FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a spatial boundary 1 with a first device 3 and a second device 5, which are joined to the boundary 1. The devices 3 and 5 are preferably constructed identically and each have a partial bottom 7 and a part of the bottom 7 associated lever arm 9, which is designed as a part of the bottom 7 vertical side wall, on. In the assembled state, the boundary 1 has a U-shaped cross-section. It can be seen that the side walls 11 are each twice as long as the part of the floors 7, so that advantageously a continuous U-shaped cross-section is formed, which has a composed of the two sub-floors 7 total bottom 13 and two of the side walls 11. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the devices 3 and 5, which are composable to the boundary 1, have different sized sub-floors 7, which are in an area ratio to each other, for example 1/3: 2/3. For this case, the side walls 11 would still have an identical length, in contrast, only effective lengths of the lever arms 9 would be different. Regardless of the side walls 11 are the same length as the composite part of the floors 7 having total floor 13th

The sub-floors 7 and the lever arms 9, in particular the side walls 11, in the assembled state of the delimitation 1 form a fixing device 15 by means of which the devices 3 and 5 can be fixed to one another. In this case, preferably at least as great fixing forces can be applied that the spatial delimitation 1 in a normal handling, so for example when touching only one side wall 11 or only one of the devices 3 or 5, not automatically dismantled again. As parts of the fixing device 15, each of the devices 3 and 5 has a first pin 17 and a second pin 19. The pins 17 and 19 can engage in a first recess 21 and in a second recess 23 for fixing the devices 3 and 5. Each of the devices 3 and 5 has correspondingly a first recess 21 and a second recess 23. If hereinafter only a partial bottom 7, lever arm 9 and / or a side wall 11 reference is made, the description for the first device 3 applies equally as for the second device 5, since they are each constructed identically with respect to the fixing device 15.

The first pin 17 is assigned to the lever arm 9. The first recess 21 is assigned to one side 25 of the part bottom 7 or introduced into the side 25. In the fixed state, the first pin 17 of the side walls 11 each in the first recesses 21 of the sides 25 of the shelves 7 form, frictionally and / or non-positively engage.

An end face 27 of the part of the bottom 7 has the second pin 19 and the second recess 23. The end faces 27 can be assigned to each other by means of the fixing device 15 in the assembled state of the delimitation 1 in a positive, frictionally and / or non-positively locking manner. For this purpose, the respective second pin 19 engage in the respective second recess 23 of the end faces 27 of the devices 3 and 5. The pins 19 and the recesses 23 are exemplary and can be replaced by any other positive, frictional and / or non-positive connection elements, such as a roughening, a surface structure, in particular a zigzag structure, one or more stages and / or the like and / or be supplemented.

To form the fixing device 15, the second pin 19 has an identical distance 29 to a central axis 31 of the part of the bottom 7. In order to ensure engagement of the second pin 19 of the first device 3 in the second recess 23 of the second device 5, a positive shape or a surface of the second pin 19 and a negative shape or a surface of the second recess 23 are substantially 180 ° rotationally symmetrical to an in FIG. 1 not shown in detail, which is perpendicular to the image plane, the central axis 31 intersects and extends through the end face 27 of the sub-floor 7. To achieve the positive, frictional and / or non-positive fixing, it is also possible that the second pin 19 and the second recess 23 deliberately differ slightly from the 180 ° rotationally symmetrical shape, wherein desired in the assembled state Passive forces occur. Basically, to achieve the positive, frictional and / or non-positive assignment of the end faces 27 of the devices 3 and 5 to each other arbitrary rotationally symmetrical shapes of the end face 27 having a positive structure and rotationally symmetrical about said rotational axis of symmetry constructed negative structure, in which the positive structure can be introduced, conceivable. It is possible to provide elastomechanisch insurmountable undercuts when joining, which provide a locking function. It is possible to form the negative structure not exactly rotationally symmetrical to the positive structure and provide a game. It is essential that the positive structure with a positive, frictional and / or non-positive contact contact in the negative structure can be introduced or at least partially applied to this.

