Description

Three-dimensional composite system

I. Field of application

The invention relates to a modular system for creating primarily of all containers such as shelves, but also completely or partially closed elements such as cabinets, enclosures, etc., as well as the containers produced therefrom itself.

II. Technical background

The purpose of such modular systems is z. For example, to be able to create shelves in different heights and widths individually from a possible low number of different individual parts. This makes it easier for the manufacturer to store due to fewer different parts and allows the user to create from the existing items in the dimensions varying shelves or cabinets.

Such modular systems for z. B. Shelves are available in many variants on the market:

So can be z. For example, panels of the same size, used both as walls and shelves, can produce shelves that are uniformly square in the front and in which one Plate from one to the next corner joint ranges, both in horizontal and vertical direction.

In addition, of course, shelf systems are known in which, for example, the vertical side walls are formed continuously, and in between horizontal shelves of different lengths are suspended.

However, this already sets the height of the shelf, or is variable only in that different heights of these side walls are offered by the manufacturer.

In addition, furniture fittings, such as rotary joints, are naturally also known for individual furniture construction, with which individually dimensioned plate-shaped vertical side parts and horizontal floors can be connected at right angles to one another, for example by projecting into one element a protruding pin with a thickened free end End is screwed, which engages behind a groove in the wall of a cup-shaped rotary member, which is rotatably disposed near the outer edge in the other part and when turning due to changing wall thickness the thickened head and thus the first part draws and fixes.

The disadvantage of all these systems, however, is that it is not necessarily possible to create different shelves, cabinets or housings from one and the same individual parts, not necessarily in terms of their height and width and, above all, in the cantilevered, horizontal width.

IN THE. Presentation of the invention

a) Technical task

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a kit for creating shelves, cabinets or housings, which despite less different items is easy to handle and also horizontal floors of different lengths from the same, mutually aligned individual parts allowed to create.

b) Solution of the task

This object is solved by the features of claims 1 and 2. Advantageous embodiments will be apparent from the dependent claims.

Since the tensioning device can bias not only plates at an angle to one another, but also mutually aligned plates against each other, this opens up the possibility of forming, from individual plates arranged in a row, a e.g. stable shelf of a shelf, or to produce a vertical wall of a shelf or a cabinet or housing. In the previously known systems, this was only possible if in the connection region between the two aligned plates therefrom a transversely projecting plate was present.

Of course, the possibility remains that a shelf or even a vertical wall of the container consists of only a single plate.

This makes it possible to assemble shelves and similar containers of any height and width from always the same or only a small number of different plates.

For the purposes of the present application, it should be clarified that a plate is by no means to be understood as meaning only a continuous plate, but rather any element which has a substantially greater extent in its main plane than in its thickness. Such a plate may well have breakthroughs, so be as a perforated plate as well as a grid of metal rods welded together. As a rule, however, the plate is a flat material, such as a wood or plastic plate to be. The plate is preferably flat and / or rectangular.

In this case, the tensioning devices in the plates are preferably not only in the edge-side end regions of the plates, but extend over their entire length or width in the main plane of the plate, preferably not only over the length or width of the individual plate, but over the entire length of the plates arranged in alignment one behind the other, in order to press and stabilize the plates aligned one behind the other in the direction of alignment, if necessary also across the thickness of the adjoining plates at an angle.

Such a tensioning device can be, for example, a tensioning cable or a tensioning rod, which extends along the longitudinal direction or transverse direction of the plane of the plate, ie the desired tensioning direction, which is generally the alignment direction of the plates arranged one behind the other, either in the interior of the plate Plates lying in this direction are bores or lying in the same direction, open to the outer surfaces of the plates grooves. The holes or the bottom of the grooves are spaced from the center of the thickness of the plates, however, in addition also on the center of the plate thickness holes, in particular in the middle of the length or width of a plate may be present.

