Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shelf support for shelves, display cases or cabinets with a e.g. frame consisting of profile sections, which can be detachably connected to at least one of the profile sections.
  • Shelf supports of the type mentioned at the beginning regularly serve to produce a detachable connection between the frame and the shelves. They are usually connected to the profile sections by screw or plug connections and protrude from the profile sections, so that they can often have a negative influence on the external appearance of the shelf or showcase. In order to achieve a stable position of the shelf or showcase, the profile sections must be connected to a stationary body, in particular a wall, since the shelf supports hardly contribute to stabilizing the shelf.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop the generic shelf support without undue constructive effort so that on the one hand it makes a decisive contribution to the stabilization of the shelf and on the other hand has no decisive influence on the external appearance of the shelf.
  • the object is achieved by inserting it into a recess in the profile section Clamping body released, which is in pressure connection with a section of the shelf projecting into the recess and holds it in the recess.
  • connection between the shelf and the frame can be established by a shelf support which is arranged in its effective state in the frame and is in pressure connection with both the frame and the shelf, so that an almost immovable connection can be established between the shelf and the profile section of the frame.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the approximately horizontally aligned recess is complementary to the clamping body.
  • the clamping body consists of two clamping parts, one of which is in pressure connection with the top side and the other with the bottom side of the shelf.
  • the clamping body in particular made of plastic, can be formed in one piece or from two parts which can be detachably connected to one another. If it is a shelf support for shelves with a bore formed in its section, then it is expedient if the one clamping part has a pin which crosses the bore and which can be detachably connected to a receptacle of the other clamping part.
  • both the shelf supports and the shelves or profile sections are manufactured with certain tolerances, it can be used to create a firm connection be expedient between the shelf and the shelf support if an actuator is arranged between the lower clamping part and the shelf.
  • This actuator can be traversed by a pin and can be connected to a helical path of the lower clamping part and can be adjusted in height. If the actuator arranged in the bottom area of the shelf, which can advantageously be annular, is rotated about its axis, then it is pressed against the bottom side of the shelf, so that the shelf support is not only in pressure connection with the profile section, but also with the shelf.
  • a further expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the top and bottom sides of the clamping parts have grooves which can be positively connected to wall sections of the profile section. These edge areas of the clamping parts prevent the e.g. shelves made of glass with e.g. profile sections made of aluminum come into pressure connection.
  • the wall is provided with vertically extending wall profile pieces, if the profile pieces are releasably connectable to the wall profile pieces and if the distance of the profile pieces from the wall is at least is as large as the thickness of the wall cladding elements.
  • the wall profile pieces have webs or grooves which can be connected to vertically extending grooves or tongues of the profile pieces.
  • a particularly good connection between the profile and the wall profile pieces can be produced if the webs or grooves of the wall profile pieces can be positively connected to the grooves or webs of the profile pieces.
  • the wall profile pieces are designed as semi-hollow profiles open towards the profile pieces.
  • Another useful embodiment provides that vertically adjustable nuts are arranged in the grooves of the wall profile pieces, which can be connected with screws of the profile pieces.
  • an embodiment of the invention provides that the wall cladding elements can be clamped between the wall profile and the profile pieces.
  • the profile section 12 of a shelf shown in FIG. 1 can be detached with a shelf support and a shelf 18 connectable.
  • the profile section 12 has a recess 14 into which a clamping body can be inserted laterally.
  • the clamping body consists of the upper clamping part 20 and the lower clamping part 26.
  • the recess 14, here an approximately horizontal incision of the profile section 12, is designed such that the two clamping parts 20 and 26 can be inserted laterally into it.
  • the upper clamping part 20 has a vertically downward pin 40 and a circumferential and upwardly open groove 34 which can be connected to the wall section 32 of the profile section 12 in a form-fitting manner.
  • the lower clamping part 26 also has a circumferential, but downwardly open groove 38, which can also be positively connected to the wall part 36.
  • the cover side of the lower clamping part has a vertically upwardly projecting hollow cylinder section 30, in the foot region of which a control curve 28 is formed. This cam 28 works together with an actuator 24 which is guided on a helical path of the lower clamping part 26.
  • the pin 40 passes through the shelf 18, which has a bore 22 for this purpose.
  • the section 16 of the shelf 18 is arranged in the recess 14 and is in pressure connection with the clamping parts 20 and 26.
  • the upper clamping part 90 of the shelf support 10 shown in FIG. 5 has a pin 92, the free end of which has a slot 98 and a bead-like extension 96.
  • This extension 96 is arranged in the receptacle 97 in the active state of the shelf support.
  • the end of the upper clamping part 90 arranged in the profile section has a leg 94 which engages behind the section 16.
  • the lower clamping part 106 also has a leg 104 which also engages behind the section 16.
  • the lower clamping part 106 has a helical control cam 109, on which the actuator 110, which has a counter control cam 107, rests and cooperates with the control cam 109.
  • the actuator 110 When the actuator 110 is rotated about the longitudinal central axis 95 of the pin 92, the actuator 110 moves in the direction of the double arrow 93, ie when it is rotated in one direction upwards and when it is rotated in the other direction downwards.
