Fig. 1 shows a workshop trolley 1 with a body 3, which has a top 3O, a bottom 3U, a front and a back 3V, 3R and two opposite side surfaces 3S. A portion of the top 3O forms a work surface 30A. Wheels 5 for moving the body 3 are arranged on the underside 3U. Seven drawers 7 are slidably arranged in the body in order to store tools and the like therein, the drawers 7 being accessible from the front 3V in order to open or close them for removing or storing tools. At the in Fig. 1 A holding rod 15 is arranged on the left side surface 1SF in order to move the workshop trolley 1. In addition to the work surface 30A, a compartment division 17 with several compartments is formed in the upper side 30 of the body in order to accommodate small parts therein.

Three carriers 11 are arranged on the workshop trolley 1: One in Fig. 1 left carrier 11 carries two spray bottles 13SF, one in Fig. 1 middle carrier 11 carries two aerosol cans 13A and one in Fig. 1 right support 11 two small parts boxes 13K.

Fig. 2 FIG. 13 shows a perspective rear view of the workshop trolley from FIG Fig. 1 . Fig. 3 shows an enlarged detail of the rear view of the workshop trolley 1 of FIG Fig. 1 from a first direction and Fig. 4 from a second direction.

As in the Figures 2 to 4 shown, a carrier receptacle 9 in the form of a carrier rail 9TS, in this case an extruded aluminum profile, is attached to the rear 3R of the workshop trolley 1, in the present case the carrier rail 9TS is screwed to the rear 3R of the body. The carrier rail 9TS extends over the entire width of the rear side 3R of the body 3, ie from one side surface 3S to the other, opposite side surface 3S. In the Support rail 9TS are two grooves 9TSN in which sliding blocks are arranged.

The carriers 11 have a receiving end 11A for connection to the carrier receptacle 9 in the form of the carrier rail 9TS and an opposing carrier end 11T for carrying work equipment 13, in this case the aerosol can 13A, the small parts box 13K and the spray bottles 13SF.

In the present case, the receiving end 11A has four through-bores in order to screw a screw into a slot nut in the grooves 9TSN through them, thereby fastening the receiving end 11A to the carrier rail 9TS, whereby the carrier 11 is fastened to the workshop trolley 1.

The opposite carrying ends 11T are each configured to carry a work item and make it available for a user.

The supporting 11T of the in Fig. 1 The left support 11 is essentially an aluminum tube 19 running perpendicular to the top 30, at the upper end of which a wire frame 21 running perpendicular to it is arranged, the wire of which forms four rectangles of equal size (alternatively circular or oval recesses), more precisely: the circumference of four rectangles of equal size. Spray bottles 11SF can be suspended in this wire frame 21. The supporting 11T of the in Fig. 1 middle support 11 forms a receptacle for two aerosol cans 13A: A lower flat notch of the support 11 forms a closed installation surface for the aerosol cans 13A and an upper, circumferential notch of the support 11 forms a lateral holder for each of the aerosol cans 13A, ie it forms two square Open spaces, the respective circumference of which forms a lateral holder for the respective aerosol can 13A. The supporting 11T of the in Fig. 1 The right-hand support forms a linear edge that functions as a tongue onto which the groove of a small parts box 13K can be plugged. A small parts box as shown in FIG DE102015206606 is described. At the end of the in Fig. 1 Objects other than the spray bottles can also be attached to the left carrier, for example lamps in order to illuminate the upper side 30 of the body.

The in Fig. 1 middle beam 11 and the in Fig. 1 right supports 11 are each made from a flat sheet metal section. The in Fig. 1 Right support 11 is a flat sheet metal section, the receiving end 11A of which has the four holes for inserting screws for connection with slot nuts in the grooves 9TSN of the grooves of the support rail 9TS. The in Fig. 1 middle carrier 11 is also a flat sheet metal section, from the middle area a rectangular one Section was bent out through 90 ° to form the lower notch for setting up aerosol cans 13A. First, two square surfaces were punched out of an upper section of the carrier, with a thin edge remaining in each case, and the two edges of the squares were then bent by 90 ° to form the lateral holder for the aerosol cans.

The Figures 5 and 6th show a perspective front or rear view of four different carriers 11, of which the one in FIG Fig. 5 Left carrier 11 for carrying a laptop 13L, the carrier 11 next to it for carrying a writing pad 13SU, the carrier 11 next to it for inserting screwdrivers 13S into recesses of a horizontal section of the carrier 11 and the carrier 11 next to it for inserting a hammer head into a recess of a horizontal one Section of the carrier 11 is formed.

All carriers 11 of the Fig. 5 are made from sheet metal by punching and bending. The supports 11 each have four recesses (through holes) at their receiving end 11A in order to screw one groove of the support rail 9TS through these screws into slot nuts. The wearers 11T of the carriers 11 have the corresponding shape for receiving the work equipment 13, ie the laptop 13L, the desk pad, the screwdriver 13S or the hammer head 13H.

