Description

Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a device for storing and presenting shoes and accessories. In particular, the present invention relates to a device for storing and presenting high heel women's shoes.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a mesh arrangement, in particular a net, for the storage and presentation of shoes.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a kit of parts for producing a device for storing and presenting shoes.

State of the art

From the prior art all kinds of devices are known for the storage and presentation of shoes, which can be summarized by the term "shoe rack". Especially in the private sector, shelves without further shoe-specific features are used. In the commercial sector, these shelves are often expanded by additional structures to present the shoes in an inclined position particularly impressive. For example, behind the shelf raised stacks behind the heels of shoes arranged in the shoe rack and lock them thus in their oblique position.

Such shoe shelves are not particularly popular in the private sector, for example, only flat men's shoes, but no high boots fit into it and women's shoes with high heels in them are not very stable. In addition, the space requirements and costs due to the number of parts and the cost of construction are disadvantageous. Moreover, dust and dirt get caught in the shelves, which can not be easily wiped off due to the other support structures. In addition, the distance between the individual shelves is usually not flexible adjustable. So if more shoes are to be added to the device, the capacity is set a firm limit. Another disadvantage of the known storage devices for shoes is that the manufacturer and sales side Logistics on the basis of massive wooden parts on the one hand costly, on the other hand - especially for the end customer - is so costly, as he needs to transport the device itself a spacious means of transport or the device must be delivered. In particular, for young people who neither have their own car nor longer time - for example, education related - remain at a residence, it would therefore be desirable to have a generic device, which on the one hand is easy to build, on the other hand can be packed together to a small volume. Moreover, especially for young people who often have comparatively less square footage available, there is a need to store and present a wide variety of shoes in a small space.

DE 84 25 039 U1 discloses a stand for the presentation of merchandise, which proposes a frame arranged in a grid arrangement for attachment of all kinds of goods by means of hooks.

DE 29 917 890 U1 discloses a hanging rack suspension device in which lattice-shaped parts are arranged perpendicularly or parallel to each other to provide more storage space in wardrobes.

US 8 151 980 B2 and US 5 261 529 A disclose storage and presentation devices for jewelry such as earrings and brooches, which include planar mesh assemblies in which the jewelry can be placed for mounting.

Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device of the type mentioned, by means of which the aforementioned disadvantages can be eliminated.

In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a shoe storage and display apparatus in which high heel women's shoes can be stably arranged.

An object of the present invention is to provide a space saving device for storing and presenting shoes.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a low cost manufacturing and transporting shoe storage and presentation device.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device for storing and presenting shoes which is easy to clean.

An object of the present invention is to provide a logistically advantageous device for storing and presenting shoes.

Summary of the invention

The present invention achieves the above-mentioned objects by a device having the features according to claim 1, a use according to claim 7 and a parts set having the features according to claim 8.

In the context of the present invention, a "mesh arrangement" is understood to mean a planar and substantially planar structure which has a plurality of passage openings whose cross-section is large in comparison to the material of the mesh arrangement itself. A mesh arrangement in the sense of the present invention can thus be, for example, a net or a grid, wherein the mesh size can be many times greater than the web width of the structure itself. Thus, a stitch arrangement may in particular be a substantially in-plane arranged plurality of interlocking and / or interconnected loops, e.g. from yarn, ropes, thread, wire or similar.

The materials of these structures are limited only by the necessity of their ability to absorb certain tensile forces and can e.g. from the amount of wood, cotton, plastics, hemp, linen, metal and steel as well as fibers and braids of the aforementioned materials are selected. In particular, a mesh arrangement can be produced from the abovementioned materials whose meshes have a low flexibility, so that the mesh width yields only slightly under the influence of tensile forces. However, the stitches can be fixed or, in particular in the case of a net as a mesh arrangement, flexible so that in the first case a stitch is described by respective equal sections of a structure (eg a certain length of yarn), which is ensured, for example, by firm knotting of the fabric is, in the second case interlocking structures are displaced against each other to some extent, as is the case when the structures without a firm anchorage to each other in the manner of a chain link fence have only small angles of wrap with each other.

