Description

Shelving system

The invention relates to a shelving system, in particular for commercial or residential premises, consisting of at least two support elements which are arranged at an angle to the vertical and at a distance from one another determined by the system elements to be suspended, the system elements being held in the support elements by fastening means,

Shelving systems are known for the decorative design of shop windows and business premises or for residential purposes. These usually consist of vertically arranged supports and shelves or cupboard elements that can be hung. The number of supports is determined by the weight to be supported and the size of the shelves or cupboard elements, whereby the shelving systems can be screwed together or plug-in systems can be used. Depending on the depth and height of the shelf, this can lead to the center of gravity being very high and stability no longer being guaranteed. To remedy this, it is possible to secure the shelf by screwing it to the wall, which makes it difficult to replace or quickly convert the shelf. Shelves are also known that have slightly inclined supports and can be hung at the top into a steel profile that is firmly connected to the building. The steel profile can be attached to the wall or optionally to the ceiling. The additional assembly effort is correspondingly high and requires in any case an existing stable suspension profile in the corresponding rooms, which cannot be changed so easily in individual cases. When using the shelving system in business premises where the owner

If necessary, additional safety requirements must be met, with a higher load on the shelves and a constant fluctuation of goods, significantly higher demands must be placed on stability. Furthermore, it is necessary to arrange the goods in an attractive and clear manner in order to present customers with a diverse and yet manageable range of goods.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a shelving system which enables improved stability with minimal assembly and conversion effort.

According to the invention, to achieve the object, it is provided that the angle of inclination has a value of 10 to 20 degrees, preferably 11 to 12 degrees, and the support elements can be set up individually and freely, with at least one upper support surface being provided for support, and that the support elements have a left and/or right support strut at the upper and/or lower end, which are aligned in the direction of the adjacent support element.

By arranging the support elements at an angle of more than 15 degrees to the vertical with a support, for example, on a wall surface, the center of gravity of the entire shelving system is shifted from the outset in the direction of the supporting wall, thus guaranteeing significantly improved stability, with a support surface selected according to the load being arranged at the upper end and, together with the lateral support struts, further increasing stability. On the one hand, the support struts prevent the support elements from falling over during assembly as long as no system elements have been attached and, on the other hand, lead to a safe and surface-level load

of the substrate. Additional screwing or hanging into a pre-assembled rail system is not necessary.

The support elements are equipped with fasteners into which the system elements can be easily hung in a variable manner. The slanted arrangement of the support elements also results in a very eye-catching and attractive presentation of the goods. The assembly of the shelving system is also very user-friendly, as the individual support elements are supported against the wall and are almost immediately secured against accidental falling over. The support elements can be fitted with the various system elements either from below or from above, without any concerns about stability.

To avoid deflection of the support element and to increase the load-bearing capacity, it is intended that the support elements can have a support strut directed to the rear, which is connected to the support element and has a height-adjustable support foot at the opposite free end.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the support elements are hollow-walled and have a square, rectangular, oval or at least partially round cross-section and . the support elements are optionally designed to be open on at least one side. Alternatively, it is possible for the support elements to consist of two parallel square or round tubes which are connected to one another at a distance by the fastening means. The support elements are usually made of metal, e.g. painted steel sheets, and have

the hollow-walled shape even at high load-bearing capacity

low weight and easy to transport.

a support element that is open on one side, the

Fasteners are hooked into the cross-section of the support elements and lead to a

Reduction of the space required for the fasteners.

The support elements themselves can be designed to be straight or at least partially curved with respect to their longitudinal axis, which, depending on the intended use, results in a particularly attractive arrangement of the shelving system. The curve of the support elements can, for example, be arranged in such a way that the lower area is initially straight and partially curves towards the wall, so that the upper area of the shelving system also has appropriate depths for the system elements.

