Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Betriebslagermittel, insbesondere einen Schubladenschrank, der einen Korpus oder ein Gestell zur Aufnahme von Schubladen aufweist, wobei Führungsmittel vorgesehen sind, mit denen Schubladen ausziehbar und einschiebbar sind, wobei zumindest ein optisches Anzeigemittel vorgesehen ist, mittels dem von einer Steuerung des Betriebslagermittels bereitgestellte Signale bezüglich Zustandsinformationen der Schubladen optisch anzeigbar sind.The invention relates to an operating bearing means, in particular a drawer cabinet, which has a body or a frame for receiving drawers, wherein guide means are provided with which drawers are extendable and insertable, wherein at least one optical display means is provided by means of a control of the operating bearing means provided signals regarding state information of the drawers are optically displayed.

Vor allem im Bereich der industriellen Fertigung müssen oftmals Gegenstände zwischengelagert werden, die einen hohen Wert darstellen. Es kann sich hierbei um Werkzeuge, Messmittel, Bauteile und dergleichen handeln, deren Wert ohne weiteres einen vier oder sogar fünfstelligen Euro-Betrag darstellen kann. Es zeigt sich jedoch eine Tendenz, dass solche Gegenstände aus Betriebslagermitteln, wie beispielsweise Lagerschränken, immer öfter entwendet werden, selbst aus Fabriken und Werkräumlichkeiten deren Zugang auf bestimmte Personengruppen beschränkt ist. Den Unternehmen entsteht hierdurch ein ganz erheblicher finanzieller Schaden.Especially in the field of industrial manufacturing often objects must be stored, which represent a high value. These may be tools, measuring devices, components and the like whose value can easily represent a four or even five-digit euro amount. However, there is a tendency for such items to be increasingly stolen from warehouses, such as storage cabinets, even from factories and factory premises whose access is limited to particular groups of people. As a result, companies incur considerable financial damage.

Unter anderem aus diesem Grund sind bereits Werkzeugschränke entwickelt worden, deren Zugang über ein Zugangs- bzw. Zugriffsberechtigungssystem gesteuert wird. Damit sollen von einer zentralen Stelle ganze Schränke und einzelne Schubladen gesperrt oder frei gegeben werden können. Da die Schubladen in der Regel mit Einteilungsmitteln unterteilt sind und in den einzelnen Fächern der Schubladen unterschiedliches Lagergut mit unterschiedlichen Zugriffsberechtigungen vorhanden sein kann, werden auch Rahmen zur Abdeckung von Schubladen angeboten, deren Größe exakt der jeweiligen Schubladenfläche entspricht. Der Rahmen soll von oben auf die Schublade aufgesetzt und an dieser befestigt werden. Er weist eine matrixförmige Struktur auf und hat für jedes Fach der jeweiligen Schublade eine von oben zugängliche und mit einer schwenkbaren Klappe verschliess- und freigebbare Öffnung. Jeder Klappe ist am Rahmen eine Freigabeanforderungstaste zugeordnet, mit der von einer übergeordneten Zugriffsfreigabeeinrichtung eine Freigabe zur Öffnung der bestimmten Klappe angefordert bzw. eine Klappe geöffnet werden kann. In Abhängigkeit von der im Zugriffsberechtigungseinrichtung hinterlegten Regelung über die Berechtigung von einzelnen Nutzern auf einzelne Fächer zugreifen zu dürfen, wird dann die Schliesseinrichtung der entsprechenden Schublade und der entsprechenden Klappe der Schublade entriegelt oder aber die Verriegelung aufrecht erhalten.For this reason, among other things, tool cabinets have already been developed whose access is controlled via an access authorization system. This should be locked or released from a central location whole cabinets and individual drawers. Since the drawers are usually divided by Einteilungsmitteln and different storage goods can be present with different access rights in the individual compartments of the drawers, also frame for covering drawers are offered, whose size corresponds exactly to the respective drawer surface. The frame should be placed on top of the drawer and fastened to it. It has a matrix-like structure and has for each compartment of the respective drawer a top accessible and closable with a hinged flap opening and releasable. Each flap is associated with a release request button on the frame which can be used to request a release to open the particular flap or open a flap by a higher level access release device. Depending on the scheme stored in the access authorization facility to be allowed to access individual subjects to individual subjects, then the locking device of the corresponding drawer and the corresponding flap of the drawer is unlocked or maintained the lock.