If, in the context of the present invention, the term "substantially flat" is mentioned, one of them is at least partially substantially opposite the sole of a shoe level, global base area or inscribed area of the mesh arrangement understood. A possible local deformation by the introduction of a respective shoe may be disregarded here. In particular, it is advantageous if the widest possible part of the sole has contact with a part of the mesh arrangement, since this stabilizes the seat of the shoe in the mesh arrangement of the device. Also in conjunction with the FIGS. 6 and 7 Embodiments discussed below by way of example therefore disclose substantially planar mesh arrangements in the sense of the invention.

If in the context of the present invention the term "essentially vertical" is mentioned, this only means a distinction from such arrangements which, like a luggage net or a fishing net, make it possible to pick up objects by merely inserting them. Such loading of articles would allow storage of shoes but not their effective presentation and selection. "Substantially perpendicular" is thus intended to indicate that objects for temporary storage in the device can only be mounted, but not inserted into it. According to the invention, it is thus provided in particular that shoes can be introduced with their heels into the stitch arrangement and held there. This offers over known devices the advantage that the arrangement of the shoes to each other is extremely flexible and thus the device has a highly variable capacity. Another advantage is that by means of the device shoes can be stored and presented in a very small space, yet they are all and can be detected at a glance by a viewer and an occasion-appropriate pair can be selected with very little time. In addition, the present invention provides the opportunity to put through the stitches of the mesh arrangement also accessories and in particular belts, shawls and scarves, so that together can be presented and viewed, which is also used together. Depending on which type of mesh arrangement is used for the device, all parts can be disassembled, transported and stowed in a minimal space, for example the size of a shoebox.

By high heels are understood in the context of the present invention, by which the heel of the foot relative to the ground and towards the toes is raised by a not inconsiderable extent. In particular, such high heels may have a height between the bottom and the shoe sole, which corresponds at least to their diameter, but preferably a multiple, such as a 2-compartment, 3-compartment, 4-compartment or even higher multiples.

For the device mesh sizes can be used in a wide range. In the In practice, mesh sizes in the range between 2 and 10 centimeters have proven effective, in particular between 2 and 4 centimeters, it is possible to introduce almost any women's heel and yet to ensure a high degree of (shape) stability for the entire mesh arrangement. It may also be advantageous to provide different mesh sizes in the mesh arrangement or to provide flexible meshes. Thus, from the penny heel to the broad leather belt or even to the winter scarf all possible objects can be arranged in the device.

The subclaims show preferred embodiments of the invention.

However, a device according to the invention is not limited to the use of a mesh as a mesh arrangement. Meshes may also be formed by the appropriate relative arrangement e.g. rod-shaped or pale-shaped structures are created to each other. The mesh arrangement can be created by a mesh of flexible rod structures, but also in the manner of a hunter fence, which is known from the garden area, and which consists of an arrangement of two mutually rotated, superimposed arrangements each having substantially parallel bar structures. Such a mesh arrangement offers a multitude of creative possibilities, in particular with regard to the materials used.

In order to maintain the mesh arrangement in shape and to facilitate attachment of the device to room boundaries (eg, wall, ceiling, floor), a rigid, resilient frame may be further provided for the mesh arrangement. At this, the mesh arrangement can be attached and in the case of a network as a mesh arrangement and a necessary bias of the mesh arrangement can be achieved. For this purpose, the frame may on the one hand comprise fastening means, on the other hand clamping means. The clamping means may comprise, for example, pulleys, pulleys, turnbuckles with clamping screws, eyelets, etc. The frame may comprise a profile part in the manner of a guide rail with a lateral (or longitudinal) slot in the form of a groove and / or consist predominantly of such profile parts. To attach the stitch assembly in this frame, the stitch assembly may be surrounded by a seam having a greater cross-section than the other stitches of the stitch assembly. Alternatively, an outermost row of stitches of the stitching arrangement can also be pulled onto an elongated structure prior to fastening in the profile part, whose cross section, in particular together with a double cross section of the mesh material, is greater than the longitudinal opening of the slot. In this way, the hem or the elongated structure can be drawn into the profile part through a larger-dimensioned local opening (for example in the end region of the profile parts) and thus the mesh arrangement can be fixed in the profile part. Depending on what kind of Spacer the device is to be attached, spacers may be provided to ensure a predefined distance to the wall on which the device is arranged. The spacers may be attached either to the fasteners or to the frame. This ensures that projecting through the mesh arrangement shoe heels and garments do not come into contact with the wall and a secure hold of the shoes is thus guaranteed.