To further improve stability, the support struts are arranged off-center in the direction of the incline and are provided with a non-slip coating or have a rotating support body, which can be semi-circular, round with a flattened side or angular, e.g. triangular. By choosing a support body, for example, the contact surface of the support element on the floor and wall can be increased, which on the one hand provides a decorative finish and on the other hand distributes the wall and floor load over the area. The visible surface of the support body can be provided with labels or advertising stickers if used in business premises.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the support elements are connected by a vertically extending

* 9 9 ·

Attachment elements can be extended upwards, which are adapted to the shape of the support elements. This makes it possible to arrange the shelf partially at an angle in the lower area, while the upper area runs parallel to the wall surface, so that the full ceiling height can be used if necessary. Alternatively, it is possible for the support elements to have a forward-tilted light element at the upper end, which has a foot end adapted to the fastening means, for example made of a cylindrical or rectangular body, whereby the foot end can be hooked into the fastening means and the body lies or rests between the cross struts. The upper arrangement of the light element ensures on the one hand that no people are endangered or hindered, and on the other hand the forward-tilted design ensures very good lighting of the entire inventory. The supply of a power supply can be behind the support elements or within the specified cross section of the support elements.

In a special embodiment of the invention, two support elements can be put together in such a way that an isosceles triangle is created, with the two upper support bodies lying against each other. This creates a self-supporting construction, which can be reinforced if necessary by a lower support strut, which in turn can be equipped with mobile rollers, so that a mobile presentation trolley is created which is adapted to the uniform overall image and has the advantage of being easy to move.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the fastening means of the carrier elements in

are arranged at equidistant intervals and consist of ladder-shaped round or square cross struts within the support element or U-shaped brackets outside the support element or of a single or double hole grid which is arranged laterally or in the front and/or rear surface and the fastening means of the various system elements consist of an angled or U-shaped part which is connected to the system elements with a first leg and which has on its second leg an L-shaped recess in the front side edge directed towards the support element and a rectangular recess in the lower side edge, both of which are adapted to the equidistant distances of the fastening means. Alternatively, the second leg has an enlarged L-shaped recess in the front side edge facing the support element and a rounded lower side edge in which several rectangular recesses are arranged, whereby the recesses are also adapted to the equidistant spacing of the fastening means. Another variant consists in the fastening means of the system elements consisting of an angled end with a recess for hanging in the cross struts, whereby a downward-facing section is present which lies flush with the cross struts or has another recess.

The fastening elements designed in this way make it easy and problem-free to replace the system elements at any time, whereby the load can be adapted to the requirements by using appropriate material thicknesses for the support elements and system elements. The ladder-shaped arrangement of the fastening elements also ensures a finely graduated height alignment of the individual system elements.

In a further design of the shelving system, the system elements are made up of U-shaped hanging rails, which can be hooked into the fastening means with their legs and have a center of gravity that is arranged in front of or behind the longitudinal axis of the support elements or coincides with it. By selecting the hanging rails with a projection pointing forwards or backwards, it is possible to arrange the goods in a staggered manner that is appropriate for the purpose, whereby the shifting of the center of gravity of the hanging rails has no effect on stability due to the inclined support elements.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the system elements consist of hanging rails, which are extended to the rear and have several recesses for receiving crossbars or that the system elements consist of base parts with a rectangular profile frame and with fastening means for the support elements, whereby wooden or glass shelves can be inserted into the profile frame or a steel sheet can be placed on top and whereby the hanging takes place vertically or at an angle to the support body. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the hanging rails have supports arranged so that they can be moved in a guide groove, which are used as book or frame supports. A base part is usually combined with one of the aforementioned hanging rails in such a way that the individual goods cannot fall out when the base parts are tilted backwards, whereby the distances between the base part and the hanging rail can be selected as desired. Furthermore, by choosing a large number of movable supports, several goods of different sizes and widths can be placed next to each other.

arranged one after the other on a shelf. To present small items, the base parts can alternatively be equipped with compartments or wire mesh. Individual hanging rails or base parts can be prepared to accommodate additional shelf elements with guide grooves and movable supports.

