Opfindelsen angâr en reol med flere over hinanden anbragte rum og i disse anbragte fra reolen udtrækkelige styr, hvori der udtageligt er indeholdt provekasser, der eventuelt kan 5 lukkes med et là g, og hvis forsider i hovedsagen forbliver fri, og soin ved helt udtrukne styr ligger fuldstændigt uden for reolen.The invention relates to a rack with several superposed compartments, and in these arranged retractable guides, which are removably containing sample boxes which may be closed with a lid, and the front of which remains essentially free, and so on by fully extended guides is completely off the shelf.

Der kendes provekasser, som bestâr af métal eller plast, og som har faste eller udtagelige skillevægge. X provekasser er f.eks. samlet motrikker, skruer, underlagsskiver af bestemte starrelser og dimensioner. Derved er f.eks. i en provekasse samlet sâdanne smâdele eller værktoj til en bestemt maskinmodel, at en montor, der bliver kaldt ud til réparation eller vedlige-holdelse af en eller anden model, kun behover at udtage én provekasse fra sin bil, medens han i sin bil medtager flere provekasser.Sample boxes made of metal or plastic are known and have fixed or removable partitions. X sample boxes are e.g. assembled bolts, screws, washers of specific sizes and dimensions. Thus, e.g. in a test case assembled such small parts or tools for a particular machine model that an installer called for repair or maintenance of one model only needs to take one sample box from his car, while in his car he includes several provekasser.

20 DE-Al-23 44 186 kendes et skab til optagning af flere kuffer- ter, hvor kufferterne er indeholdt i separate rum. Med henblik pâ adgang til det indre af kufferterne er der i rummene indsat teleskopagtige foringsskinner, som kan trækkes ud. Til dette formai mâ kufferterne pâ sidevæggene hâve loberuller, som 25 kan indsættes i tilsvarende foringer i foringsskinnerne.20 DE-Al-23 44 186 discloses a cabinet for accommodating several suitcases in which the suitcases are contained in separate compartments. For access to the interior of the trunks, telescopic liner rails can be inserted in the compartments which can be pulled out. For this purpose, the trunks on the side walls must have lint rolls which can be inserted into corresponding linings in the casing rails.

Denne udformning har naturligvis den ulempe, at kun pâ pas-sende mâde udformede kufferter, dvs. kufferter med foringsrul-ler, kan anvendes. Ved medtagningen af kufferterne virker 30 disse foringsruller forstyrrende, de kan fare til tilsmuds- ninger og beskadigelser og kan ligeledes let bliver beskadi-get. Derudover mâ foringsskinnerne ved indsastningen af kufferterne i skabet udtrækkes separat, hvad der i givet fald kanvære vanskeligt, da de ikke har nogen angrebsflade. Denne vanskelig-35 hed bliver sâ yderligere foroget, nâr skabet f.eks. i et kore- toj star skrât. Nâr brugeren har trukket den ene faringsskinne ud og vil trække den anden ud, kan den forste igen rutsche tilbage. Han skulle i dette tilfælde egentlig hâve tre hænder.Of course, this design has the disadvantage that suitably designed suitcases only, ie. suitcases with casing rollers can be used. When carrying the trunks, these casing rollers are disruptive, can cause dirt and damage, and can also be easily damaged. In addition, the casing rails must be pulled apart separately when inserting the suitcases into the cupboard, which may be difficult, as they do not have an attack surface. This difficulty is then further exacerbated when the cabinet e.g. in a Korean star. Once the user has pulled out one of the guide rail and wants to pull out the other, the first one can slide back again. In this case, he should really raise three hands.

Derudover bestâr der naturligvis en fare for, at brugeren fâr tilsmudset hænderne eller endog kommer til skade pâ fo-ringsskinnerne.In addition, there is, of course, a danger that the user will get dirty hands or even damage the guide rails.

Til provekasser, som ikke har nogen ruller, er dette skab ikke anvendeligt.For sample boxes that have no rolls, this cabinet is not applicable.

Ligeledes kendes fra engelsk patent nr. GB-A-1.378.902 en Iq af en ranime bestâende skuffe. Den forreste side af rammen er ved denne skuffe forsynet med en blænde, som afslutter skuffen udadtil i et skab. I rammen er indsat en bakke, som ved hjaslp af en rundtgâende kant ligger pâ rammen og eventuelt er fastskruet pâ denne. Til optagning af provekasser er denne skuffe ikke egnet.Also, from British Patent No. GB-A-1,378,902 an Iq of a ranime-existing drawer is known. The front side of the frame is provided with this aperture with an aperture which exits the drawer externally in a cabinet. A tray is inserted in the frame, which by means of a circumferential edge lies on the frame and is optionally screwed onto it. This drawer is not suitable for picking up sample boxes.