There may also be provided hinge elements on the fastening means or on the frame, whereby the device can be arranged pivotably. For example, can be pivoted between two positions, of which the first position is a substantially vertical position as described above for the presentation and selection of shoes, a second position, in particular for space-saving storage of shoes, which is less for presentation and selection of shoes. For this purpose, the hinge elements can enable pivoting of the frame from a vertical to a substantially horizontal orientation of the device.

Furthermore, rolling elements and / or sliding elements can be provided on the frame of the device. By means of this, the device can be pulled out, for example, in the horizontal direction, for example, behind a cabinet and pushed back there after the selection of shoes. In this way, space can be saved in that the selection process, which requires only little time, takes place, for example, in front of a door or in a passage area of a room, which is released again after the selection process by moving it again. Thus, the device for selecting garments can also be pushed into an area in which favorable lighting conditions (eg daylight) prevail, but after the selection process, the device is pushed back into an area in which the shoes are protected on the one hand from light, on the other hand from dust , As a guide for the device, a rail arranged on the floor or on the ceiling can be provided, which also has the rolling elements and / or sliding elements as an alternative. Alternatively, wall-mounted rails may be used in which the frame of the device is mounted rollingly or slidably. If a profile part is used as the frame, it can preferably also have a groove on its side opposite the mesh arrangement, in which suspension and / or sliding and / or rolling elements can be arranged in order to bring them into engagement with a guide rail fixed on the room side ,

For the arrangement of men's shoes and other shoes with low and wide heels structural elements may be provided, which are fastened in the mesh arrangement and provide a support for the leading edge of the heel. In order to fix the shoes held in this way on the structural element, in other words to secure the undercut between heel leading edge and structural element, a pulling device may be provided in the mesh arrangement which, for example, a sling, in particular with a arranged on the back of the mesh arrangement traction means For example, as a mass element ausgestaltet- includes. The pulling device can be designed for a single shoe or several shoes, in particular a pair of shoes, such that with a handle the pulling device can be pulled and / or dabbed by a user at the front of the stitch arrangement and with a second handle a shoe with the Leading edge of his paragraph can be arranged on the structural element. Now, if the traction device is released by the user, the shoe is pulled through the intermediary of the traction means of the pulling device in the direction of the mesh arrangement and slipping of the heel of the structural element is prevented in a simple manner.

Furthermore, the device according to the invention may comprise a second mesh arrangement, which is arranged substantially parallel and at a distance of a few centimeters behind the first, previously discussed mesh arrangement. In other words, the second mesh arrangement can be arranged between the space boundary and the first mesh arrangement, preferably at a distance of approximately 3 to 6 centimeters from the first mesh arrangement. The first and second stitching arrangements are to be arranged and shoes inserted into the apparatus such that the heels in the apparatus arranged on the shoes can rest on a stitch boundary of the first stitch arrangement, while a stitch restriction of the second stitch arrangement depresses the heel. In this way, the device clamps the heel of the shoe between the first and the second stitching arrangement, whereby a higher frictional force is created and unwanted falling out of shoes from the device is even more reliably prevented. In particular, the ground-level area of heels, which is often formed by a replaceable plastic insert, provides a slight opportunity for undercut by mesh limitations of the second mesh arrangement by slight cross-sectional enlargements.

Further advantageously, the device may comprise lighting means for illuminating the shoes and accessories arranged in it. These can either be mounted in the frame or separately in the area of the device at a room boundary. For example, individual LED spots could specifically highlight favorite shoes.

In another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of a substantially vertical stitching arrangement for storing and presenting shoes. The use may take the form of a device discussed above. In particular, flat mesh arrangements for storage and presentation of shoes have been found to be advantageous, but also cylindrical or frusto-conical mesh arrangements are also possible.