Alternatively, it is possible for the system elements to consist of hanging, horizontally aligned cabinet elements which are at least partially open, provided with drawers, doors or compartments, and where the fastening means compensate for the angle of inclination α of the support elements by offsetting the L-shaped recess and the rectangular cutout. The combination of individual floor parts and cabinet elements leads to a loosening and attractive design of the shelving system, while maintaining a coherent and uniform overall impression.

For the decorative presentation of bulk goods, e.g. film rolls or the like, the system elements consist of interconnected, hookable individual chutes, which are straight, round or angled and have an upper filling opening and a lower removal opening, whereby the size of the various individual chutes can be designed differently. Alternatively, the system elements consist of hookable perforated sheets, which are designed to accommodate hooks, retaining brackets, support sheets or supports, so that the various goods can be arranged clearly.

As the upper end of the shelving system, the system elements are intended to consist of a cross brace with a

rotating or non-rotating aperture or an illuminated slide box, both of which can be used for advertising purposes.

In a further embodiment of the invention, freely adjustable cabinet elements are arranged between the support elements, which can be arranged in the lower area between the support elements.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the individual figures.

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1, which consists of two support elements 2 and at least one system element that can be hung. The support elements 2 are supported on the floor with their lower end 3 and leaned against a wall with their upper end 4, so that the support elements 2 have an angle of inclination ϳ to the vertical. The support elements 2 each consist of a rectangular, hollow-walled steel profile, which is open at the front and has fastening means in the form of cross braces 5 at equidistant intervals. The system elements can be hung in the cross braces 5 at a height that meets the requirements. At the lower ends 3, the support elements 2 have support braces 6, 7, which are attached to the support elements 2 eccentrically towards the wall. The lower support braces 6, 7 are, for example, round and provided with a non-slip covering. To further increase the load-bearing capacity of the support elements 2, support struts 8 are arranged facing backwards, which can consist of a triangular or square tube. One end of the support strut 8 is connected to the support element 2, i.e. welded or screwed, for example, while the free end has a height-adjustable support foot 9. Support struts are attached to both sides of the support element 2 at the upper end 4 of the support elements 2, which are provided with a rotatable support body 10, 11. The support body 10, 11 can be semi-circular, round with a flattened side, or square. In the embodiment shown, a triangular shape was preferred, which rests against the wall with one leg surface and with the

second leg surface points upwards, while the third, larger surface is visible from below and can be provided with, for example, lettering or other advertising. The support bodies 10, 11 provide a large supporting surface on the wall. In the upper area of the support elements 2, a cross brace 12 is suspended, which has a square cover 13. The cover 13 can be mounted in a rotationally fixed or rotatable manner and can be used, for example, as a mirror or advertising surface. Alternatively, it is possible to arrange an illuminated slide surface or a slide box, which can show a large transparent slide.

Figure 2 shows three partial views of the support element 2 of an embodiment of a system part and its fastening. The right-hand partial figure shows two support elements 2 which have a hanging rail 14. The hanging rail 14 consists of a U-shaped bracket which has a fastening means on each of its two legs. The fastening means consists of a U-shaped bent and bevelled part 16 which is connected to the hanging rail 14 with one leg and has an L-shaped recess 17 in the front side edge facing the support element and a rectangular recess 18 in the lower side edge on its second leg. The U-shaped bent part 16 encompasses the two inner side cheeks of the support element 2 and can be hung with its recess 17 or recess 18 in the existing cross struts 5. The suspension is carried out in such a way that the support elements 2 and the suspension rail 14 form a right angle with each other. In the two legs of the suspension rail 14, for example, four partially round recesses 19 are incorporated in the upper edge, which are intended to accommodate crossbars 20.

are seen, as can be seen, for example, from the lower left part of the figure. The upper left part of the figure shows the aforementioned hanging rail 14 in combination with a hanging base part 21, such that objects of different sizes can be stored on the base part 21 by displacing the crossbars 20 within the hanging rail 14.

