Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein variables Regal umfassend mindestens zwei quaderförmige Regalkästen, aufweisend einen Regalboden, einen Regaldeckel und zwei senkrecht zu Boden und Deckel angeordnete Seitenwände, wobei die Regalkästen vertikal aufeinander gestapelt sind.The invention relates to a variable shelf comprising at least two rectangular shelf boxes, comprising a shelf, a shelf lid and two side walls arranged perpendicular to the floor and lid, the shelf boxes being stacked vertically on one another.

Regale werden in verschiedenen Variationen zur Präsentation von Waren genutzt. Die Regale müssen stabil sein und sollen eine möglichst ansprechende Zurschaustellung der im Regal befindlichen Objekte erlauben. Für Aktionsware werden dabei auch bereits mit der Ware bestückte Regale, beispielsweise aus Pappe, Wellpappe oder Kunststoff verwendet. Diese haben den Vorteil, dass sie kostengünstig herstellbar sind, an die Form und Art der Ware anpassbar sind und aufgrund ihres geringen Gewichtes leicht zum Verkaufsort bzw. zum Präsentationsort transportiert werden können. Bedingt durch den Transport sind die Regale jedoch häufig nur in Standardformen verfügbar, um den Transport zu erleichtern. Zudem sind viele Regale nur von einer Seite zugänglich und müssen deshalb am Verkaufsort an der Wand platziert werden.Shelves are used in various variations for the presentation of goods. The shelves must be stable and should allow the objects on the shelf to be displayed as attractively as possible. For promotional goods, shelves that are already equipped with the goods, for example made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or plastic, are also used. These have the advantage that they can be produced inexpensively, can be adapted to the shape and type of the goods and, due to their low weight, can be easily transported to the point of sale or the place of presentation. Due to the transport, however, the shelves are often only available in standard forms to facilitate transport. In addition, many shelves are only accessible from one side and must therefore be placed on the wall at the point of sale.

Aus der DE 10 2013 001 415 A1 ist ein Regal aus Pappe oder Wellpappe bekannt, dass eine Vielzahl von Regalböden aufweist, die von vier Seiten zugänglich sind. Das Regal weist bei geringem Materialeinsatz eine gute Zugänglichkeit auf. Allerdings muss es nach dem Transport erst zusammengebaut werden und hat dann eine festgelegte Form.From the DE 10 2013 001 415 A1 a cardboard or corrugated cardboard shelf is known that has a plurality of shelves that are accessible from four sides. The shelf has good accessibility with little use of material. However, it has to be assembled after transport and then has a defined shape.

Die DE 20 2010 001850 U1 beschreibt ein Pappmöbel mit Regalböden, bei dem die Regalböden an den Träger angeklappt werden können. Hierdurch ist ein platzsparender Transport möglich. Das Regal weist jedoch eine klassische Rückwand auf, so dass die Waren nur von einer Seite zugänglich sind.The DE 20 2010 001850 U1 describes a cardboard furniture with shelves, in which the shelves can be folded to the carrier. This enables space-saving transport. However, the shelf has a classic rear wall, so that the goods are only accessible from one side.

Die FR 2172478 offenbart ein Regaldisplay, welches aus mehreren übereinander gestapelten Regalkästen besteht. Die Orientierung der Regalkästen ist beim Aufbau frei wählbar. Zusammengesetzt lassen sich alle Regalkästen aber nur als Einheit drehen. In der DE 19502726 ist ein Möbelstück offenbart, bei dem die Regalkästen mit entsprechenden Bohrungen versehen sind, um sie mittels einer Stange zusammenzusetzen. Das Möbelstück ist massiv und stabil, da es als Ständer für eine Garderobe oder einen Sonnenschirm fungieren kann.The FR 2172478 discloses a shelf display, which consists of several stacked shelves. The orientation of the shelf boxes is freely selectable during assembly. Assembled, all shelf boxes can only be rotated as a unit. In the DE 19502726 a piece of furniture is disclosed in which the shelf boxes are provided with corresponding holes in order to assemble them by means of a rod. The piece of furniture is solid and stable since it can act as a stand for a wardrobe or a parasol.

This enables better access for the customer when presenting goods.