FIG. 2 each shows a side view of the first device 3 and the second device 5 ago FIG. 1 , By means of an arrow 33 is indicated how the devices 3 and 5 can be joined together for demarcation 1. It can be seen that the part of the bottom 7 is flush with the side wall 11, that is arranged next to the side wall 11.

FIG. 3 shows a spatial boundary 1 with a first device 3 and a second device 5, analogous to FIG. 1 , FIG. 4 shows the in FIG. 3 shown demarcation in a side view analogous to the representation in FIG. 2 , In the following, only the differences are discussed. In contrast to the representation according to the Figures 1 and 2 the part of the bottom 7 is disposed below the side wall 11, resulting in a in FIG. 4 visible stage shows. Accordingly, the devices 3 and 5 according to the Figures 1 and 2 or the FIGS. 3 and 4 be combined in different ways to the spatial delimitation 1. According to the Figures 1 and 2 For example, the devices 3 and 5 can move along a translatory motion of the in FIG. 1 shown arrow 33 are pushed toward each other and locked together by means of the fixing device 15. For this purpose, for example, the lever arm 9 can bend slightly outwards before it engages on the corresponding side wall 11 of the respective other device 3 and 5. According to the representations 3 and 4, the devices 3 and 5 can initially be moved towards one another in a tilted state in translation toward one another, which is indicated by means of the arrow 35. The end faces 27 of the Devices 3 and 5 are moved toward each other until they strike each other or pre-engage the second pin 19 in the second recesses 23. By means of a third curved arrow 37 is in FIG. 4 indicated that the lever arms 9 and the side walls 11 can be rotated around the end faces 27 in the direction of the part of the bottoms 7 from the voreingered state until the respective first pin 17 engage in the respective recesses 21 of the devices 3 and 5.

Another difference is the first pin 17 on a in FIG. 3 visible inside 39 of the sub-floor 7 is provided. Accordingly, the first recess 21, in which the first pin 17 can engage positively, frictionally and / or non-positively, on a in FIG. 3 invisible bottom 41 of the lever arm 9 and the side wall 11 is provided.

Simplifying are in the Figures 2 and 4 the pins 17 and 19 and the recesses 21 and 23 are not shown in detail. Alternatively and / or additionally, it is conceivable to provide on the inner side 39 a pin and a recess and correspondingly on the underside 41 also a pin and a recess. Further, it is conceivable to provide on the lever arm 9, not shown, substantially perpendicular to the bottom 41 protrusion, which in a corresponding step or recess, which is also substantially perpendicular to the inside 39 to provide. As a result, the lever arm 9 can advantageously be tensioned by means of the rotary movement represented by the third arrow 37, so that the end faces 27 of the component bottoms 7 of the devices 3 and 5 are likewise braced against one another. Advantageously, the same can be prevented by means of the fixing device 15 and the resulting positive, frictional and / or non-positive association of the end faces 27. By means of the bias and the form, force and / or frictional assignment of the end faces 27 to each other, a particularly stable assignment of the devices 3 and 5 to each other, ie a stable spatial delimitation 1 are made possible.

FIG. 6 shows a side view of the in the Figures 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 In addition, two U-shaped first clips 43 can be seen, by means of which in each case the sub-floors 7 in addition to the lever arms 9 and side walls 11 of the devices 3 and 5 are assigned. In the FIGS. 14a to 14c For example, various views of the u-shaped first clip 43 are shown. Figure 14a shows a bottom view, FIG. 14b a side view and FIG. 14c a further side view of the U-shaped first clip 43. The U-shaped first clip 43 has a connecting web 44, the two legs 45 are assigned. The U-shaped first clip 43 may be made in one piece by injection molding, for example. The legs 45 can form latching arms and have a certain elasticity.

