Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-part shelf, as it can be used in sales rooms, trade fair construction, in the household and in office furnishings.
  • Shelves are part of the basic equipment of shops and private households. They serve for the presentation of goods or for the visible storage of objects of all kinds and are available in a variety of designs and materials on the market.
  • variable floor plans cannot be created at all or only by stringing together several shelves, which are either loosely next to each other or can be screwed together.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a very simply constructed, stable shelf which enables aesthetically pleasing solutions and whose layout can be adapted to the particular circumstances in individual cases.
  • a shelf which consists of a middle part and two side parts, each with a plan in the form of a right-angled isosceles triangle, the plan area of each side part being half as large as that of the middle part and articulated connections between the middle part and the side parts are present, by means of which the side parts can be pivoted between a position in which they rest with a cathete on the hypotenuse of the middle part and a position in which they lie with the hypotenuse on a cathete of the middle part.
  • the shelf forms pillars with a square or rectangular plan.
  • it can be placed against a straight wall or in an corner, or it can be used to convert a column.
  • the shelf is composed of vertical supports arranged at the corners of the triangular floor plans and shelves connected to them, the supports being expediently divided into segments which can be plugged together or screwed together, which can be inserted at one end through holes in one or two shelves and at the other end with a support surface for one or two shelves.
  • the shelf shown in Fig. 1 and 2 consists of three articulated parts, namely a central part R1 and two side parts R2 and R3. 2 all have a rectangular isosceles outline, the area of the middle part R1 being twice as large as the area of each of the two side parts R2 and R3 which have the same plan. Accordingly, each half of the plan of the middle part R1 formed by the perpendicular bisector according to line C-D in FIG. 2 corresponds to the plan of the side parts R2 and R3.
  • each shelf part R1, R2 and R3 is composed of vertical supports 10 and shelves fixedly or releasably attached to them with a vertical spacing.
  • the middle part R1 has an additional vertical support 10 in the middle of the hypotenuse at point C.
  • the joint connections A and B are each one because there existing vertical supports of the central part R1 articulated to the adjacent vertical supports of the side parts R2 and R3.
  • the articulated connections A and B are located at the ends of the hypotenuse of the central part R1 and at one end of the hypotenuses of the side parts R2 and R3.
  • the arrangement is such that when hypotenuses are in alignment, the right-angled corners of the side parts and the middle part are on opposite sides of the alignment line of the hypotenuses.
  • the articulated connections A and B have a sufficiently large pivoting range in order on the one hand to place the hypotenuses of the side parts R2 and R3 against the cathets of the middle part R1 and on the other hand in each case one cathete of the side parts R2 and R3 against the hypotenuse of the middle part R1.
  • the side parts R2 and R3 can assume any matching or different intermediate positions with respect to the middle part R1. This results in a large variability and adaptability of the shelf with great rigidity and good stability due to the connection of the individual shelf parts R1, R2 and R3.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show the shelf in an extended position with a straight rear wall as a wall shelf
  • FIG. 3 a floor plan is shown which is obtained by folding the side parts R2 and R3 with their hypotenuses against the cathets of the middle part R1 . With the resulting rectangular plan, the shelf forms a column.
  • the side parts R2 and R3 can also be pivoted to the opposite side until they each abut against the hypotenuse of the middle part R1 with a catheter according to FIG. 4. Then the shelf forms a column with a square layout. As indicated by dashed lines in Fig. 4, there are slight deviations from the right angle of the side parts of the shelf is possible without significantly impairing its function and appearance.
  • Fig. 5 shows the shelf in the floor plan in a position in which the hypotenuses of the side parts R2 and R3 are aligned with the cathets of the middle part R1.
  • the shelf can line a corner or, depending on the given local conditions, line a column or a ledge on three sides. All of these possible uses are available because the shelves 12 are only supported on the vertical supports 10 and are therefore freely accessible from all sides when the shelves are set up in the middle of a room.
  • Such a placement of the shelf freely in the room, for. 6 shows the hypotenuses of the side parts R2 and R3 are aligned with the hypotenuse of the middle part R1.
  • this embodiment shows the division of the shelves of the middle part R1 into two triangular halves, which are the same size as the shelves of the side parts R2 and R3.
  • the shelf halves of the middle part R1 are each attached to the vertical support at C in the middle of the hypotenuse except at two of its corners.
  • Such a division of the shelves of the central part R1 into two equally large halves is also used in the constructions according to FIGS. 7-10.
  • Fig. 7 the floor plan of the same shelf, which has been described above in various other positions, is shown in a position as a room divider with a small column.
  • the side part shown on the left with its hypotenuse is folded against a catheter of the middle part, while the hypotenuse of the right side part is aligned with the hypotenuse of the middle part.
  • Fig. 8 shows a position modified in contrast to the fact that now a cathete of the right side part with the hypotenuse of Middle section is aligned.
