Description

The present invention relates to a shelf and / or display cabinet device with at least two shelves positioned one above the other and one or more columns or columns which connect the shelves in the vertical direction. In particular, the present invention relates to such shelving and / or showcase systems in which the installation of the supports and / or support columns or columns by means of screw connections.

There are many types of building systems. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages that are more or less important depending on the application, quality requirements and taste. Modular building systems are well known Some of them also include additional components such as doors and side and rear walls, which allow the shelving system to be adapted to a variety of uses. However, they often have disadvantages that limit their functional and aesthetic adaptability.

From the pamphlets DE 1654726 A . EP 2248441 A1 . GB 1290679 A and GB 301236 A Each shelf and / or showcase systems are known in which profile supports are used, where wall panels or shelves are attached.

From the FR 2461140 A1 a shelving system is known, the supports of which consist of an inner profiled bar, on which rail-like projections or recesses support profiles can be postponed. In each case grooves remain between the support profiles, in which side walls or other functional elements can be inserted and connected to the inner profile bar. This has the disadvantage that sidewalls or other functional elements, for example, can only be mounted in the diagonal direction if the corresponding support profile has been completely removed. In addition, the grooves are present regardless of whether side walls or other functional elements are actually to be provided.

Object of the present invention is to provide a shelf and / or showcase system available, which allows a simple way a more flexible construction of shelf devices with customizable compartments

This object is achieved by a shelf and / or display case according to claim 1 and / or claim 2 and a set according to claim 10.

The present invention shows a shelf and / or showcase device with at least two shelves positioned one above the other and one or more columns and / or columns which connect the shelves in the vertical direction.

The system according to the invention can be used, for example, in offices, studios, living areas, trade fair stands, exhibitions and shop fittings. The building system can also be used in combination with table tops. In terms of spatial adaptability, versatility, functionality, design, disassembly and design, it offers many more possibilities than conventional systems. The constructive principle can also be used for the production of partitions or play castles.

For the production of shelves and / or showcases shelves are used, which are connected in the vertical direction by one or more supports and / or support columns. Advantageously, in order to ensure sufficient stability, three or more supports, and / or at least one column are used per shelf and level.

In the present invention, at least one of the supports in cross-section of at least two interconnected support profiles and / or at least one of the support column, also called just column, composed with at least two support profiles and at least one wall profile. As a result, a high variability with regard to the usable supports or columns is achieved with the simplest means.

When installing supports, the support has a recess extending longitudinally through the support, with a threaded rod with connecting profiles passing through the recess and connecting the shelves. In particular, the recess extends parallel to the center line of the column or center lines of the column and allows by sliding in the longitudinal direction of a connection of the support profiles or wall profiles with the connection profiles. Due to this structure, the supports or columns can be produced particularly easily and designed differently depending on requirements. In particular, the end portions of the column profiles or wall profiles need not be machined using machining techniques such as drilling or milling to enable the connections. The column and wall profiles serve to absorb pressure forces, while the threaded rod (s) receives or absorb tensile forces.

In particular, the support profiles may have such a shape that when they are connected together to provide the support, they leave an inwardly extending longitudinal recess through which the threaded rod with connection profile (s) passes. The columns create two or more of these recesses, each of which is provided with threaded rods with connecting profiles.

It is inventively provided that touch two directly adjacent columns or wall profiles on contact surfaces or seen from the outside no visible gaps in the contact surfaces between two directly adjacent columns profiles are provided so that after installing a support on the shelf, the connection profiles not to the outside visible form of the columns contribute and the external column form exclusively by the shape of the in their built and complementary support profiles or wall profiles is defined, and the possibility of combining this column and wall profiles in a support the desired variety of shapes allows this.

In particular, directly adjacent column or wall profiles can be in direct contact with each other over their entire length and touch each other at the contact surfaces thus formed.

If exclusively supports are used, at least two support profiles belonging to horizontally adjacent supports of a compartment plane have one or more grooves on one or more outer side surfaces and the profile length, which permits vertical insertion of one or more wall panels or translucent panels between the two horizontally adjacent supports enable a level of service without direct contact between wall panels and the connection profiles.

This achieves even greater flexibility and diversity in the arrangement of side walls. However, correspondingly provided with grooves support profiles must be used only where actually wall panels are to be used, so superfluous and disturbing grooves are avoided. The use of wall profiles also results in a multiplicity of new design possibilities compared to the state of the art, with the use of inserted wall panels representing a possible supplement here.

Advantageously, the external contact lines, which arise lengthwise between two directly adjacent column profiles and / or wall profiles, are concealed by chamfers or notches.

The present invention is used in shelving and / or showcase construction systems, in which, the installation and / or assembly of the columns or columns is done by means of screw.

According to the invention, the support profiles or wall profiles of the supports, or columns, can be detachably connected to one another. This allows flexible assembly and disassembly of columns or columns of the building system according to the invention. A pillar can be turned into a pillar and vice versa.

The columns or wall profiles of the columns or pillars can be connected to one another by positive locking. For this purpose, the support profiles or wall profiles have at least one side surface facing the support center or threaded rod, connecting regions and recesses extending in the longitudinal direction, in particular grooves or rail-like profilings, or corresponding projections, so that the connection can be effected by pushing several elements one upon the other in the longitudinal direction ,

The support profiles, as well as the wall profiles can be connected to each other by connecting profiles. The connection between the connection profiles and the column or wall profiles is done by positive locking. In particular, the connection profiles may have connection areas with longitudinally extending rail-like projections or corresponding recesses which correspond to the connection areas of the column or wall profiles, so that the connection between the column or wall profiles can be achieved by sliding the connection areas of the column or wall profiles onto the wall Connection areas of the connection profiles takes place. Column and / or wall profiles are not connected directly with each other, but with the help of a connection profile.

