EP3685705B1 - Operating device with two profiles and a wall - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to an operating facility, in particular a cabinet, shelf, workbench or the like.

From the US disclosure document US 2001/0017009 A1 a profile for an operating facility and an operating facility are known. The profile is designed as an extruded profile. The profile has a generally square cross section and two L-shaped grooves facing away from each other are provided on each side surface of the profile. The grooves are intended to insert a fitting with two L-shaped projections pointing away from each other. A wall plate can then be attached to the fitting. Operating equipment, such as desks, shelves and the like, can be constructed using the profile and the fittings.

From the French patent specification FR 1,432,292 a profile for setting up operating facilities and an operating facility, especially a shelf, is known. The profile has a generally rectangular cross-section and has on each of its side surfaces two L-like projections which point away from one another and are continuous over the entire length of the profile. A further web arranged parallel to an L-like projection forms a groove together with the L-like projection. A wall plate which has a milled groove can be inserted into this groove, with the L-like projection then engaging in the groove. The wall plate can be pushed in from one end face of the profile or pivoted into the groove.

From the US patent specification US 6,185,887 B1 An extruded profile with an octagonal cross-section and undercut grooves in each of the side surfaces is known. Wall elements can be attached to the extruded profile, which can then be attached to the profile using turnbuckles, which in turn engage in the undercut grooves.

From the US patent specification US 4,645,276 a sheet metal profile is known for building shelves. The sheet metal profile has two L-shaped grooves, with a wall delimiting the groove being provided with square recesses for inserting screw bolts. The profile can be used, for example, to build workshop trolleys or shelves.

From the French disclosure document FR 2,142,683 a profile for setting up operating equipment, for example shelves, is known. The profile has a generally square cross-section and is provided with recesses which extend over a side edge of the profile and which have a slot-shaped extension. Suitably shaped hooks can be hung into the slot-shaped extension, which in turn are connected to supports. The invention is intended to improve an operating facility in terms of flexible, quick and cost-effective production.

According to the invention, an operating device with the features of claim 1 is provided for this purpose. A profile for constructing operating equipment, in particular cabinets, shelves, workbenches and the like, has at least one groove with an L-shaped or T-shaped cross section that extends in the longitudinal direction of the profile, is continuous over the length of the profile and is open towards the outside of the profile . The L-shaped or T-shaped cross section of the groove is seen parallel to the longitudinal direction of the profile. Corresponding folded panels can be inserted into the L-shaped or T-shaped groove of the profile without tools, for example by inserting them from the end face of the profile. The panels can be securely attached to the profile without additional fasteners. For example, side walls, rear walls and the like can be inserted into the L-shaped or T-shaped groove of the profile in this way. In the case of a T-shaped groove, L-shaped folded panels can be used in two different positions rotated by 180°. As stated, the correspondingly folded panels can be inserted into the L-shaped or T-shaped groove from the front side of the profile. This creates a very secure hold. Also possible within the scope of the invention is the lateral turning or pivoting into the L-shaped or T-shaped groove about a pivot axis which runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the profile. This lateral turning or pivoting can be combined with locking the plate on the profile or, if necessary, with the attachment of an additional fastener.

The profile has at least two L-shaped or T-shaped grooves.

In this way, two correspondingly folded plates can be inserted into the L-shaped or T-shaped grooves, for example a side wall and a rear wall. The profile according to the invention can therefore be used as a vertical column of an operating facility. Depending on the location, the profile can then be rotated so that to build a cabinet with four vertical columns and two side walls as well as a front wall and a rear wall, the same profile is always used in a different, appropriate orientation becomes. On each of the four columns, two walls are then hung or pushed into the two L-shaped or T-shaped grooves of the profile.

The profile has two side walls arranged perpendicular to one another, with at least one L-shaped or T-shaped groove being arranged in each of the side walls.

In this way, two walls arranged perpendicular to one another can be connected in a particularly simple manner using the profile.

In a further development of the invention, the profile is provided with at least one recess for hanging components, in particular shelves, drawer guides and the like.

In addition to the at least one L-shaped or T-shaped groove, recesses can be provided. Additional components can be hung into such recesses or additional components can be attached to the recesses and thus to the profile using additional fastening means. Within the scope of the invention, the design of components, in particular shelves, drawer guides and the like, is preferred in such a way that they can be securely fixed in the recesses without tools and ideally without additional separate fastening means.

