Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a component set according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a set of components is known. It becomes shelves in this way built that the elements vertically on top of each other and / or side by side be put. To a limited extent there is also an offset stacking of the elements possible, but this leads to a narrowing of the Shelves from bottom to top.
  • Another disadvantage is that the width of the shelf is only gradually as an integral multiple of Width of an element can be changed.
  • a shelving system which is a U-shaped base element with a base plate as well has on the outside with support legs. Furthermore are as Blind holes formed on both the narrow sides of the provided both support legs and on the opposite sides. Connection elements can be inserted into these blind holes, which can be stacked on top of each other by the module units are. The respective connection elements point in the middle area one spacing collar each.
  • H-shaped connecting elements provided which on the one hand the stacked module units and on the other hand fix the module units arranged side by side.
  • the present invention was therefore based on the object, one To improve component set of the type mentioned in such a way that the Component set is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and that one of them Component sets of composite shelves infinitely variable in any width and can be created very individually.
  • the invention makes it possible to have two U-shaped elements with one another directed side walls in any and thus continuously selectable Overlap on top of each other or in each other and the through the thickness of the base plate of the lower element resulting height difference between the supports of the side walls of the upper element with to compensate for the spacer.
  • a shelf 10 which consists of component sets according to the invention consists. It consists of four U-shaped basic elements 1 and two in these boxes 32 put together with three drawers 33 each.
  • a respective base element 1 has a transverse base plate 2 thickness 3, which is dimensioned so that it is under loads, as they usually appear on bookshelves, not or only very slightly deflects.
  • the U-shape of the basic element 1 each protrudes at right angles Side wall 4, 5 provided, these side walls 4, 5 thereby can form a one-piece element with the base plate 2.
  • the U-shaped basic elements 1 are each on the Outside 2 'of the base plate 2 and on the opposite bearing surfaces 14 of the side walls 4, 5 are each provided with at least one socket 15, of which two opposite versions 15 in alignment are arranged to each other. These sockets 15 are intended for one Spacers 11, 31, a centering pin 17, a cover cap 18th or record the like.
  • the arrangement of the bottom two basic elements 1 with the mutually facing side walls 4, 5 allow it together with the spacers 31 that with these basic elements formed total shelf length continuously changed and thus the individual Needs and the available space as desired can be customized.
  • a rear wall 7 is advantageously on the rear side of the basic element 1 attached, which is a width 9 not greater than half the height 5 'of Has side wall 4, 5, so that these rear walls when nesting of two basic elements 1 almost without spacing from one another connect and form an almost closed back wall like this clarify the two lowest basic elements.
  • This back wall offers furthermore the advantage that the two basic elements are mutually deep are centered since the respective one engaging in the other basic element Side wall can be attached to this rear wall.
  • the shelf 10 is placed on a wall 36 or the like.
  • a side wall 4 of a basic element 1 are above and below two sockets 15 are provided, two of which are opposite each other lie in alignment with each other. It could increase the stability of the shelf 10 more than two versions per side 15 may be arranged.
  • FIG. 3 shows the spacer 31 in the assembled state. It consists of a cylindrical spacer 31 'and a coaxial extension thereof, with a smaller diameter centering pin 36, wherein these are preferably made in one piece.
  • the spacer 31 ' forms a height 12 which is equal to the thickness 3 of the base plate 2.
  • FIG. 4 is for the compensation of a height difference between two stacked basic elements 1 of the spacer 11 between two side walls 4, 5 are provided.
  • This spacer 11 is to this Purposes with a spacer 11 'having a height 12 and two provided coaxially to this arranged centering pins 16, which in a intervene respective version 15 and a mutual displacement of the prevent both basic elements.
  • These centering pins 16 are advantageous identical to the centering pin 36 mentioned above, so optionally a spacer 11 or 31 in each of the same identically designed sockets can be inserted.
  • FIG. 5 shows two adjoining side walls 5 of basic elements 1, which stand directly on top of each other and in their mutual Position are secured by the centering pin 17 in two with each other aligned sockets 15 is inserted.
  • the centering pin 17 are advantageously designed the same as the centering pins 16, so that they can be inserted by hand and held in the socket. Basically could these side walls 4, 5 instead of these centering bolts 17 also be secured to each other by spacers 11. This would make them these side walls are not directly adjacent to each other, but a distance to each other, which may be for aesthetic reasons is preferred.
  • Unused visible sockets 15 are shown in the illustration 6 preferably protected with pluggable cover caps 18. These caps 18 each have a centering pin 18 ', which advantageously dimensioned identical to the centering pin 36 explained above is.
  • the centering pins 16, 18 ', 36 of the spacers 11, 31 or the cover cap 18 as well as the centering bolts 17 are advantageous in the outside diameter dimensioned such that they each together with that of a cylindrical Blind hole existing socket 15 form a press fit, so that these spacers 11, 31, the cover caps or the centering bolt 17 can preferably be inserted into this socket by hand, are held by the self-locking that arises and again by Can be pulled out by hand.
  • this requires that the centering pin 16, 18 ', 36 as well as the version 15 with an exact tolerance are made at least in the tenths of a millimeter range.
  • Fig. 7 shows a shelf 50, which the various possible combinations when assembling component sets according to the invention in Living and work area illustrated. It underpins the big one Flexibility with regard to the design of a shelf and the achievable with it Space utilization. The flexibility also includes the possibility of quick assembly, modification or attachment of the shelf and the use of the shelf as wall furniture or room dividers.
  • Basic elements 1 in one another or on top of each other and there are also three boxes are provided.
  • component sets can be made of wood, sheet metal or even one Be made of plastic.
  • the shelves created from these component sets are suitable for living and office areas.
  • the basic elements could also be equipped with trays or other types of boxes than shown be.
  • component sets according to the invention can also be of miniature design be made and are therefore also suitable for use as Toys in the doll area or the like.
  • the basic elements In contrast to the execution in the furniture area, where the basic elements have a length of e.g. 70 cm, they are in the toy area, for example, with a length from 10 to 15 cm.
