Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Wechselschild, welches aus einem Sichtbehälter gebildet ist, in dem mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Sichtfächer zur Aufnahme von Ziffern, andere Symbole und/oder Worte tragenden Kärtchen vorgesehen sind, welcher Sichtbehälter einen als Kunststoff-Spritzgußteil ausgebildeten Fachkörper, der die zur Aufnahme der Kärtchen dienenden, nebeneinanderliegend angeordneten und durch Leisten voneinander getrennten Fächer bildet, und einen mit einer Sichtöffnung versehenen Außenkörper, in den der Fachkörper von der Seite her einschiebbar ist, aufweist.The invention relates to an interchangeable sign, which is formed from a viewing container, in which several side-by-side viewing compartments are provided for receiving numbers, other symbols and / or cards carrying cards, which viewing container is a plastic injection molded part, which is used for Receiving the cards serving, arranged side by side and separated by strips from each other forms, and has an outer body provided with a viewing opening, into which the compartment can be inserted from the side.

Es sind Wechselschilder vorgenannter Art bekannt, welche zur Preisauszeichnung verwendet werden. Bei einem solchen aus der US-A-4 682 430 bekannten Wechselschild ist der Außenkörper in Form einer Platte ausgebildet, welche an ihrer Rückseite zwei einander gegenüberliegend angeordnete zueinander parallele längslaufende hinterschnittene Leisten trägt, zwischen die der gleichfalls plattenartig ausgebildete Fachkörper, in dessen Fächer Kärtchen einfügbar sind, welche Ziffern und Symbole zur Preisauszeichnung tragen, von der Seite her in Längsrichtung der Leisten eingeschoben werden kann. Der zwischen diese Leisten eingeschobene Fachkörper ist durch den Außenkörper an seiner Vorderseite überdeckt und liegt an seiner Rückseite frei. Die Fächer, bzw. die in die Fächer eingefügten Kärtchen, die sich im Fachkörper befinden, sind durch im Fachkörper an jedem Fach vorgesehene Öffnungen und durch ein im Außenkörper vorgesehenes durchsichtiges Fenster sichtbar; zur Erzielung eines ansprechenden Aussehens der durch die Ziffern und Symbole der in die Fächer des Wechselschildes eingefügten Kärtchen verkörperten Information ist am Außenkörper eine das Fenster umrahmende Abdeckmaske vorgesehen. Eine solche umrahmende Abdeckmaske kann in Form eines im Siebdruckverfahren hergestellten Aufdruckes ausgebildet sein. Die Herstellung einer derartigen Maske bringt einen verhältnismäßig großen zusätzlichen Aufwand mit sich. Bei einem anderen Wechselschild eingangs erwähnter Art ist der mit einer Sichtöffnung versehene Außenkörper in Art eines Rahmens ausgebildet, der an der Oberseite eine Einschuböffnung aufweist und eine weit ausgeschnittene Rückwand besitzt, wobei in diesen Außenkörper ein plattenartiger Fachkörper eingeschoben ist, der an seiner Vorderseite, welche der Sichtöffnung des Außenkörpers zugekehrt ist, Fächer für die Aufnahme von Ziffern oder Symbole tragenden Kärtchen aufweist, und es ist zwischen der Sichtöffnung des Außenkörpers und dem Fachkörper eine zusätzliche, ein Sichtfenster bildende Platte angeordnet, welche vor dem Einschieben des Fachkörpers in den Außenkörper auf den Fachkörper, dessen Fächer abdeckend, aufgelegt und zusammen mit dem Fachkörper in den Außenkörper eingeschoben wird. Der Einsatz einer solchen als Fenster wirkenden durchsichtigen Platte, welche zwischen die Sichtöffnungsseite des Außenkörpers und den Fachkörper eingefügt wird, belastet den für die Herstellung der Teile des Wechselschildes erforderlichen Aufwand und verursacht auch einen Mehraufwand bei der Manipulation, welcher jedesmal, wenn an den Ziffern, Symbole oder dergl. tragenden Kärtchen im Wechselschild eine Veränderung vorgenommen wird, erneut zum Tragen kommt. Weiters ist die bei diesem Wechselschild an der Rückwand vorliegende Öffnung, die sich durch den weiten Ausschnitt ergibt, nachteilig; das Einschieben des Fachkörpers von oben her führt oft zu Klemmerscheinungen.Change signs of the aforementioned type are known which are used for price labeling. In such an interchangeable shield known from US-A-4 682 430, the outer body is designed in the form of a plate which carries on its back two mutually opposed, parallel, longitudinal undercut strips, between which the likewise plate-shaped compartment body, in its compartments, cards insertable, which digits and symbols for price labeling, can be inserted from the side in the longitudinal direction of the strips. The compartment inserted between these strips is covered by the outer body on the front and is exposed on the back. The subjects, or the cards inserted into the subjects, which are located in the compartment, are visible through openings provided in the compartment on each compartment and through a transparent window provided in the outer body; In order to achieve an appealing appearance of the information embodied by the numbers and symbols of the cards inserted into the compartments of the removable sign, a cover mask framing the window is provided on the outer body. Such a framing mask can be designed in the form of an imprint produced using the screen printing process. The production of such a mask involves a relatively large additional effort. In the case of another interchangeable sign of the type mentioned at the outset, the outer body provided with a viewing opening is in the manner of a frame formed, which has an insertion opening at the top and has a widely cut out rear wall, a plate-like compartment body is inserted into this outer body, which has on its front side, which faces the viewing opening of the outer body, compartments for receiving cards or numbers carrying symbols , and it is arranged between the viewing opening of the outer body and the compartment, an additional plate forming a viewing window, which is placed on the compartment, covering its compartments, and pushed together with the compartment into the outer body before the insertion of the compartment into the outer body. The use of such a transparent plate acting as a window, which is inserted between the viewing opening side of the outer body and the compartment body, burdens the effort required for the production of the parts of the exchangeable sign and also causes an additional effort in the manipulation, which each time when the numbers, Symbols or similar carrying cards in the change sign a change is made, comes into play again. Furthermore, the opening on the rear wall of this removable sign, which results from the wide cutout, is disadvantageous; inserting the compartment from above often leads to jamming.