The shelf system according to the invention preferably comprises a plurality of different column and / or wall profiles which can be combined with one another to provide different supports and / or columns. Advantageously, all column or wall profiles are equipped with system-compatible connection areas.

Support profiles or wall profiles may differ with regard to the material used, the coloring, the surface structure, the cross section and / or the geometric configuration of the outside. Due to the structure of the supports of at least two interconnected support profiles so on the one hand, a very interesting and flexible design optics of the obtained shelf can be achieved. The same applies to the construction of columns which are composed of at least two connected column profiles and at least one wall profile, or of at least two wall profiles. At the same time, with a comparatively small number of different column or wall profiles, a large number of technical functions can be achieved by the combination of column or wall profiles with different geometrical design, the sides visible after construction.

Furthermore, the cross-section of a support forms four non-intersecting cross-sectional quadrants, wherein the support profile cross-sections of the support profiles each take one to three of these cross-sectional quadrants. In the design of columns wall profiles instead of column profiles can occupy these quadrants.

In particular, support profiles may be provided which occupy one of the cross-sectional quadrants. A pillar can be seen in cross-section, formed by joining four such pillar profiles.

Alternatively or additionally, support profiles may be provided which occupy two cross-sectional quadrants. A support can thus by assembling two such support profiles, or by joining a column profile, which occupies two cross-sectional quadrants, and two support profiles, which occupy a cross-section quadrant, are constructed.

Further alternatively or additionally, support profiles can be provided, which occupy three cross-sectional quadrants. Such support profiles can for example be combined with a support profile which occupies only one of the cross-sectional quadrants

The center of the division of the column cross-section in cross-sectional quadrants is preferably congruent with the center of the threaded rod cross-section. Furthermore, it can be provided that the two distribution levels of the division in cross-sectional quadrants are perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, it can be provided that the contact surfaces between two contacting column profiles and / or wall profiles are congruent with the division levels of the division into cross-sectional quadrants.

According to the invention, column or wall profiles can be used, which are defined geometrically by a vertical discharge of their cross sections. In particular, column or wall profiles can be used whose end faces do not need to be further processed with machining techniques in order to be able to be installed.

In this case, column or wall profiles can be used, which have a solid cross-section. For example, such support or wall profiles made of wood, plastic or metal can be made. Also, the connection areas for connecting the column or wall profiles can be made massive.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the column or wall profiles have a hollow and closed cross-section. Such profiles may be made of metal or plastic, for example. The connection areas are advantageously formed by the shape of the outer surface of the hollow profiles

Furthermore, it can be provided that the support or wall profiles have a hollow and open cross-section. Preferably, the opening of the column or wall profile is in the threaded rod facing column or wall profile portion. In this case, the connecting regions are preferably formed by the edges extending in the longitudinal direction, in the inner and in the region of the open profile cross-section protected by the profile. Such profile cross sections may preferably be made of plastic or metal.

Regardless of the exact structure of the column or wall profiles, it is preferable for a profile portion, which is in each case oriented toward the threaded rod, to form at least part of the corresponding connection area of a column.

1. 1. jeder denkbare Stützenprofilquerschnitt einen geometrischen Referenzpunkt (R) hat, der durch die senkrechte Austragung eine Referenzlinie (RL) bildet, und mit den Referenzlinie alle anderen, an der Stütze beteiligten Stützen- bzw. Wandprofile kollinear ist und diese gemeinsame Referenzlinie (RL) gleichzeitig auch die Mittellinie (ML) der Gewindestange bzw. Gewindestangen ist, und
2. 2. jeder denkbare Stützenquerschnitt einer zusammengebauten Stütze, um den Referenzpunkt (R) herum, vier sich nicht überschneidende und rechtwinklige Querschnittsquadranten (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) bildet, und die Stützenprofilquerschnitte jeweils einen bis vier dieser Querschnittsquadranten ganz, oder teilweise belegen, und
3. 3. jeder denkbare Säulenprofilquerschnitt einer zusammengebauten Säule, mindestens zwei geometrische Referenzpunkte (R) haben, die durch die senkrechte Austragung zwei Referenzlinien (RL) bilden, und diese mit den Referenzlinien aller anderen, an der Säule beteiligten Stützen- bzw. Wandprofile kollinear sind solange diese um dieselbe Gewindestange positioniert sind.
4. 4. die Kontaktflächen, zwischen direkt benachbarten und sich berührenden Stützen- und/oder Wandprofilen, deckungsgleich mit den orthogonalen Querschnittsachsen X (X) und Y (Y) sind, die auch die Querschnittsquadranten definieren.

In particular, column or wall profiles can be used, which arise by a vertical Austragung or extrusion of their cross-sections, wherein:

1. 1. each conceivable column profile cross-section has a geometric reference point (R), which forms a reference line (RL) by the vertical discharge, and with the reference line all other column or wall profiles involved in the support is collinear and this common reference line (RL) at the same time the center line (ML) of the threaded rod or threaded rods is, and
2. 2. each conceivable column cross-section of an assembled column, around the reference point (R), four non-intersecting and right-angled cross-section quadrants (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), and the column profile cross-sections fully or partially occupy one to four of these cross-sectional quadrants, and
3. 3. each conceivable column profile cross-section of an assembled column, have at least two geometric reference points (R), which form two reference lines (RL) by the vertical discharge, and these are collinear with the reference lines of all other column or wall profiles involved in the column These are positioned around the same threaded rod.
4. 4. the contact surfaces, between directly adjacent and touching column and / or wall profiles, are congruent with the orthogonal cross-sectional axes X (X) and Y (Y), which also define the cross-sectional quadrants.

