Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shelf with niches for receiving and displaying objects such as books, video cassettes, music cassettes, CD cassettes or the like.
  • a shelf With a generally upright, self-supporting rear wall and at least one shelf.
  • the shelf according to the invention of the type mentioned is characterized in that the load-bearing rear wall, even with the formation of the niches for the objects, is angled and / or curved several times in cross-section and in the transverse direction by the at least one fastened to it Shelf is stabilized or stiffened.
  • the above objective is met in an advantageous manner. Due to the niches formed in the load-bearing rear wall, there are no separate niche rear walls in addition to the load-bearing rear wall, and a subdivision is obtained immediately for separate stacks of goods, so that separate subdivisions, such as partitions or the like, can also be dispensed with. Due to the uneven design of the load-bearing rear wall itself, it is also achieved that the rear wall itself defines a standing area according to its outline configuration, seen in plan view, so that separate uprights are not required.
  • the shelf which is attached to the rear wall itself, stabilizes or stiffens the transversely curved or angled rear wall, so that this and therefore the shelf as a whole can easily absorb forces and moments acting in the transverse direction. By “stabilized or stiffened” is meant that the shelf in the bends or curvatures of the rear wall, i.e. protrudes into the niches and counteracts their bending together or apart in the transverse direction in the manner of a strut.
  • the niches can be formed, for example, by arcuate, trapezoidal or rectangular depressions or bulges in the cross section in the rear wall.
  • the rear wall is generally zigzag in cross section.
  • a symmetrical design of the niches can advantageously be provided, so that, depending on the installation location of the shelf, the objects accommodated in the niches look diagonally with their front side toward one or the other side, at an angle to the general plane of extent of the rear wall.
  • a rear wall is also advantageous in terms of its manufacture.
  • angles defined by the zigzag cross section in the fold areas are right angles.
  • the rear wall With regard to the production of the rear wall, it has proven to be particularly favorable if the rear wall is formed from at least one bent sheet metal. On the other hand, however, especially if other materials for the rear wall are desired, a design can also be advantageous according to which the rear wall consists of at least one profile part, e.g. Extruded profile part is formed.
  • the profile parts can be, for example, extruded profile sections, which is particularly advantageous if the profile part made of metal, e.g. Aluminum.
  • plastic materials can also be selected for the production of the profile part, e.g. ABS or PVC, the profile part can in particular be a deep-drawn part.
  • the rear wall consists of a plurality of sheets or profile parts which are placed side by side, possibly overlapping one another laterally.
  • the sheets or profile parts can be fixed together, e.g. be connected by welding, riveting or gluing, or it can be provided that the sheets or profile parts, e.g. by interlocking in folds, releasably connected to each other.
  • assembly can be particularly simple if only the at least one shelf serves as a connecting means for the sheets or profile parts.
  • a fixed connection in the form of welded connections, adhesive connections or the like could be selected, for example, for fastening the shelf or shelves to the rear wall, but this involves a certain amount of effort during assembly. According to the invention, however, it is of particular advantage for assembly if the or each shelf is simply positively connected to the rear wall for stabilization or stiffening. To do an assembly To enable in the form of simple plug connections, it is also favorable if the rear wall has, for example, horizontal slot openings in which the (respective) shelf is held.
  • the or each shelf is designed on its rear side generally in conformity with the cross-sectional configuration of the rear wall. It is also advantageous here, also in connection with the plug-in connections mentioned above, if the or each shelf is inserted into the slot openings with the sections projecting rearward relative to the cross-sectional configuration of the rear wall. Furthermore, it has proven to be advantageous here if the or each shelf with a e.g. In plan view, a generally rectangular tab extension is inserted into a rear slot opening provided in the niche interior. In order to prevent undesired detachment of the tab extension from the rear slot opening, it is also advantageous if the tab extension is fixed in the rear slot opening by means of a securing element. A particularly quick assembly can be achieved if the securing element is replaced by e.g. generally angular spring clip is formed, for receiving it by snapping immediately below the slot opening for the flap extension an opening is provided relative to the latter for inserting the undercut flap extension.