Die Anmelderin hat bereits Schubladenschränke und andere auf Schubladen basierende Betriebslagermittel in ihrem Programm, bei denen Zustands- oder Statusinformationen über einzelne Schubladen an der Frontseite angezeigt werden. Derartige Statusinformationen können insbesondere - aber nicht ausschliesslich - Freigabeinformationen über die entsprechende Schublade und Abteile innerhalb dieser Schublade sein. Die bisherige Lösung hat jedoch den Nachteil eines hohen technischen Aufwands aufgrund des erforderlichen Verkabelungsaufwands, bei dem Kabel und/oder Schleifkontakte bis in die Schubladen verlegt werden müssen, damit an den Schubladen Energie und Signale zur Verfügung stehen.The Applicant already has drawer cabinets and other drawer-based warehouse equipment in their program where status or status information about individual drawers is displayed on the front panel. Such status information may include, but is not limited to, release information about the corresponding drawer and compartments within that drawer. However, the previous solution has the disadvantage of a high technical complexity due to the required cabling effort, must be laid in the cable and / or sliding contacts to the drawers, so that the drawers energy and signals are available.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit für Betriebslagermittel der eingangs genannten zu schaffen, durch die mit geringerem technischem Aufwand als bisher, an Schubladen optisch wahrnehmbare Zustands- und/oder Statusinformationen angezeigt werden können.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a way for operational bearing means of the aforementioned, can be displayed with less technical effort than before, to drawers visually perceptible status and / or status information.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Betriebsmittel der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch zumindest ein mit der Steuerung des Betriebslagermittels zur Signalversorgung wirkverbundenes Lichtemittiermittel gelöst, das am Gestell oder Korpus des Betriebslagermittels angeordnet ist, wobei das zumindest eine Lichtemittiermittel der zumindest einen Schublade mittels der durch die Steuerung bereitgestellten Signale ein- und ausschaltetbar ist, und wobei Schubladen-Anzeigemittel vorgesehen sind, mit welchen von Lichtemittiermittel kontaktlos in Richtung auf die zumindest eine Schublade übertragenes/gesendetes Licht an der Schublade zur Anzeige bringbar ist.This object is achieved in a resource of the type mentioned according to the invention by at least one operatively connected to the control of the operating bearing means for signal supply Lichtemittiermittel disposed on the frame or body of the operating bearing means, wherein the at least one Lichtemittiermittel the at least one drawer by means of the provided by the controller Signals can be switched on and off, and wherein drawer display means are provided with which of light emitting means without contact in the direction of the at least one drawer / transmitted light on the drawer can be displayed.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann sich durch mehrere am Gestell oder Korpus des Betriebslagermittels angeordnete Lichtemittiermittel auszeichnen, die jeweils nur einer von mehreren Schubladen zugeordnet sind. Hiermit ist es mit geringem technischen Aufwand möglich, jeder Schublade unabhängig von anderen Schubladen Informationssignale und/oder Statussignale zur optischen Wahrnehmung durch Personen zuzuführen, ohne dass die Lichtemittiermittel an einer der Schubladen angeordnet sein müssen.A preferred embodiment of the invention may be characterized by a plurality of arranged on the frame or body of the operating bearing means light emitting means, which are each associated with only one of a plurality of drawers. This makes it possible with little technical effort, each drawer independent of others To supply drawers information signals and / or status signals for visual perception by persons without the light emitting means must be arranged on one of the drawers.

Es ist zudem bevorzugt, wenn das zumindest eine am Gestell oder am Korpus angeordnete Lichtemittiermittel auf zumindest ein an einer der Schubladen angeordnetes Schubladen-Anzeigemittel gerichtet ist, damit vom Lichtemittiermittel emittiertes Licht an der Schublade an dessen Schubladen-Anzeigemittel als optisch wahrnehmbares Signal anzeigbar ist.It is furthermore preferred if the at least one light emitting means arranged on the frame or on the body is directed onto at least one drawer display means arranged on one of the drawers so that light emitted by the light emitting means can be displayed on the drawer as its optically detectable signal on the drawer display means.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorsehen, dass die Lichtemittiermittel zumindest in etwa vertikal hintereinander angeordnet sind. Eine solche Lösung kann beispielsweise durch eine kostengünstige LED-Leiste realisiert werden, bei der einzelne LEDs in einem Bauteil zusammengefasst und möglichst unabhänig voneinander durch die Steuerung schaltbar sind. LEDs als Lichtemittiermittel eignen sich im Zusammenhang mit der vorliegenden Erfindung aber auch unabhängig von Ausführungsformen, bei denen mehrere Lichtemittiermittel als LED-Leiste zusammengefasst sind. Die Erfindung erfasst somit auch bevorzugte Ausführungsformen mit mehreren, aber separat voneinander angeordneten, LEDs oder auch anderen Lichtemittiermittel.A preferred embodiment of the invention can provide that the light emitting means are arranged at least approximately vertically one behind the other. Such a solution can be realized for example by a cost-effective LED strip, in which individual LEDs are combined in one component and as independent as possible by the controller can be switched. LEDs as Lichtemittiermittel are in the context of the present invention but also independent of embodiments in which a plurality Lichtemittiermittel are summarized as LED strip. The invention thus also encompasses preferred embodiments with a plurality of but separate LEDs or other light emitting means.