The supports or pillars according to the present invention would not necessarily have to be constructed only with regard to their cross-section of a plurality of interconnected column or wall profiles. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that a support or column is composed at least partially in the longitudinal direction of two or more column or wall profiles. This also makes it possible to achieve interesting optical and technical effects. In particular, such a support or column, which extends between two shelves positioned directly above one another, can have a different optical design and / or a different technical function in the longitudinal direction.

The support profiles can serve in a first embodiment for the preparation of freestanding columns, which are not connected by wall panels with other supports, or for the production of columns, between which releasable wall panels are arranged. In both cases, the cross sections of the support profiles are preferably relatively small. In particular, the longest extent of a column profile in the transverse direction can be smaller than the minimum distance of the drilling distance grid of the shelves of the system.

Viewed in cross-section, column profiles may normally have a proportion between depth (Y-axis) and width (X-axis) from one to one to one to ten.

Column profiles, which are more likely to be perceived as wall panels due to their greater extent, and each have a connection area at the left and right vertical edges, are called wall profiles and used in the creation of columns. Their maximum widths preferably correspond to the system-conforming distances of the bore spacing grid of the shelves.

The provided according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention support always has only one threaded rod. A threaded rod is understood to be any rod which, at least in the upper region, and preferably in both end regions, has a thread. However, the thread can also be provided over the entire length of the threaded rod.

The threaded rod can thereby be screwed into a long nut for connection to further threaded rods, in particular for connection to a threaded rod in a threaded rod placed above or below the technical level. In particular, while the upper part of a threaded rod can be connected to the lower part of a directly above threaded rod by means of a long nut, the same can apply to the lower part of this threaded rod.

In a further embodiment, the threaded rod can also be screwed into a connecting profile with an internal thread for connection to further threaded rods. The connecting profile thus not only serves to connect the individual support profiles that surround it, but is also the link between two directly superimposed threaded rods and takes over in this case the function of the long nut.

In addition, a normal nut may additionally be provided which is screwed directly underneath or above the long nut or the connecting profile which takes on the function of the long nut and is tightened such that unwanted rotation of the threaded rod in the long nut or in the connecting profile is no longer possible is possible. Alternatively, instead of the nut, a weld or the like may be provided which performs the same function as the normal nut.

Of course, arrangements in a shelf and / or showcase are conceivable in which both long nuts, and connecting profiles are used with an internal thread for connecting threaded rods.

In both versions, it is conceivable to postpone another connecting profile without internal thread on the threaded rod. This connection profile thus serves only to connect the individual column or wall profiles with each other and the centering and the positive contact with the threaded rod.

It can be used in particular as follows constructed threaded rods with connection profiles (s), which are equipped with or without internal thread, and these connection profiles have cross-sections, which are uniform and uniform over the entire profile length preferably, but up and down beveled or rounded edges or corners have and releasable and dimensionally stable connections allow that arise by a precise and low-resistance insertion of the connection profiles in the connection areas of the extremities of the support profiles, the insertion always runs parallel to the center line of the threaded rod and all affected components have matching Verbindungsbereichsformen.

According to the present invention in particular connection profiles can be used, which allow a detachable and dimensionally stable connection of the support and / or wall profiles with each other and possibly with the threaded rod. Preferably, the connection of the support profiles or wall profiles with each other thereby takes place by a precise insertion of the connecting profiles in the connection areas of the support or wall profiles, wherein the insertion always runs parallel to the center lines of the threaded rods. Preferably, the connecting regions can extend over the entire length of the column or wall profiles, so that connections along the entire length of the column or pillar can be created at any desired location.

In particular, it can be provided that the connection profiles have a length which is at least 10%, preferably at least 20% of the length of the column or wall profiles. In a support, the threaded rods, nuts and connecting profiles are arranged in the central region of the cross section of the support thus formed and, when occupying the four cross-sectional quadrants by column or wall profiles, after assembly no longer visible from the outside.

In the present invention, connection profiles can be used
which present a central circular or polygonal recess with or without internal thread, in each of which a threaded rod can be screwed or welded.

In particular, the connection profiles may have two, four, or more longitudinally extending parallel and rail-like profiles in the form of projections or recesses, which have a matching counterpart profile for recessing the connecting portions of the column or wall profiles and thereby a positive and detachable connection between the Allow supports or wall profiles and the connection profile.

In this case, the cross-section of the connection profile may preferably be designed mirror-symmetrically with respect to the orthogonal cross-sectional axes around the center.

As described above, the threaded rods can also be connected to each other via long nuts, so that the connection profiles only serve only to connect the column or wall profiles with each other, as well as a centered arrangement of these profiles on the threaded rod. In this case, or may be, the longitudinally extending recess or recesses, be circular, polygonal or any other configuration, and must, or must, have no internal thread. In particular, in this case, the connection profile on the central recess or hole on a threaded rod fitting and low resistance pushed. Thus, the threaded rods can be made to fit through the recess of the connection profile.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the columns and the columns of a level can be at least partially free and not connected by wall panels.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the supports and the columns of a compartment level can at least partially allow a detachable connection with wall panels. For this purpose, the support or wall profiles have grooves on their outer sides and parallel to the reference line of the respective support or column, which make it possible to insert one or more wall plates in a dimensionally stable manner between two horizontally adjacent supports or columns of a compartment plane. As a result, the installation of compartment rear walls and / or shed side walls and / or Fachdiagonalwänden is made possible during the construction of the shelf.

In particular, the support profiles according to the invention may have at their diagonal corners one or more grooves, which are in cross-section at an oblique angle, and preferably in the 45 degree angle, to the orthogonal cross-sectional axes. As a result, according to the invention, the installation of specialized diagonal walls is made possible.

• So können die Wandplatten an ihren linken und rechten Kanten passgenau in die Nuten gesteckt werden. In diesem Fall schließen die Wandplatten nicht bündig mit den Stützen bzw. Säulen ab, sondern sind gegenüber ihren Außenflächen zurückversetzt.

