Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shelf system for placing a shelf divider transversely of a longitudinal direction of a shelf.
  • a shelf system as defined in the preamble of claim 1 is already known from WO 2009/151381 A1 .
  • the known shelf system comprises a first elongate coupling element, which first coupling element can be mounted on a front side of the shelf substantially parallel to a longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the known shelf system further comprises a second elongate coupling element, which second coupling element can be mounted on a rear side of the shelf substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the known shelf system is further provided with a shelf divider comprising a first coupling part and a second coupling part, wherein the first and second coupling part are configured to be coupled to respectively the first and second coupling element when the shelf divider is placed.
  • the known shelf system makes use of a second coupling element which comprises a friction rail.
  • the second coupling part of the shelf divider is provided here with a hook which can engage in a recess formed in the second coupling element.
  • the first coupling element comprises a T-shaped profile which can co-act with the first coupling part for the purpose of forming a snap connection.
  • the shelf divider can be placed by having the hook of the second coupling part engage in the recess.
  • the first coupling part can then be coupled to the first coupling element.
  • the shelf divider is fixed in transverse direction by both the coupling of the first coupling element and the first coupling part, and the engagement of the hook in the recess.
  • the shelf divider is fixed in the longitudinal direction by the friction rail, which exerts a friction force on the second coupling part.
  • the friction rail is manufactured from an elastic material which is different from the material from which the remaining part of the second coupling element is manufactured.
  • a drawback of the known shelf system is related to the manufacturing costs of the second coupling element. This is because this requires two types of material, which are usually connected to each other by means of a co-extrusion technique.
  • the second coupling element comprises a base plate for placing on a surface of the shelf and a positioner extending from the base plate.
  • the second coupling element further comprises a clamping wall extending obliquely from the base plate and directed toward the front side of the shelf after placing of the shelf divider, and a recessed portion formed in the base plate and placed between the positioner and the clamping wall.
  • the shelf system is further characterized in that the second coupling part comprises a downward sloping end and a downward directed protrusion, wherein the protrusion engages in the recessed portion after placing of the shelf divider for the purpose of fixing the shelf divider in the transverse direction of the shelf and wherein the downward sloping end is clamped between the clamping wall and the base plate for the purpose of fixing the shelf divider in the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the operation of the shelf system according to the invention can be described as follows.
  • the first and second coupling elements are first of all arranged on a shelf in a longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the first coupling element is here arranged on a front side of the shelf and the second coupling element on a rear side.
  • the coupling means are for instance chosen from the group consisting of magnetic strip, double-sided tape, screws, caps, glue.
  • a shelf divider can be placed after the first and second coupling elements have been mounted.
  • the user will here grasp the shelf divider by the front side, close to the first coupling part, and place the shelf divider into the shelf in transverse direction.
  • the user will preferably move the end of the shelf divider over the shelf surface such that the downward sloping end comes into contact with the positioner. If the positioner makes contact with the end of the shelf divider this is noticeable to the user.
  • the user then moves the shelf divider over the positioner, whereby the protrusion of the second coupling part comes into engagement with the recessed portion in the base plate.
  • the downward sloping end is substantially simultaneously also clamped between the clamping wall and the base plate.
  • the user will then move the shelf divider downward on the front side, whereby the first coupling element is coupled to the first coupling part.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that it is not necessary, or hardly so, for the user to place an arm into the shelf in order to place the shelf divider. This is because only a forward movement is necessary.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that the shelf divider can be held relatively horizontally when it is placed. This is advantageous if the shelf height is low and/or the shelf is deep.
  • the user first has to release the front side of the shelf divider.
  • the first coupling element and the first coupling part are hereby disconnected.
  • the protrusion is moved out of the recessed portion substantially simultaneously, whereby the shelf divider is no longer fixed in transverse direction.
  • the shelf divider is then moved rearward, whereby the downward sloping end of the shelf divider is removed from the clamping between clamping wall and base plate and whereby the shelf divider can be removed from the shelf.
  • the combination of protrusion, recessed portion, clamping wall and downward sloping end provides a solution wherein the second coupling element can be manufactured from one and the same material without concessions being made in respect of fixing the shelf divider in transverse direction and longitudinal direction.