The off-centered bores or grooves are used above all to create from several adjacent plates a horizontal stable floor, for which the clamping device, ie in particular the tensioning cable or the tension rod, must be arranged below the center of the thickness of the plates to cause a bias vertically upward, and for this purpose, the plates are used so that the corresponding holes or the groove bottom are below the center of the thickness. In grooves for arranging clamping devices, these grooves are preferably arranged only in one of the outer surfaces of the plates, while the other has a continuous intact surface and as an upwardly directed support surface z. B. a shelf is used.

If the tensioning device comprises a tensioning cable, the tensioning device further includes at least one tensioning roller, on the circumference of which the end of the tensioning cable is placed, fixed and with the aid of which the tensioning cable can be tensioned in the longitudinal direction of the cable.

The tensioning cable can either be a cable that runs through in the longitudinal direction with a constant cross section, or else a tensioning cable which has thickenings at regular intervals, at which other parts of the tensioning device, for example a tensioning roller or a dead center lever, can attack to tension the tensioning cable in its longitudinal direction.

The tensioning cable then extends in one piece over the entire length of the plates arranged one behind the other in alignment, optionally also over the thickness of the adjoining plates which are arranged transversely thereto.

If the tensioning device comprises a tensioning rod, this tensioning rod can-at least in its end-side end regions-be designed as a threaded rod with an internal and / or external thread, so that this nut or screw can be screwed or screwed onto a corresponding nut or screw can support a corresponding mating surface, be it the end face of the corresponding plate itself, through which the tension rod extends through, or the side surface of an adjacent, transverse thereto plate, to which the plate longitudinally penetrated by the clamping plate abuts.

When using tie rods whose length is preferably consistent with the length or width of the plates which they are to penetrate, however can as well as the plates themselves and the corresponding tie rods in alignment arranged one behind the other and connected to each other by a suitable coupling element, which must be at least on train in the longitudinal direction as strong as the tension rod itself.

Since the clamping device does not necessarily ensure the exact positioning of the meeting plates, preferably in addition to the clamping device positioning elements, for. B. Positionierzapfen used to position the plates against each other by these positioning pins engage in each case a part of its extension in one of the two adjacent plates form-fitting manner.

For the same purpose, the plates may also have a tongue and groove configuration, in particular with a groove in one of the end faces of the plate, and a mating spring in the opposite end face.

The plates themselves may be a polygon, in particular a rectangle or a square, and be present in one or more sizes. For example, panels of equal length but different widths may be used to build shelves of varying depth, or panels of equal width and length may be included in the kit so as not to be tied to a single fixed pitch. If the plates differ in their length, the length of the different plates is preferably in each case an integer multiple of the length of the shortest plate. In the simplest case, the kit only from plates of a single size, from which still containers of different dimensions can be produced.

The plates may each have in their length or width extending holes or grooves only in length or width, or in both

Main plane directions, and also through holes extending through the thickness of the plate, along with and / or transverse grooves or bores or alone in separate plates having only the holes in the thickness direction.

Are all types of grooves and holes on all plates available, these plates are very universal, but may suffer from the appearance of the resulting finished article underneath, as then a variety of grooves and holes are seen, the functionally even in an individual case are not needed, even if only one hole or groove per direction of the main plane is present.

The longitudinally and widthwise extending grooves or bores preferably extend at the same distance offset from the outer edge, but viewed in the thickness direction, the longitudinally extending grooves or holes at a different height level than those in the width direction.

The bores in the thickness direction can either be present at the point of intersection of the grooves or bores of the length direction and width direction or can be arranged offset therefrom.

Preferably, the plates additionally have a bore extending in the main plane in the middle of their thickness, preferably both in the length direction and in the width direction, in each case only one and not a plurality of parallel such holes in each direction, ie in the middle of Width and running in the middle of the length, so that these two center holes in the interior of the plate also intersect.

These central bores are used primarily for creating vertical walls of multiple panels, which generally do not require biasing to one side of the main plane, unless it is the outer wall of a shelf: Thus, to create partitions in shelves or cabinets, these center holes are used for receiving the tensioning device, for which only a single in the middle of the width, ie the depth direction of the resulting shelf, is sufficient.