For the construction of walls, different configurations of the wall panels and their connection to the supports are conceivable:

• Thus, the wall panels can be inserted at their left and right edges fit into the grooves. In this case, the wall panels do not close flush with the columns, but are recessed from their outer surfaces.

Alternatively, the wall panels may each have a stepped profiling on their left and right edges and parallel to these edges, which fits into the grooves and is placed so that the later visible wall side (s) is flush with the or , Supports outside.

In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, wall profiles can be used which have, at their left and right vertical edges, system-conforming connection areas for direct connections to the connection profiles of different threaded rods to enable. Advantageously, the connecting regions are arranged so that the wall profile side, visible from the outside after the construction, forms a flush closure with the shelf edge and / or outside of the column.

Furthermore, it can be provided that at least one, but preferably two wall profiles are supplemented by two or more support profiles and thus form a pillar. For example, while a corner of a column can be formed by a support profile that occupies only a cross-section quadrant.

Furthermore, several columns and wall profiles can be combined to form a solid or hollow column. Such a column comprises at least two, three or four threaded rods with connecting profiles. In the interior of a hollow open or closed column can, for example., Cables and bulbs are laid or installed. A hollow and open column can have, for example, an open side or rear wall in order to allow easier access to the technical installations.

According to the present invention, further vertical bores can be provided which pass through the affected shelves and are necessary for the installation of the columns or columns and their threaded rods.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the threaded rods of the supports or columns pass through the bores, while the support profiles or wall profiles are supported with their end faces on the shelves. In particular, the column or wall profiles can be clamped by screwing to the threaded rods between the shelves.

For example, a threaded rod of a lower support, or column, can pass through a shelf and be screwed on the upper side by means of a long nut or a connecting profile with the threaded rod of another support or column. The bracing can be done in a specialized manner, or over the entire height of the shelf.

Furthermore, it can be provided according to the invention that the intended for a desired shelf section centers of the holes that go through the shelves, congruent with the cross points of a preferred for the construction system bore spacing grid. As a result, the number of different possibly necessary components, in particular the number of different wall plate sizes, or wall profiles is reduced. Advantageously, however, holes are only provided where a support or column is to be installed.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the holes pass vertically through the entire shelf. The preferred bore diameter should be such that it makes a common but perfectly accurate insertion of a threaded rod through the entire shelf thickness possible.

In the case of a built at an oblique angle shelf, however, the bore is advantageously so large that they can accommodate a cylinder-like centering for oblique shelves, fit. Advantageously, this type of centering on a circular floor plan, which fills this shelf hole on the entire bore length and diameter accurately. The centering element in this case has an angle extending at the same angle as the shelf oblique hole for the accurate execution of a threaded rod whose center line intersects with the center line of the larger bore, which goes through the shelf.

Preferably, the upper side of the cylinder-like centering element for oblique shelves with oblique sides and thereby have a three-dimensional oblique attachment whose upwardly directed surface is part of an oblique plane which is preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of an oblique support, and this oblique surface seen from above preferably does not protrude beyond the circular floor plan of the oblique centering. Furthermore, it can be provided that the complete attachment of the centering element for sloping shelves, after insertion into the shelf, is located entirely above the upper side of the shelf.

According to a possible embodiment of the present invention, two wall panels can be installed parallel to each other between two horizontally and directly adjacent columns or columns of a level by inserting. This will u. a. the installation of double compartment rear walls and / or double compartment side walls and / or double Fachdiagonalwänden made possible. Preferably, the support profiles or wall profiles for this purpose on their outer sides and / or possibly free-standing contact surfaces and parallel to the length of the respective support or column at least one groove, which allows the installation of the two parallel wall panels.

In a first embodiment, at least two grooves can be provided, which allow the installation of two spaced apart parallel wall plates.

Alternatively, only one groove can be provided on each support or column, which allows the installation of two parallel, with the back to each other touching wall plates.

The use of two wall panels per compartment makes it possible to arrange functional elements on one or both wall panels and / or between the wall panels. For example, functional elements can be arranged on one of the wall panels without their attachment being visible on the other wall panel.

For example, functional elements such as: drawers, doors, intermediate shelves, bulbs and / or sockets can be installed, which are fixed or inserted by means of connecting means such as screws, hinges or support pins only on the inner walls of the affected wall panels or wall profiles of the affected shelf.

The electrical wiring of electrical equipment such as the above bulbs, or sockets, can be done in the space between the two wall panels.

The construction according to the invention with two wall plates thereby enables the complete elimination of individual functional elements from a shelf by replacing only the wall panels to which these optional components are fixed. As a result, an exchange of the corresponding functional elements without residues is possible.

According to the present invention, the wall panels are preferably detachably connectable to the supports or columns.

According to the invention, it can also be provided that the connecting elements connect the at least two connecting profile sections permanently and dimensionally stable in at least two different directions, can be used to allow the installation of diagonal and / or horizontal struts between columns and / or columns, wherein for the assembly the struts the same profiles or support profiles and / or wall profiles can be used, as in the assembly of the columns and / or columns.

Due to the three-dimensional arrangement of at least two sufficiently long connecting profile sections, which, viewed externally, have the same cross-sectional shape as the connecting profiles of the supports, z. B. L-shaped, T-shaped, X-shaped and many other geometric derived therefrom account elements are formed, which allows the installation or the insertion of other shelves.

Furthermore, it can be vorgehsehen that wall panels or wall profiles, which are usually installed vertically between columns or in columns, can also be inserted or inserted horizontally between the braces and thus take over the function of the shelves.

Furthermore, the present invention comprises a component set in short form also called set for the construction of a shelf and / or showcase device, as described above. The set comprises column profiles, threaded rods and connection profiles for providing a support as shown above and / or column profiles, wall profiles, threaded rods and connection profiles for providing a column as described above.

