Description

The invention relates to a notice board, in particular for household or kitchen use, with a ferromagnetic board, on the lower edge of which a shelf is arranged in a positive or non-positive manner.

Notice boards are preferably known in the office area, magnetic holding forces being used to hold plans or notes with permanent magnetic holders on ferromagnetic notice boards. It is also known to design these notice boards as writable with fiber pens, for example, in which the writing can be easily wiped off at any time with a wiper. To store fiber pens, shelves are provided at the lower edge of such notice boards at right angles to their plane. In the domestic area, notice boards are also known as PIN walls, in which those to be kept Notes with pins, pins, tacks or the like. to which notice boards, often made of cork, are attached. There is no storage here, notes are noted on paper (possibly on the PIN wall) and attached to the PIN wall. On the other hand, dispensers are also known for kitchen use, which, equipped with one or more film rolls, allow the removal of desired films of the desired length, and often also with a storage for small objects, such as tacking pins, rubber rings or the like. are provided. While PIN walls, especially for kitchens with their rough surface, offer the possibility of deposits, the dispensers do not have the desired and often required memory options.

This is where the invention comes in, which is based on the object of developing a known notice board in such a way that it can be used universally in the kitchen area and - as a continuation of the task - can also be used as a wall container or as a table container.

This task is solved by the characteristic of the main claim; advantageous further developments and preferred embodiments describe the subclaims.

The storage of known notice boards is designed here as a utensil container which has at least one vertically oriented quiver compartment open at the top, preferably a number of vertically oriented quiver compartments open at the top. With this training, a notice board is created that allows multiple filing. This utensil container is advantageously divided approximately halfway up into an upper and a lower area. A horizontal dividing plate acts as a divider and extends at least over part of the width of the utensil container. With this training, the notice board is provided with a multifunctional storage option in the form of the utensil container, which can be used in a variety of ways.

The upper area of the utensil container essentially has the vertically oriented, open top compartments; in a preferred embodiment, the utensil container is below the storage tray and receptacle with a means for inserting hooks or the like. provided hook strip. This means that the space under the storage tray (and possibly also under the storage holder) is used to attach means for attaching objects, whereby these means can also be designed as containers so that objects to be stored can be inserted, or that they are designed as support means allow items to be stored to be placed on them. The hook strip advantageously has an insertion of hooks or the like to the level of the rear wall. allowable distance.

For attaching, the hook strip has holes at intervals, arranged in a regular pattern, as a means for attaching hooks or the like. on which hooks can be detachably hung; in another embodiment, hanging slots are arranged in a regular pattern at intervals, as a means for attaching hanging shells or the like, into which hanging shells can be detachably hung. It goes without saying that perforated patterns and hanging slots can also be combined. For example, hooks can be inserted into the holes, as is known from perforated walls; Stacking containers provided with corresponding hooks can be attached to the suspension slots, so that additional storage space for bulk material is also created. The distance to the rear wall level gives the space necessary for reaching behind the hook strips, so that the hooks can be guided through the holes or slots and hung in without problems.

Advantageously, the receptacle arranged in the lower region has a storage shelf at its lower edge as the lower end, so that an essentially horizontally oriented storage compartment results. In an advantageous further development, a storage tray subdivided with intermediate walls is provided in the upper central region. In a further development, this is delimited by a first partition wall running parallel to the rear wall, and together with the rear wall this forms an adjustment compartment with a depth of at most 1/4 of the depth of the storage tray. This relatively narrow adjustment compartment, which extends over the entire height of the storage tray, can be used, for example, to insert note pads, in particular the notices provided with an adhesive edge, but also loose notes. Because of this In the storage compartment there is the option of always having a slip of paper ready for use.