In the creation of external walls of a cabinet or shelf, however, again to one of the outside lying holes or grooves are used to bias this side wall towards the middle of the shelf or center of the cabinet out, as is also used in the horizontal shelves to the resulting Total plate in the opposite direction of the clamping device transverse direction, ie upward bias.

In this way, different containers can be produced from the elements of the construction kit according to the invention:

On the one hand shelves which are variable both in height and in width by juxtaposing plates in their plane, or even by a single plate in a plane.

If in particular of the grid to the thickness of the plates deviating supplementary plates are included in the kit, also rear walls and front walls - also openable front walls in the form of doors - can be attached to a shelf body, such z. B. rear walls can sit on the frame-like circumferential shelf body or placed in the cavity of this cream.

Accordingly, such containers can be used not only as a shelf, but in the field of furniture as a cabinet or chest and beyond - possibly in other sizes - made of such a kit and housing and other containers. Especially with housings, it is often necessary that z. B. the front surface has a recess, which is then arranged in one of the plates as either annularly enclosed or preferably open towards a narrow side of the plates recess.

The holes or grooves running in the plane of the plate preferably extend beside the recess and past it, so that they can still extend over the entire length or width of a plate.

By also mounting fixtures, in particular mounting holes, can be provided for hinges in the plates, doors or flaps can be made from the plates, which are pivotally mounted on the body.

1 a and 1 b show on the one hand a tall, slender and on the other hand a wide, low shelf without back wall, which are each composed of the same plates 1:

While in the tall slender shelf of Fig. 1a superimposed four shelves are present, each of which consists of two horizontally aligned side by side positioning plates 1, the only two shelves in Fig. 1 b each consist of three juxtaposed flush plates. 1

Also in the case of the vertical side walls, the two shelves differ from the number of plates 1 '"in that four plates 1'" vertically arranged one above the other in the high shelf of Fig. 1a form a side wall, in the lower shelf of Fig. 1 b, however, only two such plates 1 '"one above the other, forming a side wall.

In FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, plates which are equal in size, if appropriate, are used as shelf bottoms and side walls, but possibly different plates with regard to their bores or grooves.

Furthermore, FIG. 1 c shows a tall, slender shelf analogous to FIG. 1 a, which additionally has a rear wall fitted onto the shelf according to FIG. 1 a, which consists of supplementary plates 1 *, which extend around the thickness of the side walls 1 '"have greater width than the plates used in the shelves 1 and a height corresponding to the height of the side plates 1'".

As in FIG. 1 a, in the case of the horizontal shelves, the individual plates 1, which make up these shelves, are prestressed against one another with the aid of the through holes 6, in which, in FIGS. put tensioners 3 are located. This is the case with the rear wall forming plates 1 * the case with the through holes 6 in the vertical direction, over which the mutually vertically extending supplementary plates 1 * are biased vertically against each other.

FIG. 1d shows a container which has both a completely closed rear wall via the wide low shelf without rear wall according to FIG. 1b and also a partially closed front which, of course, can also be completely closed in practice.

In contrast to the solution in Figure 1 c, the rear wall and front wall forming supplementary plates 1 * are not placed on the shelf body from the front and rear, but used in the free space and thus lower by the single or double thickness of the horizontally arranged plates in height executed, depending on whether the height of the rear wall consists of a continuous plate or two superimposed plates 1 *, corresponding to the side walls, as shown in the middle region.

In the width direction of the shelf, the plates 1 * are as wide as the plates 1, from which the horizontal shelves are formed.

The drawn as a front panel 1 ^* , which closes only 1/3 of the front, additionally has a recess 29, as they may be necessary just when using a container as a housing.

The recess 29 is open towards one of the outer edges of the plate 1 * and the holes 6 arranged in this plate 1 * running in the plane of the plate run alongside the recess 29.