In a further development of the invention, the recess has a first section which extends parallel to the longitudinal direction and has a first width transversely to the longitudinal direction, that the recess has at least a second section which starts from the first section, extends in the longitudinal direction and transversely to the The longitudinal direction has a second width which is smaller than the first width, and that the recess has a third section which starts from the first section, extends counter to the longitudinal direction and has the second width transversely to the longitudinal direction.

Using such a recess, it is possible to easily attach additional components that are provided with suitable projections or hooks. The projection or hook is inserted into the first portion of the recess. This is possible without any problems because the first section has a comparatively large width. Then the projection or the hook is inserted into the second or third section and thereby fixed. The fixation is effected by the second and third sections having a smaller width, which is then matched to the width of the hook or the projection and ensures a non-positive and/or positive fixation. The second section and the third section extend in opposite directions starting from the first section. Additional components can be hung in depending on the orientation of the profile. For example, the profile can be used as the left vertical column of a cabinet or shelf and shelves are then fixed in the second section of the recess. When using the profile as a right vertical column, the profile is rotated by 180° and the shelf can then be fixed in the third section of the recess.

In a further development of the invention, the recess is designed symmetrically.

In a further development of the invention, the first section of the recess is arranged in sections in a first outer surface of the profile and in sections in a second outer surface of the profile, the first and second outer surfaces being arranged perpendicular to one another.

In this way, fastening means, for example hooks or projections, can be inserted into the recess in a particularly simple manner, for example by simply moving them towards the recess.

In a further development of the invention, the at least one recess is arranged at least in sections in a side wall of a mounting groove, which is arranged in a side surface of the profile and extends in the longitudinal direction of the profile.

A mounting groove creates space for protruding fasteners of additional components, such as shelves, drawer guides and the like. For example, the mounting grooves of two opposing profiles are arranged so that they face each other. A shelf can then have laterally projecting hooks or projections that can be moved along the profile in the mounting grooves until the desired mounting location is reached. The shelf is then fixed by moving it perpendicular to the profiles, whereby the hooks or projections on the shelves engage in the recesses in the side wall of the mounting groove. A mounting groove can also provide space for the arrangement of locking systems, hinges and the like.

In a further development of the invention, the mounting groove has two parallel side walls which are arranged perpendicular to the side surface of the profile, and the mounting groove has a groove base which runs at least in sections parallel to the side surface of the profile.

In other words, the mounting groove has a rectangular cross section and can therefore provide space for the arrangement of functional parts, such as hinges, locking systems or the like.

In a further development of the invention, the at least one groove with an L-shaped or T-shaped cross section extends from a side surface or a groove base of the mounting groove.

The mounting groove and the L-shaped or T-shaped groove can thereby be molded into the profile at the same time or can be formed during the production of the profile itself. This simplifies the production of the profile.

In a further development of the invention, the profile has a closed cross section.

In this way, the profile can be made very stable.

In a further development of the invention, the profile is designed as a sheet metal part, in particular as a rolled profile.

A profile rolled from a sheet metal strip can, for example, also be designed with a closed cross section by connecting the side edges of the sheet metal strip to one another using a fold. In this way, profiles that can be manufactured cost-effectively and are extremely stable are created.

The problem on which the invention is based is solved by an operating device, in particular a cabinet, a shelf, a workbench or the like, in which at least two profiles according to the invention and at least one wall are provided which run parallel to the at least two profiles and which are in the area a first side edge is arranged at least in sections in a groove with an L-shaped or T-shaped cross section of the first profile and in the area of a second side edge, which is opposite the first side edge, at least in sections in a groove with an L-shaped or T-shaped cross section of the second profile is arranged.

In this way, the wall can be fixed to the two profiles without tools and in particular without additional fasteners. For example, the wall can be inserted from the end face of the profiles into the grooves with an L-shaped or T-shaped cross section. This allows an extremely stable fixation of the wall to the profiles to be achieved.

According to the invention, the wall has an L-shaped fold in cross section in the area of the first side edge and in the area of the second side edge.

This fold can extend over the entire length of the side wall. Within the scope of the invention it can be provided that a section of the fold is arranged in the L-shaped groove and another section of the fold rests on a side surface or outer surface of the profile. This allows an extremely stable connection to be achieved between the wall and the profile.

Fig. 1 shows a front view of a profile 10. The profile is designed as a profile rolled from a sheet metal strip. The profile 10 is rolled from a sheet metal strip, the opposite side edges of which are connected to one another in the area of a fold 12. Within the scope of the invention, the side edges can also be connected to one another by means of a weld seam. This gives the profile 10 a closed cross section.

The profile 10 has four side walls 14, 16, 18 and 20. The side walls 14 and 20 are each flat, arranged at right angles to one another and border one another.