Figure 3 shows in two figures a partial view of the support elements 2 with a further embodiment, a hanging rail 22, which is wider than the hanging rail 14 and has in the transverse section a double-angled guide 23 in which a total of four supports 24 are slidably arranged. The two legs of the hanging rail 22 are extended so that the hanging rail 22 protrudes backwards from the support elements 2.

Alternatively, Figure 4 shows a suspension rail 25, which also has a guide 26 with supports 24
The legs of the suspension rail 25 are kept very short in this embodiment, so that the suspension rail 25 comes to lie in front of the support elements 2.

Figure 5 shows the two head ends of the suspension rails 22, 25 in a partial view, from which it can be seen that the two legs of the suspension rails 22, 25 are angled in a U-shape and have an L-shaped recess 17 and a rectangular recess 18 at their free leg end. The L-shaped recess 17 and the recess 18 are in turn hung in the cross braces 5 of the support elements. Both suspension rails 22, 25 are used in combination with a suspended base part 21, whereby the existing supports 24 can be used to differentiate the entire width of the shelving system.

e.g. books, albums, picture frames or the like, can be placed. Depending on the size of the objects placed, a design of the hanging rail 22 or 25 is used, whereby the center of gravity can be arranged below or above the support elements 2.

Figure 6 shows a shelving system 1 in two views according to Figure 1, with triangular support bodies 10, 11 arranged on the upper and lower support struts 6, 7. A cross strut 12 with a cover 13 is suspended as the upper end of the shelving system 1. A lighting element 30 is suspended on both sides of the cross strut 12, which, as can be seen from the left-hand part of the figure, consists of a curved bracket 31, the lamp head 32 and the base part 33. The base part 33 is suspended in the cross struts 5 of the support elements 2 and has a cylindrical body 34, which is located between two cross struts 5. The supply voltage for the lamp head is supplied either within the open cross section of the support elements 2 or on the back thereof. From the left-hand part of the figure it can be seen that the support elements 2 are additionally supported by a support strut 8 with a support foot 9, whereby in the event of an extreme weight load on the support elements 2 an additional reinforcement 3 5 is arranged behind the support elements 2.

Figure 7 shows two partial views of the upper end of the support elements 2 with a cross brace 12 to which a panel 13 is attached. The cross brace 12 has two ends 3 6 bent at right angles at its ends, which are additionally connected to a downward-pointing section 3 7. At the ends 36 there is a recess 38 adapted to the cross braces 5, which is hooked into the cross braces 5, while the

Part 37 rests against the next lower cross brace 5. If necessary, part 37 can also be provided with a recess adapted to the shape of the cross braces. The panel 13 has a square shape and is fastened between the support elements 2 on the cross brace 12 and further rails 39 arranged at right angles to the cross brace 12.

Figure 8 shows an alternative embodiment according to Figure 7, a slide box 40 attached to the crossbar 12, which is intended for a large-format slide and contains lighting. The aperture 13 and the slide box 40 are held in a rotationally fixed manner on the crossbar 12 by the aforementioned rails 40, with the aperture 13 and the slide box 40 being slightly inclined forwards. However, it is also conceivable that a rotatable fastening type is selected.

Figure 9 shows a shelving system 1 according to Figure 6, which has vertically arranged attachment elements 41 above the support elements 2. The attachment elements 41 stand on the head ends of the support elements 2 and are connected to them. For better support, support struts 43 are provided on the attachment elements 41 at the upper ends 42.

44 if necessary with a non-slip covering. Alternatively, support bodies can be provided.

Figure 10 shows a perspective view of the base part 21 with the associated fastening means. The base part 21 consists of a U-profile frame 45, which is angled rectangularly all the way around and is intended to accommodate a base 46, e.g. made of wood, glass or a sheet of steel. The two parallel shorter sides of the profile frame

45 have the fastening means, which consists of an angle plate 47.