Die Öffnung im Regalboden bzw. im Regaldeckel ist, wenn sie als mittige Öffnung ausgeführt ist, bevorzugt mittig im Kreuzungspunkt der Flächendiagonalen des Regalbodens oder des Regaldeckels angeordnet. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Öffnung exzentrisch angeordnet. Wenn die exzentrische Öffnung nahe einer der Ecken angeordnet ist, sind die Regalkästen fächerförmig aufschwenkbar. Bevorzugt ist die Öffnung kreisrund, rechteckig, vieleckig oder oval ausgestaltet, besonders bevorzugt kreisrund. Die Öffnung ist aus dem Regalboden bzw. dem Regaldeckel bevorzugt ausgestanzt oder ausgeschnitten.If it is designed as a central opening, the opening in the shelf or in the shelf lid is preferably arranged centrally in the intersection of the diagonals of the shelf or shelf lid. In a further embodiment, the opening is arranged eccentrically. If the eccentric opening is arranged near one of the corners, the shelf boxes can be swung open in a fan shape. The opening is preferably circular, rectangular, polygonal or oval, particularly preferably circular. The opening is preferably punched out or cut out of the shelf or shelf lid.

Das stabförmige Verbindungselement wird durch die Öffnungen der Regalkästen geführt. Dabei kommt jeweils der Regalboden eines ersten Regalkasten auf dem Regaldeckel eines zweiten Regalkasten zu liegen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird das stabförmige Verbindungselement jeweils sowohl durch die Öffnung im Regalboden als auch durch die Öffnung im Regaldeckel geführt. Bei der Verbindung von zwei Regalkästen ist das stabförmige Verbindungselement entsprechend dann durch vier Öffnungen geführt. Die quaderförmigen Regalkästen sind um das stabförmige Verbindungselement drehbar, wobei eine Drehung um 360° möglich ist. Das Verbindungselement ist vertikal angeordnet und bildet den Drehpunkt, um den die Regalkästen variabel verdreht werden können.The rod-shaped connecting element is guided through the openings in the shelf boxes. The shelf of a first shelf box comes to rest on the shelf cover of a second shelf box. In a preferred embodiment, the rod-shaped connecting element is guided both through the opening in the shelf and through the opening in the shelf cover. When connecting two shelf boxes, the rod-shaped connecting element is then guided through four openings accordingly. The rectangular shelf boxes can be rotated around the rod-shaped connecting element, a rotation of 360 ° being possible. The connecting element is arranged vertically and forms the fulcrum around which the shelf boxes can be rotated variably.

Das stabförmige Verbindungselement ist bevorzugt ein Rohr, eine Stange oder ein Stab, bevorzugt mit einem kreisförmigen Querschnitt. Besonders bevorzugt ist das stabförmige Verbindungselement ein Papprohr. Es ist auch möglich ein Vierkantelement oder einen Stab mit z.B. sternförmigem Querschnitt zu verwenden, was erfindungsgemäß weniger bevorzugt ist. Der Durchmesser des stabförmigen Verbindungselements hängt von der Größe des Regals ab. Bevorzugt weist das Papprohr mindestens einen Durchmesser größer 10mm auf. Bei einem Regal mit einer Grundfläche von 60mm x 400 mm weist das Papprohr beispielsweise einen Durchmesser von 50 mm auf.The rod-shaped connecting element is preferably a tube, a rod or a rod, preferably with a circular cross section. The rod-shaped connecting element is particularly preferably a cardboard tube. It is also possible to use a square element or a rod with e.g. to use a star-shaped cross section, which is less preferred according to the invention. The diameter of the rod-shaped connecting element depends on the size of the shelf. The cardboard tube preferably has at least a diameter greater than 10 mm. In the case of a shelf with a base area of 60 mm x 400 mm, the cardboard tube has a diameter of 50 mm, for example.

Die quaderförmigen Regalkästen des erfindungsgemäßen Regals bestehen aus Wellpappe, Pappe, Papier, Karton. Bevorzugt bestehen die quaderförmigen Regalkästen des erfindungsgemäßen Regals aus Wellpappe. Das Regal kann auf herkömmliche Art und Weise bedruckt, gefärbt oder beklebt sein.The rectangular shelf boxes of the shelf according to the invention consist of corrugated cardboard, cardboard, paper, cardboard. The cuboid preferably exist Shelf boxes of the shelf according to the invention made of corrugated cardboard. The shelf can be printed, colored or glued in a conventional manner.

Das erfindungsgemäße Regal weist bevorzugt zwei bis sechs, besonders bevorzugt 3 bis 5 oder 3 bis 6 oder 2 bis 5, weiter bevorzugt vier miteinander verbundene quaderförmigen Regalkästen auf.The shelf according to the invention preferably has two to six, particularly preferably 3 to 5 or 3 to 6 or 2 to 5, further preferably four rectangular shelf boxes connected to one another.