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a kit of parts for making a shoe storage and presentation device is provided. The kit includes a substantially vertically aufspannbare mesh arrangement and / or elements for producing a substantially vertical mesh arrangement. This may be, for example, a net, a grid, as well as a framework or other element or other elements. Furthermore, the kit of parts can comprise fastening means for fixing the mesh arrangement in a substantially vertically clamped state in building interiors. In the simplest case, these can be a suitable number of screw hooks. However, the kit of parts may also include spacers, in particular on the attachment means, by means of which the mesh arrangement obtains a predefined distance from the wall to which the device is attached. For example, the spacers which can be screwed in a wall comprise a region projecting from the wall, at the outer end of which a hook element or the like makes it possible to fasten the mesh arrangement. Furthermore, the parts set can have components for creating a frame on which the mesh arrangement can be applied. Here, a rectangular frame shape is only one possible, but not the only conceivable frame shape. In particular, a framework does not necessarily mean a coherent structure. As will be shown in connection with the figures, a large number of design options are also available in connection with several, in particular round, frame elements.

Furthermore, holding elements can be provided in the device or in the parts set, wherein first means allow attachment of the holding element in the mesh arrangement of the device, second means for fastening garments are provided on the holding element itself. In particular, the first and second fastening means may comprise hooks and / or clamping elements to which shoes with improper heels and scarves and other accessories may be placed. Thus, the present invention is not limited in its application to a particular heel shape of women's shoes, but can find almost unlimited use for storing shoes, accessories, garments and other items.

The device according to the invention is of course not on the attachment to fixed (im Meaning of permanent) limited space and can for example be arranged in pieces of furniture. For example, it can also be arranged inside a (clothing) cabinet, or on a mobile partition wall.