For longer objects, such as scissors, screwdrivers and the like. To be able to adjust, advantageously forms at least one of the quiver compartments an adjusting quiver, which is guided over the entire height of the utensil container. The horizontal dividing plate is interrupted for this adjusting case or - if the adjusting case is on the edge - shortened. In a further development, a storage tray is provided in the central area. Advantageously, at least one additional partition is also provided in the storage tray, which divides the front part of the storage tray into individual trays. This means that small items - such as thumbtacks, rubber rings, clips of all kinds or the like - can be kept separately within reach.

In another, likewise preferred embodiment, one of the quiver compartments is designed as a receiving compartment for a roll of adhesive tape. The adhesive tape roll is placed on a core that is provided with stub axles on both sides. In order to be able to fix the adhesive tape roll in its storage compartment, these stub axles engage in the means for holding the axle, with which the front wall and the partition wall of the storage compartment for the adhesive tape roll are provided. In one embodiment, axis receptacles formed by inner strips are provided as such means. Alternatively, axis receptacles formed by grooves are provided as such means. These axis receptacles thus formed enable the adhesive tape roll to be fixed in its receiving compartment.

The axle receptacles are advantageously L-shaped, with a bearing leg pointing approximately in the pull-off direction of the adhesive strip. This configuration gives the stub axles a defined system, at least when the adhesive strip is removed. In addition, if these bearing legs are inclined downwards, the adhesive tape roll is guided in its system in the idle state, so that the adhesive tape roll is already in its contact position when it is unrolled. If - in an advantageous further development - the transition to the bearing leg is provided with a constriction, the Do not slide the stub axle out of the bearing legs by yourself, it takes a certain amount of force to remove the roller core. This improves the storage security.

In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting quiver is provided on the linen side of the storage tray and the storage compartment for the adhesive tape roll on its right side. This arrangement is the advantageous arrangement for right-handers and thus for the majority of users; the insertion case with the greatest adjustment height is provided on the left side, so that even longer objects placed there - such as scissors, letter openers or pens - can be easily gripped and removed. On the right side is the holder, which is provided with an adhesive tape roll in the storage compartment, which can then be removed from the side to the right, so that the removed adhesive tape can be held with the right hand and immediately stuck to where it is needed becomes. The object to be provided with the adhesive strip can also be held with the left hand.

In order to be able to easily tear off the removed adhesive strip by means of a jerk, the edge of the side wall of the receiving compartment, over which the unrolled adhesive tape is guided, advantageously has a cutting or tear edge, separate cutting of the unrolled adhesive tape is superfluous, a strong pull is sufficient with the hand that has peeled off the tape from the roll; when the storage compartment for the adhesive tape roll is arranged on the right side of the utensil container, this is the right hand. The end of the adhesive tape sticks to the cutting edge. To better fix this free end, the side wall provided with the cutting edge is provided with a horizontal support web, which is arranged slightly below the level of the cutting edge and allows the free end of the adhesive strip to be attached. This tacking takes place in front of the cutting edge, so that on the one hand there is a secure adhesive fixation and on the other hand that there is no excess of the adhesive tape which has to be lifted laboriously from the outer wall and may no longer adhere.

In order to be able to detach the adhesive strip from this attachment, the front wall of the storage compartment is provided with a recess which allows the adhesive tape to be gripped underneath. In this way, the adhesive tape can be "lifted" from a finger guided through this recess under the strips and can thus be detached from the support web. To make it easier, this support web can be provided with ribs which considerably reduce the adhesive surface and thus reduce the force required for detachment.