  • the securing element is replaced by e.g. generally
  • the rear wall is provided with additional niche bends or profiles in the area of the niche walls. It has also proven to be advantageous for a stable accommodation of the objects and for the best possible use of space if two additional niche bends or profiles are provided for each niche, which together define an alternative niche.
  • slot openings are provided in the region of the front and rear folds of the zigzag cross section of the rear wall.
  • This design also has the further advantage that the slot openings can be made simply by punching or cutting in the above, therefore easily accessible fold areas.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a detail of a shelf 1 in a diagrammatic representation, this shelf 1 comprising a load-bearing rear wall 2 which is bent or profiled in a generally zigzag shape, cf. for example also Fig. 2 and Fig. 7, and shelves 3 attached thereto, cf. for example Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 is formed.
  • the zigzag-shaped design of the rear wall 2 makes niches 4 for accommodating objects 5 which are not shown in more detail in FIG. 1, for example in FIG. 2 in the form of non-video cassettes and in FIG. 8 in the form of CD cassettes receive.
  • slot openings 8 and 9 in the form of horizontal incisions are provided in the rear wall 2 both in the area of the front folds 6 of the zigzag shape and in the area of the rear folds, whereby at each rear slot opening 9 directly adjoins a widened opening 10 provided below it (see in particular FIGS. 3 and 6), the purpose of which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the shelf 3 has a rear according to FIGS. 2 and 4 Edge 11, which is essentially in conformity with the cross-sectional configuration of the rear wall 2, that is to say essentially also runs in a zigzag shape, and lies essentially against the rear wall 2, but in the area of the corners or angles associated with the front folds 6 a bridge part as rearward projecting section 12 is provided with which the shelf 3 is inserted through the front slot opening 8, cf. 2, and in the area of the corners assigned to the rear folds 7 there are also tab extensions 15 formed as undercuts 14 with undercuts 14 with which the shelf 3 is inserted or engaged in the rear slot openings 9, cf. in addition to FIG. 2 in particular also FIG. 6.
  • the shelf 3 is deflected slightly downward in comparison with its final position according to FIG. 3 in the area of the rear slot opening 9, that is to say in the interior of the niche, so that the tab extension 15, which is wider than the width of the slot opening 9 can be inserted through the widened opening 10.
  • the tab extension 15 with its edges that delimit the undercuts 14 can reach behind the side edges of the rear slot opening 9, the shelf 3 again in this area due to the material elasticity bends back into its original shape, so that the lateral edges of the rear slot opening 9 engage in the recesses formed by the undercuts 14.
  • an existing, for example, angular spring clip 16 in particular made of plastic, such as ABS, cf. in addition to FIG. 6 also FIG. 5, this spring clip having cranked legs 17, 18 and with shoulders or shoulders formed by the crankings Shoulders 19, 20 lie laterally on the edges of the processed opening 10 and are thus snapped into place.
  • the spring clip 16 serves as a securing element for the shelf 3, which can therefore only be removed from the rear wall 2 again after the securing element or the spring clip 16 has been removed.
  • the shelf 1 has a one-piece rear wall 2, which can be formed, in particular, by a sheet metal that is bent or angled several times.
  • alternative niches 21 can be formed in that the sheet is provided with additional niche bends 21, 22 which belong to one another in pairs and are aligned with one another in the general direction of extension of the rear wall 2.
  • an object 5 such as, for example, a video cassette or a book, can be accommodated in such an alternative or additional niche 21, parallel to the general direction of extent of the rear wall 2, as illustrated by broken lines in FIG. 2. Otherwise, these objects 5 are arranged, for example, at an angle of 45 ° to the general direction of extension of the rear wall 2, as shown in FIG.
  • the front edge 24 of the shelf 3 is corrugated in correspondence with the niches 4, this wave shape also having the advantage that the corners avoid sharp corners, which could otherwise pose a certain risk of injury to people and objects.
  • the shelf 3 or all shelves 3 can also be made of a thin shelf 1 according to FIGS. 1 to 7, for example Made of sheet metal, but it is conceivable to manufacture it from plastic, in particular a VOB3 plastic in accordance with the fire protection regulations.