Detailed description of individual embodiments

• Fig. 1 shows a device 1 according to the invention with a network as a mesh arrangement 2. The network is fastened by fastening means 4 in front of a wall W while maintaining a predefined distance to this wall. In the stitches 3 of the stitching 2 shoes S are arranged so that their tips point to the ground. For the sake of clarity, different mesh sizes (m ₁ , m ₂ ) are illustrated. Out Fig. 1 It will be apparent how space-saving and flexible the arrangement and presentation of shoes designed by the present invention.
• Fig. 2 shows a detail view of in Fig. 1 frontally illustrated device. From this side view it is clear how the women's shoes L are in mesh with the stitches 3 of the net as a stitch arrangement 2. The heels H of each lady's shoe L penetrate a stitch 3 and thus hold the lady's shoe L in its position. So that the heel H of the lady's shoe L can safely project through the stitch arrangement 2, the stitch arrangement 2 is arranged at a distance a from the wall W. As a minimum distance about 10cm have proven in tests. The women's shoes L are usually shaped so that a secure hold is ensured even without further precautions.
• Fig. 3 shows how in a device according to the invention the mesh arrangement 2 is fixed at a predefined distance a from the wall W. For this purpose, the mesh arrangement 2 is fastened in hook elements 8a of a respective spacer 8. The spacers 8 are screwed into the wall W by means of screws 9. Support sections 10a, 10b on the spacers ensure that the tensile forces introduced by the network can be removed into the wall.
• Fig. 3a shows an in Figure 3 used spacers 8 with support portions 10 a, b and a screw 9. The support portions 10 a, b may preferably in the direction of the mesh arrangement (as in Fig. 3 shown) are arranged.
• Fig. 3b shows a side view of the in Fig. 3a presented fastener 4. This side view shows a possible embodiment of the hook element 8a of in Fig. 3 shown fastener.
• Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a section of a device according to the invention with a frame 7. The frame 7 carries on its outer side at regular intervals grooves 16, in which a net meshes as a loop arrangement 2 leash 17 engages. Thus, the mesh assembly 2 is held over the circumferential line 17 in the grooves 16 of the frame 7 and can be stretched (up). This can be done, for example, already during construction of the frame 7 in that the grooves 16 of the frame 7 are first brought into engagement with the line 17, and only then the parts of the frame 7 are pushed from the center of the mesh assembly 2 forth to the outside ultimately to be connected. In the mesh arrangement 2, a lady's shoe L and several accessories X can be seen, wherein an accessory X can be, for example, a cloth, a belt, a chain, a fascinator or the like.
• Fig. 5 shows a mesh arrangement 2 consisting of a first arrangement 5 and a second arrangement 6. The two arrangements each consist of a plurality of structures (5a, 5b, ... 6a, 6b, ...), wherein in each case a first structure 5a first arrangement 5 and a second structure 5b of the first arrangement 5 with a first structure 6a of the second arrangement 6 and a second structure 6b of the second arrangement 6 form a mesh 3. The first arrangement 5 and the second arrangement 6 are arranged one behind the other twisted against each other. Outside fortified buildings such arrangements are known as trellis for vine plants as well as for example in hunting fences as property boundaries.
• Fig. 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the present invention. Here, the frame 7 consists of two frame elements 7a, 7b. Both the upper frame member 7a and the lower frame member 7b are made of annular structures. Between them, a mesh arrangement 2 is tensioned, which forms the lateral surface of a truncated cone in that, compared to the upper frame element 7a, the lower frame element 7b has a larger radius. This results in a slightly oblique mesh arrangement 2, whereby the seat of the shoes in the stitch assembly 2 is even safer. As a presentation device in particular commercial sales rooms, the in Fig. 6 However, despite the increased space required, the device shown allows an impressive presentation of clothing. The mesh arrangement of such a device is to be understood in the context of the present invention as substantially planar and substantially perpendicular.
• Fig. 7 shows an alternative embodiment according to the present invention, wherein the frame elements 7a and 7b opposite to in Fig. 6 have shown arrangement approximately similar radii. As a result, the mesh arrangement 2 assumes substantially the shape of a cylinder jacket surface. About a mounted on the upper frame member 7a suspension 18, the device 1 is attached to the ceiling D. In order to achieve a bias of the mesh arrangement 2, on the one hand, the lower frame element 7b can now be secured and prestressed by means of a further suspension on the ground, alternatively, a bulky lower frame element 7b can be used. This always biases the mesh 2 due to gravity with a constant force against the upper frame member 7a. In addition, such an arrangement has the advantage that the floor cleaning of the sales room is particularly simple, since the device does not even touch the ground. For particularly effective presentation, the suspension 18 via a pivot bearing, so that the device can be slowly (eg motor) rotated.
• Fig. 8 shows an embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention comprising a frame 7, on which rolling elements 12b and sliding elements 12a are provided. These are each arranged on the horizontal frame elements 7a, 7b. By means of the sliding elements 12a and the rolling elements 12b, the frame 7 of the device 1 can be comfortably moved back and forth in a rail 13 attached to the floor. For example, space behind a cabinet or other hard to reach area of a room can be used by placing the device 1 in such a location and pulling it out of it as needed. Thus, the selection process of shoes and / or accessories can also be performed on an area of the room at which favorable lighting conditions prevail, although a permanent whereabouts, for example in a passage area, in front of a door or a window would be out of the question. The frame elements 7a and 7b furthermore have lighting means 14, which are set up to illuminate objects arranged in the device 1 as required.
• Fig. 9 shows an alternative embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention, which is characterized by the fact that they are about Schamierelemente 11 which are fastened by screws 9 on the ceiling D from a substantially vertical position in a substantially horizontal position parallel to the ceiling D along the drawn Double arrow can be swiveled. In this case, a spacer 8 ensures that the shoes L do not collide with the ceiling D even in the folded state. The frame 7 ensures that the mesh assembly 2 receives an adequate bias. The pivoting process can be initiated, for example by means of a cable and / or motor.
• Fig. 10 shows a vertical mesh assembly 2 of a device 1 according to the present invention, in which also shoes without high heels are arranged. For this purpose, holding means 15 are provided as holding elements which mediate between the stitch arrangement 2 and the shoes S or a sandal F. In this way, even footwear and accessories can be without high heels are arranged in the device according to the invention.
• Fig. 10a Fig. 11 shows a detailed view of a possible holding means 15. Essentially, the holding means 15 has the shape of a squat "S" whose lower portion as the second holding portion 15b is engaged with a shoe S as shown by the arrows. Its upper part is engaged as a first holding portion 15 a with a mesh 3 of the stitch assembly 2 in engagement. In order to ensure a particularly reliable hold in the loop 3, a barb 15c may be provided in the first holding section 15a. Of course, the holding portions 15a, 15b may also be made elastic and / or comprise additional clamping elements such as staples.
• Fig. 11 shows a tube 20, which may be made of plastic and / or metal, for example. In particular, the tube may be made of aluminum, stainless steel or a precious metal or finished with such a superficial. On its underside, the tube 20 is provided along its entire length with a groove 21 parallel to its longitudinal axis. The groove is dimensioned so that a mesh arrangement 2, as it can be used in the context of the present invention, can be inserted laterally. For this purpose, the mesh arrangement 2 can have an edge with a reinforced cross section, in the case of a net, for example, in the manner of a seam 40 in the form of a so-called "knitting" or a welt. The cross-sectional reinforced edge portion or seam 40 may have some elasticity for threading into the groove 21, or may have a constriction of reduced cross-section at a portion of the edge to be engaged with the groove of the tube 20. In this way, the tube 20 can be used as the upper frame member 7a and / or as the lower frame member 7b to hold the mesh assembly 2 in position and preferably under tension.
• Fig. 12 shows the tube 20 from Fig. 11 and a stitch arrangement 2, through the uppermost row of stitches a guide body 19 is guided. As a guide body 19 while doing any limited compressible longitudinal body in question, which can still be introduced into the front end of the tube 20 when they have been threaded into the stitch assembly 2. In other words, the tube 20 has a free cross-section whose diameter measures at least the diameter of the guide body 19 and, in addition, twice the diameter of a web (mesh) of the mesh assembly 2 (compressed if necessary). The guide body 19 penetrates as shown adjacent meshes 3 mutually from the front of the mesh assembly 2 and from the back of the mesh assembly 2. The guide body 19 can thus be brought to the mesh assembly 2 with the tube 20 in engagement that the mesh assembly 2, the guide body 19th for example, a rod made of plastic, may include metal, cardboard or paper or a braid or fabric, on the one hand surrounds and on the other hand, the mesh assembly 2 through the groove 21 of the tube 20, the lateral surface of the tube 20 can prevail. Since the guide body 19 is designed in such a way that it can not pass the groove 21 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the profile part, even under tension on the mesh arrangement 2, the upper edge of the mesh arrangement 2 is fixed in the guide body 19. The tube 20 may be held by brackets 22 that resemble curtain rod mounts. The brackets 22 may for receiving the tube 20 tube shell sections (for example, quarter or half pipe section) having an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the tube 20, the tube shell portion of the upper bracket 22 upwards and the tube shell portion of the lower bracket 22 downwardly opened is. The brackets 22 may be designed to be elastic, so that with appropriate wall mounting a tensile stress on the mesh assembly 2 can be generated. In addition, lamps, in particular in the form of LED strips, can be attached directly or indirectly to the tubes 20 and / or to the holders 22.
• Fig. 12a shows an alternative embodiment of an in Fig. 12 shown bracket 22 or a in the FIGS. 3, 3a or 3b illustrated fastening means 4. This has a portion which serves as a spacer 8. In the hook elements 8 a can either in the FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrated tube 20 or a seam of a mesh arrangement 2 are introduced. A carriage 10 has a cavity 100 which has an opening and undercut elements 101 on its underside. In a spacer 8 facing the end of the carriage 10, a thread 102 is provided, which corresponds to a grub screw 9a. Next shows the Fig. 12a a pedestal 103 for wall mounting. It has a T-profile whose undercut elements 104 (lower sides of the crossbar of the "T") correspond to the undercut elements 101 of the carriage 100. A stop 105 on an end face of the base 103 corresponds to the grub screw 9a, which is removed when screwing the grub screw 9a into the thread 102 of the carriage 10 of this relative to the base 103. In the Fig. 12a The arrangement shown can therefore be used as a holding element 22 or fastening means 4 with spacers 8 and integrated clamping means.