Eine für eine kontaklose Übertragung des Lichts besonders günstige kurze Distanz zwischen dem zumindest einen Lichtemittiermittel und einer geeigneten Stelle der jeweiligen Schublade für das zumindest eine Anzeigemittel an der Schublade kann beispielsweise dadurch realisiert werden, dass das zumindest eine Lichtemittiermittel im Bereich einer vorderen Öffnung des Gestells oder Korpus angeordnet ist, aus der die Schubladen aus dem Gestell oder Korpus herausziehbar und einschiebbar sind. Der gleiche Vorteil ergibt sich bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung, bei der sich Lichtemittiermittel bei eingeschobenen Schubladen unmittelbar gegenüber Stirnseiten von Griffleisten der Schubladen befinden.A short distance between the at least one light emitting means and a suitable location of the respective drawer for the at least one display means on the drawer can be realized, for example, by providing the at least one light emitting means in the region of a front opening of the frame or Carcass is arranged, from which the drawers from the frame or body can be pulled out and inserted. The same advantage results in an advantageous development of the invention, in which light emitting means with inserted drawers are located directly opposite ends of gripping strips of the drawers.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Licht von zumindest einem Lichtemittiermittel entweder unmittelbar auf die Schubladenfront oder mittelbar über Lichtleitmittel auf die Schubladenfront geleitet wird. In diesem Zusammenhang soll auch ein Griffelement, beispielsweise eine Griffleiste, welche zur Handhabung der Schublade durch einen Benutzer bei einem Auszug aus und einen Einschub der Schublade in den Schrankkorpus vorgesehen ist, als Teil der Schubladenfront angesehen werden, auch wenn das Griffelement ein separates Bauteil oder eine separate Baugruppe ist. Die somit vom jeweiligen Lichtemittiermittel durch kontaktlose Übertragung des Lichts bzw. der Lichtsignale angezeigte Information über bzw. zur entsprechenden Schublade, kann auf der jeweiligen Schubladenfront als optisch wahrnehmbare Information abgelesen werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the light from at least one light emitting means is directed either directly to the drawer front or indirectly via light conducting means to the drawer front becomes. In this context, a handle element, such as a handle bar, which is provided for handling the drawer by a user in an extract from and a drawer of the drawer in the cabinet body to be considered part of the drawer front, even if the grip element is a separate component or is a separate assembly. The thus indicated by the respective Lichtemittiermittel by contactless transmission of the light or the light signals information about or to the corresponding drawer, can be read on the respective drawer front as optically perceptible information.

Zumindest eine Verdoppelung von auf die Schubladen übertragbaren optischen Informationen und Signalen kann bei einer weiteren bevorzugten erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsform der Erfindung erreicht werden, bei der Lichtemittiermittel an zwei unterschiedlichen, insbesondere gegenüberliegenden, Seiten der Öffnung am Gestell oder Korpus des Betriebslagermittels angeordnet sind.At least a doubling of transferable to the drawers optical information and signals can be achieved in a further preferred inventive embodiment of the invention are arranged in the Lichtemittiermittel on two different, in particular opposite, sides of the opening on the frame or body of the operating bearing means.