The utensil container is non-positively or positively - for example by means of a screw or adhesive connection - connected to the notice board; It is advantageous if means are provided for releasably attaching the utensil container to the ferromagnetic notice board. These means allow separation, so that the utensil container can be used both with and without a notice board; Notice boards of different sizes can also be set, which increases the universality. Knobs and corresponding perforations can be provided as such means for detachable attachment, which interact with one another in a form-fitting or non-positive manner; these are advantageously formed like a keyhole, so that after assembly, the knobs are passed through the hole parts with the large diameter and transferred by displacement into the adjoining neck of the keyhole-like perforation, the knobs reaching behind the edge of the necks here and thus fixing the connection. Alternatively, as such means, grooves can be provided at least partially on three sides, into which the edges of the notice board can be inserted by clamping; here the holding takes place via the clamping effect of such grooves, which can be increased by appropriate shaping. In addition, catches can be provided which fix the seat beyond the clamp; Here, for example, elastic tongues or knobs on the lateral upper edges of the side strips can engage in recesses on the edge of the notice board. The means for attaching the notice board to the utensil container are advantageously designed such that the notice board has a lower projection. This lower projection is suitable for storing notes, memos, plans or the like. to be able to attach with holding magnets. It goes without saying that these means can also be provided twice so that the notice board can be arranged both in the bottom closing position and with the lower overhang.

The notice board is advantageously provided with a writable coating. This coating allows direct memos or notices to be attached without the need to use a slip. It is further advantageous to coat the notice board on both sides, both sides advantageously being coated in different colors; the notice board coated in this way can then be better adapted as a "turning board" to the color conditions of the respective environment.

In another, also preferred embodiment, a stand is provided, into which the utensil container can be inserted in a form-fitting manner, and which is shaped such that it forms a further, essentially closed storage space with the hook strip with the storage tray arranged above it. This additional storage space is advantageously divided with partitions.

In the case of the utensil container, at least some of the dividing walls of the adjusting case, storage case, storage tray or the storage space formed with the stand are advantageously designed to be displaceable. This relocatability allows the available space dimensions to be changed and thus adapted to the wishes of the user. The partition walls are guided for example between ribs which are provided in the sides of the fixed walls.

The utensil container is advantageously designed as a plastic part, preferably as a plastic injection molded part. This design allows inexpensive and economical production, in particular if - as in a further development - the injection molded part is made in one piece. The knobs or grooves for attaching the notice board are integrally formed on the utensil container. In order not to make the manufacturing tools necessary for this too complicated, the hook strip is attached as a separate part.

To provide a pen for writing on the memo board or a wiper for deleting written notes, preferably at least one clip for a pen, a hook for a wiping rag or the like is on one of the outer walls, advantageously on the side wall of the adjusting case on the left, of the utensil container. intended; thus the pen for leaving notes on the coated notice board or the wiper for deleting such notes are provided.

The utensil containers can also be designed in such a way that they can be arranged modularly one above the other and / or one above the other, this being independent of whether or not they are provided with a notice board. The embodiment provided with a stand can also be provided with a reduced notice board for installation. In order to be able to keep note paper in stock, the hook bar (or the notice board) can also be provided with a receptacle for a paper roll, such as are used in adding machines, it being advantageous if a tear-off rail is also provided, which allows the free Fixed at the end of the paper strip and allowed to easily cut off a desired piece.

Figures 1 and 2 show the notice board 10, on which a utensil container 15 is provided. The notice board 10 is provided with a surface coating 13, which allows writing. The utensil container 15 is attached to the notice board. This utensil container 15 has on its left side the adjusting quiver 16, which is guided over its entire height and also longer objects, for example scissors, screwdrivers and the like. records. Further adjustment quiver 16.1 are provided, the adjustment height of which is however reduced in the illustration, so that there is a free space below this adjustment quiver 16.1, which is closed at the rear with the hook bar 23. A further area adjoins these adjusting quiver 16 and 16.1, which forms a storage tray 17 and an adjusting compartment 18 for notes or note blocks. The storage tray 17 is divided by dividing walls 17.1, which can also be adjustable. This storage tray 17 with the adjustment compartment 18 is followed by further receiving quivers 19, as well as a receiving compartment 20 for a roll of adhesive tape (not described in more detail). This storage compartment is formed by the front wall 15.1 and a partition wall 20.1 (together with the necessary, but not specified side walls). The adhesive tape is pulled off the roll via a tear edge 21. The lower room is intended for hooks, containers or the like. which can be attached to the hook bar 23. For this purpose, the hook strip 23 has holes 24.1 and slots 24.2, which are arranged in regular patterns and which allow this to be attached. The embodiment shown in Figure 2 shows a notice board 10 with utensil container 15 and stand 25, which is attached to the utensil container from below. This utensil container 25 has a front edge 26 which is bent upwards and which, together with the underside of the storage tray 17, delimits a further storage space 27. While the embodiment according to FIG. 1 is hung on the wall, the embodiment according to FIG. 2 is essentially intended as a free-standing embodiment, without being restricted to this.

