Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft ein freistehendes Regal mit wenigstens vier vertikalen Säulen oder Trägern, an welche ein oder mehrere Fachböden anbringbar sind.The invention relates to a free-standing shelf with at least four vertical columns or carriers to which one or more shelves are attachable.

Hintergrund der ErfindungBackground of the invention

Derartige freistehende Regale, insbesondere aus Stahlblech gefertigt, werden zur Aufbewahrung von Waren und Gütern aller Art im privaten und gewerblichen Bereich in Wohn-, Büro- und Kellerräumen vielfältig genutzt. Die Regale werden in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen und Abmessungen angeboten. Die Regalböden werden dabei an ihren vier Ecken mittels Schrauben, Steckverbindern oder dergleichen mit den beispielsweise als Winkelprofilen ausgebildeten Regalsäulen verbunden.Such freestanding shelves, especially made of sheet steel, are widely used for the storage of goods and goods of all kinds in the private and commercial sector in residential, office and basement rooms. The shelves are available in different designs and dimensions. The shelves are connected at their four corners by means of screws, connectors or the like with the trained example as angle profiles shelf columns.

Ein wohlbekanntes Problem derartiger freistehender Regale stellt die mangelnde Winkelstabilität der Regale in Quer- und insbesondere in Längsrichtung der Regalböden dar. Trotz fester Verschraubung der Fachböden mit den Säulen kann der Winkel zwischen beiden von 90 Grad abweichen, so dass das fertig montierte Regal trapezförmig oder "windschief" steht. Dies ist sowohl vom optischen Eindruck als auch in Bezug auf die Stabilität bei starker Beladung des Regals nachteilig.A well-known problem of such freestanding shelves is the lack of angular stability of the shelves in transverse and longitudinal direction of the shelves dar. Despite tight screwing the shelves with the columns, the angle between the two of 90 degrees may differ, so that the assembled shelves trapezoidal or " askew "stands. This is disadvantageous both from the visual impression and in terms of stability at heavy load of the shelf.

Um dieses Problem zu lösen, ist es bekannt, zusätzliche Knotenbleche oder Diagonale Verstrebungen oder dgl, anzubringen. Derartige Hilfskonstruktionen sind mit einem erheblichen Kostenaufwand und zusätzlichen Montageaufwand für das Regal verbunden, ohne eine befriedigende Lösung für das beschriebene Problem liefern zu könnenTo solve this problem, it is known to install additional gusset plates or diagonal braces or the like. Such auxiliary structures are associated with a considerable cost and additional installation costs for the shelf, without being able to provide a satisfactory solution to the problem described

Zusammenfassung der ErfindungSummary of the invention

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein freistehendes Regal mit wenigstens vier vertikalen Säulen oder Trägern, an welche ein oder mehrere Fachböden anbringbar sind, vorzuschlagen, welches eine winkelstabile Verbindung zwischen Säulen und Fachböden aufweist.The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a freestanding shelf with at least four vertical columns or carriers, to which one or more shelves are attachable, which has an angular stable connection between columns and shelves.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe dadurch, dass das Regal Verbindungsmittel aufweist, die eine formschlüssige und ein Drehmoment übertragende Verbindung zwischen Säule und Fachboden herstellen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine winkelstabile Verbindung der Fachböden mit den Säulen, vorzugsweise im rechten Winkel, so dass das Regal ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel stabil frei steht.The object is achieved in that the shelf has connecting means which produce a positive and torque-transmitting connection between the column and the shelf. This results in a stable connection of the shelves with the columns, preferably at right angles, so that the shelf is stable free without additional tools.

Das erfindungsgemäße Regal ist außerdem preisgünstig herstellbar und einfach montierbar.The shelf according to the invention is also inexpensive to produce and easy to install.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Verbindungsmittel durch an der Säule ausgebildete Vorsprünge gebildet, welche formschlüssig in im Fachboden ausgeformte Nuten eingreifen. Die "umgekehrte" Konstruktion, bei der die Verbindungsmittel durch am Fachboden ausgebildete Vorsprünge, welche formschlüssig in in der Säule ausgeformte Nuten eingreifen, gebildet sind, ist im Rahmen der Erfindung jedoch ebenso möglich.According to a preferred embodiment, the connecting means are formed by projections formed on the column, which engage in a form-fitting manner in grooves formed in the shelf. However, the "reverse" construction in which the connection means are formed by projections formed on the shelf which positively engage in grooves formed in the column is also possible within the scope of the invention.

Gemäß einer anderen Variante bestehen die Verbindungsmittel aus durch an der Säule angeformte, durch in dem Fachboden ausgebildete Nuten formschlüssig hindurchgreifende Vorsprünge mit einer Öffnung, in welche ein Steckverbinder einschiebbar ist oder aus durch am Fachboden angeformte, durch in der Säule ausgebildete Nuten formschlüssig hindurchgreifende Vorsprünge mit einer Öffnung, in welche ein Steckverbinder einschiebbar ist. Diese Variante ermöglicht neben der Winkelstabilität eine besonders einfache und schnelle Montage des Regals.According to another variant, the connecting means consist of by integrally formed on the column, formed by in the shelf grooves positively engaging projections with an opening into which a connector is inserted or formed by formed on the shelf, formed by formed in the column grooves positively engaging projections with an opening into which a connector is inserted. This variant allows not only the angular stability but also a particularly simple and quick installation of the shelf.