Es ist ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Wechselschild eingangs erwähnter Art zu schaffen, welches einfach und mit geringem Aufwand herstellbar ist und welches beim Zusammensetzen seiner Einzelteile, welches ja auch bei jeder Änderung der im Schild befindlichen Kärtchen vorzunehmen ist, einfach handhabbar ist; es soll auf einfache Weise, ohne daß es hierfür eines zusätzlichen Aufwandes bedarf, ein ansprechendes Äußeres erzielbar sein, insbesondere eine Umrahmung des Sichtfeldes bzw. der Sichtfelder dahingehend, daß die Ränder der Kärtchen sauber abgedeckt sind und gewünschtenfalls mehrere je für sich ein Sichtfeld bildende, nebeneinander liegende Bereiche umrahmt sind. Das zu schaffende Wechselschild soll auch nach außen hin geschlossen sein, was besonders bei einer Verwendung im Lebensmittelverkaufsbereich von Bedeutung ist; es soll auch die Möglichkeit bestehen, an einer die Sicht nicht beeinträchtigenden Stelle des Außenkörpers Trag- oder Verbindungselemente anzuordnen, mit denen das Wechselschild in geeigneter Weise in Vitrinen, in Schaufenstern, an Regalen oder an anderen Bedarfsplätzen aufgestellt bzw. angebracht werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide an interchangeable sign of the type mentioned at the outset, which can be produced easily and with little effort and which is easy to handle when assembling its individual parts, which is also to be carried out whenever the cards in the sign are changed; it should be possible to achieve an appealing appearance in a simple manner, without requiring additional effort, in particular framing the field of vision or the fields of vision in such a way that the edges of the cards are neatly covered and, if desired, several each forming a field of vision, adjacent areas are framed. The removable sign to be created should also be closed to the outside, which is particularly important when used in the food retail sector; there should also be the possibility of a non-obstructing view Place the outer body support or connecting elements with which the removable sign can be set up or attached in a suitable manner in showcases, in shop windows, on shelves or at other places of need.