  • the shelf can serve as a wall shelf with a small column. If the right side part according to FIG. 9 is folded against the hypotenuse of the middle part, a triangular shelf with a column results for other applications, such as can be set up in a wall corner, for example.
  • Fig. 10 shows another relative position of the shelf parts, as it can be used to convert a column or a wall projection.
  • the hypotenuse of one side part is aligned with a catheter of the middle part, while the other side part lies with a cathete against the hypotenuse of the middle part.
  • the free space formed between the two side parts is half as wide as in the embodiment according to FIG. 5. Depending on the width of the column to be converted, one or the other of the two mentioned embodiments can be used.
  • Fig. 11 shows a preferred practical embodiment of a shelf to be disassembled. Its supports 10 are broken down into individual segments 16, wherein several segments 16 can be screwed together to form a longer support 10 by means of external and internal threads attached to their ends. Alternatively, it could also be provided that the segments are plugged together at their ends to form supports. The length of the segments essentially corresponds, apart from the screw engagement, the vertical spacing of the shelves.
  • a shelf 12 is releasably attached to each screw connection or connection point of segments 16 arranged vertically one above the other.
  • pipe sections 18 are fixedly attached to the corners of the shelves, the inside diameter of which is smaller than the largest outside diameter of the segments 16, but smaller than the diameter of a tapered end 20 of the segments 16 which is provided with an external thread End 20 through a tube 18 of a frabo dens 12 inserted and screwed to an internal thread 22 at the other end of another segment 16, wherein the axial lengths of the tapered ends 20 and the thread 22 are selected with respect to the length of the pipe sections 18 so that in the assembled state the between two segments 16th axially held shelves 12 have little or no play in the vertical direction.
  • the respectively adjacent vertical supports of the adjacent shelf parts R1 and R2 or R1 and R3 are movably connected by glasses-like intermediate parts 24 according to FIGS. 11 and 11A.
  • simple rings could also be placed around the adjacent supports.
  • a spectacle-shaped intermediate part 24 is inserted axially above and below the tube pieces 18 between these and end faces on the respectively adjacent segments 16, the tapered ends 20 of adjacent segments 16 each extending through the two openings of each spectacle-shaped intermediate part 24 .
  • a pivotable roller 14 is mounted on only one of the supports in accordance with FIG. 11.
  • the lowest intermediate part 24 is held axially between the tube pieces 18 of the lowermost shelves 12 and the bearing housing of the roller 14.
  • the tapered end 20 of its lower segment 16 is screwed to a nut 26 which, in addition to the bearing housing of the roller 14, axially holds the lowermost spectacle-shaped intermediate part 24.
  • the thickness of the spectacle-shaped intermediate parts 24 must be taken into account when dimensioning the lengths of the tube pieces 18, the tapered ends 20 and the internal thread 22.
  • FIG steer A and B instead of two supports articulated via the glasses-shaped intermediate parts 24, one can, according to FIG steer A and B also get along with only a single vertical support 10, the central longitudinal axis of which then forms the pivot axis about which the respective side part R2 or R3 can be pivoted relative to the central part R1.
  • pipe pieces 18 are arranged offset with respect to the average level of the shelves 12 and firmly connected to the shelves 12, z. B. welded that there is an end face of a tube piece 18 on the horizontal central plane of a shelf 12 '. If the adjacent shelf part belonging to the other shelf part, which is denoted in FIG.
  • the shelves of the shelf described can, for. B. consist of metal, glass, wire glass, plastic or coated wood. If side or rear walls are to be attached to the shelf between the shelves, a wire mesh 28 according to FIG. 12 will expediently be used for this. It can e.g. B. be just large enough that its width corresponds to the length of a catheter of the outline of the side parts R2, R3, while its height corresponds to the vertical spacing of the shelves 12.
  • a simple attachment of the wire mesh 28 can be obtained by having all of the vertical wires of the mesh 28 project up over the top horizontal wire and down over the bottom wire, but only two vertical wires, preferably the outermost, at their upper and lower ends are bent according to FIG. 12A.
  • the differently aligned upper ends of the vertical wires can be when mounting the Wire mesh 28 a on the level of a shelf 12 along the rear or side edge extending wire - z.
  • the edge wire of a shelf also made of wire mesh - grasp on both sides, and in a corresponding manner, after this hooking, the upper wire ends of the grid 28 on the edge of a shelf by lowering the wire mesh 28 and the lower wire ends with a horizontal edge wire of the next lower shelf are brought into engagement, the upwardly projecting wire ends of the wire mesh 28 being dimensioned so long that they also remain in engagement with the upper shelf when the cranked lower wire ends of the wire mesh 28 have been placed on the edge wire of the lower shelf.
  • plate-shaped shelves can also be provided with holes at the edge into which a part of the upper and lower wire ends of the wire mesh 28 can be inserted.
