Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display case in which at least two horizontal frames spaced one above the other are provided with circumferential grooves on the top and / or bottom, in which plates of the same height are inserted and held vertically.
  • a display case of this type is known (DE-GM 82 10 244).
  • wooden frames are provided which have a circumferential groove of the same depth and thickness on three of their sides upwards and downwards, which serves to accommodate glass plates of a certain thickness, which are inserted into the grooves and clamped in these grooves.
  • the frames On the later front, the frames have a groove twice as wide, into which insert strips with two adjacent grooves are inserted, the width of which in turn corresponds to the width of the first grooves.
  • This double groove is used to hold glass plates in the form of sliding doors that can slide past each other in the double grooves.
  • the frames also have a circumferential shoulder on the inward-facing side, on which additional plates can be placed as the floor or ceiling of the showcase.
  • the invention has for its object to design a display case of the type mentioned so that a simple assembly of the showcase is possible without the use of tools, but without the risk that the cohesion of the components is endangered.
  • the grooves have an attached in the area of at least one upper groove edge and with a movable part protruding into the groove elastic clamping lip, which can be applied laterally to the associated plate and such static friction -, Hardness and elasticity values shows that only very small forces have to be overcome when pressure is applied to the plate during the insertion movement, but when there is tension the moving part on the plate becomes jammed with the effect of securely holding the plates in the grooves.
  • clamping lips act in the manner of barbs which, although they allow the plates to be inserted, do not or only extremely remove them from the grooves difficult and possible with the help of special measures.
  • the width of the groove containing the clamping lip is larger by a certain amount than the thickness of the plates, which is to be matched to the properties of the clamping lip so that it, when it is in contact with the inserted plate, due to the between it and the plate occurring friction, which in turn depends on the coefficient of friction and on the pressing force caused by the elasticity of the lip, is held sufficiently firm to prevent the plate from sliding off the clamping lip.
  • the clamping lip is therefore deformed or compressed when pulled onto one of the plates and therefore presses against the plate with even greater force and with the generation of larger frictional forces. With this configuration, the aforementioned barb effect occurs, which is used here to hold the inserted plates securely in the grooves of the frame.
  • the movable part of the clamping lip in a first embodiment, which has also proven itself in practice, can form its free end.
  • the clamping lip therefore protrudes into the groove with one end facing the groove bottom. If it forms a curved profile bent towards the associated wall of the groove and a tangent placed in the area of the free end on the side of the clamping lip facing the groove runs approximately parallel to the fastening wall for the clamping lip, then the clamping lip forms with the opposite one Groove wall an insertion bevel for the plates to be used, resiliently yields when the plates are inserted, and then lies against the plate with the region of the free end to form the barb effect.
  • Subclaims 6, 7 and 12 identify training opportunities.
  • the subclaims 8 to 11 characterize a possibility through which two clamping lips can also be provided, one of which, when the plates are inserted under elastic deformation, can also be pushed over a dead center region which is perpendicular to the groove wall, so that they have a particularly good hold against removing the plates again.
  • Fig. 1 showcases (1 and 2) are shown, each consisting exclusively of horizontally arranged frames (3) and vertically inserted in the grooves of the same plates, in the exemplary embodiment glass plates (4).
  • the glass plates have different length dimensions since the frame is rectangular, but are all of the same height.
  • the plates (4) as will be explained later, are inserted into grooves (5) running around the inside of the frame (3), while additional glass plates (7) are inserted into outer grooves (6). Since the grooves (6) are designed differently from the grooves (5), these glass plates (7) serve as sliding doors for the shelves (1 and 2).
  • Fig. 3 shows that each of the frames (3) consists of a profile made of plastic, which has upward and downward-facing grooves (5 and 6), and is also provided with an inward circumferential shoulder (8) , which is used in a manner which is not explained in more detail because it is known, for laying floor or ceiling panels to subdivide the display cases (1 and 2) into compartments of different heights.
  • the inner circumferential groove (5) is provided on the inside with a clamping lip (9) protruding into the groove, which is integrally formed on the upper edge of the groove wall (10), in one Area (10a) which is narrower than the remaining width of the wall (10) and which is offset to the outside by a slope (10b) from the course of the wall (10).
  • the inner wall (11) which also forms the intermediate wall between the grooves (5 and 6), has no clamping lip in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3a and 4. Of course, it would also be possible to provide an additional clamping lip there.
  • the width (b) of the groove (5) is greater than the thickness (a) of the plates (4).
  • Figures 3a and 4 show that the clamping lip (9), which is thicker in the area of its attachment point on the wall part (10a) than at its free end (9a), is designed as an arcuate profile, so that between the wall (11 ) and their inward side (9b) towards the groove bottom (5a) creates an ever narrowing gap.