Für hohe Traglasten können die Fachböden zusätzlich mittels einer Schraubverbindung, Nietverbindung, Schlüsselschrauben oder einem Schlossreiber mit den Regalsäulen verbunden sein.For high loads, the shelves can be additionally connected by means of a screw, rivet, key screws or a lock driver with the shelf columns.

Um eine optimale Winkelstabilität in Längs- und Querrichtung zu gewährleisten, können die Fachböden in Regallängsrichtung (x-Richtung) und in Regalquerrichtung (y-Richtung) jeweils zwei eine formschlüssige und ein Drehmoment übertragende Verbindungen zu den Säulen aufweisen.In order to ensure optimum angular stability in the longitudinal and transverse directions, the shelves in the shelf longitudinal direction (x-direction) and in the transverse direction (y-direction) can each have two positive-locking and torque-transmitting connections to the columns.

Die Säulen können als gleichschenklige Winkelprofile aus Stahlblech ausgebildet und die formschlüssige und ein Drehmoment übertragende Verbindung mit dem Fachboden an beiden Schenkeln der Säule angebracht sein. Diese Variante bietet eine besonders hohe Winkelstabilität.The columns can be formed as isosceles angle profiles made of sheet steel and the positive and torque-transmitting connection with the shelf can be attached to both legs of the column. This variant offers a particularly high angular stability.

Alternativ können die Säulen als L-förmige Winkelprofile aus Stahlblech mit einem längeren und einem kürzeren Schenkel ausgebildet sein, wobei die formschlüssige und ein Drehmoment übertragende Verbindung mit dem Fachboden an dem jeweiligen längeren Schenkel angebracht ist. Dadurch können Materialmenge und damit verbundene Materialkosten minimiert werden. Die längeren Schenkel von zwei Säulen sind dabei vorzugsweise parallel zur Regallängsrichtung (x-Richtung) und von zwei anderen Säulen parallel zur Regalquerrichtung (y-Richtung) angeordnet, um eine Winkelstabilität in beiden Richtungen zu erreichen.Alternatively, the columns may be formed as L-shaped angle profiles of sheet steel with a longer and a shorter leg, wherein the positive and a torque-transmitting connection with the shelf is attached to the respective longer leg. As a result, the amount of material and associated material costs can be minimized. The longer legs of two columns are preferably arranged parallel to the shelf longitudinal direction (x-direction) and of two other columns parallel to the shelf transverse direction (y-direction) in order to achieve an angular stability in both directions.

Die Fachböden sind vorzugsweise aus Stahlblech mit allseitig nach unten umgeformten Kantenblechen ausgebildet, wobei die Verbindungsmittel an diesen umgeformten Kantenblechen angebracht sind.The shelves are preferably formed of sheet steel with edge plates formed on all sides downwards, wherein the connecting means are attached to these formed edge plates.

Die Wandstärke des Stahlblechs kann im Bereich der Verbindungsmittel erhöht, vorzugsweise verdoppelt sein, um eine hohe Stabilität des Regals bei minimierter Stahlblechdicke zu erreichen.The wall thickness of the steel sheet can be increased in the region of the connecting means, preferably doubled, in order to achieve a high stability of the shelf with minimal steel sheet thickness.

Detaillierte Beschreibung der ErfindungDetailed description of the invention

Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen freistehenden Regals in perspektivischer Ansicht.The FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the free-standing shelf according to the invention in a perspective view.

Es sind insgesamt vier L-Profil-förmige Säulen 20 mit einem längeren Schenkel 20a und einem kürzeren Schenkel 20b vorgesehen, die in dem gezeigten Beispiel vier Regalböden oder -bretter 30 tragen. Die Erfindung ist jedoch selbstverstandlich nicht auf eine bestimmte Anzahl von Säulen oder Regalböden beschränkt. Wie insbesondere aus der Detailansicht von Figur 2 gut hervorgeht, weisen die längeren Schenkel 20a der Säulen 20 in regelmäßigen Abständen Bohrungen 23 sowie beidseitig davon Nuten oder längliche Öffnungen 21 auf. An diese Nuten angepaßt weisen die Regalböden 30 bzw. deren nach unten umgeformten Kantenbleche 32 Vorsprünge 31 auf, die sich formschlüssig in die Nuten 21 einpassen lassen. Mittels Schraubverbindungen 40, 42, die in zwei senkrecht zueinander angeordnete Bohrungen 33 in den Kantenblechen 32 eingreifen, wird der Regalboden 30 an die Säule 20 befestigt. Dabei greifen die beiden Vorsprünge 31 formschlüssig in die Nuten 21 ein, so dass die dadurch entstehende Verbindung zwischen Säule und Fachboden Drehmomente in der y-z-Ebene (siehe Figur 3) zwischen Säule und Fachboden überträgt und so in dieser Ebene den Winkel zwischen Säule und Fachboden konstant hält.There are a total of four L-shaped columns 20 are provided with a longer leg 20a and a shorter leg 20b, which carry four shelves or boards 30 in the example shown. However, the invention is obviously not limited to a certain number of columns or shelves. As in particular from the detail view of FIG. 2 is well, the longer legs 20a of the columns 20 at regular intervals holes 23 and on both sides thereof grooves or elongated openings 21. Adapted to these grooves, the shelves 30 and their downwardly deformed edge plates 32 on projections 31, which can be fit fit into the grooves 21. By means of screw 40, 42 which engage in two mutually perpendicular holes 33 in the edge plates 32, the shelf 30 is attached to the column 20. In this case, the two projections 31 engage positively in the grooves 21, so that the resulting connection between the column and shelf torques in the yz plane (see FIG. 3 ) transfers between the column and the shelf, thus keeping constant the angle between the column and the shelf in this level.