Das erfindungsgemäße Wechselschild eingangs erwähnter Art ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der als Kunststoff-Spritzgußteil ausgebildete Fachkörper als durchsichtige rechteckige Platte ausgebildet ist, die zur Gänze in einen als Rahmen mit geschlossener Rückwand und einer seitlichen Einschuböffnung ausgebildeten Außenkörper, dessen Vorderwand durch eine eine oder mehrere offene Sichtöffnung(en) umgebende Umrahmung gebildet ist und dessen Wände undurchsichtig sind, einschiebbar ist, wobei die den Fachkörper bildende Platte selbst ein an der Rückseite der die Sichtöffnung(en) umgebenden Umrahmung anliegendes und diese Sichtöffnung(en) überdeckendes Fenster bildet und an ihrer Rückseite die Leisten trägt, welche den an der Rückseite dieser Platte gelegenen Raum in mehrere nebeneinanderliegende Sichtfächer teilen. Durch diese Ausbildung kann der vorstehend angeführten Zielsetzung gut entsprochen werden. Das erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Wechselschild besteht aus bloß zwei Teilen, welche beide auf einfache Weise aus Kunststoff im Spritzgußverfahren gefertigt werden können, wobei es möglich ist, den Außenkörper wie auch den Fachkörper durch einen solchen üblichen, einfach durchzuführenden Formvorgang fertig herzustellen, so daß keine ergänzenden Fertigungsschritte, wie z.B. Bedrucken, notwendig sind. Die eine Umrahmung für eine Sichtöffnung oder für mehrere Sichtöffnungen bildende Vorderwand kann problemlos bei der Formgebung des Außenkörpers gebildet werden, und es kann die undurchsichtige Ausbildung der Wände des Außenkörpers einfach dadurch erhalten werden, daß ein entsprechend undurchsichtiges Material zur Herstellung des Außenkörpers verwendet wird. Ebenso ist die durchsichtige Ausbildung der den Fachkörper bildenden rechteckigen Platte durch entsprechende Materialwahl leicht zu erzielen. Das Zusammensetzen der beiden Teile des erfindungsgemäßen Wechselschildes kann durch einfaches Einschieben des Fachteiles in die hiezu am Außenkörper vorgesehene seitliche Einschuböffnung vorgenommen werden, ohne daß es dabei zusätzlicher Rücksichten auf weitere Teile bedarf; Analoges gilt für das Herausziehen des Fachkörpers aus dem Außenkörper, wenn eine Veränderung der Anzeige des Schildes vorgenommen werden soll. Es steht die Außenseite der Rückwand des Außenkörpers gewünschtenfalls voll für die Anbringung oder Anformung von Trag-oder Verbindungselementen zur Verfügung, wobei durch solche Trag-oder Verbindungselemente die Möglichkeit den Fachkörper auf einfachste Weise in den Außenkörper einfügen zu können oder aus diesem herausziehen zu können, keine Beeinträchtigung erfährt. Das erfindungsgemäße Wechselschild hat auch einen geschlossenen Aufbau, da die den Fachkörper bildende Platte an der Innenseite der die Sichtöffnung(en) umgebenden Umrahmung anliegt und der Fachkörper an jener Stelle, die im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Schildes an der Einschuböffnung des Außenkörpers zu liegen kommt, so geformt werden kann, daß er diese Einschuböffnung verschließt. Das Einschieben des Fachkörpers von der Seite her vermeidet weitestgehend Klemmerscheinungen beim Einschieben des Fachkörpers.The interchangeable sign according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the molded body, which is designed as a plastic injection-molded part, is designed as a transparent rectangular plate which is entirely formed into an outer body which is designed as a frame with a closed rear wall and a lateral insertion opening, the front wall of which is covered by one or more open ones The surrounding opening (s) is formed and the walls are opaque, can be inserted, the panel forming the compartment itself forming a window adjacent to the rear side of the surrounding frame and covering these viewing opening (s) and on its rear side carries the strips, which divide the space on the back of this panel into several side-by-side compartments. With this training, the above-mentioned objective can be met well. The interchangeable shield designed according to the invention consists of only two parts, both of which can be easily produced from plastic by injection molding, it being possible to manufacture the outer body as well as the specialist body by such a conventional, easy-to-carry out molding process, so that no additional