The side surface 16 is arranged perpendicular to the side surface 14 and connected to it. However, the side surface 16 is only partially flat and a first groove 22 with an L-shaped cross section is arranged in the middle of the side surface 16. Within the scope of the invention, the groove 22 can also have a T-shaped cross section.

The side wall 18 is connected on the one hand to the side wall 16 and on the other hand to the side wall 20 and arranged perpendicular to the side wall 16 and the side wall 20. The side wall 18 is only partially flat and interrupted by a mounting groove 24 arranged approximately in the middle of the side wall 18. A further groove 28 with an L-shaped cross section extends from the groove base 26 of the assembly groove 24. Within the scope of the invention, the groove 28 can also have a T-shaped cross section. The fold 12 is arranged in the area of the groove base 26 of the mounting groove 24. The mounting groove 24 further has two opposite side walls 30, 32, which are arranged perpendicular to the side wall 18 and from the in Fig. 1 left or right section of the side wall 18. In the view of Fig. 1 the mounting groove 24 has a generally rectangular cross section.

Within the scope of the invention, the edges of the profile 10, where the side walls abut one another, can also be beveled, rounded, bent in several stages and/or provided with a decorative strip.

The two grooves 22, 28 with an L-shaped cross section are intended for fastening walls which are provided on at least one side edge with a fold that matches the L-shaped cross section of the grooves 22, 28.

Fig. 2 shows the profile 10 in a view diagonally from above. The look goes in Fig. 2 on the in Fig. 2 The side wall 20 arranged on the right and the side wall 18. The mounting groove 24 and the groove 28 with an L-shaped cross section starting from the groove base of the mounting groove 24 can be seen in the side wall 18. Furthermore, the groove 22 with an L-shaped cross section can be seen, which starts from the side wall 16.

The groove base 26 of the mounting groove 24 is provided with evenly spaced drill holes. These drill holes or punched holes are used to insert tenons or screws. In the Fig. 2 The side wall 30 of the mounting groove arranged on the left is provided with a plurality of first recesses 34 spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the profile. Each of these first recesses 34 has a first section 36 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the profile and which has a first width. Each of the first recesses 34 also has a second section 38, which also extends in the longitudinal direction of the profile 10 and starts from the first section 36. Each first recess 34 also has a third section 40, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the profile 10 and starts from the first section 36, but extends in the opposite direction to the second section 34. The recess 34 can be used to hang other components, such as shelves or drawer runners. A fastening means on the further component, for example a projection, a hook or a sheet metal tab, is then inserted into the first section 36 of the first recess 34 and then moved into the second section 38 or the third section 40 in order to achieve fixation. In the orientation of the profile 10 shown, the fastening means would be moved from the first section 36 into the second section 38. If you rotate the profile 10 through 180°, the fixation would occur by inserting the fastener into the first section 36 and then into the third section 40.

Further second slot-shaped recesses 42 are arranged between the first recesses 34 and, laterally spaced apart from the second recesses 42, further rectangular third recesses 44. The recesses 42, 44 also serve to fasten additional components. At the transition between the side wall 18 and the side wall 16, further fourth recesses 46 can be seen, which are also arranged at a uniform distance from one another and which extend over the edge between the side wall 16 and the side wall 18.

The first section of the first recess 34 extends from the side wall 18 into the area of the side wall 30 of the mounting groove 24 and the first section 36 thus runs over the edge between the side wall 18 and the side wall 30. A fastening means of a further component, for example a Sheet metal tab, can thereby be arranged in the mounting groove 24, moved along the profile 10 to the desired height and then the fastening means, for example the sheet metal tab, can be moved in by moving the further component Fig. 2 to the left into the first section 36 of the recess 34. This is particularly simple because the first section 36 also extends somewhat into the side wall 30 of the mounting groove 24. The fastening means, for example the sheet metal tab, is then fixed, as explained above, by moving the sheet metal tab downwards into the second section 38. If the orientation of the profile 10 was rotated by 180 °, the sheet metal tab would then be moved into the third section 40, as stated.