The angle plate 47 is screwed or welded to the profile frame 45 with its shorter legs, offset to the rear with respect to the axis of symmetry. The larger leg of the angle plate 47 is aligned vertically downwards and has an L-shaped recess 17 on the side edge 48 facing the support elements -2 , which has a wider cut on the side edge 41 compared to the recess 17 known from Figure 2. The downward-facing side edge 49 is bevelled at an angle of approximately 45 degrees towards the front and rounded towards the rear, with several recesses 18, preferably four, being arranged in the rounding. The recesses 18 and the L-shaped recess are suspended in the cross struts 5 of the support element 2, with the option of selecting one of the recesses 18 for the base part 21, so that the base part 21 can be arranged at an angle to the horizontal.

Figure 11 shows two views of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 6, which is equipped with different hanging rails 25 and base parts 21, as can be seen in Figure 10. The base parts 21 serve to hold the goods offered for sale, while the hanging rails 25 serve to provide rear support. A varying number of movable supports 24 are arranged in the hanging rails 25. The distances between the base parts 21 and the hanging rails 25 decrease from bottom to top, so that larger objects, e.g. picture frames, can be placed in the lower area and smaller objects, e.g. photo albums, can be placed in the upper area. The supports 24 prevent the goods in question from slipping or falling over when the shelves are not completely filled and thus offer a clear arrangement within the shelf, whereby the supports 24 can have an adapted depth depending on the size of the goods.

Figure 12 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 11, in which instead of the hanging rail 25 according to Figures 3, 4, hanging rails 14 according to Figure 2 are suspended. The hanging rails 14 with the crossbars 20 make it possible to arrange the goods at different depths. Optionally, it is also possible to arrange the base parts 21 according to Figure 10 perpendicular to the support element 2, horizontally or at an angle to the horizontal, depending on the fastening means provided.

Figure 13 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 1, in which the base parts 21 are alternately combined with suspension rails 25. The suspension rails 25 are equipped with guides 26, in which supports 24 are arranged so that they can be moved. The base parts 21 are coated on their upper side with corrugated rubber 50 so that the goods placed therein are not damaged.

Figure 14 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 11, in which hanging rails 25 with guides 26 and base parts 21 are combined with one another. In the lower area of the shelving system a base part 21 with corrugated rubber 50 is arranged, which is intended for larger goods, e.g. picture frames. The base part 21 located above it is arranged at about half the height of the shelving system 1, so that on the one hand there is a corresponding height in the lower area and on the other hand use is made of the possibility of additional shelf elements 51 being able to be hung on the upper base part 21. The shelf elements 51 have a guide 52 in which supports 24 are arranged so that they can be moved. Above the middle base part 21 there is a hanging rail 25 with guide 26 and supports 24, which are at a small distance above the

Base part 21 is arranged. Above this is another base part 21 with hanging rail 25 as well as guide 26 and supports 24. The end of the shelving system 1 is formed by a cross brace 12 with a panel 13 attached to it.

Figure 15 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 11, in which a base part 21 is arranged in the lower third, above which a perforated panel 53 is suspended in the support elements 2. The fastening means of the perforated plate 53 corresponds to that of the cross brace 12, which forms the upper end of the shelving system 1 with a panel 13. The perforated panel 53 has rows of holes 54 arranged one above the other, into which U-shaped retaining brackets 55 are inserted.

Figure 16 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 15 with a perforated plate 53, in which camera holders 56 are inserted next to and above one another in the existing rows of holes 54. The camera holder 56 is shown in detail in Figure 17.

Figure 17 shows three views of the camera holder 56 known from Figure 16. The camera holder 56 consists of a base plate 57, which is rounded at its ends and has a label panel 58 facing the front towards the viewer. The base plate 57 is attached to a bracket 59, which is made of a round material. The shape of the bracket 59 has a round arch 60 in the upper area, which merges into two parallel sections 61, which are bent at right angles to the front in the lower area to accommodate the base plate 57. The two parallel sections 61 are reinforced by two cross braces 62, whereby the cross braces 62 have two round pins 63, which are hooked into the rows of holes 54 in the perforated plate 53. For better attachment, the cross braces 61 are attached to the

Two parallel round pins 64 are welded to the lower area so that the round pins 64 together with the round pins 63 can be hooked into the rows of holes 54 and ensure a secure hold.