  • the shelves 3 Due to the insertion of the shelves 3 described in the area of the front folds 6 and rear folds 7, the shelves 3 have sufficient load-bearing and bending strength. On the other hand, these shelves 3 in turn stabilize the rear wall 2 in the transverse direction, i.e. they form a kind of stiffening for the rear wall 2, so that the shelf 1 can easily absorb the transverse forces or moments that occur during normal use in the transverse direction.
  • the shelf 1 can be set up as it is, or leaned against a wall. If necessary, additional support of the shelf 1, for example if an inclined installation is desired, can be provided with the aid of support feet (not illustrated in the drawing) attached to the rear of the rear wall 2.
  • the rear wall 2 was produced in one piece from a sheet metal, a version as an extruded section, for example made of aluminum or plastic, or as an injection molded part made of plastic, of course, being conceivable instead of a sheet metal version.
  • ABS or PVC are particularly suitable as plastics.
  • the one-piece design of the rear wall 2 is not absolutely necessary, and in particular in the case of larger rack devices, it is rather more favorable if the rear wall 2 is constructed from several individual parts, ie from individual sheets or profile parts.
  • the shelves 3 could not be continuous over the entire shelf width, but could also be subdivided (although the shelves 3 will normally be in one piece, since their longer lengths with correspondingly large shelf widths therefore create fewer problems because the shelves 3 seen in plan view have a relatively small width compared to the rear walls 2).
  • the connection function of the shelves 3 if they are divided, the subdivision to others Places are provided than for the rear walls 2, so as to fully meet the stabilizing or stiffening function to achieve a rigid overall rear wall 2.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 an embodiment of a shelf with a divided rear wall 2 is schematically illustrated, the rear wall 2 consisting of individual, angularly bent sheets or of corresponding angular profile parts, e.g. Extruded profile sections made of aluminum or plastic, or else made of deep-drawn parts made of plastic, these individual parts being designated by 25 in FIGS. 8 and 9.
  • These individual parts 25 are each connected to one another adjacent to the front fold 6, this connection being able, for example, to provide a slight overlap of the vertical edges of the individual parts 25 of the rear wall 2. In this area of overlap, indicated at 26 in FIG.
  • the individual parts 25 of the rear wall 2 can, for example, be welded, riveted or glued to one another, or the individual parts 25 can also simply simply abut one another, the connection function guaranteed by the shelf 3 being at least sufficient to ensure a sufficiently stable rear wall 2.
  • Such a loose joining of the rear wall individual parts 25 will be considered above all if the shelves to be assembled are not too wide or the material of the rear wall 2 has a certain minimum rigidity, so that the individual parts 25 lie against one another in the overlap region 26 without any unwanted mutual To ensure deflection.
  • FIG. 9 a detachable connection of the individual parts 25 is illustrated by plugging one into the other, this being made possible by making 25 horizontal incisions in the vertical edge region of the one individual part according to FIG. 9, for example left, and leaving the strip-shaped tabs formed thereby alternately in their position or deflected under cranking, as shown at 27 and 28 in FIG. 9.
  • the undeformed tabs 27 and the cranked, deflected tabs 28 together form a type of slot-shaped insert pocket for the edge of the other individual part 25, so that an undesired deflection of the individual parts 25 against one another, for example in the direction of arrow 29, is avoided.
  • the shelf 3 further holds, as already stated, the shelf or the rear wall 2 in the width direction, see FIG. Arrow 30, firmly together, so that the rear wall 2 is stabilized and overall a sufficiently stiff, stable shelf structure is obtained.
  • FIG. 8 then illustrates an additional niche 21 modified compared to FIG. 2, which is obtained by an additional niche bend or angled portion 22 on only one side of the niches 4, as shown in FIG. 8 on the left side is provided.
  • This allows the objects 5, e.g. CD cassettes, in addition to the inclined position illustrated in full lines in FIG. 8 (which could also be rotated by 90 °, similar to the inclined position of the objects 5 illustrated in FIG. 2 with dash-dotted lines), also with their main plane parallel to the main plane or main direction of extension the rear wall 2 can be arranged as shown in broken lines in Fig. 8.