  • the frames (3) shown in the exemplary embodiment are made of hard PVC as extruded profiles.
  • the clamping lips (9) consist of a soft PVC, which in the exemplary embodiment has a hardness of 66 Shore compared to 80 Shore of the hard PVC of the frame (3).
  • the clamping lip (9) is much more elastic than the hard PVC of the rest of the frame (3). In the area (10a) it is extruded in one piece onto the frame profile.
  • the frames themselves are formed by miter cutting and welding the extruded profiles together.
  • FIG. 3a and 4 make it clear that when inserting a plate (4) into the open side of the groove (5), the clamping lip (9) elastically deflects outwards into the end position shown in Fig. 4, in which it is with a part of its surface (9b) bears against the associated side of the plate (4) under a force caused by the elastic deformation.
  • the elastic properties of the soft PVC of the clamping clip (9) are chosen so that the static friction occurring between the clamping lip (9) and the plate (4), for example a glass plate, which is determined by the elastic pressing force and the friction coefficient, is large enough to prevent the plate (4) from sliding off the clamping lip (9) when a tensile force is exerted on the plate (4) in the direction of the arrow (12).
  • the clamping lip (9) will therefore be tempted to pivot clockwise when such a force occurs. As a result, it presses against the plate (4) with a greater force and thus prevents the plate (4) from being pulled out.
  • Figures 5 to 16 show variants of the design of the clamping lip (9), but in which the barb-like effect of the chin lips always occurs to prevent the plates from being removed from the groove (5).
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show a clamping lip (13) which is designed in the manner of an angle profile and which, after the insertion of a plate (4) with the apex (13a), bears against the plate (4).
  • the design is chosen so that when the plate (4) is pulled, the clamping lip (13) swivels clockwise, resulting in a constantly increasing contact pressure between the clamping lip (13) and plate (4) and thus to the leads to the desired clamping effect.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show an embodiment in which the clamping lip (14) is provided at its free end with a hollow profile (15).
  • the wall (10) of the groove (5) is here provided with an arcuate recess (16) so that the hollow profile (15) of the clamping lip (14) when a plate (4) (Fig. 8) is inserted into the recess ( 16) and is therefore hardly deformed itself.
  • the design of the clamping lip (14) must be selected in its fastening area so that the elastic pushing of the clamping lip (14) to the side causes a sufficiently large restoring force that is sufficient to achieve the previously mentioned adhesive effect of the clamping lip (14) on the plate (4). to effect and to ensure the barb function caused thereby.
  • Figures 9 and 10 show a similar embodiment, in which the clamping lip (16) is also provided with a hollow profile (17) at its free end.
  • the articulation point of the clamping lip (16) on the wall (10) is made thinner.
  • the dimensions of the hollow profile (17) and the groove (5) are chosen so that the hollow profile (17) deforms elastically into an oval when a plate (14) is inserted, as shown in FIG. 10. This creates additional elastic restoring forces, which in turn must be sufficient to hold the clamping lip (16) with the part lying against the plate due to the given coefficient of friction when a tensile force is exerted on the plate. Even then the clamping lip (16) is moved clockwise and thereby jams more and more on the plate (4).
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show an embodiment in which two clamping lips (18 and 19), which are approximately teardrop-shaped in cross section and whose narrow side is fastened to the wall (10), are connected to the frame (3).
  • the first, upper clamping lip (18), including its attachment point, is approximately identical to the second clamping lip (19).
  • Fig. 12 shows that when inserting the plate both clamping lips first pivot counterclockwise down to the groove base (5a), but with a pulling force on the plate (4) try to pivot clockwise and thus cause the clamping effect.
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 differs from that of FIGS. 11 and 12 in that two clamping lips (20 and 21) are also provided here.
  • the clamping lips (20 and 21) are part of a common soft PVC profile, which is extruded in one piece with the profile of the frame (3).
  • 13 is the first, upper clamping lip (20) but in contrast to the embodiment of FIG. 11 with the free end not led down into the groove, but protrudes toward the open side of the groove (5). If a plate (4) according to FIG. 14 is therefore inserted, the first clamping lip (20) with its free end is brought into contact with the plate (4) via a groove (5) perpendicular to the walls (10 and 11).
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 show a somewhat modified clamping lip (24) in the form of a hollow profile with an approximately semicircular cross section.
  • this clamping lip (24) has no free lower end directed towards the groove base (5a). Rather, the lower end is also attached to the wall (10) of the groove (5). 16, the hollow profile-like lip (24) is also deformed such that parts of it would have to be pivoted clockwise when a tensile force is exerted on the plate (4).
  • the desired clamping and holding effect between plate (4) and frame (3) therefore also occurs in the illustrated embodiment of FIGS. 15 and 16.