In particular, the support profiles can be connected via the connection profiles in such a way that they form a support seen in cross-section of at least two support profiles, or alternatively support profiles and wall profiles are connected via the connection profiles so that they are seen in cross-section of at least two support profiles and at least one wall profile, forming a composite column. In particular, the supports and the columns can be detachably connected to each other via their outer side surfaces by means of grooves and wall plates. Advantageously, the column or wall profiles are constructed as described above in more detail.

The set according to the invention comprises for the formation of a support two or more support profiles and a threaded rod with at least one connecting profile, and for the formation of a column, two or more support profiles, at least one wall profile, and at least two threaded rods with at least one connecting profile, as above were described in detail with regard to the shelf system according to the invention. In particular, a support formed by the support profiles may have a recess passing through the support in the longitudinal direction, a threaded rod with one or more connection profiles may pass through the recess in the supports and serve to connect to the shelves by means of bracing then at least two recesses and two threaded rods. Advantageously, column or wall profiles, connecting profiles and threaded rods are constructed as already described above.

In particular, the set can have a plurality of identical and / or different column or wall profiles, as well as corresponding connection profiles for connecting these profiles.

Furthermore, the set includes optional node elements that can not only connect with vertical column profiles but also with horizontal and / or diagonal braces, these braces are composed of the same column or wall profiles as the pillars and the external cross-sectional shape of the Connecting areas of the node elements is designed as the connecting profiles which are installed in the columns or pillars.

It is provided that the node elements have at least two projecting connecting profile sections in sufficient length in at least two different directions to allow the sliding of the profiles of the horizontal or diagonal struts on the connecting portions of the node elements on their faces.

In the central region of the node element can be provided that can be pushed through cross-sectional reductions 1/4 profiles and / or 1/2 profiles over the center of the node and beyond, thus increasing the deployment options.

Advantageously, the connection areas of all the elements contained in the set correspond. In particular, it may be provided that all connection profiles can be connected to all column or wall profiles of the set. Preferably, all connection profiles contained in the set have geometrically identically shaped connection regions.

In addition, the set according to the invention may also have shelves and / or wall panels and / or functional elements, as described in more detail above.

System and figure description

The aim of the invention is to provide the users or buyers a very attractive shelf and / or showcase construction system available that can be easily adapted to the needs of the user. It allows a very individual design of the shelves by, inter alia, the installation of wall plates 19 between each adjacent pair of supports 3 and columns 18 installed can be and thus the installation side walls, rear walls and diagonal walls allows. These in turn allow the installation of functional elements such. As drawers 23, compartment doors 22, sockets 25 and bulbs 24 between two superimposed shelves 1. wall panels with functional elements and holes can later be replaced at any time without residue and used again.

Each individual compartment page can be provided with or without wall panels 19. The supports 3 preferably have a square cross-sectional starting shape 27 after assembly. When using threaded rods with freely rotating connection profiles (n) Fig. 6d to 6g , are used differently by a simple 90 or 180 degree rotation around the reference line RL of the support. Besides, supports can not only be square Fig. 28 but also round, polygonal or completely asymmetrical cross sections such as in the FIGS. 49 to 56 but have a square shape as a column cross-sectional outlet 27. The variety of shapes of the cross sections of the columns proves to be particularly advantageous if trapezoidal 1d, triangular 1c, octagonal 1g, or even diamond-shaped 1e shelves, the last as in the example in Fig. 67 , are used.

The constructive principle, in which connected support profiles 4, 5, 6 and / or wall profiles 7 are used to a support 3 or column 18, can also be used for the production of showcases and partitions or room dividers.

figure description

Fig. 1a ) Shows one of many possible shelves that are created according to this construction system and the individual design possibilities of the individual compartments.

The external and necessary supports is what their cross-section, achieved by the assembly of up to four identical or different support sections 4, 5, 6 and 8 and / or connecting profiles 8 whose profile profile is always parallel to the center line ML of the threaded rod 13 of a support ,

The building system can also be used very well in combination with table tops and partitions.

Fig. 1b ) Shows that not only vertical but also sloping shelves are possible with the help of the building system. For sloping shelves, the horizontal shelves can be installed offset from above 1b shows , Since the supports 3 or columns (18) thereby occupy inclined positions, the installation of stabilizing wall plates 19 and / or wall profiles (7) may be mandatory in order to guarantee the dimensional stability and load capacity of the shelf.

Fig. 2a ), 2b) Shows in the side view Fig. 2a ) and in the frontal view Fig. 2b ) the same shelf example with various shelves which, apart from the base, are connected only by columns 18 and thus allow freestanding shelf surfaces. For the construction of columns, the same construction principle is used as in the assembly of columns, with the difference that a column always comprises at least two threaded rods and at least one wall profile 7 is used, each having two connecting portions 37 and the dimensionally stable connection between two adjacent Threaded rods with connection profiles 10, 11, 12 produce. The columns can create open or closed cavities suitable for optional accommodation of power cables for e.g. As sockets 25 or bulbs 24, can be used advantageously.

Fig. 3 ) Shows the shape and dimensioning of the most advantageous shelf plans 1a to 1j. All system-conformal floor plans are based on a hole spacing grid 36, which enables a modular design of the components. This grid defines the minimum distances between two adjacent threaded rods of the columns or columns of a shelf level with regard to their shelf depth and shelf width. Preferably, these distances are equal for width and depth and thus form a square grid. Square grids have the advantage of not only installing orthogonal side and rear walls, but also the installation of diagonal walls in the 45 degree angle Fig. 67 quite apart from that, the square grid significantly reduces the number of different widths of the wall panels 19, as well as the wall profiles 7, of the building system.

Shelves with one or more round side edges 1i are also conceivable and may, depending on the size of the curve radius of the side edge (s) and the flexibility of the plates used, allow the installation of curved wall panels 19.

