Definitions
- the invention relates to a letter tray arrangement with an upper and a lower letter tray according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Letter baskets are mainly used in offices and are primarily used to temporarily store written material such as incoming and outgoing mail, etc., before further use. For this purpose, they are usually placed on a table top and stacked one on top of the other to save space, forming a basket arrangement.
- Each of the letter baskets has a receiving space for the written material, which is bounded on the back by the rear wall and on the sides by the side walls, while the base forms a support surface for the written material.
- the letter tray is open at the front and at the top, allowing easy removal of the written material contained in it.
- a basket arrangement is, for example, from DE 10 2009 006 526 A1 famous.
- the upper letter tray has a downwardly bent edge which encloses the rear wall and the side walls of the lower letter tray.
- a prerequisite for stacking such letter trays is that the side walls extend essentially vertically from the bottom upwards.
- the upper basket must be larger than the lower basket in order not to slip into it.
- a basket arrangement of the type mentioned from the DE 40 39 360 A1 famous Spacers are arranged there between the upper and the lower letter tray in order to increase the capacity to enlarge.
- the upper and the lower letter tray are identical in construction with side walls standing vertically from the floor.
- the invention is based on the idea of using the support element to provide an additional component on which the upper letter tray rests and which is wide enough to encompass the upper edges of the side walls of the lower letter tray.
- This solution according to the invention provides that the upper basket and the lower basket are structurally identical, so that when a number of baskets are available, it is irrelevant which serves as the upper and which as the lower basket.
- the solution according to the invention also provides that the side walls of the upper letter tray and the lower letter tray are each inclined outwards away from one another, starting from the floor, so that their distance increases towards the top.
- the support element then offers a simple way of creating a widening of the upper letter tray so that it can be stacked on the lower letter tray.
- the support element is a storage tray that has a base, a rear wall that extends upwards from the base, and side walls that extend upwards from the base and run transversely to the rear wall at a distance from one another, with a support element protruding from each of their side walls and with the upper letter basket rests with the underside of its bottom on the upper edges of the side walls and preferably the rear wall of the tray.
- the tray is smaller than the upper and lower baskets.
- the support element is a support web which is releasably fastened to the upper letter basket on the underside of its base facing the lower letter basket and whose opposite end parts form the support elements.
- the upper letter tray can then rest on the rear wall of the lower letter tray, so that the upper letter tray rests stably on the lower letter tray. It is possible that the upper letter tray at the back simply rests with its base on the rear wall of the lower letter tray.
- the upper letter tray has a downwardly protruding edge on the underside of its base, which is U-shaped in a plan view from below and has two interruptions into which an upper edge of the rear wall of the lower basket engages.
- the upper letter tray advantageously has a receiving channel on the underside of its base, in which the support bar is received. If the support bar fits exactly with a little play in the receiving channel, its position is fixed so that a defined stacking of the letter trays is possible. It is preferred that in the receiving channel at least two opposing detent elements and projecting towards each other from two boundary walls delimiting the receiving channel are arranged for fastening the support web. The support web can then be easily inserted into the receiving channel and fastened there by snaps on the upper letter basket.
- the letter tray arrangement can be sold in a disassembled state when the upper letter tray, the lower letter tray and the support web are packaged to save space and are only assembled after removal from the packaging to form the letter tray arrangement.
- Each of the latching elements expediently engages under the support web at a recess open to an underside of the support web.
- the support web has, opposite at least one of the recesses, a run-on bevel that extends to its upper side, so that it is easier to snap into the receiving channel.
- the boundary walls advantageously protrude from the underside of the base, so that the base does not have a reduced thickness in the area of the receiving channel. Boundary walls protruding from it also give the floor increased stability.
- the receiving channel is open at its ends facing away from each other and the support web protrudes from both ends. It can then be more easily manufactured to the length required to grip the top edges of the side walls of the lower letter tray.
- at least one first positioning element can protrude from the bottom of the upper letter basket in the receiving channel and engages in a complementary second positioning element on the support web, so that its positioning in the receiving channel is facilitated.
- the support element is expediently mirror-symmetrical to a central plane running transversely to the rear wall of the upper letter basket.
- the support parts each have a longitudinal rib extending along the upper edge of the relevant side wall on its outer side facing away from the other side wall and a transverse rib extending transversely to the relevant side wall to its inner side facing away from the outer side, between which the upper edge the relevant side wall is included.