Desuden kendes fra USA patent nr. US-A-1750 448 en skuffe, hvor der til de nedre langsgâende kanter af skuffelegemet er pâsvejset et profilstykke, som bestâr af en ovre lodret 20 flig, hvortil der slutter sig et udadtil âbent vandret anbragt U-profilstykke. Skuffen bliver med dette profilstykke skubbet sâledes ind over et i tværsnit L-formet profilstykke, der er svejset pâ skabets vægge, at den vandrette flig pâ L-pro-filstykket indgriber i U-profilet.Furthermore, from US Patent No. US-A-1750 448 a drawer is known in which a profile piece is welded to the lower longitudinal edges of the drawer body, which consists of an upper vertical tab, to which extends an outwardly open horizontally arranged U-shaped plate. profile piece. With this profile piece, the drawer is pushed in such a way that a cross-sectional L-shaped profile piece welded to the cabinet walls causes the horizontal tab of the L-profile file piece to engage the U-profile.

Formâlet med opfindelsen er at anvise en reol af den i ind-ledningen angivne art, som er sâledes forbedret, at den er billigere at fremstille end sædvanlige provekasser, og hvor indsætningen af provekasserne er lettere at foretage.The object of the invention is to provide a shelf of the kind specified in the introduction, which is so improved that it is cheaper to manufacture than conventional sample boxes and where insertion of the sample boxes is easier to make.

Dette formâl bliver opfyldt med reolen ifolge opfindelsen, som er ejendommelig ved, at styrene er udformet som skuffer, der hver bestâr af en profilramme, som har to i udtræknings retningen forlabende, omtrent stoleprofilformede længdeprofil-35 stykker, der er fort glidende pâ i omrâdet ved reolens side- vægge anbragte geometrisk lignende profilstykker, og som bestâr af et lodret ovre afsnit og et dertil sluttende udadtil âbent U-profilstykke, et tvœrprofilstykke, der forbinder læng-This object is fulfilled with the shelf according to the invention, which is characterized in that the guides are designed as drawers, each consisting of a profile frame having two extending, approximately chair-shaped, longitudinal profile pieces which are sliding in the area. arranged at the side walls of the shelf are geometrically similar profile pieces, and which consist of a vertical upper section and a corresponding open-profile U-profile piece, a cross-sectional piece connecting longitudinally.

3 deprofilstykkerne og danner forsiden af skuffen, og et ved længdeprofilstykkernes bageste omrâde anbragt tværprofilstykke, hvorhos profilrammen har oplægningsflader og anslag til sikker 5 fastholdelse af den til enhver tid foreliggende provekasse.3 the de-profile pieces forming the front of the drawer, and a cross-sectional piece arranged at the rear of the longitudinal sections, the profile frame having supporting surfaces and abutments for secure retention of the sample box at all times.

Ved udformningen af styrene som skuffer kan sædvanlige prove-kasser indsættes i reolen uden tilvejebringelse af yderligere ruller pâ sidevæggene. Den forreste tværdel af profilrammen jO muliggor, at man med en hând kan udtrække den tomme skuffe.In designing the guides as drawers, conventional sample boxes can be inserted into the rack without providing additional rollers on the side walls. The front cross section of the profile frame jO allows one to pull out the empty drawer with one hand.

De ifolge opfindelsen foreslâede foranstaltninger gor det ligeledes muligt at lade en lukkeindretning angribe pâ skuffer-ne, som muliggor en ordentlig aflâsning af reolen.The measures proposed according to the invention also make it possible to have a closing device attack on the drawers, which allows a proper unloading of the rack.

j5 For at muliggore en stabling af flere reoler foreslâs det ifolge opfindelsen endvidere, at reolen pâ sin overside har knaster og pâ sin underside dertil komplementære udtagninger.In addition, in order to enable stacking of multiple shelves, it is proposed according to the invention that the shelf has knobs on its upper side and complementary cut-outs on its underside.

F.eks. kan der pâ oversiden i omrâdet ved hjornerne være udfor-met fire kugleudsnitformede fremspring, som, nâr oversiden 2o af reolen bestâr af metalplade, simpelt hen kan presses ud.Eg. For example, on the upper surface of the area at the corners there may be four ball-shaped projections which, when the upper surface 2o of the rack consists of metal plate, can simply be pressed out.

