Abstract

The bottle rack is a grid formed by rectangular plates (1) connected at their adjoining corners through connectors. The plates are made from cork and have along their narrow sides (2) bending-resistant inserts (5) formed as metal rods with angled ends.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Flaschenregal in Form eines von im wesentlichen rechteckigen Platten gebildeten Gitters, wobei die verschiedenen Platten an ihren benachbarten Eckpunkten durch Verbindungselemente verbunden sind, welche gegeneinander um 90° versetzte Ausnehmungen aufweisen, welche den Rand der Platten umfassen.The invention relates to a bottle rack in the form of a substantially rectangular plates formed grid, the different plates on their neighboring corner points are connected by connecting elements, which have mutually offset recesses, which the edge of the Include plates.

Eine solche Konstruktion, wie sie etwa in FR-A 2 635 663 beschrieben ist, erlaubt es, aus wenigen einfachen Grundelementen Regale für die unterschiedlichste Anzahl von Flaschen und für verschiedene Höhen und Breiten zusammenzustellen. Dabei ist auch für große Einheiten hinreichend statische Festigkeit gegeben sein, ohne daß kleine Einheiten zu schwer und aufwendig werden.Such a construction, as described for example in FR-A 2 635 663, allows from a few simple basic elements shelves for the most varied number of Bottles and for different heights and widths. It is also sufficient static strength is given for large units without small ones Units become too heavy and expensive.

Werden die einzelnen Platten ausschließlich an den Eckpunkten miteinander verbunden, so wird die Last der eingelegten Flaschen über die vordere und hintere Begrenzungsebene des Regals nach unten abgeleitet. Dies führt insbesondere dann zu Problemen, wenn die Platten durchgehend aus Kork bestehen. Es ist dann dafür Sorge zu tragen, daß die Festigkeit der Platten in den durch die vorderen und hinteren Verbindungsscheiben definierten Gitterebenen hinreichend hoch ist. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Platten im wesentlichen aus Kork bestehen und entlang ihrer Schmalseiten biegesteife Einlagen vorgesehen sind.If the individual panels are only connected to each other at the corner points, so the load of the inserted bottles over the front and back Boundary level of the shelf derived downwards. This leads in particular problems if the plates consist of cork throughout. Then it's for it Care should be taken to ensure that the strength of the panels in the front and rear Connection plates defined grid levels is sufficiently high. This will do so achieved that the plates consist essentially of and along their cork Narrow-side rigid inserts are provided.

Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anschließend anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert.Details of the invention are subsequently explained with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 ist eine schaubildliche Darstellung des Randbereiches eines herkömmlichen Flaschenregals; Fig. 2 ist die vergrößerte Darstellung eines Gitterpunktes von Fig. 1; Fig. 3 zeigt in Draufsicht, in Seitenansicht und im Schnitt nach der Linie A-A den schmalseitigen Rand der Platte eines erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiels, wobei in der Schnittdarstellung eine zusätzliche Einlage 5 vorgesehen ist; Fig. 4 ist die schaubildliche Darstellung eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels für die Scheibe 3.Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of the edge area of a conventional one Bottle racks; Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a grid point of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 shows in plan view, in side view and in section along the line A-A narrow edge of the plate of an embodiment according to the invention, an additional insert 5 being provided in the sectional view; Fig. 4 is the Schematic representation of a second exemplary embodiment for the pane 3.

Die Erfindung geht von dem bekannten Gedanken aus, eine Vielzahl von etwa rechteckigen Platten 1 in Form eines diagonal verlaufenden Gitters anzuordnen. Die Gitterpunkte sind dabei jeweils durch Verbindungselemente 3 gebildet, welche in der vorderen und hinteren Ebene, also an der Vorder- und Rückseite des Regals vorgesehen sind. Die Platten 1 werden zumindest an ihren Eckpunkten von den Verbindungselementen 3 festgehalten. Diese weisen hierzu Ausnehmungen 4 auf. An sich wäre es möglich, alle Verbindungselemente 3 mit vier Ausnehmungen zu versehen, sodaß man mit zwei Paar Elementen auskommt. Wenn Kostenüberlegungen eine geringem Rolle spielen, ist es hingegen vorzuziehen, nur so viele Ausnehmungen 4 anzuordnen, als einer Scheibe 3 Platten 1 zugeordnet sind. Das ergibt den Vorteil, daß die freien Ränder des Regals abgerundete Ecken aufweisen.The invention is based on the well-known idea, a variety of approximately rectangular Arrange plates 1 in the form of a diagonal grid. The grid points are each formed by connecting elements 3, which are in the front and rear level, i.e. provided on the front and rear of the shelf are. The plates 1 are at least at their corner points from the connecting elements 3 recorded. For this purpose, these have recesses 4. In itself it would be possible to provide all connecting elements 3 with four recesses, so that one needs two pairs of elements. If cost considerations matter play, however, it is preferable to arrange only as many recesses 4 as a disk 3 plates 1 are assigned. This gives the advantage that the free The edges of the shelf have rounded corners.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Situation dargestellt, in welcher die Platten 1 lediglich am vorderen und hinteren Rand von Scheiben festgehalten werden. Grundsätzlich wäre die Anordnung weiterer Scheiben entlang der Längsseiten der Platten 1 oder überhaupt die walzenartige Verbindung der vorderen und hinteren Scheiben möglich.In Fig. 1, a situation is shown in which the plates 1 only on the front and the rear edge of discs are held. Basically, the arrangement would be further disks along the long sides of the plates 1 or at all roller-like connection of the front and rear panes possible.