As shown in FIG. 3, for the realization of a functioning building block mostly both in the longitudinal direction 10 extending holes 6 and grooves 7 are necessary, as well as thickness holes 16, which is determined by the thickness of the plate 1, ie extend transversely to the lying in the main plane of the plate 1 center plane 15 therethrough as through holes.

These three extending directions of recesses 6, 7, 16 can be present in one and the same plate 1, as shown in Fig. 3a, or it can be used plates in which only one type of recesses is present, as in the Fig. 3c to 3e shown, ie

in the plates V only the holes 6 and grooves 7 in the longitudinal direction 10, - in the plates 1 "only the holes 6 and grooves 7 in the transverse direction 11 and in the plates 1 '" only the thickness holes 16th

All combinations of these are of course possible. Per recirculation need not necessarily be more recesses. Even a single pro course direction can already be enough.

If all three recesses 6, 7, 16 or at least the bores 6 or grooves 7 extending in the longitudinal direction 10 and transverse direction 11 are present in one and the same plate 1, they are preferably located at different heights, viewed in the thickness direction 20 Plate 1:

Thus, the e.g. in the longitudinal direction 10 extending bores 6 or grooves 7 on one side of the median plane 15, so that in the case of grooves 7, these are open to the top, and the running in the transverse direction 11 holes 6 or grooves 7 on the other side of the the median plane 15, so that in the case of grooves 7, these are open to the bottom.

Preferably, the holes 6 and grooves 7 are each set back from the end faces 1 c of the plate 1 by the same value towards the center.

In addition, in the plate 1 of Fig. 3a and b each have a longitudinally and transversely extending center bore 17a, 17b, which is located on the Center plane 15 is located, which is in contrast to the grooves 7 and 6 holes not in pairs in each direction, but only one in the middle of the length or width of the plate.

The shelves of Fig. 1 a and b are thus accurately considered indeed constructed of the same size plates, however, which are provided with different recesses:

While the plates 1, which form the horizontal shelves, need not have tap holes 16 and not even in the depth direction bores o- of the grooves, but only in the longitudinal direction, ie from one shelf wall to the other extending holes or grooves, are thickness holes 16th in the used for the vertical side walls plates 1 '"available to deface the shelf, so the top of the shelves, not with holes or other recesses.

The vertical plates are then only on each other, but can also be biased against each other.

2 to 6 show - partially in sectional views - different clamping devices to connect adjacent plates 1 both in alignment with each other and at an angle to each other:

In Fig. 2, a first clamping device is shown, comprising a tie rod 5, which is composed of a plurality of rod sections 5a, 5b, as well as the horizontal shelf is composed of a plurality of plates 1, which connect horizontally in alignment with each other. The shelf ending on the right is followed by a vertically standing plate 1, which serves as a side wall, e.g. a shelf serves and with which the shelf should be firmly connected.

For this purpose, a clamping rod 5 by the in the longitudinal direction 10 of the plates 1 extending through holes 6 and also as clamping element through the adjacent, aligned and preferably thick thickness bore 16 inserted in the vertical plate and then from the outer sides of the side walls of the shelf, of which in Fig. 2c are two superposed visible, longitudinally stretched by supporting on these outer surfaces.

The superimposed plates 1 can not slip against each other, since they are secured by positioning pins 30 between these plates 1, which extend into corresponding recesses of the end faces of these plates, up and down.

The same purpose could be fulfilled at this point, a tongue and groove connection of the vertical plates.

The individual rod sections are connected to each other, for example screwed together. In the present case, the rod sections at their front ends in each case longitudinally extending blind hole threaded holes 18, so that a grub screw 19 each half in the two adjacent rod sections 5a, b screwed these firmly together in the longitudinal direction.

Since the rod portion ends at the end of the shelf with this, the thickness of the vertical plate 1 is overcome by means of a correspondingly long clamping screw 12, which is inserted from the outside of the vertical plate and inserted into the threaded bore 18 at the end of the tie rod 5 and screwed is supported, and with a widened edge of her head on the outer surface of the sidewall thereby supports.