- the letter basket arrangement can only have an upper and a lower letter basket. However, it can be expanded by adding at least one additional letter tray placed on the upper letter tray.
- This can be a letter basket that is structurally identical to the upper letter tray, on the underside of which, facing the upper letter tray, a further support element that is structurally identical to the support element is detachably fastened to its support elements in each case has a bearing part lying on one of the side walls of the upper letter tray and encompassing the upper edge thereof. In this way, numerous other upper letter baskets can be placed on top of this to expand the letter basket arrangement.
- the 1 illustrated basket arrangement 10 has an upper basket 10a and a lower basket 10b, on which the upper basket 10a is placed.
- the upper letter tray 10a and the lower letter tray 10b are structurally identical, that is to say identical in design. They each have a bottom 12 for supporting written material, a rear wall 14 extending upwards from the bottom 12 and two side walls 16 extending transversely from the rear wall 14 at a distance from one another and extending upwards from the bottom 12 .
- Each of the two letter baskets 10a, 10b is forward and backward open at the top, and the side walls 16 extend outwardly inclined away from one another from the base 12, so that their upper edges 18 are arranged at a greater distance from one another than the side edges 20 of the base 12, at which the side walls 16 are formed on the base 12 .

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Briefkorbanordnung mit einem oberen und einem unteren Briefkorb gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a letter tray arrangement with an upper and a lower letter tray according to the preamble of claim 1.
Briefkörbe finden überwiegend im Bürobereich Anwendung und dienen vor allem dazu, Schriftgut, wie Eingangspost, Ausgangspost usw., vor der weiteren Verwendung zwischenzulagern. Sie werden hierzu in der Regel auf einer Tischplatte aufgestellt und unter Bildung einer Briefkorbanordnung zur Platzersparnis übereinander gestapelt. Jeder der Briefkörbe weist einen Aufnahmeraum für das Schriftgut auf, der zur Rückseite durch die Rückwand und zu den Seiten durch die Seitenwände begrenzt wird, während der Boden eine Auflagefläche für das Schriftgut bildet. Zur Vorderseite und nach oben ist der Briefkorb offen und ermöglicht die bequeme Entnahme des in ihm aufgenommenen Schriftguts. Eine Briefkorbanordnung ist beispielsweise aus der
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Briefkorbanordnung der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass die Briefkörbe besser aufeinander gestapelt werden können.It is therefore the object of the invention to further develop a letter basket arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the letter baskets can be better stacked on top of one another.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Briefkorbanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a letter tray arrangement having the features of claim 1 . Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, mit dem Auflageelement ein zusätzliches Bauteil vorzusehen, auf dem der obere Briefkorb aufliegt, und das breit genug ist, die Oberkanten der Seitenwände des unteren Briefkorbs zu umgreifen. Diese erfindungsgemäße Lösung sieht vor, dass der obere Briefkorb und der untere Briefkorb baugleich sind, so dass dann, wenn eine Anzahl von Briefkörben zur Verfügung steht, es nicht relevant ist, welcher als oberer und welcher als unterer Briefkorb dient. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung sieht zudem vor, dass die Seitenwände des oberen Briefkorbs und des unteren Briefkorbs jeweils ausgehend vom Boden voneinander weg nach außen geneigt sind, so dass sich ihr Abstand nach oben hin vergrößert. Dann bietet das Auflageelement eine einfache Möglichkeit, eine Verbreiterung des oberen Briefkorbs zu schaffen, so dass dieser auf den unteren Briefkorb gestapelt werden kann.The invention is based on the idea of using the support element to provide an additional component on which the upper letter tray rests and which is wide enough to encompass the upper edges of the side walls of the lower letter tray. This solution according to the invention provides that the upper basket and the lower basket are structurally identical, so that when a number of baskets are available, it is irrelevant which serves as the upper and which as the lower basket. The solution according to the invention also provides that the side walls of the upper letter tray and the lower letter tray are each inclined outwards away from one another, starting from the floor, so that their distance increases towards the top. The support element then offers a simple way of creating a widening of the upper letter tray so that it can be stacked on the lower letter tray.