In einer Ausführungsform weisen die quaderförmigen Regalkästen zusätzlich je mindestens eine Zwischenwand auf. Die Zwischenwand ist senkrecht zum Regalboden bzw. senkrecht zum Regaldeckel angeordnet und verläuft zwischen den zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden. Die Zwischenwand wird insbesondere verwendet, wenn im Regal schwerere Waren gelagert werden sollen. Durch die Zwischenwände wird die Stabilität der Regalkästen erhöht. Bevorzugt weisen die quaderförmigen Regalkästen je zwei zueinander parallele Zwischenwände auf, wobei besonders bevorzugt zwischen den Zwischenwänden ein Hohlraum gebildet ist, in dem das stabförmige Verbindungselement geführt wird. Dieses hat den Vorteil, dass das stabförmige Verbindungselement von außen nicht zu sehen ist und eine ansprechende Optik des Regals gegeben ist. Das stabförmige Verbindungselement ist so auch vor Beschädigungen durch die im Regal befindliche Ware geschützt. Zudem erhöht sich bei der Verwendung von zwei parallel zueinander angeordneten Zwischenwänden die Stabilität des Regalkastens deutlich.In one embodiment, the cuboid shelf boxes additionally each have at least one partition. The intermediate wall is arranged perpendicular to the shelf or perpendicular to the shelf cover and runs between the two opposite side walls. The partition is used in particular when heavier goods are to be stored on the shelf. The stability of the shelf boxes is increased by the partition walls. The cuboid-shaped shelf boxes preferably each have two mutually parallel partition walls, a cavity being particularly preferably formed between the partition walls in which the rod-shaped connecting element is guided. This has the advantage that the rod-shaped connecting element cannot be seen from the outside and the shelf has an appealing look. The rod-shaped connecting element is also protected against damage from the goods on the shelf. In addition, the stability of the shelf box increases significantly when two partition walls arranged parallel to one another are used.

Der Regalkasten kann in einer Ausführungsform zusätzlich Trennwände aufweisen, die das Innere des Kastens in mehrere Fächer aufteilen. Die Trennwände sind beispielsweise parallel zu den Seitenwänden angeordnet und verlaufen vom Regalboden zum Regaldeckel. Weiterhin kann der Regalkasten eine Blende aufweisen, die beispielsweise als Krempelrand ausgeführt ist. Die Blende ist an der Vorderseite des Regalbodens angeordnet und verhindert, dass im Regalfach befindliche Waren nach vorne aus dem Regal fallen können. Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Regal kann eine Blende auch an beiden offenen Seiten des Regalbodens senkrecht zu den Seitenwänden angeordnet sein.In one embodiment, the shelf box can additionally have dividing walls which divide the inside of the box into several compartments. The partitions are arranged, for example, parallel to the side walls and run from the shelf to the shelf cover. Furthermore, the shelf box can have a panel which is designed, for example, as a card edge. The cover is located on the front of the shelf and prevents goods in the shelf from falling forward out of the shelf. In the shelf according to the invention, a panel can also be arranged perpendicular to the side walls on both open sides of the shelf.