FIG. 3 shows a detail of the design of the exemplary embodiment with stand 25. FIG. 3 shows a section approximately centrally through notice board 10 with utensil container 15, which shows the structure: The notice board 10 is provided with the surface coating 13, which is provided on the "visible side"; independently of this, the back of the notice board 10 can also be provided with a coating 13 ′, which may be colored differently, the notice board then also being able to be used as a reversible board. The utensil container 15 is provided on the back 15.2 with knobs 15.1, which cooperate with the holes 11 in the notice board 10. In order to be able to fix the utensil container 15 on the notice board 10, the holes 11 are provided with lugs 12 which have a reduced width compared to the diameter of the holes 11 and thus allow the knobs 15.3 to reach behind. The stand 25 is attached to the utensil container 15, with double strips receiving the lower edges of the rear wall 15.2 and the intermediate wall and holding them in place; it forms the storage shelf of the further storage compartment 27, the front edge 26 of which has an overhang, which on the one hand prevents the small objects stored in the further storage compartment from falling out, and on the other hand makes it easier to remove these objects with its overhang. With its base 25.1, the stand 25 can be placed on a surface; a rear overhang 25.2 prevents tipping, in particular if the utensil container 15 is attached to a high notice board 10.

FIG. 4 shows the design of the receiving compartment 20 for the roll of adhesive tape on the basis of a cut made parallel to the rear wall with a view of the intermediate wall 20.1. This has the axle receptacle 22, which is also provided in an analogous manner in the front wall 15.1 (not shown here). This axle receptacle 22 is bent approximately at right angles to the axle bearing 22.1, which is advantageously inclined slightly downwards. This tendency means that an adhesive tape roll inserted on a core with stub axles, which is pulled into the end position when the adhesive tape is tensioned, remains there even when the tension decreases. The removed adhesive tape is carried out laterally, specifically over the cutting or tear edge 21, the tear teeth of which are approximately flush with the upper edge of the side wall. The removed adhesive tape adheres to the tear edge 21. It is advantageous if a support web 21.1 is provided slightly below which adheres to the free end of the peeled off adhesive tape and is thus protected against tangling. In order to be able to pull off the adhesive tape, a recess 22.2 is provided in the front wall in the area of the receiving compartment for the adhesive tape roll, which allows the adhesive tape to be gripped underneath and thus - regardless of whether the adhesive tape adheres to the tear edge 21 or to the support web - a simple release of the adhesive tape allows. Below the receiving compartment 20 for the adhesive tape roll, the (broken) hook strip 23 is provided with the holes 24.1 and slots 24.2 arranged in regular patterns, it being understood that either only holes 24.1 or only slots 24.2 or both - as well shown - can be used in combination.

Finally, FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a fastening of the utensil container 15 on the rear wall 10. The knobs 15.3 provided on the rear wall 15.2 of the utensil container 15 are designed such that their heads can be guided through the holes 11 in the notice board 10; the neck of the knobs 15.3 corresponding in length to the thickness of the notice board 10, on the other hand, are reduced in their diameters. The holes 11 of the notice board 10 have downward extensions with a reduced width compared to their diameter, so that they appear as keyhole-like designs. This width of the extensions is such that the necks of the knobs 15.3 can be inserted into these extensions. The heads of the knobs grip behind the edges of the perforation and thus fix the utensil container 15 attached to the notice board 10.
