Definitions
- Storage racks of the type mentioned are used to get one as quickly as possible Storage or storage aid to use without significant installation time need.
- the known shelving systems of the prior art have proven to be sometimes very unstable.
- the cohesion between the shelves and the posts is usually not solved without play, so that the entire shelf is very flexible represents.
- a storage rack is known from DE 66 10 829 U 1, its shelves are carried by round posts and via recesses in the round posts in the Interaction with conical clamping wedges are adjustable in height.
- This execution requires a comparatively high production cost and has the further disadvantage that it is not possible to add more shelves with the shelves at the same level.
- the object of the invention is a storage rack in a pluggable version for assembly without to create any tools that consist of a few individual parts, at the same level can be grown and that is particularly easy to install by one person.

Abstract
Description
Lagergestelle der eingangs genannten Gattung werden benutzt, um möglichst schnell eine Ablage- oder Aufbewahrungshilfe zu benutzen, ohne dabei erhebliche Montagezeit zu benötigen. Die bekannten Regalsysteme des Standes der Technik erweisen sich jedoch teilweise als sehr instabil. Der Zusammenhalt zwischen den Fachböden und den Pfosten ist in der Regel nicht spielfrei gelöst, so daß sich das Gesamtregal als sehr nachgiebig darstellt.Storage racks of the type mentioned are used to get one as quickly as possible Storage or storage aid to use without significant installation time need. However, the known shelving systems of the prior art have proven to be sometimes very unstable. The cohesion between the shelves and the posts is usually not solved without play, so that the entire shelf is very flexible represents.
Regale, die dieses Problem gelöst haben, wie z.B. das nach der DE 297 13 392 U 1, haben
den Nachteil, daß sie recht schwierig aufzubauen sind. Ein weiterer Nachteil sind die
erforderlichen Lochungen in den Pfosten, um die unterschiedlichen Höhen der Fachböden
einstellen zu können.Shelves that have solved this problem, such as according to DE 297 13 392
Schließlich ist durch die DE 66 10 829 U 1 ein Lagergestell bekannt, dessen Fachböden
von Rundpfosten getragen werden und über Vertiefungen in den Rundpfosten im
Zusammenwirken mit konischen Klemmkeilen höhenverstellbar sind. Diese Ausführung
erfordert einen vergleichsweise hohen Fertigungsaufwand und hat den weiteren Nachteil,
daß ein Anbau weiterer Regale mit den Fachböden auf gleichem Niveau nicht möglich ist.Finally, a storage rack is known from DE 66 10 829
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Lagergestell in steckbarer Ausführung zur Montage ohne jegliche Werkzeuge zu schaffen, das aus wenigen Einzelteilen besteht, niveaugleich angebaut werden kann und das insbesondere sehr einfach von einer Person montierbar ist.The object of the invention is a storage rack in a pluggable version for assembly without to create any tools that consist of a few individual parts, at the same level can be grown and that is particularly easy to install by one person.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of
Durch die Verwendung der Verbindungsbrücken zwischen zwei Tragpfosten ist eine sehr einfache Montage möglich. Es werden jeweils zwei Tragpfosten miteinander verbunden und dann die Fachböden eingelegt. Die Höhenarretierung als solches ist sehr einfach und besteht lediglich aus einem einzusetzenden Sperrteil pro Tragpfosten. In besonders einfacher Weise ist in der Ausführung der Tragpfosten als Rundpfosten dieses Sperrteil als Gummi-O-Ring ausgeführt. Dadurch ist es leicht über den Rundpfosten zu ziehen und hält sicher in den Vertiefungen. Da die Toleranzen zwischen Rundpfosten und Stufenbohrung in den Verbindungsbrücken, die Stufe entspricht dem Außendurchmesser des O-Ringes, sehr gering gewählt werden können, wird eine hohe Haltekraft erreicht. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Möglichkeit, die Verbindungsbrücke als Kunststoffteil auszuführen. Dadurch können ästhetische Forderungen erfüllt werden bei gleichzeitiger Variantenvielfalt der Anbaumöglichkeiten.By using the connecting bridges between two support posts is a very easy assembly possible. Two support posts are connected to each other and then the shelves are inserted. The height lock as such is very simple and consists only of one locking part to be used per support post. Especially is simple in the execution of the support post as a round post this locking part as Rubber o-ring. This makes it easy to pull and hold over the round post safe in the wells. Since the tolerances between round posts and stepped bores in the connecting bridges, the step corresponds to the outer diameter of the O-ring, very much can be chosen small, a high holding force is achieved. It is particularly advantageous the possibility of designing the connecting bridge as a plastic part. This allows aesthetic requirements are met with a variety of variants Cultivation options.
Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den weiteren Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Embodiments of the invention can be found in the further subclaims.
So bietet sich die Verbindungsbrücke als Kunststoffformteil, natürlich ist bei Bedarf auch ein Metallformteil möglich, an, durch einfache Aufnahmebohrungen Regalfächer auch mit Türen zu verschließen. In die Aufnahmenut können Seitenwände eingeschoben werden. Rückwände sind ebenfalls über die Aufnahmebohrungen zu befestigen. Die Halteleisten an den Verbindungbrücken können passungsmäßig so ausgeführt werden, daß die Fachböden mit ihrem senkrecht abgewinkelten Seitenteil klemmend eingesetzt werden, wodurch in Verbindung mit den Verbindungsbrücken eine hohe Steifigkeit erreicht wird.So the connecting bridge offers itself as a molded plastic part, of course if required a metal molded part is also possible, thanks to simple mounting holes in shelf compartments to close with doors. Side walls can be inserted into the receiving groove become. Back panels are also to be attached via the mounting holes. The Retaining strips on the connecting bridges can be designed so that the shelves with their vertically angled side panels are used for clamping, whereby a high degree of rigidity is achieved in connection with the connecting bridges.
Schließlich ermöglichen die Formteile (Kunststoff oder Metall) eine leichte Anpassung der Form der Durchbrüche an unterschiedliche Querschnitte der Tragpfosten. Diese sind natürlich in einfachster Ausführung als Rundpfosten ausgelegt. Um eine insgesamt höhere Verdrehsteifigkeit des gesamten Lagergestells zu erreichen, ist es zweckmäßig, die Tragpfosten mit einem vom Rundrohr abweichenden, eine Verdrehung verhindemden Querschnitt zu versehen. Dabei bieten sich sowohl ein Ovalrohr als auch ein Mehrkantrohr an. Eine einfache Verdrehsicherung wird durch die Abflachung bzw. eine gezielte Deformierung des Endbereiches des Tragpfostens, bevorzugt Rundpfostens, und einem formgleichen Durchbruch im Formteil erreicht. Somit kann das fertigungstechnisch leicht beherrschbare und optisch erwünschte Rundrohr bei dennoch ausreichender Verdrehsicherung eingesetzt werden.Finally, the molded parts (plastic or metal) allow easy adjustment the shape of the openings on different cross sections of the support posts. These are designed in the simplest version as a round post, of course. To a higher overall To achieve torsional rigidity of the entire storage rack, it is useful to Support post with one that deviates from the round tube and prevent twisting Cross section. Both an oval tube and a polygonal tube are available on. A simple anti-rotation device is provided by the flattening or a targeted one Deformation of the end region of the support post, preferably round post, and one breakthrough of the same shape in the molded part. In terms of manufacturing technology, this can be done easily controllable and optically desired round tube with sufficient anti-twist protection be used.