  • the rearmost CD cassette 5 simply bears against the niche wall opposite the bend or bend 22, as illustrated at 31 in FIG. 8.
  • the rear wall 2 can have a wide variety of configurations in cross-section, with an angular or zigzag-shaped configuration as in FIG. 5 being suitable for such cuboid objects 5, such as the aforementioned video cassettes, CD cassettes, books, audio cassettes, etc. 1 to 9, in particular with right angles of the zigzag configuration, has proven to be particularly advantageous since the objects 5 can then be viewed well from obliquely in front, from one side or the other, on the other hand also simple, trouble-free manufacture is possible.
  • 1 to 9 is also suitable for accommodating other objects, such as bottles, the label of which then, depending on the location of the shelf 1, obliquely forward in one direction or the other against potential buyers.
  • Other objects, such as food packs, can also be picked up and presented in a clearly visible manner.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 two examples of such modified cross-sectional configurations of the rear wall 2 are shown in FIGS. 10 and 11.
  • the rear wall 2 according to FIG. 10 is angled several times such that trapezoidal niches 4 are obtained in cross section.
  • the respective shelf 3, illustrated schematically in FIG. 10 with dashed lines, is again form-fitting in a manner similar to that described above with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6 by inserting sections 12, 13 projecting rearward relative to the cross-sectional configuration of the rear wall 2 into corresponding, 10 not shown slot openings (corresponding to the slot openings 8, 9 according to Figures 2, 3, 6 and 7) attached to the rear wall 2.
  • a similar fastening of the shelf, not shown there, can then also be provided for the rear wall 2 with the cross-sectional configuration according to FIG. 11, in which niches 4 that are circular-arc-shaped, in particular semicircular, are obtained in cross-section.
  • niches 4 that are circular-arc-shaped, in particular semicircular, are obtained in cross-section.
  • FIG. 12 shows an embodiment of a shelf 1 modified compared to FIG. 1 in a diagrammatic view, this modified shelf 1 only having niches 4 with smooth niche walls, i.e. without the bends or angles 22, 23 according to FIG. 2 or 7. Otherwise, the shelf 1 according to FIG. 12 is completely identical to that according to FIGS. 1 to 9, i.e. in particular with a zigzag-shaped or angled rear wall 2, so that a further explanation thereof is unnecessary.
  • the supporting rear wall 2 also forms the partitions in order to separate the objects taken from one another, ie there are niches 4, and furthermore the rear wall 2 profiled in this way also eliminates the need for separate uprights.
  • the shelves 3 are fastened directly to the rear wall 2, preferably by the described plug-in or hook-in connection, the shelves 3 in turn by the fact that their rear edge 11 abuts the rear wall 2 at least in regions or, in other words, in this Intervene positively, stabilize and stiffen the rear wall 2 in the transverse direction.
  • the stabilizing and stiffening effect is even such that a sufficiently rigid rear wall formation or shelf formation is also obtained if, as described, the rear wall is constructed from several, for example, angular individual parts 25 which are joined to one another laterally, for example in the manner shown in FIG 8 and 9 is illustrated. If, in such a case, a rear wall 2 constructed from a plurality of individual parts 25, individual shelf parts are also aligned in alignment in each compartment level, the division of the shelf parts 3 should be such that they overlap the connection points or overlapping areas 26 of the rear wall parts 25 in order to to achieve an overall firm association.
  • the shelves 3 instead of a wavy, e.g. to form sinusoidal front edge 24 also with a straight front edge, as is also indicated in FIG. 10.
  • the rear wall 2 could have such a waveform instead of the cross-sectional configuration according to FIG. 11 with lined up, one-sided arcs.
  • the shelves 3, at least in the rear niche areas with rear hook-shaped sections 13, could also be hooked into corresponding slits in the rear wall 2, which may narrow downward, whereby they can only be unhooked by lifting them in sections, with the shelves 3 being elastically deflected can. In this case, it would also be unnecessary to attach securing elements 16.