Figure 14d shows a further U-shaped first clip 43 in a side view, analogous to FIG. 14c , As a difference, the legs 45 each have an inwardly facing latching projection 47. The latching projections 47 may be connected to the side walls 11, in FIG. 6 Not shown recesses are brought into engagement to apply additional clamping forces for fixing the side walls 11 to the adjacent part of the bottom floors 7 clamping forces.

The FIGS. 15a and 15b show another U-shaped first clip 43 as in the illustrations according to the Figures 14b and 14c , In contrast, have front ends of the legs 45 Einführhrabschrägungen 49, for example, at an angle of 45 ° on. Advantageously, the further U-shaped first clip 43 according to the FIGS. 15a and 15b be better inserted into corresponding recesses for producing a locking connection.

FIG. 7 shows a detail of a bottom view analogous to the one in FIG. 3 shown spatial delimitation 1, which by means of a dotted circle in FIG. 3 is localized. In contrast to the illustration according to FIG. 3 the sub-bottom 7 of the second device 5 has a rectangular opening 51 and a rectangular groove 53. In the opening 51 and the groove 53 of the sub-floor 7, the legs 45 of the U-shaped first clip 43 can pass through or intervene. Also in contrast to the representation according to the FIG. 3 For example, the side wall 11 of the first device 3 has an inner groove 55 and an outer groove 57, the outer groove 57 being adapted to the dimensions of the groove 53 of the sub-bottom 7 and the inner groove 55 to the dimensions of the opening 51 of the sub-bottom 7. Accordingly, the legs 45 of the U-shaped first clip 43 can also engage in the inner groove 55 and the outer groove 57. It is conceivable that the inner groove 55 and the outer groove 57 have recesses formed in FIG. 7 are not shown in detail, in which the locking projections 47 of the in Figure 14d illustrated U-shaped first clip 43 can intervene. According to the bottom view in FIG. 7 can the part of the bottom 7 are applied to the side wall 11, so that in the illustration FIG. 7 the part of the bottom 7 comes to rest in front of the side wall 11.

This joined state is in FIG. 9a shown, wherein the side wall 11 of the first device 3 lying below the part of the bottom 7 of the second device 5 is indicated only by dashed lines.

FIG. 9b shows the devices 3 and 5 in the bottom view according to FIG. 9a However, in addition to the U-shaped first clip 43. It can be seen that the legs 45 of the U-shaped first clip 43 through the opening 51 into the inner groove 55 and into the groove 53 of the sub-floor 7 and the outer groove 57 of the side wall 11 engage. In the illustration according to FIG. 9b is the web 44 in front of the part of the bottom 7 and the part of the bottom 7 in front of the side wall 11 and the lever arm. 9

FIG. 8 shows the side wall 11 of the first device 3 and the sub-bottom 7 of the second device 5 in the bottom view according to FIG. 7 but in a further embodiment. The following is merely to the differences to FIG. 7 received. In contrast to the illustration according to FIG. 7 the aperture 51 has a chamfer 59. By means of the chamfer 59, the legs 45 of the U-shaped first clip 43 can be guided during a passage, which simplifies the production of the clip connection of the partial bottom 7 with the side wall 11. In addition, a remaining between the opening 51 and the groove 53 of the part of the bottom 7 rib 61 has two chamfers 63, which can also serve as an insertion aid for the legs 45 of the U-shaped first clip 43. As a further difference, the rib 61 is set back with respect to a lower side 65 of the partial bottom 7. Advantageously, the rib 61 can be reset so far that the web 44 of the U-shaped first clip 43 terminates at least flush with the underside 65 of the sub-bottom 7. In contrast to the illustration according to FIG. 6 then advantageously protrudes the U-shaped first clip 43 does not extend beyond the bottom 65 of the sub-floor 7. The resulting Demarcation 1 can therefore just with the lower sides 65 of the sub-floors 7 on a support surface, such as a floor, are provided.