The tensioning element, in this case the tensioning rod 6, thus extends here over the entire horizontal length of the shelf and additionally the thickness of the two adjacent side walls. If the shelf is more than two

Side walls, including partitions, has, the clamping element, Here, the tie rod 5, extend over a plurality of successively aligned shelves and more than two vertical side walls away in the horizontal direction, as shown in Figure 2d, wherein in addition to bridging thickness of the intermediate wall by a corresponding longer grub screw 19 'and optionally a , this surrounding positioning sleeve 22 'or eccentric bush 21 is held in the transverse direction of the grub screw 19'.

A major problem with the horizontally aligned shelves 1 is the stability under load from above by placing objects, such as books:

There is a risk that at the contact points between two adjacent plates 1, the shelf bottom bends down. In order to avoid this, it is attempted with the aid of the tensioning device 3 to generate a bias upwards in the shelf without bulging it upwards in the unloaded state.

This is achieved in that the clamping element, such as the clamping rod 5, is inserted in holes or grooves below the median plane 15 of the horizontally disposed plates 1, as shown in Fig. 2.

Although the drawn in Fig. 2 bore 6 is indeed in the middle of the thickness of the plates 1, however, it can also be achieved a bias upwards by the tension rod 5 in the side view of Fig. 2a and c is considered to bulge downwards:

This can be achieved by the bore 6 has a larger diameter than the clamping rod 5, and by an eccentric bushing 21 - as shown in cross-section of Fig. 2b - the clamping rod 5 presses against the upper cross-sectional area of the bore 18, wherein the eccentric bushing 21 is provided approximately U-shaped with a groove in a radial direction, in which the tension rod 5 fits. If such an eccentric bush 21 in addition to each Half inserted into the holes 6 of the adjacent plates 1 and has an outer periphery corresponding to the inner circumference of these holes 6, such eccentric bushing 21 serves as a positioning pin between two adjacent plates simultaneously.

At the respective end of the tension rod 5 whose end is held by the rotationally symmetrical clamping screw 12 and the threaded pin 12a in the middle of the bore 6 aligned with the bore 16, whereby the tension rod 5 receives its overall course a slightly curved, curved downwards contour.

The alignment of the holes 6 and 16 is ensured by a positioning sleeve 22 having a central passage opening for the end of the tie rod 5 on the one hand and the threaded pin 12a of the clamping screw 12 on the other hand and in the final state partly in the last horizontal plate 1 and partially in the vertical plate 1 is inserted. Is mounted by inserting the clamping screw 12 from the outside of the vertical plate 1 ago and forward sliding into the horizontal plate 1 in, preferably by means of the clamping screw 12th

Fig. 4 shows a second tensioning device 3 in a representation analogous to FIG. 2, which differs in that a tensioning cable 4 'is used as the tensioning element instead of the tensioning rod, on which thickenings 9, for example small balls, are arranged at preferably regular intervals , which in the longitudinal direction tensile strength with the tensioning cable 4 'are connected, and on which other parts of the tensioning device 3 can act to tension the tensioning cable 4' in the longitudinal direction 10.

For this purpose, the introduced from the outside of the vertical shelf wall clamping screw 12 'has a bush-shaped base body 23, which fits into the thickness hole 16 exactly, and has a central internal thread into which an expansion screw 24 is screwed, which is with its widened flange the outside of the vertical plate 1 is supported. The spreading screw 24 has a conical tip which sits when forward screwing the expansion screw 24 in the body 23 between the rear ends of retaining claws 25 and this apart when forward screwing the expansion screw 24 in the main body 23 apart, wherein the base body 23 by a Vielnutverzahnung or the like on the outer circumference is hindered in a co-rotating in the thickness hole 16.