Alternativ oder ergänzend lässt sich eine Erhöhung der Anzahl an jeweils einer Schublade darstellbaren unterschiedlichen optischen Informationen auch dadurch erreichen, dass Lichtemittiermittel verwendet werden, welche Licht in unterschiedlichen Farben abgeben können. Unterschiedliche optische Informationen lassen sich in einer weiteren erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsform - alternativ oder ergänzend zu den zuvor beschriebenen Möglichkeiten - mit insbesondere dem gleichen Lichtemittiermittel auch durch von diesem Lichtemittiermittel erzeugte unterschiedliche Blinksequenzen erreichen.Alternatively or additionally, an increase in the number of different optical information which can be displayed in each case in one drawer can also be achieved by using light emitting means which can emit light in different colors. Different optical information can be achieved in a further embodiment according to the invention-alternatively or in addition to the possibilities described above-with, in particular, the same light-emitting means and also by different flashing sequences generated by this light-emitting means.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung können an zumindest einer der Schubladen Mittel vorgesehen sein, mittels denen sich kontaktlos auf die Schublade übertragene optische Signale von einer Empfangsstelle des optischen Signals an der Schublade an eine andere Stelle der Schublade weiterleiten lassen, insbesondere durch zumindest ein an der Schublade oder ihrer Griffleiste angeordnetes Lichtleiterelement. Eine solche bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann insbesondere eine transparente Griffleiste aufweisen, auf deren zumindest eine Stirnseite - im eingeschobenen Zustand der Schublade und im eingeschalteten Zustand des Lichtemittiermittels - das Licht des Lichtemittiermittels gerichtet ist und das Licht insbesondere kontaktlos in die Griffleiste eingeleitet wird. Hiermit kann das Licht an einer beliebigen Stelle der Griffleiste wiedergegeben und damit die entsprechende Information angezeigt werden. Selbstverständlich können anstelle von transparenten auch teiltransparente oder nicht-transparente Griffleisten vorgesehen sein.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, means may be provided on at least one of the drawers, by means of which contactless transmitted to the drawer optical signals can be forwarded from a receiving point of the optical signal to the drawer to another location of the drawer, in particular by at least one the drawer or its handle bar arranged light guide element. Such a preferred embodiment of the invention may in particular comprise a transparent handle bar, on whose at least one end face - in the inserted state of the drawer and in the switched-on state of the light emitting means - the light of Lichtemittiermittels is directed and the light is in particular contactlessly introduced into the handle. Hereby, the light can be reproduced anywhere on the handle bar and thus the corresponding information can be displayed. Of course, instead of transparent and partially transparent or non-transparent handle strips may be provided.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung und der Zeichnung.Further preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the claims, the description and the drawings.

Die Erfindung wird anhand von in den Figuren rein schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert, es zeigen:

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown purely schematically in the figures, in which:

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Schubladenschrank 1, wie er für die Lagerung von Betriebs- und Produktionsmittel, sowie für Werkzeuge im Bereich der Produktion oder des Handwerks weitestgehend üblich ist. Der Schubladenschrank 1 weist einen aus metallischen Blechen gefertigten Korpus 2 auf. Jede der Schubladen 3 ist mit Schubladenauszügen 4 versehen, beispielsweise teleskopartig aufgebauten sogenannten Vollauszügen. Mittels der an sich bekannten Schubladenauszüge können einzelne Schubladen 3 aus dem Korpus 2 herausgezogen und wieder in den Korpus 2 zurück eingefahren werden. Fig. 1 shows a drawer cabinet 1, as it is widely used for the storage of operating and production means, as well as for tools in the field of production or the craft. The drawer cabinet 1 has a body 2 made of metal sheets. Each of the drawers 3 is provided with drawer slides 4, for example, telescopically constructed so-called full extensions. By means of the drawer drawers known per se individual drawers 3 can be pulled out of the body 2 and moved back into the body 2 back.

