Hanging CD, book, newspaper, bottle and video shelving system for private and commercial use

Page 1 Michael Masehke - Taimerhofstr. 24 - 81927 Munich

Description

The invention relates to a hanging CD, book, newspaper, bottle and video shelf system, or a hanging CD, book, newspaper, bottle and video stand, as shown in detail in the figures. One element (video element) consists of 6 leather strips riveted together: Six elements form a vertical row! Five rows form a unit with 30 elements. The number of elements is however arbitrary and can be freely selected!

FIG.9 shows a hanging, collapsible CD, book, newspaper, bottle and video stand, i.e. a shelf that can be hung from the ceiling. It is attached to a 1 m long rod (CD and video stand) made of wood, metal or plastic and two dowels that are 96 cm apart in length and at least 10 cm from a wall. The shelf can also be hung crosswise at right angles to the wall from the ceiling or a frame. This means that you can arrange as many shelves as you like next to each other at right angles to the wall!... Like clothes in a wardrobe! A frame specially developed for this purpose FIG. 9/1 is also available! It consists of 65 cm (longest part) long aluminum parts that, when put together, give a ceiling height of 2.38 m. The length can be varied as desired. When disassembled, it fits into a suitcase and weighs very little, making it ideal for trade fairs. It can be set up anywhere! The load capacity at 2 m length is over 160 kg!

There is also an entire exhibition stand (e.g. 3 m by 4 m) on whose 3 closed walls 300 or more elements can be arranged. In this case, the walls are so to speak wallpapered with 300 different videos! The individual elements FIG.7 and FIG.8 therefore take up almost no space, so that it is available for other things!

There are many shelves for CDs, videos, newspapers, bottles and books, but there is no shelving system like this one. To this day, such functional, very practical shelves are not offered at trade fairs, in shops or designer shops! There is no shelf that has this special suspension! It is in a way like

a "straps" or a holster for a video cassette! Since there is no name for a Page 2 Michael Maschke - Taimerhofstr. 24 - 81927 Munich

such a shelving system exists, I gave it the name:

"Video strap system".

This lightweight shelving system can also be folded up or rolled up very quickly and very small!

The shelving system can be used for CDs, books, newspapers, bookshelves and mainly videos or if you change the size (length of the leather strips) for other products too!

The unusual, uniquely successful, even if seemingly simple, leather construction provides enough stability to present CDs, books, newspapers, bottles, videos, for example! The arrangement and suspension of the leather parts and the wooden rod is one of the most important prerequisites for functionality! The construction looks simple, but you have to figure it out first!... Which has not been the case so far

Furthermore, the arrangement of the leather strips (leather straps) in relation to each other plays a decisive role!

The hollow rivets (snap fasteners, screws) ensure the required position of the leather strips so that, for example, the video cassettes don't fall out to the sides, downwards or forwards! The center of gravity of the video cassette is below the upper horizontal leather strap.

The shelf was and is still unknown worldwide in its current form and functionality! The principle of construction, as well as the functional design, is the decisive factor!

The arrangement of the leather parts, the course of the leather parts and that of the wooden rod is one of the most important prerequisites for functioning:

All of this results in the product being presented in a way that makes it appear as if it were floating, and encourages you to pick it up. Then there is the small, lightning-fast folding (rolling up) and the low weight during transport!

The hollow rivets (snap fasteners, screws) and the resulting leather loops create great stability. The suspension of the leather parts creates and guarantees balance!

The leather strips (leather straps) can also be replaced by other materials (plastics, metal wire, chains, rods, wood).

All FIGS. are shown in greatly reduced size!

FIG. 10 shows how 2 vertical leather strips for connecting the elements, 1 cm wide / 2.5 mm thick and 27 cm long, are connected to the necessary holes.

FIG.20 shows an element of FIG.8 schematically from the side.

FIG.21 shows the suspension (wooden rod greatly reduced in size) for the ceiling suspension.

FIG. 10 shows that the elements can also be connected to the leather parts using eyelets and screws.

FIG.11,16,17,18,19 show that the leather parts can be replaced by wire, other arrangement, less or other material.

However, the following points are essential:

Manufacturing with black leather works best:

The symmetrical shelf element (FIG.7, 8, 9) is made of 2.5 mm thick leather or a similar solid material, such as sheet metal, mesh, chains, wood or plastic.

The video shelf system

6 leather strips of 1 cm width are cut. Two are 39 cm long, 2 are 27 cm long and 2 are 27 cm long.

Page 4 Michael Maschke - Taimerhofstr. 24 - 81927 Munich

The 2 leather strips with a length of 39 cm each have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 38.5 cm, 16.5 cm, 22.5 cm, 3.5 cm, 35.5 cm, 10 cm and 29 cm.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 27 cm each have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 26.5 cm, 6.5 cm, 20.5 cm.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 27 cm for the vertical connection have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 26.5 cm, 6 cm, 12 cm.

Riveting an element together:

Hole 1 at the bottom is riveted to hole 8 at the top and hole 9 at the bottom to hole 16 at the top. This is followed by hole 5 at the bottom to hole 17 at the top, hole 4 at the bottom to hole 21 at the top, hole 13 at the bottom to hole 18 at the top, hole 12 at the bottom to hole 22 at the top, hole 7 at the bottom to hole 20 at the top, hole 2 at the bottom to hole 24 at the top, hole 10 at the bottom to hole 23 at the top, hole 15 at the bottom to hole 19 at the top.

Then for the vertical connection: hole 26 bottom with hole 11 top, hole 27 bottom with hole 3 top, hole 30 bottom with hole 14 top, hole 31 bottom with hole 6 top.