Der Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Regals ist, dass die quaderförmigen Regalkästen in beliebiger Weise zueinander verdreht angeordnet werden können. Im Ausgangszustand sind alle Regalkästen gerade in eine Richtung gedreht, um einen sicheren und sparsamen Versand zu gewährleisten. Die Regalkästen befinden sich dann in einer Flucht und das Regal ist optisch nicht von einem herkömmlichen quaderförmigen Regal zu unterscheiden. Bevorzugt können die Regalkästen durch eine Versandsicherung, beispielsweise in Form einer Versandhaube oder eines zweiten stabförmige Verbindungselemente, dass durch eine zweite Öffnung geschoben wird, gegen ein Verdrehen gesichert werden. Am Einsatzort, zum Beispiel am Verkaufsort, wird die Versandsicherung entfernt und die Regalkästen können in alle Richtungen gedreht werden. Das ermöglicht dem Endverbraucher eine 360° Sicht auf das Regal und verleiht dem Regal eine ungewöhnliche und ansprechende Optik. In einer Variation sind die Regalkästen um 90° zueinander verdreht, so dass eine Stapeloptik entsteht. In einer weiteren Variation sind die Regalkästen abwechselnd um jeweils 45° zueinander verdreht, so dass bei vier gestapelten Regalkästen der unterste und der oberste Regalkasten kongruent zueinander sind.The advantage of the shelf according to the invention is that the rectangular shelf boxes can be arranged rotated relative to one another in any way. In the initial state, all shelf boxes are turned straight in one direction to ensure safe and economical shipping. The shelf boxes are then in alignment and the shelf is visually indistinguishable from a conventional rectangular shelf. The shelf boxes can preferably be secured against rotation by a shipping lock, for example in the form of a shipping hood or a second rod-shaped connecting element that is pushed through a second opening. At the place of use, for example at the point of sale, the shipping security is removed and the shelf boxes can be rotated in all directions. This gives the end user a 360 ° view of the shelf and gives the shelf an unusual and appealing look. In a variation, the shelf boxes are rotated by 90 ° to one another, so that a stacked look is created. In a further variation, the shelf boxes are rotated alternately by 45 ° to one another, so that in the case of four stacked shelf boxes, the bottom and top shelf boxes are congruent to one another.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen variablen Regals 1. Das Regal 1 weist vier quaderförmige Regalkästen 2 auf, die kongruent zueinander in einer Flucht angeordnet sind. Es ist erkennbar, dass der oberste Regalkasten 2 im Regaldeckel 4 eine Öffnung 7 aufweist, die zur Aufnahme des stabförmige Verbindungselements 8 dient. Die Regalkästen weisen jeweils Zwischenwände 9 und dazu senkrechte Trennwände 11 auf. Nach vorne werden die Regalkästen durch eine Blende 12 begrenzt. Es ist erkennbar, dass der Regaldeckel 4 mit der Seitenwand 6 über eine Lasche 13 verbunden ist. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the variable shelf 1 according to the invention. The shelf 1 has four rectangular shelf boxes 2, which are congruently arranged in alignment with one another. It can be seen that the uppermost shelf box 2 in the shelf cover 4 has an opening 7 for receiving the rod-shaped connecting element 8 serves. The shelf boxes each have partitions 9 and partitions 11 perpendicular thereto. The shelf boxes are delimited at the front by a panel 12. It can be seen that the shelf cover 4 is connected to the side wall 6 via a tab 13.

Aus Figur 2 ist erkennbar, dass der quaderförmige Regalkasten 2 im Regalboden 3 eine Öffnung 7b und im Regaldeckel 4 eine Öffnung 7a aufweist. Der Regalkasten 2 hat 2 Zwischenwände 9a und 9b, die parallel zueinander verlaufen. Die Zwischenwände 9a und 9b bilden einen Hohlraum 10, indem die Öffnungen 7a und 7b angeordnet sind. Der Hohlraum 10 dient dazu, dass das stabförmige Verbindungselement 8 (nicht dargestellt) durch den Regalkasten geführt werden kann, ohne von außen sichtbar zu sein. Zusätzlich erhöhen die Zwischenwände 9a und 9b die Stabilität des quaderförmigen Regalkasten 2.Out Figure 2 it can be seen that the rectangular shelf box 2 has an opening 7b in the shelf 3 and an opening 7a in the shelf cover 4. The shelf box 2 has 2 partitions 9a and 9b which run parallel to one another. The intermediate walls 9a and 9b form a cavity 10 in which the openings 7a and 7b are arranged. The cavity 10 is used so that the rod-shaped connecting element 8 (not shown) can be guided through the shelf box without being visible from the outside. In addition, the partition walls 9a and 9b increase the stability of the rectangular shelf box 2.

Figur 3 zeigt den quaderförmigen Regalkasten 2 aus Figur 2 von der Unterseite. Im Regalboden 3 sind Nasen 14 erkennbar, mit denen der unterste Kasten an einer Palette oder einem anderen Unterteil befestigt werden kann. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind die Nasen 14 kreuzförmig um die Öffnung 7 angeordnet. Figure 3 shows the rectangular shelf box 2 Figure 2 from the bottom. In the shelf 3 lugs 14 can be seen, with which the bottom box can be attached to a pallet or other lower part. In the embodiment shown, the lugs 14 are arranged in a cross shape around the opening 7.

In Figur 4 ist das variable Regal aus Figur 1 dargestellt, wobei die quaderförmigen Regalkästen 2 gegeneinander verdreht sind. Hierdurch werden die Regaldeckel 4 teilweise frei und sind erkennbar.In Figure 4 is the variable shelf Figure 1 shown, the cuboid shelf boxes 2 are rotated against each other. As a result, the shelf cover 4 are partially free and can be seen.