One in the FIGS. 13, 14 and 15 shown frame variant consists of profile parts 20, which are designed as guide rails. In other words, the profile parts 20 -as in connection with the FIGS. 11 and 12 executed at least one slot as a groove 21 along a longitudinal side. Two pairs of parallel guide rails can be cut at the corners, which can be cut to a 45 ° miter, in particular for a right-angled arrangement, are fixed together by connectors 23, the first end 24 is inserted into a front-side first cavity of a first profile part 20 and the second end 24 is inserted into a front-side second cavity of an adjacent second profile part 20. Between the first and the second end 24 of the connector 23, this has a holding portion 25 to which a mesh arrangement 2 can be attached. In particular, on the holding portion 25, a clamping means may be arranged, for example in the manner of a turnbuckle 30 with clamping screws 31, by means of which the stitch assembly 2 can be stretched in the frame defined by the profile parts 20. Such an arrangement is in each case for the four corners of the mesh arrangement 2 in FIG Fig. 15 shown. In this way, the connectors 23 are pressed into the frontal cavities of the profile parts 20, which is why a screwing of the ends can be omitted. Of course, further holding devices can be arranged in the grooves 21 of the profile parts 20, in particular displaceably, in order to also fix and / or clamp side areas of the mesh arrangement 2. Such a holder of the mesh arrangement 2 can, as in Fig. 14 represented, of course, be combined with an introduction of a Kettelung the mesh assembly 2 in the grooves 21 of the profile parts 20. In this way, the profile parts 20 deforming forces and moments can be distributed in a suitable manner.

