Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shelving system with the preamble features of claim 1.
  • Such a shelf system in particular for goods display, is known from DE-GM 82 21 774.
  • the shelving system comprises a plurality of at least two floors and between two successive floors a plurality of connecting columns, which can be inserted into column receiving shafts of the floors.
  • the shelves are composed of a plurality of interconnected frame elements supporting the receiving shafts and at least one base plate carried by the frame elements.
  • the shelf Due to the tubular design of the connecting columns serving as spacers between the individual floors, the shelf is not very torsionally rigid, so that deformation of the floors can easily result when it is set up.
  • the sleeves provided on the frame elements for receiving the connecting columns are relatively expensive to manufacture, so that increased production costs result.
  • an extension of the shelf for example to a shelf wall, can only be carried out with increased effort, so that the variability of the shelf is limited.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a torsionally rigid, inexpensive to manufacture and arbitrarily expandable shelving system.
  • the proposed corner connection consisting of a wrap-around bar that can be inserted into a correspondingly complementarily shaped receiving slot, results in a very stable connection, so that the closed shelf frame is very stable is trained.
  • the spacers which can be inserted into an elongated groove on the upper or lower narrow sides also increase the torsional rigidity of the shelf system, so that even heavier loads can be accommodated on the shelf.
  • the formation of at least two receiving slots on the sleeve-like thickening serving as a connecting knot at one end of the frame element or in each case at the corner of the shelf frame results in an advantageous expansion possibility of the shelf system, so that a shelf wall or staggered shelves or angle combinations can be constructed therewith.
  • the easy insertion of the wrap-around strips into the slots provided in the thickened areas also means that the shelf system can be quickly assembled without the need for tools.
  • projections in the central region of the frame elements is particularly advantageous, since this additionally supports the shelves to be inserted, so that relatively thin glass or metal plates can also be inserted.
  • Such a projection on each frame element is relatively easy to manufacture as an integral part in the preferred embodiment as a plastic injection molded part.
  • spacers over the entire surface as a side wall, so that in a simple manner, for. B. on the rear wall and on the end sides, can form a closed shelf, as is desired, for example, for residential purposes.
  • Intermediate shelves can be stored in a simple manner and the shelf can be further subdivided by the simple shaping of attachment strips on such a spacer designed as a side wall.
  • the receiving slots are provided with a keyhole-like cross-section and the wrap-around strip is designed accordingly, so that tensions arise due to the rounded inner or outer shape easier to dismantle and thus a smaller material cross-section can be selected.
  • this again has a favorable influence on the production costs, since this saves starting material.
  • FIG. 1 shows a shelf system 1 in the assembled state, with four horizontally arranged rectangular shelf frames 2 being stacked one above the other. Shelves 3 are inserted into the shelf frames 2, as is partially indicated on the lower shelf frame 2. Between the stacked rack frames 2, several vertically arranged spacers 4 are provided, which are inserted into the narrow sides of the rack frames 2 or their frame elements 5, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • Each shelf frame 2 consists of four identical frame elements 5, each (see FIGS. 2 and 3) at one end carry a thickening 6, into which a plurality of receiving slots 7 are incorporated or are produced during the manufacture, in particular the injection molding, of a plastic material.
  • a gripping bar 8 engages in the receiving slots 7, which is provided at the other end of the frame element 5.
  • at least one elongated groove 9 is provided on the upper and lower narrow sides, into which the corresponding ends of the spacers 4 are inserted.
  • the groove 9 can run continuously from the thickening 6 to the encompassing strip 8, but is preferably divided into a plurality of partial grooves, since this results in reinforcing webs on the frame element 5 which increase the torsional rigidity.
  • each frame element 5 In the middle of each frame element 5, a projection 10 is provided, on which the shelf 3 is additionally supported and thus bending of thin shelves 3 can be avoided.
  • the spacer 4 While the lower rack frames 2 are supported by two spacers 4 on each side in the vertical direction, the spacer 4 is formed as a continuous side wall 11 between the upper rack frames, so that - except for the front - there is a closed shelf compartment.
  • additional horizontally extending attachment strips 12 can also be provided, in particular integrally molded in the manufacture of plastic, so that intermediate shelves 13, as indicated by dash-dotted lines, can be inserted therein.
  • a frame element 5 is in turn inserted into the two still free receiving slots 7 (drawn in dashed lines) in order to thereby expand the possibility of expanding the shelving system 1, e.g. B. to indicate a shelf.
  • FIG. 1 a frame element 5 is shown in perspective. By putting together four such frame elements 5 each, the shelf frame 2 shown in FIG. 1 results.
  • This illustration also shows the Keyhole-like cross-sectional design of the receiving slot 7 and the complementary, key-like cross section of the wrap-around bar 8 located at the other end can be seen.