The cross points of the spacing grid 36 are congruent with the center of the holes 31 which are always made vertically through the shelves and are only necessary where a pillar is to be placed. Through this hole, the threaded rods 13 are accurately passed to connect vertically stacked threaded rods by means of Langmuttem 16b, or connecting profiles with internal thread 8, or equivalents, by screw.

Fig. 4a) to 4e ) Shows sequence of a support 3 with a threaded rod with two connecting profiles 11a. In the example, a common support with square cross-sectional shape 27 is assembled by sliding the components. A support can be made as needed from two or more support profiles 4, 5, 6 and a threaded rod with connection profile (s) 10, 11, 12 (in this drawing 11a) and can thus take very different forms to the functional and aesthetic Requirements of the shelf section to meet. Preferably, during assembly of the supports, one to four identical and / or different support profiles 4, 5, 6 are selected and suitably combined with the same length, which are connected to one another in a dimensionally stable and detachable manner with the aid of connection profiles 8, 9. The aim of the combinability between the same or different support profiles 4a to 6c is to allow the greatest possible design flexibility during the construction or reconstruction of the shelves or showcases and to completely let the threaded rods 13 and the connection profiles in the core region of the support after construction.

Column profiles 4, 5, 6, which are installed in one and the same support, does not necessarily always have the same length. Thus, a given pillar profile may have only a partial length of the entire pillar length and be continued with pillar profiles of a different external shape to achieve the final pillar length. If, for example, a compartment wall begins or ends halfway up, you can count on this constructive advantage To fall back on. Also, two directly adjacent 1/4-column profiles 4, can be continued by a 2/4-column profile 5. Since the connection profiles 8, 9 can always be inserted on the entire column profile length, it is also possible to assemble very long columns of column profiles with different lengths.

Fig. 5a ) Shows a perspective of an example of a shelf section where wall panels 19 can be inserted releasably and dimensionally stable between two adjacent supports 3 with lateral grooves 21. The invented building system is based in its essence to allow the creation of composite columns 3 and columns 18, between horizontal and superimposed shelves 1 and by means of threaded rods with connecting profiles 10, 11, 12 in Fig. 6a-6g can be stretched by screwing. A support is always equipped with a threaded rod with connecting profile, which is pushed in the longitudinal direction by a support-centered recess 30a, or connecting portion 37, connected to a threaded rod with or above her threaded connection profile 10, 11, 12 of an adjacent level by screw to be able to, as in FIGS. 57 to 61 ,

Fig. 5b ) Shows a perspective of an example of a showcase section, where translucent plates or glasses 19, releasably and dimensionally stable between two adjacent columns 3 can be inserted with lateral grooves 21. The example also shows how diagonal walls between supports 3 can be installed and allow showcase partitions.

Fig. 6a) to 6g ) Show various possible shape variants of threaded rods with connection profiles 10, 11, 12. They consist normally of a threaded rod 13 at the lower end of a long mother is 16 or equivalent screwed or embedded, so that preferably about 2/3 of the available internal thread 33 is available for screwing a threaded rod positioned underneath to make the connection with another column. For this purpose, the threaded rod at the top and bottom end and preferably on the entire rod length has a thread which fits the long nut. Each support 3 has a geometric reference line RL which is congruent with the center line ML of the threaded rod 13.

Depending on the materials used, a normal nut 16b or a weld, gluing or grouting can prevent unwanted further rotation of the threaded rod in the lower centric connection profile 8 or long nut 16a during the construction of a shelf. The length of the long nut 16a is preferably always the same for the entire building system.

Fig. 7a to 12b ) Show sections of connecting profiles 8, 9 used in the preparation of a support 3 are used. Connection profiles with centric recess 30 and without internal thread 9, are directly on the threaded rod 13 fit exactly as in Fig. 6b to 6g pushed and can rotate freely around the threaded rod.

A connecting profile with a central bore and internal thread 8, can be screwed to the lower part of a threaded rod and thus take over the function of the long nut 16a Fig. 6a, 6b . 6c ,

The function of the connection profiles is to connect the desired support profiles 4, 5, 6 with the threaded rod 13 of the support. For the purpose of connection, the connection profiles 8, 9 and the support profiles 4, 5, 6 over their entire length and seen in cross-section, matching connecting portions 37 on. The connection profiles are preferably extruded profiles made of plastic or metal and have a polygonal and mirror-symmetrical cross-section. The external cross-sectional shape of the connection profiles 8, 9 of the building system are always mirror-symmetrical with respect to the cross-sectional axes X and Y of the associated columns and have longitudinally, at least two, four, or more rail-like projections matching the selected connection area form 37a to 37h of the Construction system are Fig. 15a to Fig. 22c ,

The column profile cross sections described later in detail FIGS. 30a to 48c always require the use of connecting profiles 8e and / or 9e in the illustrated examples. For all other divergent examples of connection profile shapes, the connection area 37 was in the Fig. 15a-22c adapted for better visualization. Under normal load, it is sufficient to push short link profile sections into the upper and lower support extremities to make a solid and detachable connection, as in FIG Fig. 4a) to 4e ) At high pressure loads, centric connection profiles 8, 9 can be inserted over almost the whole length of the support in order to avoid a disintegration of the support profiles 4, 5, 6 Fig. 58 . 59 ,

Fig. 13a) to 14b) Show two examples connecting profiles 8, 9 which can connect only two 2/4-column profiles 5 due to their design. This variant allows column sections with small width and small depth and means material savings, but therefore does not offer the possibility grooves 21 for diagonal walls as in Fig. 67 to place in the columns.

