Furthermore, the present invention relates to a grid back shelf system (10).

Description

The present invention relates to a connection clip for a grid back wall shelf system and a grid back wall shelving system.

Shelf systems are already known from the prior art, which are used for example in markets for the sale of goods.

Such a shelving system is for example in the DE 10 2013 114 065 A1 shown, wherein the shelving system, a rear wall, stand and floors, which are formed by means of brackets on a rear wall of wire mesh has.

The DE 77 36 356 U1 discloses a plastic molding for supporting stacked, same wire baskets.

Furthermore, from the GB 2 314 833 A a wire container known which connects by means of several plastic clips different wall elements, which are formed from wires.

The DE 36 34 543 A1 discloses a connecting element for wire racks or shelves of grid-shaped wire mesh, wherein the connecting element is formed as an angle profile, in which on both sides a recess for hooking the wire of the wire mesh runs.

The DE 85 05 334 U1 discloses a fastener device for goods holders at showcases for merchandise presentation, wherein wire elements can be clipped into recesses in the fastening device.

The DE 200 21 428 U1 discloses a coupling element for grid structures of round rods, such as bookshelves, shelves, trolleys or the like, wherein the coupling element consists essentially of a cuboid block, in which two corresponding surfaces at least one still for insertion of one end of a bottom of the construction and on the other surface at least a groove for engaging a side part are formed.

From the EP 0 616 500 B1 is further a carrier for suspending shelves and the like. Known, consisting of at least three vertical bars, two of which By means of horizontally arranged connecting pieces by butt welding are joined together so that a ladder-like support member is formed, wherein the at least one further rod is connected by at least one support strut with the support member via a plurality of individual welds.

It would be desirable not to use in shelving systems of the type mentioned as previously screwed or welded joints, but here to create a simple and easier to install connection option.

This object is achieved by a connection clip for a lattice rear wall shelving system with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, it is provided that a connection clip for a lattice backrest shelving system with at least a first Einklipsschnappelement for clipping on a grid back wall portion of the lattice back shelf system and at least one Hanging hook is provided for hanging in a supporting shelf element of the lattice back shelf system.

The invention is based on the idea to zusammenzuklipsen elements to be connected to the grid back-shelf system with a connection clip with clip connections and to dispense with screw and / or welded joints.

The combination of a Einklipsschnappelement in conjunction with a hook on the one hand hooking into a supporting shelf element of the lattice backrest shelving system ensures safe, at the same time it is possible by Einklipsschnappelement, the grid back wall section to be fastened securely over the connection clip with the supporting shelf element of the lattice back shelf system connect to.

A secure and reliable connection of elements of the grid back-shelf system is thereby ensured, in particular, the connection clip can be easily manufactured and easily assembled.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the connection clip is at least partially made of plastic. This results in the advantage that a cost-effective production is possible.

In particular, the connection clip can at least partially consist of polyamide. This allows a simultaneously simple production and a reliable connection with a long service life, since the material polyamide retains its properties over a longer service life.

In addition, it can be provided that the connection clip is designed as an injection molded part. As a result, a simple and inexpensive production is possible in large quantities.

Furthermore, it can be provided that at least one reinforcing rib is provided on the outside of the connection clip facing away from the clip-in snap-in element. This improves the stability of the connection clip.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the Einklipsschnappelement is aligned parallel to the hook. As a result, a simple insertion and mounting of grid back wall sections is made possible.

Furthermore, it can be provided that a second clipping clip element is provided. This makes it possible, for example, to realize additional Einklips- and connection points.

The first and second clip-in snap elements may be arranged parallel to each other. This makes it possible, for example, grid sections which have two parallel bars, to receive in the first and second Einklipsschnappelement accordingly.

The first and second clip-in snap elements may have different inner radii. This results in the advantage that bars with different radii can be attached to a support element. Possible radii may be, for example, in the range of about 1-20 mm, preferably between about 2-5 mm.

Furthermore, it can be provided that an additional Einklipsschnappelement is provided, which is arranged perpendicular to the first Einklipsschnappelement.

This results in the possibility to make the snap contour on the connection clip such that during assembly in two different directions through the Wire mesh must be retracted in the connection clip. As a result, a self-assurance is achieved, which prevents unintentional loosening. This arrangement can also be designed in such a way that they can counteract accesses from the direction of the basic units as far as possible.

The Einklipsschnappelemente, in particular the first and the second Einklipsschnappelement, but also the additional Einklipsschnappelement may be formed like a channel. It can be provided in particular that the Einklipsschnappelemente are channel-like and / or partially cylindrical. As a result, an advantageous recording of cylindrically shaped bars in the Einklipsschnappelemente is possible. In addition, this also improves the grip of the grid sections in the Einklipsschnappelementen.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the additional clip-in snap-in element has an opening cross-section which is aligned with the recess or the opening cross-section of the recess of the hooking hook. This ensures that the offset of the suspension bolts and the bars of the grid back wall of the rack system can be kept small.