Der Schubladenschrank 1 kann mit einer Zugriffsberechtigungseinrichtung sowie mit einer Einzelauszugsicherung versehen sein. Mit der Einzelauszugsicherung kann ein gleichzeitiger Auszug von mehr als einer Schublade - und damit auch eine Kippgefahr aufgrund von zu vielen ausgezogener Schubladen 3 - verhindert werden. Mittels der Zugriffsberechtigungseinrichtung kann, vorzugsweise veränderbar, bestimmt werden, welche Schubladen 3 für einen Auszug aus dem Korpus 2 freigegeben und welche Schubladen 3 für einen Auszug gesperrt sind. Für unterschiedliche Benutzer und/oder Gruppen von Benutzern können unterschiedliche Zugriffsberechtigungen vorliegen und vorzugsweise veränderbar eingestellt werden. Die jeweiligen Daten über Zugriffsberechtigungen sind in einer Steuerung des Schubladenschranks 1 und/oder einer gemeinsamen Steuerung einer Mehrzahl von Schubladenschränken 1 veränderbar abgelegt. Sowohl die Zugriffsberechtigungeinrichtung als auch die Einzelauszugsicherung können auf den gleichen Arretiermechanismus zurückgreifen, mit dem eine Schublade 3 und/oder eine Gruppe von Schubladen 3 des Schubladenschranks 1 separat von anderen Schubladen 3 gegen einen Auszug gesperrt werden können. Hierzu kann beispielsweise eine im Bereich der Rückseite der jeweiligen Schublade angeordnete Lasche mit einem im Bereich der rückseitigen Wand des Korpus angeordnetem Verschlussprofil zusammenwirken (in den Figuren nicht dargestellt). Eine in den Korpus 2 eingefahrene Schublade 3 greift hierbei in das Verschlussprofil ein und je nach Stellung des Verschlussprofils kann dieses die Lasche formschlüssig erfassen bzw. hintergreifen oder freigeben, so dass die Lasche und damit die zur jeweiligen Lasche gehörenden Schublade gegen einen Auszug gesperrt ist. Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf diesen hier beschriebenen Typus einer mechanischen Arretierung oder Freigabe durch eine Einzelauszugsicherung beschränkt. Grundsätzlich kann die Erfindung mit jeder beliebigen Einzelauszugsicherung und jeder beliebigen Zugriffsberechtigungseinrichtung genutzt werden. Zudem ist es auch möglich, die Erfindung ohne eine Einzelauszugsicherung zu benutzen.The drawer cabinet 1 may be provided with an access authorization device and with a single pull-out protection. With the single pull-out protection a simultaneous withdrawal of more than one drawer - and thus a risk of tipping due to too many pulled out drawers 3 - can be prevented. By means of the access authorization device can be determined, preferably changeable, which drawers 3 released for an excerpt from the body 2 and which Drawers 3 are locked for an excerpt. For different users and / or groups of users different access permissions can be present and preferably be set changeable. The respective data about access authorizations are changeably stored in a control of the drawer cabinet 1 and / or a common control of a plurality of drawer cabinets 1. Both the access authorization device and the individual pull-out protection can resort to the same locking mechanism with which a drawer 3 and / or a group of drawers 3 of the drawer cabinet 1 can be locked separately from other drawers 3 against an extract. For this purpose, for example, a tab arranged in the region of the rear side of the respective drawer can cooperate with a closure profile arranged in the region of the rear wall of the body (not shown in the figures). A retracted into the body 2 drawer 3 engages this in the closure profile and depending on the position of the closure profile this can capture the tab form fit or engage behind or release, so that the tab and thus belonging to the respective tab drawer is locked against an excerpt. The present invention is not limited to this type of mechanical locking or release by a single pull-out protection described herein. In principle, the invention can be used with any individual pull-out protection and any access authorization device. In addition, it is also possible to use the invention without a single pull-out protection.

Wie in Fig. 1 - 3 dargestellt ist, ist am Korpus 2 im Bereich der vorderen Enden der beiden Seitenwände 6, 7 jeweils eine vertikal ausgerichtete Reihe 8 von Leuchtdioden 9 angeordnet. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind die sich auf jeweils einer Seite der Schubladen 3 angeordneten Leuchtdioden 9 als jeweils einstückiger LED-Streifen 10 oder LED-Band ausgebildet, der sich vorzugsweise in einem Schutzrohr oder einer Schutzhülle zum Schutz vor Beschädigungen befindet. Anstelle von Leuchtdioden 9 als Lichtemittiermittel kann auch jeder andere Typ von Lichtemittiermitteln vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise Glühlampen und/oder Leuchtfolien. Die Leuchtdioden 9 befinden sich an Innenseiten der Ränder 14 der Öffnung des Korpus 2, mit denen der Korpus 2 die Frontseiten 3a der eingeschobenen Schubladen 3 einfasst. In jeder der beiden im wesentlichen parallel zueinander und vertikal ausgerichteten Reihen 8 der Leuchtdioden ist jede Leuchtdiode 9 unabhängig von den anderen Leuchtdioden 9 dieser Reihe 8 von einer Steuerung des Schubladenschranks 1 mittels entsprechenden Signalen ein- und ausschaltbar. Jede Leuchtdiode 9 von jeder der beiden LED-Reihen 8 ist hierbei nur einer Schublade 3 zugeordnet und befindet sich deshalb jeweils unmittelbar gegenüber einer Stirnseite der ihr jeweils zugeordneten Schublade 3. Die somit pro Schublade 3 insgesamt mindestens zwei Leuchtdioden 9 (an jeder Stirnseite 20 der Griffleiste 21 jeweils eine Leuchtdiode) können ebenfalls unabhängig voneinander betätigt werden. Es ist somit insbesondere möglich, mittels der beiden LEDs für jede Schublade 3, gleichzeitig zwei unterschiedliche Informationen zur bzw. über die Schublade zu signalisieren, beispielsweise "kein Zugriff möglich" oder "ausserhalb Betriebszeit". In anderen Ausführungsbeispielen kann auch nur insgesamt eine Reihe 8 von Lichtemittiermitteln oder auch an einer oder beiden Seiten jeweils mehrere Reihen 8 von Lichtemittiermitteln vorgesehen sein.As in Fig. 1-3 is shown, a vertically aligned row 8 of LEDs 9 is arranged on the body 2 in the region of the front ends of the two side walls 6, 7 respectively. In the exemplary embodiment, the light-emitting diodes 9 arranged on one side of the drawers 3 are in each case formed as a one-piece LED strip 10 or LED strip, which is preferably located in a protective tube or protective cover for protection against damage. Instead of light emitting diodes 9 as light emitting means, any other type of light emitting means may be provided, for example incandescent lamps and / or light foils. The LEDs 9 are located on inner sides of the edges 14 of the opening of the body 2, with which the body 2, the front sides 3a of the inserted drawers 3 surrounds. In each of the two substantially parallel to each other and vertically aligned rows 8 of Light emitting diodes 9 is independent of the other light emitting diodes 9 of this row 8 of a control of the drawer cabinet 1 by means of appropriate signals on and off. Each light-emitting diode 9 of each of the two rows of LEDs 8 is assigned to only one drawer 3 and is therefore each directly opposite a front side of their respective associated drawer 3. The thus per drawer 3 a total of at least two light-emitting diodes 9 (at each end face 20 of Handle bar 21 each have a light emitting diode) can also be operated independently. It is thus possible in particular, by means of the two LEDs for each drawer 3, to simultaneously signal two different pieces of information to or about the drawer, for example "no access possible" or "outside operating time". In other embodiments, only a total of a row 8 of light emitting means or on either or both sides of a plurality of rows 8 of light emitting means may be provided.