FIG. 11 shows a side view of two of the boundaries 1 analogous to the representation according to FIGS. 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 , The accruals 1 are according to FIG. 11 stacked over each other and associated with each other by means of an H-shaped second clip. The H-shaped second clip 67 engages around a side wall 11 from above and a part of the bottom 7 and a side wall 11 arranged above it from below in shape and function analogous to the representation according to FIG. 9b ,

The h-shaped second clip 67 is in the FIGS. 16a to 16c shown in different views. FIG. 16a shows the H-shaped second clip 67 from a bottom view, FIG. 16b in a side view and FIG. 16c in another side view. It can be seen that the H-shaped second clip 67 has a total of four legs 45, which analogous to the legs 45 of the in the FIGS. 14a to 14c illustrated U-shaped first clips 43 are constructed. The total of four legs 45 are arranged opposite a web 44, so that the H-shaped second clip 67 has substantially the functionality of the U-shaped first clip 43 twice.

FIG. 5 shows a plan view of two adjacent boundaries 1 constructed in an analogous manner Figures 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 , It can be seen that side walls 11 of the two boundaries 1 are arranged parallel to one another or side by side. For fixing the juxtaposed or parallel to each other side walls 11 and thus the two in FIG. 5 shown delimitations 1 two U-shaped third clips 69 are provided which engage around two side walls 11. The U-shaped third clip 69 is therefore configured significantly wider than the U-shaped first clip 43 in order to be able to embrace two side walls 11. Advantageously, the two side walls 11 can thereby be assigned to each other or fixed together.

The FIGS. 17a to 17c show different views of the U-shaped third clip 69. Figure 17a shows a bottom view, FIG. 17b a side view and FIG. 17c another side view of the U-shaped third clip 69. In shape and function of the U-shaped third clip 69 is substantially similar to the in the FIGS. 14a to 15b illustrated U-shaped first clip 43 constructed. In contrast, the U-shaped third clip 69 is designed so broad that it can surround two side walls 11 and assign each other.

The FIGS. 18a to 18c show various views of an H-shaped fourth clip 71. FIG. 18a shows a bottom view, FIG. 18b a side view, FIG. 18c a further side view of the H-shaped fourth clip 71. The H-shaped fourth clip 71 is constructed substantially in shape and function analogous to the H-shaped second clip 67, but built so wide that it can embrace two of the side walls 11 on both sides. The two open sides of the H-shaped fourth clip 71 are identical in shape and function to the U-shaped third clip 69. Advantageously, it is possible by means of the H-shaped fourth clip 71, the spatial boundaries 1 above the other, similar to FIG. 11 represented and juxtaposed, similar to in FIG. 5 shown to be combined with each other.

The FIGS. 19a to 19c show various views of an H-shaped fifth clip 73 with a step 75. FIG. 19a shows a plan view of the step 75, FIG. 19b a side view and FIG. 19c another side view. The H-shaped fifth clip 73 has substantially the same functionality as that in FIGS FIGS. 14a to 15b illustrated U-shaped first clip 43 and on a lower side 79 is substantially a functionality of the in the FIGS. 17a to 17c illustrated U-shaped third clip 69. By means of the step 75, the top 77 and the bottom 79 merge into one another. Advantageously, for example by means of the H-shaped fifth clip 73 three of the boundaries 1 are combined. It is conceivable, for example, two of the boundaries 1, analogous to FIG. 5 to arrange next to each other and assign them by means of the bottom 79 of the H-shaped fifth clip 73 to each other. Then another one of the delimitations 1 can be stacked on the two delimitations, analogous to the representation according to FIG FIG. 11 , wherein advantageously on the one hand by means of the h-shaped fifth clip 73, the delimitation 1 stacked thereon can be assigned to the further two delimitations 1 and a corresponding sub-bottom 7 of a side wall 11 of the delimitation above can be assigned to one another.

The Figures 10a and 10b show a detail of a bottom view of the adjacent boundaries 1 according to FIG. 5 , It can be seen that the U-shaped third clip 69 engages in the openings 51 of the boundaries 1. The U-shaped third clip 69 thus engages in order to allocate the side walls 11 only from the inside into the openings 51. The outer grooves 57 are not needed for this function.