Bei der im wesentlichen bekannten Ausführung nach Fig. 1 bestehen die Platten 1 aus einem tragenden Kern, beispielsweise aus Holz oder Kunststoff, mit einer Auflage 6 aus Kork. Um eine sichere Verbindung von Platte 1 und Verbindungselement 3 zu erzielen, ist hierbei der Rand der Platten 1 schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet und formschlüssig in die entsprechenden Ausnehmungen der Verbindungselemente 3 eingesetzt.In the essentially known embodiment according to FIG. 1, the plates 1 consist of a load-bearing core, for example made of wood or plastic, with a support 6 made of cork. To ensure a secure connection of plate 1 and connecting element 3 achieve, the edge of the plates 1 is dovetail-shaped and positively in the corresponding recesses of the connecting elements 3 used.

Bei dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiel einer Platte 1 besteht der gesamte Plattenkörper aus Kork. Dieses Material wäre nicht imstande, bei größeren Regalen die auftretenden Kräfte auf Dauer aufzunehmen. Die Platten werden daher im Randbereich mit einer Ausnehmung 6 versehen, in welche eine Einlage 5 in Form einer Metallspange mit abgewinkelten Enden einsetzbar ist. In der Darstellung nach Fig. 3 geben die Ansichten die Situation ohne Einlage, die Schnittdarstellung die Situation mit Einlage wieder.In the embodiment of a plate 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 3 the entire plate body is made of cork. This material would not be able to larger shelves to permanently absorb the forces that occur. The plates are therefore provided in the edge area with a recess 6 into which an insert 5 in Form of a metal clip with angled ends can be used. In the illustration 3, the views give the situation without insert, the sectional view Situation with deposit again.

Anstatt die Einlage 5, so wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, in einer Nut der Platte 1 anzuordnen, wäre es auch möglich, in einer zur Schmalseite der Platte parallelen Bohrung einen Stab mit geeignetem Querschnitt (Kreis, Rechteck) einzusetzen, welcher in der jeweiligen Gitterebene die wesentlichen Kräfte zwischen den Verbindungselementen 3 überträgt.Instead of arranging the insert 5 in a groove in the plate 1, as shown in FIG. 3, it would also be possible to have one in a bore parallel to the narrow side of the plate Use a rod with a suitable cross-section (circle, rectangle), which in the respective Grid level the essential forces between the connecting elements 3rd transmits.

Bestehen die Platten 1, wie in Fig. 3 vorausgesetzt, im wesentlichen aus Kork, so ist es möglich, die Verbindung zwischen den Platten 1 und den Verbindungselementen 3 kraftschlüssig zu gestalten. Die Ränder der Platten müssen also keine Schwalbenschwanzform aufweisen, und auch die zugehörigen Ausnehmungen der Verbindungselementen 3 können, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt, rechteckige Konturen aufweisen.If the plates 1, as assumed in FIG. 3, consist essentially of cork, then it is possible to make the connection between the plates 1 and the connecting elements 3 to design non-positive. The edges of the plates do not have to be dovetailed have, and also the associated recesses of the connecting elements 3 can, as shown in Fig. 4, have rectangular contours.

Wenn im Rahmen der Beschreibung von rechteckigen Platten die Rede ist, so bezieht sich dies darauf, daß die Verbindungselemente an Punkten angeordnet sind, welche ein Rechteck bilden. Die Außenkontur der Platten zwischen den Verbindungsstellen kann weitgehend frei gewählt werden.If the description of rectangular plates is used, then refer this is due to the fact that the connecting elements are arranged at points which form a rectangle. The outer contour of the plates between the joints can largely be freely chosen.