Ebenso kann in anderen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung pro Schublade auch eine andere Anzahl an Lichtemittiermittel vorgesehen sein, insbesondere zumindest zwei Lichtemittiermittel an zumindest einer oder beiden der Stirnseiten der Schubladen. Ebenso kann in Ausführungsformen der Erfindung auch vorgesehen sein, dass lediglich nur an einer Stirnseite der Schubladen jeweils zumindest ein Lichtemittiermittel vorgesehen ist. In jeder der denkbaren erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können auch andere Lichtemittiermittel als LEDs vorgesehen sein, ebenso können auch in einer Ausführungsform unterschiedliche Typen von Lichtemittiermitteln eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise Glühlampen und/oder Leuchtfolien.Likewise, in other embodiments of the invention, a different number of Lichtemittiermittel per drawer may be provided, in particular at least two Lichtemittiermittel on at least one or both of the end faces of the drawers. Likewise, in embodiments of the invention can also be provided that only at least one light emitting means is provided only at one end face of the drawers. In any of the conceivable embodiments of the invention, other light emitting means may be provided as LEDs, as well as in one embodiment, different types of Lichtemittiermitteln can be used, for example, incandescent and / or light-emitting foils.

Gemäss der bevorzugten Ausführungsform von Fig. 3 ist der LED-Streifen 10 in einer Hinterschneidung 22 des frontseitigen Rahmens des Korpus 2 angeordnet, so dass der LED-Streifen 10 von aussen weitestgehend verdeckt und nicht bzw. kaum sichtbar ist. Wie in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt ist, befinden sich die LEDs 9 des LED-Streifens jeweils unmittelbar gegenüber den Stirnseiten 20 der Griffleisten 21 der Schubladen. An jeder Stirnseite 20 der Griffleiste 21 ist eine Griffleistenabdeckung 23 angebracht. Die Griffleistenabdeckung 23 kann eine zur jeweiligen LED weisende und mit geringem Abstand zur LED angeordnete Oberfläche 24 aufweisen, so dass die der Griffleistenabdeckung 23 zugeordnete LED ihre Lichtemmission zumindest unter anderem in Richtung auf die Oberfläche 24 der Griffleistenabdeckung 23 abgibt und abstrahlt. Die von der jeweiligen LED bestrahlte Oberfläche 24 der Griffleistenabdeckung 23 ist somit beleuchtet und als solche von einem Benutzer des Schubladenschranks erkennbar. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel haben Griffleistenabdeckungen 23 der Schubladen die Funktion von Schubladen-Anzeigemittel, welche das emittierte Licht an der jeweilige Schublade zur Anzeige bringen. Da die jeweilige LED eine bestimmte Information signalisiert, wie beispielsweise eine bestehende Zugriffsberechtigung für diese Schublade, oder "Störung", oder "Ablauf der Zugriffszeit", kann ein Benutzer diese optisch wahrnehmbare Information an der entsprechenden Stirnseite 20 der Griffleiste 21 ablesen bzw. dieser entnehmen. Um die Erkennbarkeit des optischen Signals an der Stirnseite 20 der jeweiligen Griffleiste 21 zu verbessern, kann die Stirnseite 20 mit (besonders stark) reflektierendem Material versehen sein. Ebenso könnte eine Schrägstellung oder eine Wölbung der Oberfläche 24 Stirnseite 20 vorgesehen sein, so dass das von der jeweiligen LED auf die Stirnseite gesendete Licht nicht entlang einer orthogonal zur Oberfläche der Stirnseite ausgerichteten optischen Achse auf diese auftritt und das auftreffende Licht - in Bezug auf Frontseite 3a der Schublade 3 - nach vorne vor die Schublade 3 reflektiert wird.According to the preferred embodiment of Fig. 3 the LED strip 10 is arranged in an undercut 22 of the front frame of the body 2, so that the LED strip 10 is largely hidden from the outside and not or barely visible. As in Fig. 2 and 3 is shown, the LEDs 9 of the LED strip are each directly opposite the end faces 20 of the handles 21 of the drawers. At each end face 20 of the handle bar 21, a handle strip cover 23 is attached. The handle strip cover 23 may have a facing the respective LED and arranged at a small distance from the LED surface 24, so that the Grip cover 23 associated LED emits their light emission at least among others