In addition, it is possible that the hooks are designed as Doppeleinhänghaken with two hook hook openings facing away from each other. This makes it possible to arrange the connection clip in several orientations. The possible applications are thereby extended and it is possible, for example, to arrange the connection clip mirror-inverted. Thus, only one type of connection clips is needed, which simplifies the production of the connection clip, but also the assembly of the lattice rear wall shelf system. The hook can be formed in a wing-like, protruding from the base body wall of the connecting clip. The hook hook openings are arranged in the wall with openings facing away from each other.

In addition, it is conceivable that in addition to the first additional Einklipsschnappelement another second additional Einklipsschnappelement is provided, which is arranged perpendicular to the first Einklipsschnappelement and whose opening faces the opening of the first additional Einklipsschnappelements. This will also be done the application possibilities of the connection clip as a whole expanded and the mirror-inverted use of the connection clip improved. Because the additional Einklipsschnappelemente can be brought in the same direction as the corresponding hooking hook opening of the hook hooks with the bars of the lattice back shelf system in engagement.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a grid rear wall shelving system with a grid back wall and with at least one bearing shelf element and a connection clip.

Fig. 1 shows in an exploded view in the front view of a lattice rear wall shelving system 10 here with three lattice rear walls 12 and four supporting elements fourteenth

The two outer grid walls 12 are of identical construction and each have two supporting elements 14.

The lattice rear walls 12 consist of a plurality of cross-like arranged wire mesh rods, which form a total of a rectangular rear wall.

The load-bearing elements 14 are arranged vertically on the outer longitudinal sides of the grid rear walls 12, which form the two outer grid rear walls 12 of the assembled shelving system 10.

They are perpendicular to the respective lattice rear walls 12th

The supporting elements 14 are formed here as support columns. For this purpose, for example, a construction of flat steel elements can be used, see Fig. 4 ,

In order to connect the respective outer grid rear walls 12 with the supporting elements 14 with the central grid rear wall 12, a plurality of connecting elements 20 are provided, which are closer in the FIGS. 2 to 4 are shown.

Fig. 2 shows in perspective view the connection clip 20 for the grid back shelf system 10 according to Fig. 1 ,

The connecting clip 20 in this case has a hooking hook 22, a first Einklipsschnappelement 24, a parallel thereto arranged second Einklipsschnappelement 26 and a perpendicular to the hooks 22 and the first and second Einklipsschnappelement 24 and 26 arranged additional Einklipsschnappelement 28 on.

The connecting clip 20 is made of plastic, here in the illustrated embodiment of polyamide.

The connection clip 20 is also designed as an injection molded part.

The first and the second clip-in snap-in elements 24 and 26 have different inner radii, wherein the inner radius of the first clip-in snap element 24 is greater than that of the second clip-in snap element 26.

This is basically also conceivable in another configuration, i. that the inner radius of the second Einklipsschnappelements 26 is greater than that of the first Einklipsschnappelements 24th

The inner radii can be selected in a range between about 1-20 mm. In the embodiment shown here, the radii are selected in the range between about 2-5 mm.

The Einklipsschnappelemente 24 and 26 are groove-like formed with part-cylindrical opening cross-section and suitable for receiving the bars of the rear walls 12.

Like this further Fig. 3 can be seen, the opening or the opening cross-section of the additional Einklipsschnappelements 28 is aligned with the recess of the hook 22th

Like this further Fig. 3 can be seen, 20 two mutually parallel reinforcing ribs 30 are provided on the outside of the connecting clip. Alternatively, these reinforcing ribs 30 "may be V-shaped, as is known Fig. 11 is apparent.

These reinforcing ribs 30 are thus located on the outside of the connecting clip 20, that is, facing away from the side on which the Einklipsschnappelemente 24 and 26 are provided.

Fig. 4 shows the function of the connection clip 20 and the assembly of the connection clip 20 and the elements of the grid back shelf system 10th

The horizontally arranged grid bars of the central grid rear wall 12 are inserted into the additional snap-in clip element 28, whereby slipping of the connection clip 20 is prevented and a secure fixation of the connection clip 20 on the central grid rear wall 12 is made possible.

Then, the connection clip 20 is suspended from a horizontal grid bar of the outer grid rear wall 12 or the supporting shelf element 14 located there.

Thus, the snap contour on the connection clip 20 is designed such that during assembly in two different directions through the wire mesh grid back wall 12 has to be retracted into the connection clip 20. As a result, a self-assurance is achieved, which prevents unintentional loosening. This arrangement can also be designed in such a way that they can counteract access from the direction of the basic units, so the grid rear wall 12 or the supporting elements 14 or the not shown in detail Einhängeböden the grid back wall shelving system as possible.