Figure 18 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 11, which is equipped with cabinet elements 70 and assembled drawers 71. The cabinet element 70 has a rectangular substructure 72, which is open in Figure 18 without door elements and has vertical rows of holes 73 on the sides for hanging shelves. An attachment element 74 is arranged on the substructure 72, which consists of individual compartments 75. The attachment element 74 is beveled from the back to the front, so that the compartments 75 in the front area are lower than in the rear area. The compartments 75 can be made of wood or plexiglass. Above the cabinet element 70 and the attachment element 74 there is a base part 21 which is suspended in such a way that the base part 21 runs at an angle towards the front and is delimited by at least one front side panel 76 which is arranged at right angles to the base part 21. On the base part 21 there is an elongated compartment division 77 which can be made of Plexiglas or wire brackets, for example. Above the base part 21 there are chutes 71 which are arranged in three rows one behind the other and have an angled shape. The upper half of the chutes 71 runs parallel to the support elements 2 and has a filling opening 78 at the top through which the goods can be fed. In the lower area the chutes 71 are angled at an angle of approx. 130° so that they run approximately parallel to the attachment element 74. The length of the angled section of the chutes 71 is dimensioned so that the front

Row of slides 71 is significantly shorter than that of the rear row of chutes 71. At the front, the chutes 71 are closed by a cover panel 79 so that the goods cannot fall out. On their upper side 80, however, the chutes 71 have an approximately square removal opening 81 so that the goods can be removed individually. In the embodiment shown, the chutes 71 are small in cross-section so that, for example, film rolls or other small material can be accommodated. The end of the shelving system 1 is again formed by a cross brace 12 with a panel 13. For uniform arrangement of the cabinet elements 70, the front feet 82 have a recess 83 which is placed on the inner support struts 7.

Figure 19 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 18, which has a cabinet element 70 closed by doors 84.

Figure 20 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 11, in which a cabinet element 70 with doors 84 is arranged between the support elements 2 in the lower area, which is already known from Figure 19. The cabinet element 70 stands with its two front feet 82 and the recess 83 on the inward-facing support struts 7. Storage boxes 90 are placed on the cabinet element 70, which become smaller from bottom to top and each consist of a double box element and are stacked two next to each other or four on top of each other. The shape of the storage boxes 90 is rectangular with a side wall 91 that is beveled towards the front and only reaches half the height of the storage boxes 90, so that the upper area is open and offers the possibility of filling and removing. The bottom part of the

The next layer of storage boxes 90 simultaneously represents the end of the lower storage box 90. The last upper row of storage boxes 90 is therefore completely open on the top. The end of the shelf system 1 is formed by a cross brace 12 with the panel 13, as is known from the other figures.

Figure 21 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 19, in which the lower cabinet element 70 is open and has vertical side walls 92 for dividing up the cabinet element 70. An attachment element 74 known from Figure 18 is arranged on the cabinet element 70 and above the attachment element 74 there is a base part 21 with compartment division 77 known from the same figure. Above the base part 21 there are four large-volume chutes 93 which are arranged next to one another and suspended in the support elements 2. The chutes 93 have an upper filling opening 94 and a lower removal opening 95.