The retaining claws 25, two or more of which are arranged distributed over the circumference in the inner surfaces of the sleeve-shaped base body 23 are bent and mounted in its central region about a transverse axis to the longitudinal direction 10 pivot axis 26 so that with increasing pressing of their rear ends of the front ends 26a a positioned in the gripping region of the retaining claws 25 thickening 9 engage and when applied to the thickening 9 of the main body 23 further axially in the direction of expansion screw 24 together with the tensioning cable 4 'is pulled.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show a tensioning device in which tensioning cables 4 are used without regularly arranged thickenings in the middle region. This tensioning cable 4 has only at one end a thickening 9, which can not be pulled through the hole 6 or groove 7, in which the tensioning cable 4 is located.

For tensioning the tensioning cable 4 tensioning rollers 13 are used, which are inserted in this case in one of the extending in the direction of the main plane of the plate outer surfaces 1 a or b of the plates 1 in correspondingly dimensioned cup holes 14, as shown in Fig. 5a.

Here are located on each of the longitudinal direction 10, for example, extending groove 7 near the end portions of the plate 1 depending on a pot bore 14 which is penetrated by the groove 7 and preferably deeper than the groove 7 so that a lying in the groove 7 tensioning cable 4 is about in the middle of the thickness of the inserted into the pot bore 14 tension roller 13 - which is located in the farthest of the end thickening 9 pot bore - can be wound. In this case, the free end of the tensioning cable 4 - whose length is produced by cutting at the free end according to the desired length of the shelf to be produced, for example - fixed on the winding circumference 27 of the tension roller 13 and then the tension roller 13 is rotated in the winding direction of the tensioning cable 4 and thus the tensioning cable 4 is increasingly stretched in the longitudinal direction 10. Since the tensioning cable 4 extends through all the plates 1 arranged in alignment with one another, these plates 1 are thereby pressed against one another in the longitudinal direction 10. The tension roller 13 is prevented from turning back, for example, by pawls on its outer circumference arranged teeth 28, the flanks of which extend approximately parallel to the outer circumference in the winding, in the unwinding almost radially, and thereby dig into the inner circumference of the pot bore 14.

As the sectional view of Fig. 5b shows, the plates 1 are prepared for the preparation of a shelf so that the grooves 7 are in its bottom and the lower half of the thickness to the means of the tensioned tensioning cable 4, the desired bias of the plates 1 after effect above.

While in the solution of FIG. 5, the tensioning cable 4 only extends through the plates 1 arranged in alignment one behind the other, but not through a possibly adjacent plate 1 arranged transversely thereto, FIG. 6 shows a solution in views analogous to FIG. in which the tensioning cable 4 also extends through the adjoining transverse, mostly vertical plate 1 in the form of a side wall and also pretensions this from the outside against the horizontal plates 1 used as a shelf:

In this case, the clamping screw 12 "is designed as a tension roller 13 'and - as in the Fig. 4 - executed in several parts: Again, a base body 23 '- preferably provided on the outer circumference again with a splined profiling against rotation in the thickness bore 16 - in the thickness hole 16th

In its central inner opening a tensioning roller 13 'can be inserted and rotatably mounted on the winding circumference 27' turn the free end of the tensioning cable 4 and wound and thereby in the longitudinal direction 10 of the tensioning cable 4 can be tensioned. Again, the tension roller 13 'secured by suitable devices on turning back in the unwinding. In order to allow the tensioning cable 4 to emerge from the latter in the direction of the horizontal plates 1 in the thickness bore, a corresponding through-hole may be present in the lower region of the base body 23.

Even with this solution, it is clear that at the other end of the tensioning cable 4 is not necessarily a thickening 9 'must be, but instead the tensioning cable 4 may have two free ends, each wound on an analog tensioning roller or clamping screw and thus in the longitudinal direction is tensionable.

It goes without saying that for a, as shown in Figs. 1 a and b illustrated in addition to a similar principle, a rear wall can be made, and if necessary, a front door or door, according to the same principle of operation of individual plates and then - in the case of the rear wall, fixed firmly to a hinged door or flap - with the existing carcass.
