Auf diese Vorsprünge 15 sind nun zur Befestigung der flexiblen Trennwände 7 deren Schlaufen 8 aufgesteckt. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich eine einfache, sichere und leicht herzustellende Verbindung zwischen den flexiblen Trennwänden 7 und den Befestigungsplatten 2, von denen nur eine dargestellt ist, die aber auf der Gegenseite in gleicher Anordnung vorhanden sein kann. Die Bohrungen 6 ermöglichen auch hier im Zusammenwirken mit Dornen oder Schraubkapseln im eingesetzten Zustand eine Zentrierung der Befestigungsplatten 2 und eine Befestigung der flexiblen Trennwandanordnung im Inneren des Behälters oder Regals. Daneben kann die Befestigungsplatte mit weiteren Erhebungen und Vertiefungen versehen sein.As is apparent from Fig. 8 of the drawings, the mounting plate 2, the is arranged inside a container or shelf, from one end Incisions or notches 14, whereby projections 15th be formed in the mounting plate 2. On these projections 15 are now to attach the flexible partition walls 7, the loops 8 are attached. On this results in a simple, safe and easy to manufacture Connection between the flexible partitions 7 and the mounting plates 2, of which only one is shown, but on the opposite side in the same Arrangement can be present. The holes 6 also allow here Interaction with thorns or screw capsules when inserted centering the mounting plates 2 and mounting the flexible Partition arrangement inside the container or shelf. In addition, the Fastening plate to be provided with further elevations and depressions.

In Fig. 9 ist eine andere Ausführungsform der Befestigungsplatte 2 gemäß der Erfindung dargestellt. Die Einschnitte oder Einkerbungen 14 sind dort trapezförmig ausgebildet, so daß Vorsprünge 15 entstehen. Auf diese Vorsprünge 15 sind die Schlaufen 8 der Trennwände 7 aufgeschoben, wobei der Durchmesser der Schlaufen 8 entsprechend der Ausbildung der Vorsprünge von hinten nach vorne abnimmt.9 is another embodiment of the mounting plate 2 according to the Invention shown. The incisions or notches 14 are there trapezoidal, so that projections 15 are formed. To this Projections 15, the loops 8 of the partitions 7 are pushed on, the Diameter of the loops 8 according to the formation of the projections from decreases towards the front.

In Fig. 10 ist eine abgewandelte Ausführungsform der Platte gemäß Fig. 9 dargestellt. Dort weisen die vorderen Enden der Vorsprünge 15 an den nach oben überstehende Erhebungen (16) auf. Diese Erhebungen haben den Zweck, zu verhindern, daß die Schlaufen 8 aus den Vorsprüngen 15 herausrutschen.FIG. 10 shows a modified embodiment of the plate according to FIG. 9 shown.