Fig. 5 shows a side detail view of a further embodiment of a grid back wall shelf system 10 'according to the invention with connecting clips 20 according to the invention.

Fig. 6 shows a plan view of the grid back shelf system 10 'according to Fig. 5 with the cut AA and Fig. 7 a representation of the section AA as in Fig. 6 specified.

Fig. 8 further shows a perspective view of a portion of the grid back shelf system according to Fig. 5 ,

The grid back shelf system 10 'has all the structural and functional features, as in the Fig. 1-4 shown grid back shelf system 10th

Differences exist, in particular, in that the grid back shelf system 10 'has other wire thicknesses at the grid back wall 12' and the supporting elements 14 ', here embodied as column 14'.

The grid rear walls 12 'are also provided with a different screening. This can basically be selected in a suitable manner. For example, one possible dimension for the grid may be in the range of about 40-60 mm, e.g. at about 50 mm.

The column 14 'here has two rectangular profiles 14a' and in the middle a ladder-like wire structure 14b '. The ladder-like wire structure 14b 'has a plurality of short transverse struts 14c' and two longitudinal struts 14d '.

The rectangular profiles 14a 'are connected to the transverse struts 14c' by means of a respective wire coil 14e '.

The connecting element 20 is basically constructed as in particular in the Fig. 2 and 3 shown.

The connecting element 20 is hooked with the hooks 22 in the transverse struts 14 c '.

However, it is conceivable, for example, here to use fiber-reinforced plastics. Another option for dimensions and radii is also possible.

As in Fig. 6 it can be seen, the connecting element 20 can thus be used in principle in lattice back wall shelving systems 10 ', which have no rigid lateral base unit (eg, in contrast to the embodiment as in the Fig. 1-4 ).

Fig. 9 shows a further perspective view of another embodiment of a connecting clip 20 "according to the invention.

The connection clip 20 "has all the structural and functional features as the connection clip 20 according to the above in connection with the Fig. 1-4 shown embodiment.

• Der Einhänghaken 22" ist als Doppeleinhänghaken mit zwei voneinander abgewandten Einhänghakenöffnungen 32" ausgebildet.

However, the following differences exist:

• The hooks 22 "is designed as a double hooks with two hook hook openings 32" facing away from each other.

The hooks 22 "is formed in a wing-like, projecting from the base wall 34" of the connecting clip 20 ".

The hook hook openings 32 "are arranged in the wall 34", each with openings facing away from each other.

In addition to the first additional clip-in element 28 ", a further second additional clip-in element 36" is provided.

The additional Einklipsschnappelement 36 "is perpendicular to the first Einklipsschnappelement 24" and also perpendicular to the second Einklipsschnappelement 26 "arranged.

The opening of the additional Einklipsschnappelements 36 "facing the opening of the first additional Einklipsschnappelements 28".

Fig. 10 shows a side view of the connection clip 20 "according to Fig. 9 ,

As in Fig. 10 1, the opening or opening cross section of the additional clip-in snap element 28 "is aligned with a first hooking hook opening 32" of the hooking hook 22 "and the opening or opening cross-section of the additional clip-in snap element 28" with a second hooking hook opening 32 "of the hooking hook 22".

Fig. 11 shows a rear view of the connection clip 20 "according to Fig. 9 , Again, two reinforcing ribs 30 "are provided, which are, however, arranged in a V-shape.

Fig. 12 shows a view of the mounted connection clip 20 "according to Fig. 9 in another embodiment of a grid back shelf system 10 ".

• Der Verbindungsclip 20" erlaubt es durch seine Ausgestaltung, dass er in mehreren Orientierungen einfach angeordnet und montiert werden kann. Die Einsatzmöglichkeiten werden hierdurch erweitert und es beispielsweise möglich, den Verbindungsclip 20" spiegelverkehrt um 180° gedreht im Gitterrückwand-Regalsystem 10" anzuordnen.

The connection clip 20 "has the following additional functionality:

• By virtue of its design, the connection clip 20 "allows it to be easily arranged and mounted in multiple orientations, thereby expanding the possibilities of use and making it possible, for example, to arrange the connection clip 20" mirror-inverted by 180 ° in the lattice rear wall shelf system 10 ".

The additional Einklipsschnappelemente 28 "and 36" can in the same direction as the corresponding Einhänghakenöffnung 32 "(ie the identically oriented Einhänghakenöffnung 32", ie also after "down" or "up" hook hook opening) of the hook 22 "with the grid bars of the grid back shelf system 10 "are engaged.

Thus, only one type of connection clips is needed, which simplifies the production of the connection clip, but also the assembly of the lattice rear wall shelf system.