Fig. 3 shows an arrangement with profile 10 Fig. 2 and a first wall 50 and a second wall 52 connected to the profile 10. The two walls 50, 52 are arranged perpendicular to one another. Both the wall 50 and the wall 52 each have a fold 54 which is L-shaped and which corresponds to the dimensions of the first groove 22 with an L-shaped cross section or the second groove 28 with an L-shaped cross section of the profile 10 is adapted. With this L-shaped fold 54, the side walls 50, 52 are each in Fig. 3 from above, i.e. starting from the end face of the profile 10, inserted into the grooves 22 and 28. The L-shaped fold 54 then engages in the respective groove 22, 28 and thereby secures the walls 50, 52 in the in Fig. 3 position shown. The connection between the walls 50, 52 and the profile 10 is particularly stable, since the walls 50, 52 also rest against a side wall of the profile 10 with an outer surface 56 or 58. The outer surface 56 of the wall 52 lies against a section of the side wall 18 of the profile 10. The outer surface 58 of the wall 50 rests on a section of the side wall 16 of the profile 10.

Fig. 4 shows a sectional view of the arrangement of the Fig. 3 . It can be clearly seen how the L-shaped folds 54 of the walls 50, 52 are accommodated in the grooves 22 and 28 of the profile 10. It can also be seen that one in Fig. 4 The right-hand outer surface of the wall 52 runs flush with the side surface 20 of the profile 10 and that an in Fig. 4 The upper outer surface of the wall 50 runs flush with the side surface 14 of the profile 10. An operating facility, for example a cabinet, which is constructed with the walls 50, 52 and the profile 10, thus has a very pleasing appearance.

It is in Fig. 4 It can be seen that the profile 14 has two side surfaces arranged perpendicular to one another, in which in Fig. 4 The side surface shown on the left is the L-shaped groove 22 and in the in Fig. 4 The L-shaped groove 28 is shown on the side surface shown below. Within the scope of the invention, the grooves 22, 28 can also have a T-shaped cross section. Each groove 22, 28 has a first groove section which starts from the respective side wall and is arranged perpendicular to this side wall. Each groove 22, 28 also has a second groove section, which extends from the respective first groove section and is arranged perpendicular to the first groove section. The respective second groove section starts from the end of the first groove section. The second groove sections are therefore also arranged parallel to the respective side surface from which the assigned first groove section originates.

The walls 50, 52 each point at their in Fig. 4 side edge shown has an L-shaped fold 54. Each fold 54 has a first fold section which runs parallel to the direction of extension of the respective wall 50, 52. The direction of extension of the wall 50, 52 corresponds to a direction between the two side edges of a respective wall 50, 52. In the case of FIG Fig. 4 In the wall 50 shown, the extension direction of the wall 50 runs from left to right in the plane of the drawing. In the case of the wall 52, the direction of extension of the wall 52 runs from top to bottom in the plane of the drawing. Any L-shaped Fold 54 also has a second fold section, which extends from the first fold section and is arranged perpendicular to the first fold section. Each L-shaped fold in turn extends from an outer surface 56, 58, see Fig. 3 , the wall, which is arranged perpendicular to the direction of extension of the respective wall 50, 52. The first folding section of the L-shaped folding sections 54 thus runs parallel to the direction of extension and the second folding section runs perpendicular to the direction of extension and the second folding section is then also parallel to the outer surface 56, 58 of the respectively assigned wall.

It is Fig. 4 it can be seen that in each case the first folding section of the folding 54 is arranged in the first groove section of the associated groove 22, 28 and that in each case the second folding section of the folding 54 is arranged in the second groove section of the associated groove 22, 28 and that the outer surface 56, 58 of the Wall 50, 52 each rests on the side wall 16, 18 of the profile 10, from which the first groove section of the groove 22, 28 extends. This results in a very stable connection between two profiles 10, which are connected to one another by means of a wall 50, 52. Because the walls 50, 52 prevent the profiles 10 from tilting against each other by simply hanging their respective L-shaped fold 54 into the respective assigned groove 22, 28.

The Fig. 5 to 8 show different steps when inserting the walls 50, 52 into the profile 10.

It can be seen that, as described, the walls 50, 52 are each inserted into the grooves 22, 28 from the end face of the profile 10.

Fig. 9 shows a view of an operating device 60 according to the invention in the form of a cabinet. The cabinet has a total of four vertically arranged profiles 10 and, for example, only the walls 50 and 52 have been inserted into the profiles 10. To complete the cabinet, another side wall, corresponding to wall 50, could be inserted between the profiles 10 and, for example, a front wall opposite wall 52 could be inserted. The front wall could then also be realized in the form of a door, for example. When arranging doors, the mounting grooves 24 of the profiles 10, cf. Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 , with enough space for the arrangement of hinges and locking systems.

Fig. 10 shows the operating device 60, designed as a cabinet, diagonally from the front. It can still be seen that a floor 62 was used. The floor 62 is hung on the profiles 10, for example in one or more of the based on the Fig. 2 described recesses 36, 42, 44, 46 in the profile 10.