in the direction of the surface 24 of the handle strip cover 23 and radiates. The irradiated by the respective LED surface 24 of the handle strip cover 23 is thus illuminated and recognizable as such by a user of the drawer cabinet. In this embodiment, handle bar covers 23 of the drawers have the function of drawer indicator means for displaying the emitted light at the respective drawer. Since the respective LED signals a specific information, such as an existing access authorization for this drawer, or "disorder", or "expiration of access time", a user can read this visually perceptible information on the corresponding end 20 of the handle bar 21 and remove this , In order to improve the recognizability of the optical signal on the end face 20 of the respective grip strip 21, the end face 20 may be provided with (particularly strong) reflective material. Likewise, an inclination or a curvature of the surface 24 front side 20 may be provided so that the light emitted from the respective LED on the front light does not occur along an orthogonal to the surface of the end face aligned optical axis and the incident light - with respect to the front 3a of the drawer 3 - is reflected forward in front of the drawer 3.

In einer weiteren, nicht dargstellten, Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind wiederum LEDs oder andere Lichtemittiermittel im Bereich der Öffnung des Korpus angeordnet. Auch hier strahlen die LEDs Licht in Richtung auf die Stirnseiten von ihnen jeweils zugeordneten Griffleisten der Schubladen, wobei die Lichtemittiermittel durch die jeweilige Steuerung betätigt, also an- und ausgeschaltet, werden. Im Unterschied zur zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsform der Erfindung, wird jedoch das auf die Stirnseite der jeweiligen Griffleiste auftreffende Licht von dort aus nicht reflektiert, sondern von der Stirnseite der Griffleiste aus in die Griffleiste hineingeleitet. Die Griffleiste kann zumindest in einem Teilbereich von ihr transparent gestaltet sein, so dass das in die Griffleiste eingeleitete Licht von aussen erkennbar bzw. optisch wahrnehmbar ist. Zudem kann vorgesehen sein, dass Lichtleitermittel in oder an der Griffleiste vorhanden sind, mit denen sich Licht in einen Bereich in Richtung zur Mitte oder der gegenüberliegenden anderen Stirnseite der jeweiligen Schublade leiten lässt, um an einer beliebigen, aber vorbestimmten, Stelle der Griffleiste oder der Schubladenfront zur Anzeige gebracht zu werden. Hierdurch kann das vom Lichtemittiermittel erzeugte Licht kontaktlos übertragen und auch an weit vom jeweiligen Lichtemittierelement entfernten Stellen an der Schublade bzw. deren Griffleiste angezeigt werden. Ebenso kann hiermit gegebenenfalls auch die Griffleiste über ihre gesamte Länge beleuchtet werden.In another, not dargstellten, embodiment of the invention, in turn LEDs or other Lichtemittiermittel are arranged in the region of the opening of the body. Again, the LEDs emit light in the direction of the front sides of them respectively associated gripping strips of the drawers, wherein the light emitting means actuated by the respective control, so on and off, are. In contrast to the previously described embodiment of the invention, however, the light impinging on the end face of the respective grip strip is not reflected from there, but is guided from the end face of the grip strip into the grip strip. The handle bar can be made transparent to it at least in a portion of it, so that the light introduced into the handle bar light from the outside is recognizable or visually perceptible. In addition, it can be provided that light guide means are present in or on the handle bar, with which light can be directed in an area towards the center or the opposite other end side of the respective drawer to at any, but predetermined, location of the handle or the Drawer front to be brought to the display. As a result, the light generated by the light emitting means can be transmitted without contact and displayed at locations far away from the respective light emitting element on the drawer or its handle bar. Likewise, if necessary, also the handle bar can be illuminated over its entire length.