  • the counter control curve 107 is surrounded by an annular and step-shaped shoulder 91, which surrounds the step 89 of the lower clamping part 106 on the radial side.
  • the actuator 106 is therefore secured against radial displacement.
  • the upper and lower clamping parts 90 and 106 In the outer wall area of the profile section, the upper and lower clamping parts 90 and 106 have grooves 142 and 144, in which the wall sections engage.
  • the hollow cylindrical pin 102 of the lower clamping part 106 is dimensioned such that it is not in pressure connection with the shelf 18.
  • a profile section is shown, the axial ends of which fall obliquely downwards or upwards.
  • the side of the profile piece facing the wall has a groove 70, the meaning of which will be explained later.
  • the rear wall of the profile section has a bore 2 and 4, into which screws, not shown, can be inserted.
  • an incision 14 is provided for the shelf support.
  • the profile section 66 also has a bore 6 in this area.
  • FIGS. 6 to 11 show further details of the shelf support designed as a clamping body. It can be seen that the upper and lower clamping parts 90 and 106 are designed such that they can be inserted into the incision 14 (cf. FIGS. 2 to 4) and can be positively connected to them.
  • An actuator 110 is shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, the bottom side of which (see FIG. 13) has a counter-control curve. This is a helical path that works together with the control cam 109.
  • the radial outside of the actuator 110 can be provided with a toothing 87 which can serve for easier actuation of the actuator.
  • the actuator 110 is rotated about its longitudinal center axis, the actuator 110 is moved in the direction of the upper clamping part 90 or away from it, so that the receiving space for the section 16 is reduced or enlarged.
  • the actual task of the actuator 110 is therefore to create a pressure connection between the shelf support and the profile section on the one hand and between the shelf support and the shelf on the other hand.
  • a wall profile piece 52 is shown with a vertically aligned groove 72.
  • the wall profile piece 52 has bores 120 to 126 for screws, not shown, and a web 58 with the legs 130 and 131 projecting from the wall.
  • the groove 72 is formed in the web 58.
  • the nut 62 is then axially adjustable with a bore 62, so that a connection can be established between the profile piece 66 and the wall profile piece 52, as shown in FIG. 20.
  • the web 58 is dimensioned such that it can be positively connected to the groove 70.
  • the wall profile piece 52 can be detachably connected to the wall 50 by means of screws 54 and 56.
  • connection between the wall profile piece 52 and the profile piece 66 can be produced by the screw 64, which can be releasably connected to the nut 62.
  • a wall cladding element 60 and a compensating body 68 made of an elastically deformable material are arranged between the wall profile piece 52 and the profile piece 66.
  • a wall e.g. be provided with mirror elements and a shelf
  • it is first provided with wall profile pieces 52, the thickness of the webs 58 taking into account the thickness of the wall cladding elements 60.
  • the spaced apart and vertically extending wall profile pieces 52 are also matched to the width of the wall covering pieces 60, so that a connection between two wall covering elements 60 and 60 'is in the region of the web 58 and is covered by the profile piece 66. The viewer therefore has the impression that the profile piece 66 is directly connected to the covered wall.
  • FIG. 21 shows a clamping body with an upper part 200 and a lower part 204, which holds the shelf 18 with the bore 22 in place.
  • the pin 202 which is circular in cross section, projects into the bore 22.
  • the inner end of the upper part 200 has a downwardly bent leg 94, on which the inner end of the section 16 can be supported.
  • the lower part 204 of the clamping body is inclined outwards and receives a wedge 220 which can be releasably connected via a screw 214 to a head 216 which is arranged recessed in a recess 218.
  • the lower part 204 has an inwardly directed leg 208 with a bore 210 through which the screw 214 passes.
  • a nut 206 is supported on the leg 208.
  • the clamp body is formed in one piece and has a pin 250 which is carried by the upper part 246 of the clamp body.
  • the lower part 248 of the clamping body has a recess which can be positively connected to the pin 250.
  • an eccentric 244 is mounted in the profile section 12, the outward end of which has a recess 240 for a tool, e.g. Screwdriver. If the eccentric 244 is rotated about its axis 242, it presses against the upper part 246 of the clamping body, so that the shelf 18 is clamped in the clamping body.
  • the eccentric 250 could, however, also be arranged below the clamping body.
  • FIG. 23 shows a wall profile section 260 with a bracket 278, which can be detachably connected to the wall profile section 260 by means of screws 262 and 264 and crosses the profile section 268.
  • the profile section 268 has a recess corresponding to the bracket 278.
  • a plate with a leg 272 is articulated to the end of the bracket 278 projecting from the profile section 268.
  • the connection between the leg 274 and the bracket 278 is made by means of a bolt 274.
  • the bracket 278 has a bore 276 which is provided for further fastening.
  • Such an embodiment of the invention is particularly advantageous for sinks, boxes or the like. Because the console is firmly anchored in two places so that it can carry considerable loads.
  • a profile section 306 in which a base 300 is arranged sunk with a switch 304.
  • the lower end 302 of the base is positively connected to the profile section 306.
  • the upper end has a socket 298 for a fluorescent lamp 294, which is surrounded by a screen 290 made of translucent material.
  • the screen is adapted to the shape of the profile section. Electrical lines, not shown, are laid in the profile section 306.
