Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Regal gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a shelf according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der FR 2 525 664 A ist ein Regal bekannt, das Steher aufweist, die einen quadratischen Querschnitt aufweisen, und die auf jeder Seite eine schwalbenschwanzförmige Nut haben. In die Nut werden Verbindungselemente eingesetzt, die die Steher untereinander verbinden. Zusätzlich kann auch auf einer Seite des Regals eine Rückwand durch die Nut gehalten werden. Die Regalfächer werden einfach auf die Verbindungselemente aufgelegt und übernehmen keine statische Funktion. Ein solches Regal ist bei geeigneter Ausführung stabil und leicht zerlegbar, nachteilig ist jedoch, dass die nutzbare Regalhöhe durch die notwendigen Verbindungselemente stark eingeschränkt ist. Je nach erforderlicher Höhe der einzelnen Abteilungen sind auf diese Weise zwischen 20% und 50% des Bauvolumens ungenützt verloren.From FR 2 525 664 A a shelf is known which has uprights that have a have a square cross-section, and the dovetail-shaped one on each side Have groove. Fasteners are inserted into the groove, which connect the upright with each other. In addition, one side of the The shelf can be held in place by the groove on a back wall. The shelves will be simply placed on the connecting elements and do not assume any static Function. With a suitable design, such a shelf is stable and easy to dismantle, However, it is disadvantageous that the usable shelf height is reduced by the necessary Fasteners is severely restricted. Depending on the required amount of individual departments are in this way between 20% and 50% of the construction volume lost unused.

Die FR 2 629 150 A beschriebt ein Regal mit Stehern, die ebenfalls durch Querverbinder zusammengehalten werden. Um eine ausreichende Stabilität des Regals zu erzielen, ist dabei jedenfalls eine geschlossene Rückwand auf der Rückseite oder zumindest ein breites Verbindungselement in Längsrichtung erforderlich. In vielen Fällen ist eine Rückwand unerwünscht, um beispielsweise eine freie Durchsicht durch das Regal zu ermöglichen, und außerdem beschränkt ein in Längsrichtung angeordnetes Verbindungselement den Zugriff auf die einzelnen Regalfächer. Dabei ist es vorgesehen und notwendig, nicht nur die hintereinander befindlichen Steher, sondern auch die nebeneinander befindlichen Steher mit Verbindungselementen zu verbinden, da die einzelnen Regalfächer keinerlei statische Funktion haben. Dadurch ergeben sich Nachteile bei der Benützung des Regals.The FR 2 629 150 A describes a shelf with uprights, which also have cross connectors be held together. To have sufficient stability of the shelf In any case, a closed rear wall on the back is to be achieved or at least a wide connecting element in the longitudinal direction is required. In many cases, a back wall is undesirable, for example around a free one Allowing view through the shelf, and also restricted one in Longitudinal connecting element provides access to the individual Shelves. It is intended and necessary, not just one after the other located upright, but also the upright next to each other with To connect connecting elements, since the individual shelves are not static Function. This results in disadvantages when using the Shelves.