In anderen erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsformen, kann anstelle einer Stirnseite einer Griffleiste auch ein anderes Element der Schublade, insbesondere der Schubladenfront, von zumindest einem seitlich am Korpusrahmen angeordneten Lichtemittiertmittel beleuchtet werden. Ebenso können anstelle einer Einleitung von Licht in eine Griffleiste, Licht in ein anderes an der Schublade angeordnete Element eingeleitet werden, durch welches das jeweilige Licht von aussen als zur jeweiligen Schublade gehörend erkennbar ist. Ausserdem kann anstelle in oder an der Griffleiste auch an der Frontseite ein Lichtleiterelement angeordnet sein, mittels dem kontaktlos Licht des nicht an der Schublade angeordneten Lichtemittiermittels aufgenommen und dieses Licht an eine beliebige Stelle der Schubladenfront weitergeleitet wird, um dort zur Anzeige gebracht zu werden. Schliesslich kann das von einem oder mehreren Lichtemittierelementen stammende Licht auch auf die Frontseite der jeweiligen Schublade selbst abgegeben werden, um dort optisch wahrnehmbare Signale zur Übermittlung von Informationen über die jeweilige Schublade bereit zu stellen.In other embodiments according to the invention, instead of an end face of a handle, another element of the drawer, in particular the drawer front, can be illuminated by at least one light emitting means arranged laterally on the frame. Likewise, instead of an introduction of light into a handle, light can be introduced into another element arranged on the drawer, by means of which the respective light can be seen from outside as belonging to the respective drawer. In addition, instead of in or on the handle bar and on the front side a light guide element may be arranged by the non-contact light of the not arranged on the drawer Lichtemittiermittels received and this light is forwarded to any point on the drawer front to be displayed there. Finally, the light originating from one or more light emitting elements can also be emitted to the front of the respective drawer itself in order to provide there optically detectable signals for the transmission of information about the respective drawer.

In jeder der erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsformen, insbesondere bei den zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsformen, kann bei Bedarf auch mehr als nur ein Lichtemittierelement vorgesehen sein. Es können insbesondere an zumindest einer, oder mehreren oder sämtlichen Schubladen, zumindest zwei oder mehr Lichtleiterelemente jeweils einer Schublade zugeordnet sein. Jedem Lichtleiterelement kann hierbei die Anzeige von unterschiedlichen Informationen zugeordnet sein, wie beispielsweise "ausserhalb der Betriebszeit". Zur besseren Unterscheidung der unterschiedlichen Informationen, können unterschiedliche Lichtleiterelemente einer Schublade Licht in unterschiedlichen Farben aussenden. Ergänzend oder alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, dass zur Anzeige unterschiedlicher Informationen ein Lichtleiterelement unterschiedliche Lichtsignale anzeigt, beispielsweise Blinksequenzen mit unterschiedlichen An- und/oder Ausschaltzeiten und/oder unterschiedliche Helligkeiten, veränderbare Helligkeiten, Farbwechsel, insbesondere stufenlose und/oder harte Farbwechsel.In each of the embodiments according to the invention, in particular in the previously described embodiments, more than just one light emitting element can be provided if required. In particular, at least one or more or all of the drawers may have at least two or more optical waveguide elements each associated with a drawer. Each light guide element may in this case be assigned the display of different information, such as "outside the operating time". To better distinguish the different information, different light guide elements of a drawer can emit light in different colors. Additionally or alternatively it can be provided that for displaying different information, a light guide element displays different light signals, for example, flashing sequences with different on and / or off times and / or different brightnesses, changeable brightnesses, color changes, in particular stepless and / or hard color changes.

In weiteren erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsbeispielen kann anstelle eines Korpus lediglich ein Gestell vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise ein zu einem Regal gehörendes Gestell. Sämtliche zuvor beschriebenen Merkmale und Eigenschaften der zuvor beschriebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können entweder teilweise oder vollständig auch bei solchen Ausführungsformen vorgesehen sein.
