Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung (WO 91/14 388 A1) besteht der Befestigungsarm des Warenträgers aus einem Flachprofil, an dessen oberen Ende eine zu einem Haken verkröpfte Platte sitzt, die im Befestigungsfall mit ihrem Hakenende in die Nut einer horizontalen Schiene eingreift. Diese horizontale Schiene ist an der Schauseite der Wand befestigt und daher störend sichtbar. In diesem Fall beeinträchtigen auch die sichtbaren Längsrandbereiche der Schienen das Aussehen der bekannten Vorrichtung. Letzteres läßt sich zwar vermeiden, wenn man die Schiene in eine in die Wand eingelassene Nut versenkt anordnet, doch erfordert dies einen großen Arbeitsaufwand, der kostspielig ist. Außerdem bleibt bei einer in der Wand eingesenkte Schiene die Schienenvorderseite sichtbar. Um das Aussehen zu verbessern, wird eine Zierleiste auf die Schienenschauseite aufgesetzt, doch ist auch dann durch die Zierleiste der Verlauf der Schiene auf bzw. in der Wand störend erkennbar. In seinem der Wand zugekehrten Längsrand besitzt das Flachprofil des Warenträgers Schlitze, die im Befestigungsfall mit einem Stift kuppelbar sind, der zu einem gegabelten Ende eines an der Wand befestigten Abstandhalters gehört. Auch dieser Abstandhalter beeinträchtigt das gute Aussehen der bekannten Vorrichtung; seine Abdeckung durch Zierelemente ist weder vorgesehen noch möglich.In the known device (WO 91/14 388 A1) there is the mounting arm of the goods carrier from a flat profile, at the upper end one to a hook cranked plate that sits with her in the case of attachment The hook end engages in the groove of a horizontal rail.

In the first phase of the fastening process, the upper coupling half 31 plugged onto the upper button 25 of FIG. 3 be, the circular disc-shaped coupling head 22 in the sense of 3 can be seen in FIG. 3 in the upper coupling receptacle 32 of the cylinder body 31 arrives there. This is what the previously mentioned serves Radial channel 33, the channel width corresponds to the circular disc diameter 19. The channel height corresponds to the cylinder height shown in FIG. 3 38 of the hollow cylindrical coupling receptacle 32, which is slightly larger than that Circular disk thickness 18 is formed, which is why according to the attachment 6, an axial free space 17 remains.

Die obere Kupplungshälfte wird also, im Gegensinne zum Einführpfeil 37, auf den Kupplungskopf 22 aufgesteckt, wobei ihre hohlzylindrische Kupplungsaufnahme 32 von einer aus Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlichen Axialabdeckung 39 verschlossen ist. Dadurch erhält die obere Kupplungshälfte 31, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, im Axialschnitt gesehen, die Form eines Hakens und die obere Kupplungsaufnahme erzeugt eine Tasche 32, die nach unten hin durch den Radialkanal 33 offen ist. Die Axialabdeckung 39 ist plattenförmig ausgebildet und paßt in den vom Kupplungshals 23 bestimmten Axialbereich der zugehörigen Gegenkupplungshälfte 21 hinein. Dort besitzt die plattenförmige Axialabdeckung 39 einen am besten aus Fig. 4 ersichtlichen Radialausbruch 16, der sich im Befestigungsfall am Umfang des zylindrischen Kupplungshalses 23 gemäß Fig. 6 abstützt. Dann ist die obere Kupplungshälfte 33 mit ihrer Axialabdeckung 39 zwischen der Unterlegscheibe 26 und dem Kupplungskopf 22 gefangen.The upper half of the coupling thus becomes the insertion arrow in the opposite direction 37, attached to the coupling head 22, its hollow cylindrical Coupling seat 32 from an axial cover shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 39 is closed. This gives the upper half of the coupling 31, as shown in FIG. 3, seen in axial section, the shape of a hook and the upper clutch receptacle creates a pocket 32 that is facing down is open through the radial channel 33. The axial cover 39 is plate-shaped trained and fits in the axial region determined by the coupling neck 23 the associated mating coupling half 21. There owns plate-shaped axial cover 39 one best seen in FIG. 4 Radial cutout 16, which is in the attachment case on the circumference of the cylindrical Coupling neck 23 is supported according to FIG. 6. Then the upper coupling half 33 with its axial cover 39 between the washer 26 and caught the coupling head 22.

