The column is connected to the crossbeam by two bolts (36) whose upper parts are connected to the inner wall of the column at two diametrically opposite positions and pass through two holes (37) in the middle of the crossbeam.

Description

Bekannt sind Ständer für Metallregale, insbesondere Präsentationsund Verkaufsregale, deren Säulen und Fußteil-Ausleger aus Rundprofilelementen gebildet sind. Runde, insbesondere kreisrunde Hohlprofile sind wegen ihren hohen Stabilität bei geringem Materialeinsatz besonders günstig. Üblicherweise sind die Säulen mit Schlitzen zum Einhängen von Konsolen oder sonstigen Regalelementen, die Fußteil-Ausleger mit Teller- oder sonstigen Standfüßen versehen.Stands for metal shelves are known, in particular presentation and Sales shelves, their pillars and foot section extensions made of round profile elements are formed. Round, especially circular hollow profiles are because their high stability with low use of materials is particularly favorable. The columns are usually with slots for hanging brackets or other shelf elements, the foot section arm with plate or other Provide feet.

Bei freistehenden Regalständem werden die Fußteil-Ausleger in der Regel mit der Säule verschweißt. Handelt es sich um eine Rundsäule, so ist die Verschweißung mit erhöhtem Arbeitsaufwand verbunden.In the case of free-standing shelf stands, the foot section extensions are in the Usually welded to the column. If it is a round column, it is the welding associated with increased workload.

Ein weiterer Nachteil fester Verschweißung zwischen Säule und Fußteil besteht darin, daß sich insgesamt L- oder T-förmige Regalständer ergeben, die sperrig und daher für Transport, Verpackung und Handhabung ungünstig sind.Another disadvantage of tight welding between the column and the foot section consists of a total of L or T-shaped shelf stands, the bulky and therefore unfavorable for transport, packaging and handling are.

Aus WO 96/10936 ist eine Anordnung bekannt, bei der eine aus einem Rundprofilrohr mit angesetzter U-Profil-Schiene gebildete Säule an einem aus Rundprofilen gebildeten dreiarmigen Fußteil verankert ist. Außer der Möglichkeit einer Verschweißung ist über Verankerung nichts offenbart.From WO 96/10936 an arrangement is known in which one consists of a Round profile tube with attached U-profile rail on one column is formed anchored from round profiles three-armed foot part. Except for the Possibility of welding nothing is disclosed about anchoring.

DE-A-4 417 339 betrifft die Befestigung einer Rundsäule an einem rechteckig gestalteten Träger, in den ein spezieller Stützkonus eingeformt ist. An diesem Stützkonus ist die Rundsäule ausschließlich kraftschlüssig befestigt, nämlich durch eine konische Spannhülse, die durch drei Bolzen mit dem Stützkonus des Auslegers verschraubt wird und dabei das untere Ende der Säule einklemmt. Diese Art der Verbindung setzt beim Ausleger ein Spezialprofil sowie verhältnismäßig genau angepaßte zusätzliche Bauteile voraus und ist für höhere Belastungen ungeeignet.DE-A-4 417 339 relates to the attachment of a round column to one rectangular support with a special support cone molded into it is. The round column on this support cone is only non-positive attached, namely by a conical adapter sleeve, which is held by three bolts is screwed to the support cone of the boom and the lower one Pinched end of column. This type of connection applies to the boom a special profile and relatively precisely adapted additional components ahead and is unsuitable for higher loads.

Der Erfindung liegt die generelle Aufgabe zugrunde, Nachteile, wie sie bei Regalständern nach dem Stand der Technik bestehen, mindestens teilweise zu beseitigen. Eine speziellere Aufgabe kann darin gesehen werden, ein Fußteil für einfach herstellbare und zu handhabende Regalständer, insbesondere Rundsäulen-Regalständer, anzugeben.The invention is based on the general object, disadvantages, such as they exist in rack stands according to the state of the art, at least partially eliminate. A more specific task can be seen in a foot section for shelf stands that are easy to manufacture and handle, in particular, round column shelf stands to be specified.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet. Die danach vorgesehene Verbindung von Säule und Ausleger gestattet es, den Regalständer mit wenigen Handgriffen am Ort der Regalmontage zusammenzubauen. Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Bolzen ergeben eine hohe Festigkeit der Verbindung, die auch hohe Belastungen aushält.The solution to this problem is characterized in claim 1. The afterwards The proposed connection of the column and the bracket allows the rack stand Assemble in a few simple steps at the place of rack assembly. The bolts provided according to the invention result in high strength the connection that can withstand high loads.

Die Weiterbildungen der Erfindung nach den Ansprüchen 2 bis 5 erhöhen die Festigkeit und Kippsicherheit der Befestigung der Säule am Ausleger. Bei der Ausgestaltung der Erfindung nach Anspruch 6 läßt sich ein Tellerfuß genau in der Achse der Säule anordnen.The developments of the invention according to claims 2 to 5 increase the strength and tilt resistance of the attachment of the column to the boom. In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 6, one can Place the plate base exactly in the axis of the column.

Der in Figur 1 bis 3 gezeigte Regalständer besteht aus einer Säule 30 und einem Ausleger 31, die beide aus kreisrunden Hohlprofilelementen gebildet sind. Vorzugsweise haben Säule 30 und Ausleger 31 den gleichen Querschnitt. Die Säule 30 ist über ihre gesamte Länge und zwar längs vier um jeweils 90° versetzten Axiallinien mit Reihen von Doppelschlitzen 32 zum Einhängen von Haken an Regalkonsolen, Rückwänden oder sonstigen Regalelementen versehen.The shelf stand shown in Figures 1 to 3 consists of a column 30 and a bracket 31 , both of which are formed from circular hollow profile elements. Preferably, column 30 and boom 31 have the same cross section. The column 30 is provided over its entire length and specifically along four axial lines, each offset by 90 ° , with rows of double slots 32 for hanging hooks on shelf consoles, rear walls or other shelf elements.