manufacturing steps are required , such as printing, are necessary. The front wall forming a frame for a viewing opening or for a plurality of viewing openings can be easily formed in the shaping of the outer body, and the opaque design of the walls of the outer body can be obtained simply by using a correspondingly opaque material for producing the outer body. Likewise, the transparent design of the rectangular plate forming the compartment is by appropriate choice of material easy to achieve. The assembly of the two parts of the interchangeable plate according to the invention can be carried out by simply pushing the compartment part into the side insertion opening provided on the outer body without additional considerations of further parts being required; The same applies to the pulling out of the specialist body from the outer body if the display of the sign is to be changed. If desired, the outside of the rear wall of the outer body is fully available for the attachment or molding of support or connection elements, such support or connection elements being able to insert or remove the compartment body in the outer body in a very simple manner, undergoes no impairment. The interchangeable shield according to the invention also has a closed structure, since the plate forming the compartment rests on the inside of the frame surrounding the viewing opening (s) and the compartment at the point that comes to rest on the insertion opening of the outer body when the shield is assembled, so can be shaped so that it closes this insertion opening. The insertion of the compartment from the side largely prevents pinching when inserting the compartment.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Wechselschildes, welche eine besonders einfache Handhabung beim Einschieben des Fachkörpers in den Außenkörper ergibt und auch die Kärtchenmanipulation auf sehr einfache Weise vornehmen läßt, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an der den Fachkörper bildenden Platte, die in Richtung ihrer Längserstreckung durch die seitliche Einschuböffnung des Außenkörpers einschiebbar ist, mehrere zur Aufnahme der Kärtchen dienende Sichtfächer in Richtung der Längserstreckung dieser Platte aufeinanderfolgend und je bis an mindestens einen Längsrand der Platte reichend angeordnet sind und dort durch eine Rippe begrenzt sind, wobei diese die Fächer begrenzenden Rippen vorzugsweise zu einer an einem Längsrand der Platte verlaufenden Leiste vereint sind. Es gibt dabei das vorzugsweise vorgesehene Vereinen der die Fächer an einem Längsrand der Platte begrenzenden Rippen zu einer Leiste eine zusätzliche Gleitführung, welche das Einschieben der Platte weiter vereinfacht. Es ist für eine einfache Manipulation der Kärtchen und auch für das Zusammensetzen des erfindungsgemäßen Schildes weiter vorteilhaft, wenn man vorsieht, daß die an der Rückseite der den Fachkörper bildenden Platte angeordneten, die Sichtfächer begrenzenden Leisten hinterschnitten ausgebildet sind.A preferred embodiment of the interchangeable plate according to the invention, which results in a particularly simple handling when inserting the specialist body into the outer body and also allows the card manipulation to be carried out in a very simple manner, is characterized in that on the plate forming the specialist body, which in the direction of its longitudinal extension through the Lateral insertion opening of the outer body is insertable, several viewing compartments for receiving the cards are arranged in the direction of the longitudinal extension of this plate in succession and each reaching up to at least one longitudinal edge of the plate and are delimited there by a rib, these ribs delimiting the compartments preferably being one are united on a longitudinal edge of the panel running strip. There is preferably that provided associations of the ribs delimiting the compartments on a longitudinal edge of the plate to form a strip, an additional sliding guide which further simplifies the insertion of the plate. It is further advantageous for a simple manipulation of the cards and also for the assembly of the shield according to the invention if one provides that the strips arranged on the back of the panel forming the compartment body and underlining the compartments for the compartments are undercut.