Figure 22 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 18, which has a lower cabinet element 70 and a glass display case 100 placed on top of it. The cabinet element 70 and the glass display case 100 are arranged lying between the support elements 2, whereby the cabinet element 70 is designed to be open at the front and is placed with its feet 82 and the recesses 83 on the inner support struts 7. The cabinet element 70 has side walls only in the rear part and a closed front, on which rails 101 and guides 102, as known from the hanging rails 25, with supports 24 are mounted. The rails 101 are screwed onto the front side wall of the cabinet element 70. Alternatively, it is also possible for the rails 25 to be screwed into the

Shelving system 1. Below the upper rail 101, a base part 21 is hung into the shelving system 1, while below the lower rail 101, the cabinet element 70 has been pulled forward in such a way that the base 103 of the cabinet element 70 serves as a support for a base part 21. The glass display case 101 placed on the cabinet element 70 consists of a frame-shaped base body 104, which is equipped with glass panes 105 on all sides. The front of the glass display case 101 has a divided glass pane 106, which is arranged so that it can be moved to the other side. The end of the shelving system 1 is again formed by a cross brace 12 with a panel 13.

Figure 23 shows a perspective view of a shelving system 1 according to Figure 22, which differs in the lower cabinet element 70. The cabinet element 70 is box-shaped and has two doors 84 and a drawer 107 above the doors 84. Both the drawer 107 and the doors 84 have a triangular recess 108 in the middle, which is provided for opening instead of a handle.

Figure 24 shows two views of a shelving system 1, which consists of two support elements 2 arranged in pairs. The support elements 2 have triangular support bodies 10, 11 located on the support struts 6, 7 at their upper and lower ends, which rest on the floor with the largest surface area on the one hand, and come to rest against each other at the upper end. To prevent the support elements 2 from slipping apart, two struts 110 are arranged horizontally between the support elements 2 and connected to them. With such an arrangement of the support elements 2, the shelving system 1 does not need to be supported on a wall, but can advantageously be set up freely in a room.

Figure 25 shows two views of the arrangement of the support elements 2 known from Figure 24. A perforated plate 53 with rows of holes 54 is suspended in the support elements 2 on each side. In the upper area of the perforated plate, camera holders 56 are arranged in three rows and inserted into the perforated plate 53, while various holding brackets or brochure boxes 112 are suspended in the lower area. In contrast to Figure 24, the support elements 2 have a further support strut 110 in the lower area, to which mobile rollers 113 are attached. This creates the possibility of a mobile shelving system that can be freely set up and individually moved within a shop. Overall, the erectable or mobile shelving system 1 thus forms a uniform overall picture with a clear arrangement of the goods intended for sale, whereby the front sides can also be covered with a perforated sheet 53 if necessary and are equipped with holders, e.g. camera holders, as shown in the right-hand part of the figure.

Figure 26 shows a perspective view of the set-up arrangement of the shelving system 1 according to Figure 23 with a perforated panel 53 suspended on both sides. The perforated panel 53 extends over the entire height of the shelving system 1. The strut 110 is arranged in the lower area of the support elements 2 and is connected to the support elements 2. Additional support struts 114 can increase the stability of the shelving system 1 under higher loads.

Figure 27 shows two views of a support 115, which essentially consists of a foot part 116 and a frame part 117. The foot part 116 is rectangular and has four

Hooks 119, which are integral with the foot part

116 are connected and are arranged in pairs on the long edges so that they can be hooked into the horizontal rows of holes 54 of the perforated plates 53, whereby the support 115 can be hooked in either the left or right by rotating it by 180 degrees and can therefore be used in a variety of ways. For example, the support 115 can be used to support large picture frames or pictures, whereby one or the other viewing direction is preferred depending on the orientation of the shelving system 1. The frame part

117 consists of a round steel which is shaped into an elongated rectangle and welded to the foot part 116 at an angle. Depending on the application, the length of the frame part 117 and the angle as well as the fastening point on the foot part can be varied.

Furthermore, there is a movable bracket 120 on the frame part 117, which consists of a second foot part 121 and a second frame part 122. The second foot part 121 consists of a bent sheet metal, which, as can be seen from the sectioned partial view, reaches around the first frame part 117 with its flat side and can be pushed onto it. The second frame part 120 is also welded to the sheet metal at an angle, so that the alignment after assembly on the perforated sheet 53 is approximately parallel to the perforated sheet 53. The length of the second frame part can again be varied and adapted to requirements.