Die Druckschrift US 2,375,726 A zeigt Regale, die auch ohne Fachbretter vollkommen stabil sind, wobei jedoch die einzelnen Regalbretter Stifte aufweisen, um in einer genauen Positionierung einzurasten. Eine statische Funktion der Regalfächer ist nicht beschrieben. Weiters ist es aus der US 5 022 721 bekannt, in einem Regal Fächer durch Dübelverbindungen zu positionieren. In diesem Fall ist jedoch das Regal selbst durch verleimte Verbindungen in sich stabil, und die Dübelverbindungen dienen lediglich dazu, das Verrutschen der Regalfächer zu verhindern.The document US 2,375,726 A shows shelves that are perfect even without shelves are stable, but the individual shelves have pins, to lock into place in an exact position. A static function of the Shelf compartments is not described. It is also known from US Pat. No. 5,022,721 that to position compartments on a shelf using dowel connections. In this case However, the shelf itself is stable in itself thanks to glued connections, and the Dowel connections only serve to prevent the shelves from slipping prevent.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Regal zu schaffen, das leicht und ohne besondere Fachkenntnisse aus Einzelteilen zusammengesetzt werden kann, und das ebenso leicht wieder zerlegbar ist. Dabei soll weitgehend mit Steckverbindungen u. dgl. das Auslangen gefunden werden, d. h., es soll die Verwendung von Schrauben, Nägeln oder Klebstoffen vermieden werden. Das Regal soll dabei stabil sein und einen ungehinderten Zugang zu den einzelnen Fächern ermöglichen.The object of the present invention is to provide a shelf that is light and can be assembled from individual parts without special specialist knowledge, and that can just as easily be dismantled again. It should largely use plug connections and the like that suffice can be found, d. i.e., it's supposed to use screws, nails or adhesives should be avoided. The shelf should be there be stable and allow unhindered access to the individual compartments.

Erfindungsgemäß werden diese Aufgaben durch eine Ausbildung gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung wird es möglich, die Regalfächer als statische Elemente heranzuziehen, die dem Regal erst Stabilität verleihen. Dabei wird eine besondere Stabilität dadurch erreicht, dass die Regalfächer sowohl an ihrer Unterseite als auch an ihrer Oberseite mit Querverbindern in Verbindung stehen, so dass eine besonders stabile Lösung erreicht wird. Da weder Schraubverbindungen noch Klebverbindungen vorgesehen sind, kann ein besonders einfacher Aufbau des Regals gewährleistet werden, und auch das Zerlegen ist schnell und problemlos möglich. Das erfindungsgemäße Regal kann in Lagerräumen, in Büros, in Wohnräumen, in öffentlichen Gebäuden, etc. aufgebaut sein, um Gegenstände in übersichtlicher und platzsparender Weise zu lagern. Der Aufbau des Regals bedarf keinerlei Einsatz von Werkzeug oder technischem Gerät, und durch die Verwendung von Holz für alle Bauteile ist die Entsorgung unproblematisch. Die Stabilität des Regals wird insbesondere dadurch erhöht, dass für jedes Regalfach an jedem Ende zwei Querverbinder vorgesehen sind, von denen der eine unterhalb des Regalfachs und der zweite oberhalb des Regalfachs angeordnet ist.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by a design according to patent claim 1 solved. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to use the shelves to be used as static elements that give the shelf stability to lend. A special stability is achieved by the fact that the shelves both on their bottom and on their top with cross connectors are connected so that a particularly stable solution is achieved. There neither screw connections nor adhesive connections are provided, a particularly simple structure of the shelf can be guaranteed, and that too Disassembly is quick and easy. The shelf according to the invention can in storage rooms, in offices, in living rooms, in public buildings, etc. to store items in a clear and space-saving way. The construction of the shelf does not require the use of tools or technical equipment Device, and through the use of wood for all components is disposal unproblematic. The stability of the shelf is particularly important increased that two cross connectors are provided for each shelf at each end are, of which one is below the shelf and the second above the Shelf is arranged.

Eine besonders gute Zugänglichkeit zu den Regalfächern ist gegeben, wenn die Querverbinder an den Schmalseiten des Regals angeordnet sind.There is particularly good accessibility to the shelves if the Cross connectors are arranged on the narrow sides of the shelf.

Ein besonders einfacher Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen Regals wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Steher jeweils paarweise durch Querverbinder verbunden sind, und dass die durch Querverbinder verbundenen Paare von Stehern ausschließlich durch Regalfächer untereinander verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise kann mit der minimalen Anzahl an Bauteilen das Auslangen gefunden werden.A particularly simple structure of the shelf according to the invention is thereby achieves that the posts are connected in pairs by cross connectors, and that the pairs of uprights connected by cross-connectors are exclusive are interconnected by shelves. In this way, the minimum number of components that suffice.