Dertil svarende har undersiden samme udformninger, som ligeledes star frem opadtil og er nedad hule. Det er ligeledes muligt ogsâ at anbringe sâdanne udbulinger, knaster eller slidser pâ sidevæggene, for at reoler ogsâ kan ordnes i en 25 række ved siden af hinanden.Similarly, the underside has the same designs, which also face upward and are downward hollow. It is also possible to place such bulges, cams or slots on the side walls so that racks can also be arranged in a row next to each other.

For at kunne fastgore en reol pâ en væg, har den ifolge et yderligere træk ifolge opfindelsen pâ sin bagside en fast-gorelsesindretning. For at foroge stabiliteten kan bagvæggen 30 ogsâ være i det mindste delvis forstærket. Dette kan f.eks.In order to be able to attach a shelf to a wall, it has, according to a further feature of the invention, on its rear a fastening device. In order to increase stability, the rear wall 30 may also be at least partially reinforced. This can be done, for example.

opnâs ved anbringelsen af en afstivningsplade eller et profil-stykke.is obtained by the application of a stiffening plate or profile piece.

For at garantere en mere sikker fastholdelse af provekasserne 35 i skufferne kan det forekomme, at skuffen, som det endvidere foreslâs ifolge opfindelsen, har et bageste og/eller et forreste anslag for provekassen.In order to guarantee a more secure holding of the sample boxes 35 in the drawers, it may occur that the drawer, as further proposed according to the invention, has a rear and / or a front stop for the sample box.

4 Særligt gunstigt er det, nâr provekasserne pâ deres forside har et hândgreb. Dette hândgreb tjener ikke blot til at bære provekasserne, men tjener samtidigt som et greb for udtræk-5 ningen af skufferne. Pâ forsiden af provekasseme, som pâ grund af den af profilstykket bestâende skuffe ved lukket reol er tilgængelige udefra, kan der foruden hândgrebet være tilveje-bragt en holder for en pâskrift.4 It is particularly advantageous when the sample boxes on their front have a handle. This handle not only serves to carry the sample boxes, but at the same time serves as a grip for pulling out the drawers. On the front of the sample boxes, which, due to the drawer consisting of the profile piece, are closed from the outside, in addition to the handle, a holder for a inscription may be provided.

Indersiden af lâget er fortrinsvis udformet som en bærer for en provefortegnelse. Dette kan f.eks. ske ved, at indersiden af lâget er udformet glat, sâ at en provefortegnelse let kan klæbes pâ. Der kan imidlertid ogsâ være tilvejebragt skinner eller holdere til indskydning af en tavle til at skrive pâ.The inside of the cover is preferably configured as a carrier for a sample record. This can be done, for example. This is done in that the inside of the lid is designed smoothly so that a sample record can easily be adhered to. However, rails or holders for inserting a whiteboard for writing on may also be provided.

Medens der ved de hidtil kendte provekasser blev foretaget en ruminddeling ved hjælp af en metalindsats, som bagefter blev indsat i kassen, foreslâs det ifolge opfindelsen, at provekassen har en udtagelig plastindsats med en ruminddeling.While in the prior art test boxes a compartment was made by means of a metal insert which was subsequently inserted into the box, it is proposed according to the invention that the sample box has a removable plastic insert with a compartment.

2q Denne indsats er fortrinsvis dybtrukket ud i ét stykke af plast. Medens der ved de kendte ruminddelinger er en risiko for, at underlagsskiver forskyder sig ind under tværvæggene til det forkerte rum, er denne risiko forhindret ved den ifolge opfindelsen udformede indsats.2q This insert is preferably extruded into one piece of plastic. While in the known compartments there is a risk that substrate disks will move under the transverse walls to the wrong compartment, this risk is prevented by the design according to the invention.

2525

For at sikre en stojdæmpning og en beskyttelse af lâgets inder-side er der ifolge opfindelsen mellem lâget og indsatsen indlagt et indlæg af isolationsmateriale, især af skummateriale.According to the invention between the lid and the insert, an insulation material, in particular foam material, has been inserted in order to ensure noise absorption and protection of the inner side of the lid.

3Q Medens det ved de kendte af métal bestâende ruminddelinger pâ grund af de lige udformede kanter ofte var vanskeligt at udtage enkeltdele fra naesten tomme rum, bestâr denne vanskelig-hed ved den i opfindelsen foreslâede indsats ikke mere, nâr denne i en videreudformning har afrundede overgange mellem 35 ruminddelingerne og bunden af indsatsen. Dette bliver yderligere lettet ved, at hjornerne af rummene ligeledes er afrundede.3Q While the known compartments of metal consisting of the evenly formed edges often made it difficult to extract individual parts from almost empty spaces, this difficulty in the efforts proposed in the invention no longer exists when it has rounded transitions in a further design. between the 35 space divisions and the bottom of the insert. This is further facilitated by the fact that the corners of the rooms are also rounded.