Der Ausleger 31 ist an beiden Enden durch Abschlußelemente 33 verschlossen. Nahe den Abschlußelementen 33 sind an seiner Unterseite mit in der Höhe justierbare Tellerfüße 34 vorgesehen.The boom 31 is closed at both ends by closing elements 33 . Near the end elements 33 are provided on its underside with height-adjustable plate feet 34 .

Gemäß Figur 2 ist die Säule 30 an ihrem unteren Ende derart zylindrisch geschnitten, so daß sich eine Schnittfläche 35 ergibt, deren Radius mit dem Außenradius des den Ausleger 31 bildenden Rohrs übereinstimmt.According to Figure 2, the column 30 is cut cylindrically at its lower end, so that there is a cut surface 35 , the radius of which corresponds to the outer radius of the tube forming the boom 31.

Wie in Figur 3 gezeigt, ist an zwei in Achsrichtung des Auslegers 31 diametral gegenüberliegenden Stellen der Säule 30 jeweils ein zylindrischer Bolzen 36 mit seinem oberen Bereich an der Innenwand der Säule 30 angeschweißt. Die beiden Bolzen 36 ragen aus dem unteren Ende der Säule 30 um ein Maß heraus, das dem Durchmesser des Auslegers 31 entspricht.As shown in FIG. 3, a cylindrical bolt 36 is welded with its upper region to the inner wall of the column 30 at two points of the column 30 diametrically opposite in the axial direction of the arm 31 . The two bolts 36 protrude from the lower end of the column 30 by an amount that corresponds to the diameter of the boom 31 .

Die beiden Bolzen 36 durchsetzen zwei an der obersten Stelle des Auslegers 31 in dessen senkrechter Mittelebene vorgesehene Bohrungen 37 und verlaufen im wesentlichen über die gesamte Querschnittshöhe des Auslegers 31, so daß sie an der untersten Stelle des Auslegers 31 enden. An dieser Stelle ist der Ausleger 31 mit zwei weiteren Bohrungen 38 versehen, die mit den Bohrungen 37 in senkrechter Richtung fluchten. Die Bohrungen 38 werden von Schrauben 39 durchsetzt, die in Innengewinde 40 in den unteren Bereichen der Bolzen 36 eingreifen.The two bolts 36 pass through two holes 37 provided at the uppermost point of the boom 31 in its vertical central plane and extend essentially over the entire cross-sectional height of the boom 31, so that they end at the lowest point of the boom 31 . At this point the boom 31 is provided with two further bores 38 which are aligned with the bores 37 in the vertical direction. The holes 38 are penetrated by screws 39 which engage in the internal thread 40 in the lower regions of the bolts 36 .

Die Bohrungen 37 haben nur geringfügig größeren Durchmesser als die Bolzen 36; ebenso haben die Bohrungen 38 nur geringfügig größere Durchmesser als die Schäfte der Schrauben 39. Ferner enden die Bolzen 36 kurz oberhalb der Innenfläche des Auslegers 31, um eine Verspannung beim Anziehen der Schrauben 39 zu erreichen. Alle diese Maßnahmen führen in Verbindung mit der zylindrischen Schnittfläche 35 der Säule 30 zu einer festen und kippsicheren Verbindung zwischen Säule 30 und Ausleger 31.The bores 37 have only a slightly larger diameter than the bolts 36; Likewise, the bores 38 are only slightly larger in diameter than the shanks of the screws 39. Furthermore, the bolts 36 end just above the inner surface of the bracket 31 in order to achieve tension when the screws 39 are tightened. All of these measures, in conjunction with the cylindrical cutting surface 35 of the column 30, lead to a firm and tilt-proof connection between the column 30 and the extension arm 31 .

Während es sich bei dem Regalständer nach Figur 1 um einen zweiseitigen Ständer handelt, zeigt Figur 4 einen Ausleger 31' für einen einseitigen Regalständer. In diesem Fall sind die Bohrungen 37 und 38 für die (in Figur 4 nicht gezeigten) Bolzen einer (ebenfalls nicht gezeigten) Säule nahe dem rechten Auslegerende angeordnet. Zwischen den unteren Bohrungen 38 ist eine Gewindehülse 41 zur Aufnahme eines in der Höhe verstellbaren Tellerfußes 42 eingesetzt. Da die Bolzen an zwei diametral gegenüberliegenden Stellen an der Innenwand der Säule angeordnet sind, reicht der Platz zwischen den Bohrungen 38 zur Aufnahme des genannten Tellerfußes 42 aus, der sich somit in der Achse der Säule befindet.While the shelf stand according to FIG. 1 is a two-sided stand, FIG. 4 shows a bracket 31 ' for a one-sided shelf stand. In this case, the bores 37 and 38 for the bolts (not shown in FIG. 4) of a column (also not shown) are arranged near the right end of the boom. A threaded sleeve 41 is inserted between the lower bores 38 for receiving a height-adjustable plate foot 42 . Since the bolts are arranged at two diametrically opposite locations on the inner wall of the column, the space between the bores 38 is sufficient to accommodate the aforementioned plate base 42 , which is thus located in the axis of the column.

Ein ähnlicher Tellerfuß 42 kann auch bei dem zweiseitigen Regalständer nach Figur 1 als Mittelfuß zwischen den beiden äußeren Tellerfüßen 34 vorgesehen sein.A similar plate foot 42 can also be provided in the two-sided shelf stand according to FIG. 1 as a center foot between the two outer plate feet 34 .