Fig. 15a) to 22c ) Show that the threaded rod facing part of the column profile cross-sections, grooves in an internal recess 30a, which extend the same size and uniform and parallel to the reference line RL. These internal profiles form the connection areas 37 of the building system. They allow the support profiles 4, 5, 6 by low-resistance, and column-free sliding on the connecting profiles 8, 9 form a support and thereby creates a positive and releasable connection between the components as in the FIGS. 49 to 52 ,

Fig. 23a) to 26c ) Show examples of small and square or rectangular column profile cross sections, where connection profiles 8, 9 are used and are limited to the installation of 2/4-column profiles. The reduced number of components reduces the construction effort of a support but also limits their column compatibility significantly.

Fig. 27a ) Shows an example of quadrangular column shape column section 27 and its reference point R, which is the intersection point of the two orthogonal cross-sectional axes X and Y and congruent with the reference line RL, the later-formed column 3. The cross-sectional axes X and Y are at the same time the geometric dividing lines of the four resulting cross-sectional quadrants Q1 to Q4 of a column cross-section, each individual column profile 4, 5, 6 can occupy one to a maximum of three of these cross-quadrants, so that 1/4 column profiles 4, 2/4-post profiles 5 and 3/4-Säulenprfole 6 arise and their contact surfaces 29 are congruent with the cross-sectional axes X and Y of the column cross-section.

Fig. 27b ) Shows an example of column cross-section with square starting shape 27 and shape details such as grooves 21, notches 35 for lamination of the contact lines, chamfers 34 and the connection region 37.

Fig. 28) to 29 ) Shows an example of square column section and its reference point R congruent with the reference line RL of the pillar 3 to be formed, two orthogonal sectional axes X and Y, and external shapes such as grooves 21, notches 35, chamfers 34, and a connecting portion 37, the cross-sectional axes X or Y are at the same time the geometric dividing lines of the two resulting cross-sectional halves H1 and H2 of a column cross-section, each individual 2/4-column profile 5 always only two adjacent, can occupy the four cross-section quadrants Q1 to Q4 and the contact surfaces 29 between them are congruent with the cross-sectional axes X or Y of the column cross-section.

Fig. 30a) to 48c ) Show support profile sections 4a to 6c. A column profile can be massive Fig. 30a) to 48a ), or hollow and closed Fig. 30b) to 48b ), or hollow and open Fig. 30c) to 48c ) and preferably so that solid and hollow column profiles can be combined in one and the same column by having the same connection area shapes 37 Fig. 51, 55 , Solid support profiles are suitable for the best materials such as wood, MDF, HDF, rigid foam and plastic, and for hollow support profiles extruded profiles made of plastic and aluminum are particularly suitable.

The Fig. 30a to 48c also show how the formations of the outer side surfaces 28 and / or contact surfaces 29 of the support profiles 4 to 6 fail and one or more grooves for the insertion of large components such. B. wall plates 19 may have, wherein the groove recess always perpendicular to the support outer surfaces 28 and contact surfaces. If the possibility of installing diagonal walls is given, the grooves also run at 45 degrees to the X and Y axis of the support Fig. 50 , Likewise, in some of the figures, the geometric reference points R and the connecting region, in the case exemplified by 37e, are clearly visible.

Square column cross sections Fig. 28 Although not the absolutely necessary cross-sectional output form 27 for this construction system, but significantly increase the design flexibility during the planning and building a shelf. Columns with a square cross-section can be used differently by simply turning them around the three axes. All column profile cross sections in FIGS. 30a to 48c take in these figures, for example, the use of Verbindungsprofiquerschnitten 8e / 9e back and can be combined in one and the same support.

Column profile cross-sections with a square starting shape 27 may deviate from the square in the final external form, but find their origin in it. Examples like in 52, 54 show how asymmetric column cross sections can be created by special column profile cross sections. An extension of the column profile pallet through system-compliant additions of other and not yet drawn column profile cross-sections is any time conceivable and part of this invention.

Whether hollow column profiles are designed to be open or closed depends on the loads of the shelf, the materials used, their properties, the profile wall thicknesses and column lengths. For plastic, it may, for. B. be advantageous to use closed profiles to increase their torsional stiffness.

Fig. 30a) to 37c) Show examples of solid and hollow 1/4-column profile sections 4a-1 to 4c-8 with connection area 37e.

Fig. 38a) to 44c ) Show examples of solid and hollow 2/4-post profile sections 5a-1 to 5c-7 with joint area 37e.

Fig. 45a) to 48c ) Show examples of solid and hollow 3/4 column profile sections 6a-1 to 6c-4 with connection area 37e.

Fig. 49) to 56 ) Show examples of perspectives and outward forms of column sections which can be generated by the combination of solid, hollow and open and hollow and closed column profiles 4, 5, 6. The extremely high combinability shows that with relatively few column profiles, an extremely wide variety of columns can arise.

With just three different 1/4-column profiles, twenty different column sections can be created. The Fig. 53) and 56 ) show that instead of wall profiles and wall plates 19 can be used, which can be inserted into the grooves 21 of the contact surfaces of the support profiles 4, 5, 6 and thus allow closed columns with hollows.

Fig. 57a ), 57b) shows a horizontal and vertical cross section of an example of one or two shelf levels, where a threaded rod with connection profile 11a is clamped by screw connection between the shelves 1 and in the upper part of the support in each case the connection profile is inserted without internal thread 9.

Fig. 58 ) Shows an example of vertical cross-section through two storage levels where a threaded rod with a long connection profile 10 is clamped by screw connection between the shelves 1 to avoid divergence of the support profiles by high load.

Fig. 59 ) Alternatively to Fig. 58 ) shows Fig. 59 ) has a vertical cross-section through two storage levels where a threaded rod with connecting profiles 11b is clamped by screw connection between the shelves 1 and above and at half height two connecting profiles without internal thread 9 has.