  • An angle formed by the clamping wall with the base plate is preferably smaller than the angle at which the end of the second coupling part slopes downward.
  • the clamping wall and/or the downward sloping end will hereby have to bend slightly when the shelf divider is placed, whereby a good clamping is obtained. It is further recommended for the downward sloping end and the clamping wall and base plate to be shaped in substantially form-fitting manner.
  • the positioner can be embodied as a wall sloping upward as seen from the first coupling part and/or wherein the positioner forms a stop for the protrusion as seen from the end of the second coupling part.
  • the latter measure is a specific example of the general principle that the protrusion cannot be move rearward in simple manner but that the shelf divider has first to be brought upward in order to get the protrusion out of the engagement with the recessed portion.
  • the protrusion and the recessed portion can further form a barb construction. It is not precluded here that the protrusion comprises some resilience so as to shoot into engagement and/or come out of engagement with the recessed portion in the base plate.
  • the end of the second coupling part preferably comprises a first edge, which rests at least partially on the shelf surface after placing of the shelf divider, and a second edge which slopes downward, wherein the first edge slopes upward in the direction of the second edge close to the end of the second coupling part.
  • a shape facilitates movement of the shelf divider over the shelf surface and provides for a more gradual transition during contact between end and positioner.
  • the second coupling element can be provided with a strengthening rib on an upper side of the clamping wall. This rib runs in the longitudinal direction on the upper side of the clamping wall. The stiffness is increased and the clamping force of the clamping wall is improved by the rib.
  • the second coupling part a thickened form.
  • a thickened portion in the longitudinal direction of the shelf provides for an effectively greater contact surface between the second coupling part and the clamping wall.
  • the shelf divider comprises a main section with the first coupling part and a plurality of substantially identical sections which are separated from each other by a break line, wherein each section comprises an individual second coupling part.
  • Shelves generally have standard dimensions. One shelf divider can be made suitable for different shelf depths by choosing suitable positions of the break lines. If a shelf has a smaller shelf depth the user breaks off one or more sections, whereby the length of the shelf divider can be adjusted.
  • the shelf divider can be manufactured from injection-moulded Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and the first and/or second coupling element can be manufactured from extruded Polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • PVC Polyvinyl Chloride
  • PET Polyethylene terephthalate
  • first coupling element and the second coupling element In order to enable effective extrusion of the first and second coupling element it is recommended for the first coupling element and the second coupling element to have a constant cross-section in the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic overview of a shelf system according to the present invention.
  • the system comprises a first coupling element 1, a second coupling element 2 and a shelf divider 3 which comprises a first coupling part 4 and second coupling part 5.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-section of first coupling element 1 and first coupling part 4, which are already known from the prior art.
  • First coupling element 1 here comprises a protruding foot 6 around which a thickened profile 7 of first coupling part 4 can engage for the purpose of forming a snap connection.
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-section of second coupling element 2 and second coupling part 5 according to the present invention.
  • Second coupling part 5 has a downward sloping end 8 which is clamped between a clamping wall 9 and base plate 10 of second coupling element 2 after placing of shelf divider 3.
  • Second coupling part 5 further comprises a protrusion 11 which engages in a recessed portion 12 in base plate 10 after placing of shelf divider 3.
  • Second coupling element 2 further comprises a positioner 13 which extends upward. Positioner 13 forms a stop for protrusion 11 in the case that shelf divider 3 is moved rearward.
  • Downward sloping end 8 has an edge 14 on the underside which slopes upward gently. It hereby becomes easier to place shelf divider 3 because movement of shelf divider 3 over positioner 13 will take place more smoothly.
  • Second coupling part 5 comprises a thickened part 15 which forms end 8 and protrusion 11.
  • Second coupling element 2 further comprises a protrusion 16 which provides for a horizontal placing.
  • Protrusion 11 is placed obliquely to the rear and recessed portion 12 is shaped correspondingly.
  • a barb construction is hereby as it were obtained.
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic view of a shelf divider 3 according to the present invention.
  • Shelf divider 3 comprises a main section 17 with first coupling part 4 and a plurality of substantially identical sections 18 which are separated from each other by a break line 19, wherein each section comprises an individual second coupling part 5.
  • Shelf divider 3 can be adjusted to the depth of the shelf by means of breaking off a suitable length.