Ihr Befestigungsvorgang zwischen der oberen Kupplungs- und Gegenkupplungshälfte 31, 21 kann nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses erfolgen; nämlich als axiale Anfangsbewegung, bis der Kupplungskopf 22, unterhalb der Axialabdeckung 39, an die innere Wand des Radialkanals 20 stößt und dann als radiale Schlußbewegung, wo die Axialabdeckung 39 hinter den Kupplungskopf 22 im Bereich des Kupplungshalses 23 fährt. In entsprechender Weise könnte bei der unteren Kupplungs- und Gegenkupplungshälfte 31', 21' verfahren werden. Um den Kupplungsvorgang im Bereich der unteren Befestigungsstelle 30' zu erleichtern, sind die zugehörigen unteren Kupplungs- und Gegenkupplungshälften 31', 21' einfacher ausgebildet; sie lassen beim Kuppeln eine nur axiale Steckbewegung zu.Your fastening process between the upper coupling and counter coupling half 31, 21 can be made in the manner of a bayonet lock; namely as an axial initial movement until the coupling head 22, below the axial cover 39, butts against the inner wall of the radial channel 20 and then as a radial final movement, where the axial cover 39 behind the coupling head 22 drives in the area of the coupling neck 23. In a similar way could move with the lower coupling and counter coupling halves 31 ', 21' become. To the coupling process in the area of the lower attachment point 30 'to facilitate the associated lower clutch and Counter coupling halves 31 ', 21' made simpler; they leave when coupling an axial plug-in movement only.

Die Gegenkupplungshälfte 31' ist mit einer Axialöffnung 43 versehen, welche sowohl die dortige hohlzylindrische Kupplungsaufnahme 32' als auch den von ihr ausgehenden Radialkanal 33' offen läßt. Deshalb liegt dort der bogenförmige Mantel 34' stirnseitig frei. Dadurch ist die durch den Pfeil 44 in Fig. 3 verdeutlichte axiale Einsteckbewegung des unteren Kupplungskopfes 22' in die untere Kupplungsaufnahme 32' ohne weiteres möglich. Im Befestigungsfall, gemäß Fig. 6, ist wegen des beschriebenen formschlüssigen Eingriffs an der oberen Befestigungsstelle 30 auch ein Herausziehen der in Eingriff stehenden Kupplungs- und Gegenkupplungshälften 31', 21' der unteren Befestigungsstelle 30' nicht möglich; dort ist vor allem ein Verdrehen, Herausfallen oder Abwinkeln des Warenträgers 10 ausgeschlossen. Der Kupplungshals 23' des unteren Knopfes 25' hat keine Schließfunktion, sondern sorgt nur für einen dem oberen Knopf 25 entsprechenden Wandabstand des Warenträgers 10.The counter coupling half 31 'is provided with an axial opening 43 which both the hollow cylindrical coupling receptacle 32 'there as well leaves the radial channel 33 'emanating from it open. That's why it's there the arcuate jacket 34 'is free on the end face. Because of this, the through the Arrow 44 in FIG. 3 illustrates the axial insertion movement of the lower coupling head 22 'into the lower coupling receptacle 32' is readily possible. In the case of attachment, as shown in FIG. 6, is because of the described positive Engagement at the upper attachment point 30 also pulling out the engaged coupling and mating coupling halves 31 ', 21' the lower attachment point 30 'not possible; there is mainly one Twisting, falling out or bending the goods carrier 10 excluded. The coupling neck 23 'of the lower button 25' has no locking function, but only ensures a wall distance corresponding to the upper button 25 of the product carrier 10.

Damit die exakte Parallellage des Befestigungsarms 11 vom Warenträger 10 gegenüber der Wandvorderseite 29 gewährleistet ist, hat, wie aus Fig. 6 hervorgeht, die Grundplatte 35 des oberen Zylinderkörpers 31 eine kleinere Plattendicke 45 als die Grundplatte 35' des unteren Zylinderkörpers 31'. Die unten vorgesehene größere Plattendicke 45' sorgt für eine stirnseitige Anlage des unteren Kupplungskopfes 22', während beim oberen Kupplungskopf 22 an der entsprechenden Stelle sich der bereits mehrfach erwähnte axiale Freiraum 17 befindet. Der dortige Kupplungskopf 22 kann im Befestigungsfall mit seiner der Wand 20 zugekehrten Innenfläche an der Innenseite der dortigen plattenförmigen Axialabdeckung 39 anliegen.So that the exact parallel position of the mounting arm 11 from the goods carrier 10 relative to the front wall 29 is guaranteed, as shown in Fig. 6, the base plate 35 of the upper cylinder body 31 is a smaller one Plate thickness 45 as the base plate 35 'of the lower cylinder body 31'. The larger plate thickness 45 'provided below ensures an end face Installation of the lower coupling head 22 ', while the upper coupling head 22 at the corresponding point is the axial, which has already been mentioned several times Free space 17 is located. The coupling head 22 there can be in the attachment case with its inner surface facing the wall 20 on the inside of the there lie plate-shaped axial cover 39.

Das Ablösen des befestigten Warenträgers 10 von der Wand 20 erfolgt durch eine der vorbeschriebenen Kupplungsbewegung gegensinnige Bewegungsfolge der beiden Kupplungspaare 21, 31; 21', 31' an den beiden Befestigungsstellen 30, 30'.The detached goods carrier 10 is detached from the wall 20 through a sequence of movements opposite to the above-described coupling movement of the two coupling pairs 21, 31; 21 ', 31' at the two attachment points 30, 30 '.
