rests against the upper limit of the slots 10. Then it will be the shelf support is pivoted with its lower part into the slots 10 until the section 5 of the incision is in contact 4 on the wall of the post 9. By lowering the shelf

The base of the incision 4 comes to rest on the edge 11 of the slot 10. This secures the shelf support and able to absorb a load, by the moment resulting from its own weight and later by the load of the shelf, the shelf support remains in its position and cannot easily be unhooked by accidentally bumping into it. By choosing a correspondingly wide distance A, it is possible for the leg connection 3 to have a correspondingly large area designed to ensure a secure support for a shelf. Nevertheless, the post 9 is not significantly weakened, since the material between the slots 10 remains.