Fig. 60a ), 60b) shows a vertical and horizontal cross section through a level where a threaded rod with connection profile 12d is tightened by screw connection between the shelves 1 and the connection profiles used without internal thread 9 can rotate freely about the threaded rod 13 and the connection of the threaded rods with each other the long-mother 16a is taken over. This type of column construction allows the support profiles to be turned around the threaded rod. The support profiles 4, 5, 6 can be preassembled in the case completely independent of the threaded rod and untereinender and later be pushed over threaded rod. This advantage also allows 180 degree turning of composite support profiles about a horizontal axis and facilitates assembly.

Fig. 61 ) Shows an example of vertical cross-section through a sloping shelf section. For the creation of these shelves centering elements for oblique shelves 17 are used, which are placed in the wide bore 31 of the shelves 1 and have the goal to allow the oblique and correct positioning of the threaded rods with connection profiles 10, 11, 12 and slipping the installed and obliquely sawn-off supports or support profiles to prevent.

Fig. 62 ) Shows an example of vertical cross-section through an inclined shelf centering element 17. Its upper inclined support surface and perpendicular bore 32 passes through the center M of the lower part of the centering, which is located in the shelf and is used for correct and dimensionally stable positioning of the supports. 3 in a sloping shelf or showcase device.

Fig. 63 ) Shows an example of a horizontal cross section through a shelf section with thin wall panels 19 and 2. an intermediate shelf is also shown as T-wall structures are made possible by supports, in which the support sections 4 and 5, a total of only two of the cross section quadrants Q1 to Q4 occupy using.

Fig. 64 ) Shows an example of horizontal cross section through a shelf section with thick wall panels 19 and a T wall construction as in FIG Fig. 64 ). Thick wall panels have at their left and right edges step-like rail profiles which fit into the grooves 21 of the support profiles 4, 5, 6 and preferably so that their outer wall surface allows a flush finish with the shelf edge and / or column outer side 28

Fig. 65 ) Shows an example of horizontal cross section through a shelf section with thick wall profiles 7, which have at their left and right vertical edges system conformal connection areas 37 and combined with 1 / 4- or 2/4-post profiles and optically completed. This construction is advantageous for small shelves, where the supports are optically daintier, or columns 18, to be created.

Fig. 66 ) Shows an example of horizontal cross section through a shelf section with wall profiles 7, which have at their left and right edges and in the central region of the wall profile of the rear wall, a third connection portion 37 and completely dispense with support profiles. This construction eliminates the column profiles, but increases the number of different wall profile widths by more than three times in relation to the variant in FIG Fig. 65 ). Joints that arise between two wall profiles can be covered on their front sides with trim strips in the recesses provided for this purpose.

Fig. 67 ) Shows an example of horizontal cross-section through a shelf section with thick and thin diagonal wall panels 19, which make it possible to create shelf levels with two or more access sides (see arrows). Even diagonal walls can be double-walled and designed differently. This design is particularly interesting in the construction of showcases, where the access sides can also be provided with compartment doors 22 made of glass.

Fig. 68 ) Shows an example of horizontal cross section through a compartment level with integrated compartment door 22. The hinges of the doors are bolted to the inner wall panels 19a. Again, to achieve maximum compartment depth, be dispensed with the back walls with cavities or double walls.

Fig. 69a) to 69d ) As an alternative to the column profiles and wall profiles 7 can be connected to the connecting profiles 8, 9, thus enabling the construction of solid or hollow columns 18 support. While the support profiles always have only one connection region 37, the wall profiles always have a connection region on the left and a second on the right vertical edge and can thus connect two different and horizontally adjacent threaded rods in a dimensionally stable manner. The wall profiles can be solid 7a, hollow and closed 7b, hollow and open 7c, or twice as thick 7d.

Fig. 70a) to 70d ) Show cross-sections of examples of flat support columns 18 which require only two threaded rods and allow only very small cavities.

Fig. 71 ) Shows an example of horizontal cross section through a shelf section with two different columns 18 each requiring four threaded rods with connecting profiles 10, 11, 12. If the number of supports per shelf level is to be reduced, the system can resort to the installation of support columns. Columns create non-slip bearing surfaces as supports and also allow the construction of larger freestanding shelves. In their interior cavities may arise, the z. B. for the installation of bulbs 24 and sockets 25 and their wiring are well suited. Columns can be designed to be closed 18a or open 18b. This design is particularly advantageous in shopfitting, where shelves accessible from several sides and supports the goods should not obscure. If you provide z. B. one or more column sides with acrylic or frosted glass plates, the subjects can also be illuminated as it shows the open column 18 b in the figure.

Fig. 72 ) Shows a perspective of a pillar with a square outline and three wall profiles 7b, four threaded rods with connecting profiles 10, 11, 12 and a translucent wall plate 19 with an integrated light tube 24, located in the courtyard of the column, through recesses in the sheds, on several levels away, can extend.

Fig. 73 ) Shows an example of horizontal cross section through a shelf section with three different column examples 18 which require two, three or four threaded rods with connecting profiles 10, 11, 12 and thereby allow different layouts and access forms.

Fig. 74 ) Shows a perspective of a pillar with triangular outline and two wall sections 7b, three threaded rods with connecting profiles 10, 11, 12 and wall plate 19, the z. B. may also be a mirror.

FIGS. 75a to 75e ) Show examples of node elements 38 that allow to connect by node-central profile reductions 40, in at least one direction 1/4-profile 4 and 1/2 profiles 5, which extend beyond the midpoint M of the node.

Fig. 76 ) Shows an example of a shelf section in the structure made possible by X-shaped node element and presenting horizontal braces 39. The profile 4 under the shelf 7 shows how B. LED strips 20 in horizontal and vertical profiles 4, 5, 6 can be integrated and illuminate the shelves.

Fig. 77 ) Shows an example of a corner situation where node elements 38 are used and profiles 5 surround the shelf and are cut off at a 45 degree angle.