Holes 29 and 25 are connected below with the following 5 elements.

Holes 32 and 28 are connected at the top with 2 leather strips each measuring 14 cm by 1 cm (FIG. 12, FIG. 13):

Each 14 cm leather strip has a 3 mm 0 hole in the middle, 1 cm from both ends!

Hole 32 in the middle and hole 33 at the top and hole 35 at the bottom, hole 28 in the middle and hole 36 at the top and hole 38 at the bottom, so that two loops are formed.

A leather strap measuring 1 cm by 14 cm is pulled through each of these loops (FIG.14/15) and then hole 39 is riveted over hole 40 and hole 41 over hole 42 to form a second loop, which is then both pushed over the wooden stick. Everything is then done 5 times and you get a structure with 5 by 6 elements, as in FIG.9.

The ceiling suspension:

The ceiling suspension consists of a 1 m long and 3 cm 0 thick round rod made of beech wood FIG. 14. A hole is drilled at each end at a distance of 2 cm from the ends using an 8 mm drill. Now

pull a 6 mm thick black polyamide rope through both holes Page 5 Michael Maschke - Taimerhofstr. 24 - 81927 Munich

of 6 mm 0 and 80 cm long through the holes and make a 1/2 knot at each of the two lower ends (FlG.9-2, FIG.9-3). At the other two upper ends, make a bowline at 20 cm. These loops are then placed in a ceiling hook. The height can be changed by the length of the rope and adapted to the height of the ceiling. The distance of the last element to the floor should be at least approx. 20 - 40 cm, so that the floor can be cleaned easily.

The CD shelving system corresponds to the dimensions of the video shelving system!

The newspaper shelf system

The newspaper shelf system FIG.IZ to FIG.6Z, FIG.22, FIG.23, FIG.26:

The newspaper rack system uses the same system, except that the leather straps are longer and the holes are punched further apart from each other!

6 leather strips of 1 cm width are cut. Two are 55 cm long, 2 are 55 cm long and 2 are 37 cm long.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 55 cm each have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at 0.5 cm, 54.5 cm, 13.5 cm, 40.5 cm, 18 cm, 9 cm, 36 cm and 45 cm.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 55 cm each have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 54.5 cm, 22 cm, 33 cm.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 37 cm for the vertical connection have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 6.5 cm, 28.5 cm, 36.5 cm.

Riveting an element together using the same system as the video shelf system:

Hole 1 at the bottom is riveted to hole 8 at the top and hole 9 at the bottom to hole 16 at the top. This is followed by hole 5 at the bottom to hole 17 at the top, hole 4 at the bottom to hole 21 at the top, hole 13 at the bottom to hole 18 at the top, hole 12 at the bottom to hole 22 at the top, hole 7 at the bottom to hole 20 at the top, hole 2 at the bottom to hole 24 at the top, hole 10 at the bottom to hole 23 at the top _and hole 15 at the bottom to hole 19 at the top.

Then for the vertical connection: hole 26 below with hole 11 above,

Hole 27 below with hole 3 above, hole 30 below with hole 14 above, hole 31 Page 6 Michael Maschke - Taimerhofstr. 24 - 81927 Munich

bottom with hole 6 above.

Holes 29 and 25 are connected below with the following 4 elements.

Holes 32 and 28 are connected at the top with 2 leather strips each measuring 14 cm by 1 cm (RG. 12, FIG. 13):

Hole 32 bottom and hole 33 top and hole 28 bottom and hole 36 top.

Then hole 35 at the bottom and hole 34 at the top, hole 38 at the bottom and hole 37 at the top, so that two loops are formed.

A leather strap measuring 2 cm by 14 cm is pulled through each of these loops (FIG. 14 /15) and then hole 39 is riveted over hole 40 and hole 41 over hole 42 to form a second loop, which is then both pushed over the wooden stick. 4 elements are riveted together.

Everything is then done 3 times and you get a structure with 4 x 3 elements, like FIG.26, FIG.27. The rod is also 100 cm long!

The bottle rack system

6 leather strips of 1 cm width are cut FIG.1 F - FIG.6F.

Two have a length of 33 cm, 2 have a length of 40 cm and 2 have a length of 40 cm.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 33 cm each have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 32.5 cm, 14 cm, 3 cm, 19 cm, 30 cm, 24.5 and 8.5 cm.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 40 cm each have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 39.5 cm, 9 cm, 31 cm, and 20 cm.

The 2 leather strips with a length of 40 cm for the vertical connection have a hole of 3 mm 0 in the middle at the beginning at 0.5 cm, 39.5 cm, 9 cm, 31 cm.

Riveting an element together is done in the same way as with the video element.

To prevent the bottles from falling through, an additional 6 cm leather strip FIG.25 with a hole of 0.5 cm from each end is riveted into the holes at 20 cm FIG.3F-37, FIG.4F-37, FIG.24-1.

4 elements are riveted together FIG.24 and for 1 m ceiling rod 5 elements next to each other.

The ceiling suspension consists of a 1 m long and 3 cm thick Page 7 Michael Maschke - Taimerhofstr. 24 - 81927 Munich

Round rod made of beech wood FIG. 14. A hole is drilled at each end at a distance of 2 cm from the ends using an 8 mm drill. Now a 6 mm thick black polyamide rope of 6 mm diameter and 60 cm long is pulled through both holes and a 1/2 knot is made at each of the two lower ends (FIG.9-2, FIG.9-3). At each of the other two upper ends, a bowline at 20 cm. These loops are then placed in a ceiling hook. The height can be changed by changing the length of the rope and adjusted to the height of the ceiling.