Das in den Fig. 1 bis 5 dargestellte Wechselschild 1 ist aus einem Sichtbehälter gebildet, der aus einem Außenkörper 2 und einem Fachkörper 3 zusammengesetzt ist und in dem mehrere Sichtfächer 4 zur Aufnahme von Kärtchen 5 vorgesehen sind, welche Ziffern, andere Symbole (z.B. Maßangaben) und/oder Worte tragen.The interchangeable plate 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is formed from a viewing container, which is composed of an outer body 2 and a compartment body 3 and in which several viewing compartments 4 are provided for receiving cards 5, which numbers, other symbols (e.g. dimensions ) and / or carry words.

Der Fachkörper 3 ist als durchsichtige rechteckige Platte ausgebildet, die zur Gänze durch eine seitliche Einschuböffnung 7 in den als Rahmen mit geschlossener Rückwand 8 ausgebildeten Außenkörper 2 eingeschoben ist. Die Vorderwand des Außenkörpers 2 ist durch eine Umrahmung 9 gebildet, welche eine Sichtöffnung 6 umgibt. Der durchsichtige Fachkörper 3 bildet ein Fenster, welches die Sichtöffnung 6 überdeckt und an der Rückseite 10 der die Sichtöffnung 6 umgebenden Umrahmung 9 liegt. Die Sichtfächer 4 und damit die in diesen Sichtfächern angeordneten Kärtchen 5 sind durch die Sichtöffnung 6 und die ein Fenster bildende Platte hindurch sichtbar; die Kärtchen 5 sind in die Sichtfächer 4 so eingefügt, daß die auf den Kärtchen befindlichen Ziffern, Symbole oder dergl. diesem Fenster bzw. der Sichtöffnung 6 zugewandt sind. Die den Fachkörper 3 bildende Platte trägt an ihrer Rückseite 11 Leisten 12, welche den an der Rückseite des Fachkörpers 3 gelegenen Raum 14 in mehrere nebeneinanderliegende Sichtfächer 4 teilen.The compartment body 3 is designed as a transparent rectangular plate, which is inserted entirely through a lateral insertion opening 7 into the outer body 2, which is designed as a frame with a closed rear wall 8. The front wall of the outer body 2 is formed by a frame 9 which surrounds a viewing opening 6. The transparent compartment body 3 forms a window which covers the viewing opening 6 and on the back 10 of the frame 9 surrounding the viewing opening 6. The viewing compartments 4 and thus the cards 5 arranged in these viewing compartments are visible through the viewing opening 6 and the plate forming a window; the cards 5 are inserted into the viewing compartments 4 so that the numbers, symbols or the like on the cards face this window or the viewing opening 6. The plate forming the compartment body 3 carries on its back 11 strips 12 which divide the space 14 located on the back of the compartment body 3 into a plurality of viewing compartments 4 lying side by side.

Die den Fachkörper 3 bildende Platte ist in Richtung ihrer Längserstreckung 15 durch die seitliche Einschuböffnung 7 in den Außenkörper 2 einschiebbar. Es sind mehrere zur Aufnahme der Kärtchen 5 dienende Sichtfächer 4 in Richtung der Längserstreckung dieser Platte aufeinanderfolgend angeordnet, wobei diese Sichtfächer bis zum Längsrand 16 der Platte reichen und dort durch eine Rippe 17 begrenzt sind. Diese Rippen sind dabei zu einer am Längsrand der Platte verlaufenden Leiste vereint, und es ist solcherart sowohl ein die Kärtchen 5 stützender Anschlag als auch eine Abstützung der den Fachkörper 3 bildenden Platte selbst geschaffen, welche das Anliegen des Fachkörpers an der Rückseite 10 der Umrahmung 9 unterstützt und eine vorteilhafte Führung beim Einschieben des Fachkörpers 3 in den Außenkörper sowie beim Herausziehen des Fachkörpers 3 aus dem Außenkörper 2 bildet.The plate forming the compartment body 3 can be inserted into the outer body 2 in the direction of its longitudinal extension 15 through the lateral insertion opening 7. There are several viewing compartments 4 for receiving the cards 5 arranged in succession in the direction of the longitudinal extent of this plate, these viewing compartments reaching as far as the longitudinal edge 16 of the plate and being delimited there by a rib 17. These ribs are combined to form a strip running along the longitudinal edge of the plate, and in this way both a stop supporting the cards 5 and a support of the plate forming the compartment body 3 itself are created, which support the contact of the compartment body on the rear side 10 of the frame 9 supports and forms an advantageous guide when inserting the compartment body 3 into the outer body and when pulling the compartment body 3 out of the outer body 2.