Fig. 16 shows a detailed view of a structural element 27 which is hooked into a mesh arrangement 2. At an upper portion of the structural member 27 is disposed a horizontal portion 29 for supporting a front flank of a heel of a men's shoe. The mesh assembly 20 opposite side is provided a vertically protruding from the plane of the horizontal portion 29 edge 29a, which causes an improved frictional engagement, depending on the geometry of a positive connection with the heel of the men's shoe. A cable loop as a pulling device 26 is guided from the front side of the stitch assembly 2 by two adjacent stitches 3, so that the ends of the rope hang down at the back of the stitch assembly 2. For improved engagement with the openings on the structural member 27 arranged shoes a sleeve 28 are mounted on the loop for each shoe. The sleeves 28 ensure an improved fit with the shoes.

Fig. 17 shows a side view of a structural element 27 with a arranged on this, fixed by a pulling device 26 shoe. At the rear ends of the loop of the pulling device 26, a mass element m is provided as a tension element, via which a tensile force is exerted on the shoe for securing the same.

Fig. 18 shows a side view of an arrangement of a less suitable ladies shoe L in a device 1 according to the invention, in which the ladies shoe L is secured by means of a pulling device 26 against a release of the engagement of his heel H with a stitch 3 of the stitch assembly 2, without a structural element 27 would be required.

The invention is based on the finding that a predominant percentage of women's shoes have proportions in shape and mass distribution, which at least allows very reliable and fast hooking such shoes with their heel in a mesh arrangement, if the sole of the shoe at least not substantially the (imaginary ) "Breaks through" the solder through the point of contact between the stitch arrangement and the heel of the shoe (see also Fig. 2 ). As a result, take the most high heels of women's shoes after insertion into a device according to the invention a position in which the bottom of the paragraph in use case (lower) portion of the paragraph opposite the foot near the area of use paragraph is arranged at least slightly deeper, so that an unwanted slipping out the heel from the stitching is effectively prevented.

The core idea of the present invention is to combine a large quantity of shoes, especially high-heeled women's shoes, in a most compact constellation such that the tops of the shoes can be arranged close to one another and thus examined and selected. Since a very large amount of space would be the result of an arrangement on the floor, the invention proposes to store the shoes substantially vertically one above the other, while maintaining the above relative arrangement of the shoes to each other while the high heels of the shoes to anchor the shoes in to use the device. The invention therefore proposes a stitch arrangement, wherein the apparatus is set up, preferably to produce a minimum predefined distance of the stitch arrangement from a space boundary, before which it can be arranged. Thus, also in the stitching with their high heels hinged women's shoes can find a safe, elegant and extremely easy to produce hold. The predefined distance may be at least 2 cm, but preferably between about 8 cm and 15 cm, most preferably 10 cm.

While the foregoing embodiments illustrate only particular aspects of the present invention, it will be understood that the features shown may be readily combined with each other without departing from the scope of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims.