The FIGS. 12 and 13 show another feature of the devices 3 and 5. FIG. 12 shows a bottom view of a detail of a latching device 81, whose location in FIG. 3 is indicated by a dotted rectangle. FIG. 13 FIG. 12 shows a side view of the side wall 11 of the second device 5. It can be seen that in this area too, the side wall 11 has an outer groove 57 and an inner groove 55, into which the legs 45, for example of the H-shaped second clip 67, can intervene. Similarly, a first breakthrough 51 is provided. In contrast to the illustration according to FIG. 9b is at this point the first device 3, the side wall 11 integrally connected to the part of the bottom 7. Otherwise, the locking device 81 results in the same, as in FIG. 9b shown, functionality. In this respect, the description of the FIGS. 9a and 9b directed. Another difference is in FIG. 13 it can be seen that the outer groove 57 is not designed to be continuous. Alternatively, however, this is also possible.

1. A device comprising a unit (3,5) to create a space divider (1), including:

   - a partial base (7) to create the space divider (1) and

   - a lever arm (9) attached to the partial base (7),

   where two of the said units (3,5) are combined into a single combined base (13), on a single level by using two partial bases (7), the lever arms (9) of the units (3,5) being attachable to the partial base (7) of the other unit (3,5) using an attachment device (15) created by the lever arm (9) and the partial base (7) themselves and the two partial bases (7) of the two units (3,5) can be linked together by means of at least one of the following elements: interlocking forms, friction and traction.
2. A device according to the previous claim, where the lever arm (9) presents a side wall (11) perpendicular to the partial base (7) in order to create the divider (1).
3. A shelving system having a number of units (3,5) used to create a space divider (1) according to one of the previous claims and a number of clips (43,67,69,71,73) to link the units (3,5) together.
4. A shelving system according to the previous claim where a lever arm (9) of a first unit (3) of many is linked to the partial base (7) of a second unit (5) of many, and the lever arm (9) of a second unit (5) of many is linked to the partial base (7) of the first unit (3) of many, using the first type of U-shaped clip (43).
5. A shelving system according to one of the previous claims 3 and 4 where the units (3,5) can be stacked on top of each other and the side-walls (11) which are lying on top of and alongside each other can be linked together using an H-shaped second type of clip (67).
6. A shelving system according to the previous claim, where the first side of the second type of clip (67) corresponds to the first type of clip (43) in form and function and where the second side of the second type of clip (67) is used to grip a side wall (11) which is stacked alongside.
7. A shelving system according to one of the previous claims 3 to 6 where the units (3,5) can be placed alongside each other and where the side walls (11) of multiple units (3,5) lying parallel and next to each other, can each be attached to the others using one or two U-shaped clips of a third type (69).
8. A shelving system according to the previous claim, where the first side and the second side of an H-shaped fourth type of clip (71) each correspond to the third type of clip (69) in shape and function, and using this fourth type of clip (71) a total of four sidewalls of a multiplicity of units (3,5) can be attached together.
9. A shelving system according to one of the two previous claims, where the first side of an H-shaped fifth type of clip (73) corresponds to the first type of clip (43) in form and function, and the second side of the fifth type of clip (73) corresponds to the third type of clip (69) in form and function and using this fifth type of clip (73) a total of three side walls (11) of the series of units (3,5) can be combined together.
10. A shelving system according to the previous claim, where the lever arm (9) of the first unit (3) of many can be combined with the partial base (7) of the second unit (5) of many, and the lever arm (9) of the second unit (5) of many can be combined with the partial base (7) of the first unit (3) of many and depending on the neighboring arrangement of further units (3,5) of many, may be attached using the first type of clip (43), the second type of clip (67), the third type of clip (69), the fourth type of clip (71) or the fifth type of clip (73).