Fig. 11 and 12 show the insertion of a further component 64 designed as a shelf into the profile 10 according to the invention. The shelf 64 is provided on both sides with a laterally projecting sheet metal tab 66. The sheet metal tab does not have to be provided in the side wall of the shelf 64, but is in the illustrated embodiment, see also Fig. 13 , arranged on a side guide plate 68, which in turn is connected to the side wall of the shelf 64. The guide plate 68 can also be designed as a drawer guide, for example.

According to Fig. 11 the sheet metal tab 66, which protrudes laterally over the shelf 64 and the guide plate 68, is inserted into the mounting groove 24 of the profile 10. The shelf 64 can now be moved in the longitudinal direction of the profile 10 to the desired height, since the sheet metal tab 66 does not rest on the inner walls of the mounting groove 24.

In order to then fix the shelf 64 relative to the profile 10, the shelf 64 is moved together with the guide plate 68 in the direction of the side wall 30 of the mounting groove 24, in other words in the direction of the in Fig. 11 unrecognizable recess 34 in the side wall 30, in Fig. 11 so up.

Fig. 12 shows the state in which the sheet metal tab 66 then already engages in the recess 34 and thereby protrudes in sections into the interior of the profile 10. The sheet metal tab 66 can then, cf. Fig. 2 , can be moved into the second section 38 or the third section 40 of the recess 34 in order to fix the sheet metal tab 66 on the profile 10.

By simply moving the shelf 64 or the sheet metal tab 66, the shelf 64 can be securely fixed to the profile 10.

Fig. 13 It can be seen that the shelf 64 is provided on its left and right sides with a guide plate 68, each guide plate 68 being provided with a metal tab 66 at the front and rear ends. By inserting the sheet metal tabs 66 into a respective mounting groove 24 of the profiles 10 and then moving the shelf 64 so that the sheet metal tabs 66 can engage in the respective recesses 34 of the profiles 10, four stable attachment points of the shelf 64 can be created on the profiles 10 realize. The shelf is attached without tools and without the use of additional fasteners.

Fig. 14 shows two profiles 10, to which a cross brace 70 and a drawer guide 72 are attached. The crossbar 70 and the drawer guide 72 are each, as based on the shelf and based on the Fig. 11 to 13 described, inserted into the recesses on the profiles 10. In addition to the recesses 34, the further recesses on the profile 10 can also be used to fasten shelves 64, cross struts 70 and/or drawer guides 72, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 were described.

Fig. 15 shows a sectional view of an arrangement with four vertically arranged profiles 10 and a cover 74 which was placed on the profiles 10.

Fig. 16 shows sections of a profile 10, which is at its in Fig. 16 bottom face was closed with an end plug 76. The end plug 76 can also be designed as a floor glider, for example.

Fig. 17 shows the profile 10, which was provided with the end plug 76, with a height-adjustable foot 78 also being arranged on the end plug 76.

Fig. 18 shows the profile 10 with the end plug 76, with a swivel roller 80 being connected to the end plug 76.

Fig. 19 shows an example of an operating device 90 not according to the invention, which is designed as a shelf.

Fig. 20 shows an example of another operating device 110, which is designed as a cabinet.

Fig. 21 shows another operating device 120, which is designed as a workbench.

The shelf 90, the cabinet 110 and the workbench 120 each have four vertically arranged profiles 10. In the case of the shelf 90, two shelves and further drawers are arranged between these four profiles 10. In the case of the cabinet 110, the four vertically arranged profiles are connected to two side walls and a rear wall and to a lid. In addition, drawer guides and drawers are arranged between the profiles 10 in the manner described.

The workbench 120 has a base table with four profiles, which are connected to one another by means of two side walls and a partial rear wall and on which a table top rests. Two further profiles 10 extend from the table top, between which a perforated sheet metal wall 122 is arranged, for example to hang up tools. Two further profile sections of the profile 10 then extend horizontally starting from the perforated sheet metal wall 122. These two profile sections 10 are then connected by means of a cross member 124, on which, for example, a workplace lamp 126 can then be arranged.

Overall, the profile 10 enables an extremely flexible, simple and stable construction of operating facilities in the manner of a modular system. Since the walls and the profiles as well as shelves and possibly drawer guides and the like or other components can be connected to one another without tools or can simply be fixed to one another using additional screws, the operating equipment can be set up directly on site. The transport costs for the operating equipment according to the invention are therefore considerably lower because they can be transported disassembled and therefore require only little space.
