Known front strips of this type are generally due to the above-mentioned requirements from comparative made of thin stainless steel and are therefore correspondingly expensive. To increase strength, in particular of the backward-facing legs supporting the fruit pots, bevels were necessary, those with their sharp cut edges led to injuries on various occasions.

The task of the innovation is to create a front strip of the entrance mentioned type to the effect that with a visually more appealing overall impression, the manufacturing effort reduced, the risk of injury eliminated with certainty and the handling, especially when setting up such Shelving is facilitated.

According to the innovation, this task is achieved by ' that the two V-shaped legs of the front strip which are inclined towards one another are integral with one another by means of a central transverse web are connected that on the outside of the fruit chute supporting inner SchenteIs and the transverse web Knobs are formed and that on the outside of the other, facing into the sales area leg of the bar a fold is intended to accommodate the identification labels.

This preferably made of an aluminum alloy as The front strip produced by a rolled profile is preferably provided by the one arranged on its one leg and on the transverse web Knobs designed as longitudinal ribs provide a secure holder and support for fruit pots and for sale-ready packaging units and fruit or vegetables dumped loosely on the shelves. The outside area of the sales room

facing leg is largely flat, which gives an advantageous visual impression. She knows according to an advantageous development on its lower edge a fold, which consists of a parallel to the leg running web and are simply inserted into the price tags and other awards of the goods be able.

The installation of such a front strip and the stability of a frame for holding fruit chutes is made easier or increased by running parallel to the front leg and made in one piece with the front strip Tabs that are slit-shaped receptacles for engaging Have fittings of the shelves.

The innovation according to the front strip has the advantage over known strips that for stable installation, for Reinforcement of the leg supporting the fruit or the vegetables and for holding the identification plates at all additional components are necessary.

The following are exemplary embodiments of the innovation described in detail with reference to the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 1 shows a self-service shelf for receiving fruit chutes with the new front strip in a schematic representation;

Fig. 2 shows a cross section through a front strip

Fig. J5 shows another embodiment of the front strip in cross section.

The shelf shown in Fig. 1 for receiving fruit booths consists of a fixed mounted in the sales room

Stand 1, to the carrier 2 via suitable hook connections be hooked. Boards or flat metal sheets 4 are located between the beams protruding freely at an angle into the sales area as a lower receptacle for - not shown- fruit chutes, packing units or the like. The front bracket this boards or sheets 4 takes place through the innovation according to the front bar 5 of V-shaped cross-section.

The front strip 5 shown in Fig. 2 consists essentially of two mutually obliquely directed Legs 6 and 7 which are connected to one another in one piece by an upper transverse web 8. The one pointing backwards Leg 6 and the central web 7 are provided on their outer surface with longitudinal ribs 9, 10, on the one hand a improved stability of the leg itself and, on the other hand, a secure mounting of z. B. individual packaging units serve. At its lower edge, the leg 6 has a longitudinal bead 11, which is another Increases strength without the risk of injury.

The leg 7 of the front strip facing the sales area has a longitudinal web 12 on its lower edge and a transverse approach 13 formed fold. Into the slot I'J between the outer surface of the leg 7 and the web 12

Price tags or other product labeling - not shown - can be used. The web 13 is extended inward and bent to a lower flap 14, which runs essentially parallel to the leg J and with an upper flap 15 forms a receptacle for the transversely bent fittings 16 (FIG. 1). By pushing these fittings 16, which are fastened to the supports 2, into the slot delimited by the tabs 14 and the limb 7, the result is a simple one

Way a high-strength closed frame in which the boards or sheets 4 can be used.

Oils front strip design according to Fig. J3 corresponds to the essential of those according to Flg. 2. With her, however, the handle I7 pointing into the sales area is opposite the extended to the rearwardly pointing leg 26 and under J the formation of an approximately arcuate narrow transverse web arranged at a more acute angle. From the tabs 24, 25 for inserting the fastened to the supports 2 of the frame Fittings l6, the upper flap 25 is arranged on the middle part of the leg 27, so that this front strip design compared to that of FIG. 2 forms an elevated conclusion of a fruit shelf.

To avoid damage, e.g. to the food packed in plastic film, as well as injuries during the Removing the fruit or vegetables have the ribs 9, 10 formed as longitudinal knobs an arcuate, preferably circular arc-shaped cross-section. Also are also the ends of the webs or tabs 12, 13, 14, I5 rounded.

In the front strip design shown in Fig. J5 the individual parts that are identical to the front strip according to FIG. 2 have been identified by the same reference numerals.