Die an der Rückseite 11 der den Fachkörper 3 bildenden Platte angeordneten Leisten 12, welche die Sichtfächer begrenzen, können einen einfachen rechteckigen Querschnitt haben. Es ist aber im Sinne einer einfachen Manipulation beim Einfügen der Kärtchen 5 in die Sichtfächer 4 und beim Einführen des Fachkörpers in den Außenkörper von Vorteil, wenn die Leisten 12 hinterschnitten ausgebildet sind, d.h. Hinterschneidungen 18 aufweisen, durch die eine zusätzliche Fixierung der Kärtchen 5 in den Sichtfächern 4 erzielt wird.The strips 12 which are arranged on the rear side 11 of the plate forming the compartment body 3 and which delimit the viewing compartments can have a simple rectangular cross section. However, in the sense of simple manipulation when inserting the cards 5 into the visible compartments 4 and when inserting the compartment body into the outer body, it is advantageous if the strips 12 are undercut, i.e. Have undercuts 18, by means of which the cards 5 are additionally fixed in the viewing compartments 4.

Die Wände des Außenkörpers 2, und damit auch die die Sichtöffnung 6 umgebende Umrahmung 9, welche die Vorderwand des Außenkörpers bildet, sind undurchsichtig, und es ist so auf einfache Weise eine Abdeckung von Endrändern der Kärtchen 5, von Enden der Leisten 12 und von anderen baulichen Details an der Rückseite des Fachkörpers 3 geschaffen.The walls of the outer body 2, and thus also the frame 9 surrounding the viewing opening 6, which surrounds the front wall of the outer body are opaque, and so it is easily covered end edges of the cards 5, ends of the strips 12 and other structural details on the back of the compartment body 3.

Die Außenseite 20 der Rückwand 8 des Außenkörpers 2 steht zum Anbringen oder Anformen von Aufstell-, Befestigungs- oder Verbindungselementen 21 frei zur Verfügung, und es ist das Anordnen solcher Elemente 21 in der Zeichnung strichliert angedeutet.The outer side 20 of the rear wall 8 of the outer body 2 is freely available for attaching or shaping installation, fastening or connecting elements 21, and the arrangement of such elements 21 is indicated by dashed lines in the drawing.

Bei der in Fig. 6 dargestellten Ausführungsform eines Wechselschildes sind mehrere Sichtöffnungen 6a, 6b, 6c vorgesehen, welche von der die Vorderwand des Außenkörpers des Wechselschildes bildenden Umrahmung 9 umgeben sind. Hinter den Sichtöffnungen 6a, 6b befindet sich dabei je ein ein Kärtchen aufnehmendes Sichtfach, während hinter der Sichtöffnung 6c mehrere Sichtfächer, die je ein Kärtchen aufnehmen, angeordnet sind.In the embodiment of an interchangeable shield shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of viewing openings 6a, 6b, 6c are provided, which are surrounded by the frame 9 forming the front wall of the outer body of the interchangeable shield. Behind the viewing openings 6a, 6b there is a viewing compartment each accommodating a card, while behind the viewing opening 6c there are several viewing compartments, each accommodating a card.

Zum Erleichtern des Herausziehens des Fachkörpers 3 aus dem Außenkörper 2 ist an die Einschuböffnung 7 angrenzend in der Rückwand 8 des Außenkörpers 2 eine Vertiefung 22 vorgesehen, welche das Erfassen eines Ansatzes 23, der sich an dem in der Öffnung 7 liegenden Ende des Fachkörpers 3 befindet, erleichtert.In order to facilitate the pulling out of the compartment body 3 from the outer body 2, a recess 22 is provided adjacent to the insertion opening 7 in the rear wall 8 of the outer body 2, which depression is used to grasp an extension 23 located at the end of the compartment body 3 lying in the opening 7 , facilitated.

Der Fachkörper 3 ist an seinem in der Einschuböffnung 7 gelegenen Ende verdickt ausgebildet, z.B. mit einer Randleiste 24 versehen, und schließt auf diese Weise die Einschuböffnung 7 ab.The compartment body 3 is thickened at its end located in the insertion opening 7, e.g. provided with an edge strip 24, and in this way closes the insertion opening 7.

Man kann gewünschtenfalls auch in Einschubrichtung der den Fachkörper 3 bildenden Platte verlaufende Sichtfächer bilden, indem man Leisten 12 vorsieht, welche in Einschubrichtung verlaufen. Auf diese Weise kann man mehrere übereinander plazierte Sichtfächer vorsehen.If desired, it is also possible to form visible compartments running in the direction of insertion of the plate forming the compartment body 3 by providing strips 12 which run in the direction of insertion. In this way, you can provide several compartments placed one above the other.