Reolen 11 har fire skuffer, som fortil er udtrække-lige. Skufferne 14 bestâr af en profilramme, hvis opbygning er 3q vist nærmere i fig. 3 og 4. Skuffen 14's forside 15 er rela- tivt smal i forhold til afstanden mellem to skuffer, sa at forsiden af pr0vekasserne med indsatte pr0vekasser forbliver frit tilgængelige. Skufferne kan være lâst ved hjælp af en antydet lâs 16.The FIG. 1, shelf 11 consists of a metal plate housing, the edges of which are reinforced by means of profile blanks. On its upper side 12 the shelf 11 is provided with four spherical segmental projections 13 which, for the purpose of stacking, cooperate with corresponding complementary shaped recesses on the underside of a corresponding shelf. The shelf 11 has four drawers which are pull-out at the front. The drawers 14 consist of a profile frame whose structure is shown in more detail in FIG. 3 and 4. The front 15 of the drawer 14 is relatively narrow relative to the distance between two drawers, so that the front of the sample boxes with inserted sample boxes remains freely accessible.

On the inside 24 of the cover 18, a plan can be placed indicating the contents and arrangement of the individual parts of the sample box. The sample box 17 has an inner insert 25 with a space divider. This action is shown in more detail in the later figures.

I figurerne 3 og 4 er vist en udf0relsesform for en skuffe 14. Skuffen dannes af to i udtrækningsretningen gâende profilemner 26. to ved forsiden pâ tværs af udtrækningsretningen gâende 10 profilemner 27 og 28 samt af et ved den bageste del af profil- emnerne 26 anbragt tværgâende profilemne 29. Profilemnerne 26 er omtrent stoleformet udformede, hvorhos der pâ reolen 11's sidevæg 30 er anbragt et geometrisk lignende profilemne 31, sâ at profilemnerne 26 kan f0res glidende pâ profilemnerne 31. Af 15 profilemnerne 31 er i fig. 3 vist et, og i h0jre side af reolen II findes et tilsvarende spejlvendt profilemne 31.Figures 3 and 4 show an embodiment of a drawer 14. The drawer is formed by two profile blanks 26 extending in the direction of extension, two at the front transversely of the extension direction 10 profile blanks 27 and 28 and one at the rear of the profile blanks 26. transverse profile blank 29. The profile blanks 26 are approximately chair-shaped, with a geometrically similar profile blank 31 being arranged on the side wall 30 of the rack 11, so that the profile blanks 26 can be slid onto the profile blanks 31. Of the 15 blanks 31 are shown in FIG. 3 and on the right side of the shelf II there is a corresponding mirror-facing profile blank 31.

Ved det bageste omrâde af de langsgâende profilemner 26 er der 2q fastgjort et anslag 32, der samvirker med sidevæggen 30 og for- hindrer en fuldstændig udtrækning af skuffen 14 fra reolen 11. Dette anslag 32 kan samtidigt sammen med en fra lâsen 16 akti-verbar mekanisme tjene til lâsning af skuffen.At the rear of the longitudinal profile blanks 26, an abutment 32 is fixed which cooperates with the side wall 30 and prevents a complete pull-out of the drawer 14 from the shelf 11. This abutment 32 can simultaneously be actuated with one of the lock 16 mechanism serve to lock the drawer.

25 Det forreste tværprofilemne 27 danner skuffen 14's forside 15, og det forreste tværprofilemne 28 danner sammen med de vandret-gâende oversider 33 pâ de langsgâende profilemner 26 bærefladen for den i fig. 4 punkteret viste pr0vekasse 17.The front cross profile blank 27 forms the front face 15 of the drawer 14, and the front cross profile blank 28 together with the horizontal upper sides 33 of the longitudinal profile blank 26 forms the support surface for the support of FIG. 4 punctured showed sample box 17.

Det bageste tværprofilemne 29 er sâledes anbragt, at den ind-vendige afstand mellem tværprofilemnerne 28 og 29 omtrent svarer til bredden af en pr0vekasse 17, sâ at tværprofilemnerne 28 og 29 danner anslag for pr0vekassen 17. Derved bliver pr0vekassen fastholdt sikkert i skuffen 14.The rear cross profile blank 29 is arranged such that the internal distance between the cross profile blanks 28 and 29 roughly corresponds to the width of a sample box 17, so that the cross profile blanks 28 and 29 form abutments for the sample box 17. Thus, the sample box is securely held in the drawer 14.