Um den Materialverbrauch und die daraus resultierenden Materialkosten so niedrig wie möglich zu halten, ist der zweite Schenkel 20b der Säule 20 beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel kürzer ausgebildet als der längere Schenkel 20a. Im kürzeren Schenkel 20b ist nur eine Bohrung 23, jedoch keine Nut ausgeformt. Damit die Winkelstabilität des Regals 10 trotzdem sowohl in x- als auch in y-Richtung gewährleistet ist, sind die Säulen 20 wie in den Figuren 1 und 4 gezeigt so angeordnet, dass die längeren Schenkel 20a von zwei Säulen 20 parallel zur Regallängsrichtung (x-Richtung) und von zwei Säulen 20 parallel zur Regalquerrichtung (y-Richtung) angeordnet sind.In order to keep the material consumption and the resulting material costs as low as possible, the second leg 20b of the column 20 in the first embodiment is shorter than the longer leg 20a. In the shorter leg 20b only one hole 23, but no groove is formed. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the angular stability of the shelf 10 both in the x and in the y direction, the columns 20 are as in FIGS FIGS. 1 and 4 shown arranged so that the longer legs 20a of two columns 20 parallel to the shelf longitudinal direction (x-direction) and two columns 20 parallel to the shelf transverse direction (y-direction) are arranged.

Eine alternative Ausführungsform, bei der Vorsprünge in den Säulen ausgebildet sind, die in in den Fachböden ausgeformte Nuten eingreifen, um die Winkelstabilität zu erreichen, ist in den Figuren nicht dargestellt, im Rahmen der Erfindung jedoch ebenfalls möglich. Ebenso können anstelle der Schraubverbindungen Nietverbindungen, Schlüsselschrauben, Schlossreiber oder dgl. verwendet werden.An alternative embodiment, in which projections are formed in the columns, which engage in grooves formed in the shelves to achieve the angular stability, is not shown in the figures, but also possible within the scope of the invention. Likewise, instead of the screw rivet, key bolts, lock driver or the like. Can be used.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen in perspektivischer Detailansicht ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen freistehenden Regals, wobei Figur 5 eine Ansicht von außen und Figur 6 eine Ansicht von innen zeigt.The Figures 5 and 6 show in perspective detail view of a second embodiment of the free-standing shelf according to the invention, wherein FIG. 5 a view from the outside and FIG. 6 shows a view from the inside.

Die Säulen 20 sind bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als gleichschenklige Profilteile ausgebildet. In regelmäßigen Abständen sind, wie auch in der Schnittansicht der Figur 7 gezeigt ist, auf der Innenseite der Säulen Vorsprünge 24 ausgebildet, die durch in den Kantenblechen 32 ausgebildeten Nuten oder länglichen Öffnungen 34 hindurchgreifen und mit diesen eine formschlüssige Verbindung bilden, die Drehmomente überträgt. Zur Fixierung der Fachböden 30 mit den Säulen 20 dienen von oben in eine in dem Vorsprung 24 ausgeformte Öffnung einschiebbare Steckverbinder 48. Das in den Figuren 5 bis 7 gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel erlaubt eine Winkelstabilisierung sowohl in Regallängs- als auch Querrichtung. Gleichzeitig erlauben die Steckverbinder 48 eine schnelle und einfache Montage des Regals und gleichzeitig eine sichere Fixierung der Fachböden 30 an den Regalsäulen 20.The columns 20 are formed in this embodiment as isosceles profile parts. At regular intervals, as well as in the sectional view of the FIG. 7 is shown formed on the inside of the columns projections 24 which engage through formed in the edge plates 32 grooves or elongated openings 34 and form with these a positive connection, which transmits torques. To fix the shelves 30 with the columns 20 are used from above into an opening formed in the projection 24 opening 48 insertable into the FIGS. 5 to 7 shown embodiment allows an angle stabilization both Regallängs- and transverse direction. At the same time allow the connector 48 a quick and easy installation of the shelf and at the same time a secure fix the shelves 30 to the shelf columns 20th