Figure 7 shows a workshop trolley 1 in an alternative embodiment. The rear side 3R of the workshop trolley 1 is designed as a perforated sheet, ie as a flat sheet in which the same locking recesses 9R are formed in a regular, matrix-like pattern. The receiving ends 11A of the carriers 11 that fit the workshop trolley 1 are designed as flat sheet metal sections which have plug-in elements 11S that fit the latching recesses 9R. To connect the carrier 11 to the workshop trolley 1, the plug-in elements 11S are inserted into the locking recesses 9R. In this embodiment, the number and position of the latching recesses determine the connection options between the carrier 11 and the workshop trolley 1. Different carriers 11 can have different arrangements of plug-in elements 11S, for example depending on the load capacity of the carrier 11 or the width of the carrier 11 in the direction of the rear 3R .

A carrier receptacle 9 is thus generally attached to one of the side surfaces 3S and / or to the rear 3R and offers the possibility of connecting at least one carrier 11. In a first embodiment, the carrier receptacle 9 can have only one carrier connection point 9TV for connecting precisely one carrier 11 . In this case, the carrier receptacle 9 is adapted precisely to a specific carrier 11. In a second In the embodiment, however, the carrier receptacle 9 can have several carrier connection points 9TV that are separate from one another for the respective connection to exactly one carrier 11. The respective carrier connection points 9 can in this case advantageously all be constructed in the same way in terms of construction. In this case, the carriers 11 can be attached to each of the individual carrier connection points 9TV. However, should at least one carrier 11 require a different connection to the carrier receptacle 9 than the other carriers 11, the respective carrier connection points 9TV can be adapted to a specific carrier 11. Thus, for example, it can be provided that the at least one other built-up carrier 11 is always arranged at a specific point, for example always in the middle of the side surfaces 3S and / or the rear side 3R. In a third embodiment, the carrier receptacle 9 can have at least one continuous carrier connection point 9TV, in which at least one carrier 11 can be fastened at different points of the carrier connection point 9TV. An example of such a continuous carrier connection point 9TV is a carrier rail 9TS in which the carrier 11 can be fastened along the carrier rail 9TS to any length value in the longitudinal direction of the carrier rail 9TS. The support rail 9TS can have such a length in the longitudinal direction that not only one support 11, but several supports 11 can be attached to the support rail 9TS. The carrier rail 9TS thus does not offer discrete carrier connection points 9TV, ie only prescribed at individual points, for the carrier 11, but a continuous spectrum of connection possibilities, ie a continuous spectrum along the longitudinal direction of the carrier rail 9TS. In a fourth embodiment, the two and three variants described above can be combined: In this embodiment there is thus at least one carrier connection point 9TV (embodiment two) and at least one continuous carrier connection point 9TV (embodiment three).

The carrier connection points 9TV for connecting the carrier receptacle 9 to the carrier 11 can be designed in various ways: the receiving end 11A of the carrier 11 can be detachable with the carrier connection point 9TV, for example via a screw or plug connection, or not detachable, for example via a rivet connection , or slidably, for example. Via a tongue and groove connection. In the displaceable variant, the receiving end 11A of the carrier 11 can be inserted into the carrier rail 9TS, for example via a tongue and groove connection, and then be displaceable along the carrier rail 9TS.

The receiving ends 11A of the carrier 11 for connection to the carrier receptacle 9 of the workshop trolley 1 can be constructed identically or differently. In other words, all of a set of supports 11 for the workshop trolley 1 can have the same receiving end 11A. Alternatively, at least one receiving end 11A of a carrier 11 can be formed differently be. However, all of the receiving ends 11A of the supports 11 for a workshop trolley 1 are advantageously formed identically.

A supporting end 11T of a carrier 11 can have a holder for holding a suction cup for connection to a car or glass pane, the holder preferably being mounted so as to be vertically displaceable and pivotable. By using several such carriers, a car or window pane can be held horizontally or vertically on the workshop trolley 1 in order to process it.

The carrier mount 9 of the Figures 1-4 is shown as a support rail 9TS with two grooves 9TSN and made from an aluminum profile. If the carrier receptacle 9 is generally provided in the form of a rail, lines of any kind can additionally run in the rail in order to supply tools, lamps or machines.

Accordingly, a power and / or water and / or air pressure line can run at least in sections in such a rail. With the current carried in the rail, lamps, machines or sockets on or in the workshop trolley 1 can be supplied with electricity. Spray bottles 13SF or the like can be refilled with the water pipe routed in the rail (from a water connection or a canister in the workshop trolley). Machines, for example pneumatic screwdrivers, can be operated with the air pressure guided in the rail, or the compressed air can be used for cleaning, for example machines or tools, via a nozzle.

A carrier 11 can have receptacles for machines, tools or lamps, which are supplied with electricity and / or water and / or air pressure from the lines guided in the rail. The rail thus provides corresponding couplings at which the power and / or water and / or air pressure lines end, for example a 230V socket or a water tap or a compressed air coupling. The machines, tools or lamps have plugs for connection to the couplings, for example a 230V plug or an opening for filling water into the spray bottle 13SF or a compressed air coupling.

The in Fig. 1 left carrier 11 has an in Fig. 1 profile bar running from top to bottom, the carrying end 11T of which carries the wire frame for carrying the spray bottles 13SF. This profile bar can either be attached to the support rail 9TS at different heights or it can be a telescopic profile bar in order to arrange the wire frame at different distances from the top 3O of the body.
