Bottle rack

The invention relates to a bottle rack with a front and rear wall, the walls being attached to a frame and coaxially opposed holes for storing the bottles are arranged in the walls.

Such a shelf is known from DE-GM 78 03 · 135. The frame consists of spacers and the walls of one-piece perforated plates made of sheet steel or plastic. The distance between the walls and the diameter of the holes is chosen so that of the holes in the rear wall of the Bottle neck and the holes in the front wall of the ■ bottle belly. r-

Apart from the fact that the production of the well-known 'shelf is very expensive, it is disadvantageous that the bottles do not store stationary. They lie loosely in the holes and can slip axially. In addition, the labeling is not easily recognizable because it is almost only off the shelf the bottle bottom area protrudes.

The object of the invention is to create a shelf that is easier to manufacture and in which the bottles do not slip store stationary.

This object is achieved by the features of the claims. The invention is exemplified on the basis of the drawing explained in more detail. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the bottle rack,

Fig. 2 schematically shows the storage of a bottle on the shelf.

The new bottle rack is particularly suitable for storing wine bottles. It consists of the frame 1, the Front wall 2 and the back wall 3.

The frame 1 has the vertical bars 6 and 7 which are arranged at a distance from one another and which are positioned vertically. the Spars can be made of wood or preferably of metal box tubes. The box tubes can be fitted with caps 11 to be introverted. On the front and back of the Spars 6 and 7 are boards, preferably wooden boards, 8 and 9 are arranged. The boards are expedient

25 screwed on with screws 10.

The boards 8 have the same external dimensions as the boards S, the boards 8 and 9 in alignment sit one behind the other on the bars. 30th

The boards 8 and 9, which are arranged one above the other, are expediently forming a gap or a gap 12 arranged at a distance from each other.

The boards 8 and 9 form the front wall 2 and the:
Rear wall 3. The distance between the walls is thus the
Spar width B. The shelf depth results from in each case
the board thickness plus the stile width B.
5

According to the invention, 8 holes 13 as well as are in the boards
preferably at the edge 14 troughs 15 introduced.
When boards 8 are arranged one above the other, the troughs 15 complement one another across the respective gap 12

to openings 16 of approximately the same diameter as the
Holes 13. Likewise, the boards S are coaxial
to the boards 8 'and have the perforators 17
as well as the troughs 18 or the openings formed by the troughs of boards 9 arranged one above the other

(not shown). The holes 17 and openings
the rear wall 3 have a smaller diameter
than the holes 13 and 16 openings in the front wall
2.

It is essential that the distance between the front wall and
the rear wall is chosen so that the center of gravity S
the bottles 23 is arranged clearly outside in front of the front wall 2 (FIG. 2). This creates a
Leverage between the mounting or investment points

or lines or areas of a bottle 23 in the foregoing 1

their hole 13 and rear hole 17 achieved. In the hole s

13 the contact pressure force acts downwards and in the |

Hole 17 the contact pressure force upwards in each case between |

see hole and bottle. |

This leverage creates a friction effect that the |

Can fix the position of the bottle alone. The friction '

The effect can be achieved through a friction lining in the upper hole: area can be reinforced (not shown). In addition

comes that, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the edge 19 of the rim 20 of the bottle head 21 behind the rear upper edge 22 of the '«,

I hooks the rear hole 17 so that the bottle position "

is secured against simple pulling out or falling out. To remove the bottle 23 is

the bottle belly is raised until the edge 19 of the

The bottle head 21 disengages or the upper edge 22 of the hole 17 no longer engages behind. Thereafter, the bottle 23 from the holes 17, 13 can easily be pulled out. The insertion of the bottle 23 on the shelf takes place accordingly.

The bottle is thus on the shelf according to the invention stored only on the head and neck, while the bottle belly protrudes freely into the room. To that extent is also the label 24 can be easily recognized without the bottle having to be pulled or removed from the shelf to read the label 24. has to be moved at all. In this context, it is useful to remove the holes or openings from Row of holes to be arranged laterally offset to row of openings, so that the bottles of each successive row are stored in a gap.

It goes without saying that the bottle storage depicted in FIG. 1 does not correspond to the storage according to the invention. because the bottle 23 has no abutment in ' the back wall finds. The illustration is only intended to illustrate how the bottles 23 in the holes or openings should sit, which is evident from Fig. 2.

The lever mounting described for the holes 13 ', 17 applies accordingly to those from the

Wells 15 and 18 formed openings equally.

The shelf according to the invention can expediently be set up by foot bars 4 and 5 that are attached at right angles to the front of the walls 2.3 on the bars 6.7- The arm 25 is the Foot bars 4, 5 chosen so long that the distance of the center of gravity caused by the bottle, outside The center of gravity of the shelf lying in front of the front wall 2 of the filled shelf from the front wall is sufficiently less than the length of the arms 25 so that results in a sufficiently stable position of the shelf and prevents it from tipping over when operated properly is.

In the extension of the arms 25 to the rear, a protrusion 26 can be provided, which is expediently Is made somewhat longer than the length with which the bottle heads 21 protrude beyond the rear wall 3.

This ensures that the shelf can be placed against a wall without the bottle heads damaged or the bottles are printed off the shelf or damaged during insertion.

Fig. 1 shows only one shelf unit. The inventive However, structure of the shelf allows an increase in the shelf easily by z. B. by distance the caps 11 from the square tubes 6.7 another shelf is placed, the spars corresponding, in the Openings in the square tubes 6.7 have insertable feet (not shown).

it is not sufficient to sufficiently compensate or absorb the tilting moment of the shelf.

It is advantageous that the boards are made of wood, which results in a temperature-homogeneous storage of the bottles, which cannot be guaranteed with a metal shelf. The boards are expediently high pressure impregnated, so that they are long-term protected against weathering.

The construction of the new shelf is very straightforward. This means that the individual parts take up a little space Requiring package can be put together and the shelf package easily handled in the sales guise can be. It is particularly advantageous that the shelf according to the modular principle without large Effort can be increased.

For the storage or holding of bottles whose dimensions are smaller than z. B. wine bottles, can expediently be provided to insert annular insert pieces into the holes and openings, their Inside diameter corresponds to the dimensions of the bottles to be stored. The rings can be press fit in the openings or holes anchored or provided with an abutment so that they are not easily slide out of the openings or holes.