  • wedge-like inclined surfaces 7a are also provided on the outside, on which correspondingly designed inclined surfaces 8a of the wrap-around bar 8 are supported in the assembled state (cf. in particular FIG. 3).
  • the thickening 6 three receiving slots 7 are provided here, so that the shelf can be expanded in these three directions and thus combinations of angles or stepped shelf shapes can be put together.
  • the thickening 6 can also be produced separately from the strip-like frame element 5, these two parts then via a fourth receiving slot 7 (with 90 ° division) are interconnected, as shown in the right part of FIG. 3. A total of four frame elements 5 can thus be connected to this thickening 6 serving as a connecting or corner knot.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the frame element 5 according to FIG. 2. This shows in particular the exact version of the wrap-around bar 8 in the respective receiving slot 7, so that a torsionally rigid frame construction results.
  • a projection 10 is provided in the central region of the frame element 5, which serves for additional support of a shelf 3.
  • This projection 10 is preferably hollow in order to save material in order to reduce the packaging weight of the shelving system, for example when offering it in take-out furniture stores.
  • the grooves 9 for inserting the spacers 4 are preferably continuous from the top to the bottom.
  • continuous slits may also be present in the area of the projection 10 and in the end areas of the thickening 6 or the wrap-around bar 8, in order to save material during manufacture and in weight.
  • a support surface 14 is provided for the shelves 3 in the region of the sleeve-like thickening 6, so that in the embodiment shown here there is an 8-point support for the shelf 3.
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of the frame element 5 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 with the thickening 6 attached.
  • the grooves 9 are continuous from the top to the bottom of the frame element 5.
  • the receiving slot 7 in the thickening 6 is not continuous over the entire height of the frame element 5, but has a shoulder at the lower end, the height of which the wrap-around bar 8 is also shorter. As a result, an exact insertion position and thus a plane alignment of the assembled shelf frame 2 is achieved.
  • a spacer 4 is shown enlarged, the lower and upper ends being slightly offset, so that these ends can be inserted exactly into the grooves 9 on the upper and lower narrow sides of the frame elements 5.
  • attachment strips 12 are provided approximately in the middle, into which the intermediate floors 13 (cf. FIG. 1) can be inserted.
  • 6 shows the corresponding view rotated by 90 °.
  • the entire surface of the spacer 4 is shown in the form of a closed side wall 11, three tongue-like shoulders being provided at the upper and lower ends, which are provided in correspondingly designed grooves 9 on the upper and lower narrow sides of the successive shelf frames 2 to be inserted (see FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • additional strips 15 can be provided on the broad side of the spacer 4 or the side wall 11. These strips 15 can also serve to support a shelf 3.
  • the shelf system 1 described is particularly suitable for a square outer shape.
  • the shelf frames 2 can also have a triangular basic shape or a hexagonal basic shape, in which case the receiving slots 7 in the sleeve-like thickening 6 are not offset by 90 °, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, but by the corresponding division of 120 or 60 °.
  • the shape of the receiving slots 7 and the correspondingly designed wrap-around strips 8 can also deviate from the preferred key-like or keyhole-like cross-sectional shape, for example be dovetail-shaped.
  • a T-shaped cross-sectional shape of the wrap-around bar 8 and the corresponding design of the receiving slot 7 are also possible.
  • the individual components of the shelving system in particular the frame elements 5 and the spacers 4, either as a strip-shaped design according to FIGS. 5 and 6 or as a flat design according to FIGS. 7 and 8, are preferably produced as plastic injection-molded parts, possibly with incorporated wood grain.
  • wooden strips or wooden panels are also suitable for the design of the spacers 4 or the side walls 11.
  • the execution in metal or glass is also relatively inexpensive.
  • the elongated grooves 9, which extend from the upper to the lower narrow side of the frame elements 5, are designed for the precisely fitting insertion of the spacers 4 or the side walls 11. If these visible grooves 9 should interfere in particular on the front frame element 5, they can also be covered by flat plug strips 16, as is indicated for the front and rear frame element 5 of the uppermost shelf frame 2 in FIG. 1. Likewise, free grooves 9, z. B. the middle part-groove 9 in the second lowermost shelf frame or free receiving slots 7, are covered flush with such headers. If the shelf system is to be expanded, the plug-in strips 16 can be easily removed and then spacers 4 or side walls 16 inserted into the then free grooves 9 will.
  • the free receiving slots 7 in the sleeve-like thickenings 6, into which no wrap-around bar 8 is inserted can be covered flush by correspondingly shaped, suitable connector bars. If the shelf should then be extended towards the front, this connector strip can be quickly removed and instead a wrap-around strip 8 of a frame element 5 can be inserted from above.