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Auflageelement eine Ablageschale, die einen Boden, eine sich vom Boden nach oben erstreckende Rückwand und sich vom Boden nach oben erstreckende, im Abstand zueinander quer zur Rückwand verlaufende Seitenwände aufweist, wobei von ihren Seitenwänden jeweils ein Tragelement absteht und wobei der obere Briefkorb mit der Unterseite seines Bodens auf den Oberkanten der Seitenwände und vorzugsweise der Rückwand der Ablageschale aufliegt. Die Ablageschale ist kleiner als der obere und der untere Briefkorb. Um auch im hinteren Bereich eine stabile Abstützung des oberen Briefkorbs auf dem unteren Briefkorb zu erzielen, ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorgesehen, dass von der Rückwand der Ablageschale ein weiteres Tragelement absteht, das auf der Rückwand des unteren Briefkorbs aufliegt und dessen Oberkante umgreift. Dieses ist zweckmäßig baugleich mit den von den Seitenwänden der Ablageschale abstehenden Tragelementen.According to one embodiment, the support element is a storage tray that has a base, a rear wall that extends upwards from the base, and side walls that extend upwards from the base and run transversely to the rear wall at a distance from one another, with a support element protruding from each of their side walls and with the upper letter basket rests with the underside of its bottom on the upper edges of the side walls and preferably the rear wall of the tray. The tray is smaller than the upper and lower baskets. In order to achieve a stable support of the upper letter tray on the lower letter tray in the rear area as well, according to an advantageous development provided that a further support element protrudes from the rear wall of the storage tray, which rests on the rear wall of the lower letter tray and surrounds its upper edge. This is expediently identical in construction to the support elements protruding from the side walls of the storage tray.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Auflageelement ein am oberen Briefkorb an der dem unteren Briefkorb zugewandten Unterseite seines Bodens lösbar befestigter Auflagesteg, dessen einander abgewandte Endpartien die Tragelemente bilden. Im hinteren Bereich kann der obere Briefkorb dann auf der Rückwand des unteren Briefkorbs aufliegen, so dass eine stabile Auflage des oberen Briefkorbs auf dem unteren Briefkorb gegeben ist. Dabei ist es möglich, dass der obere Briefkorb an der Rückseite einfach mit seinem Boden auf der Rückwand des unteren Briefkorbs aufliegt. Um ein Verrutschen der Briefkörbe zueinander besser zu vermeiden, wird jedoch bevorzugt, dass der obere Briefkorb an der Unterseite seines Bodens einen nach unten abstehenden, in einer Draufsicht von unten U-förmigen Rand aufweist, welcher zwei Unterbrechungen aufweist, in die eine Oberkante der Rückwand des unteren Briefkorbs eingreift.According to a further exemplary embodiment, the support element is a support web which is releasably fastened to the upper letter basket on the underside of its base facing the lower letter basket and whose opposite end parts form the support elements. In the rear area, the upper letter tray can then rest on the rear wall of the lower letter tray, so that the upper letter tray rests stably on the lower letter tray. It is possible that the upper letter tray at the back simply rests with its base on the rear wall of the lower letter tray. However, in order to better prevent the letter trays from slipping relative to one another, it is preferred that the upper letter tray has a downwardly protruding edge on the underside of its base, which is U-shaped in a plan view from below and has two interruptions into which an upper edge of the rear wall of the lower basket engages.
Zur lösbaren Befestigung des Auflagestegs weist der obere Briefkorb an der Unterseite seines Bodens vorteilhaft eine Aufnahmerinne auf, in der der Auflagesteg aufgenommen ist. Wenn der Auflagesteg passgenau mit etwas Spiel in der Aufnahmerinne aufgenommen ist, ist er in seiner Position festgelegt, so dass ein definiertes Stapeln der Briefkörbe möglich ist. Dabei wird bevorzugt, dass in der Aufnahmerinne mindestens zwei einander gegenüberliegende und von zwei die Aufnahmerinne begrenzenden Begrenzungswänden aufeinander zu vorspringende Rastelelemente zur Befestigung des Auflagestegs angeordnet sind. Der Auflagesteg kann dann auf einfache Weise in die Aufnahmerinne eingesetzt und dort durch Rasten am oberen Briefkorb befestigt werden. Beispielsweise kann die Briefkorbanordnung in zerlegtem Zustand verkauft werden, wenn der obere Briefkorb, der untere Briefkorb und der Auflagesteg platzsparend verpackt sind und erst nach der Entnahme aus der Verpackung zur Briefkorbanordnung zusammengesetzt werden. Zweckmäßig untergreift jedes der Rastelemente den Auflagesteg an einer zu einer Unterseite des Auflagestegs offenen Ausnehmung. Desweiteren wird bevorzugt, dass der Auflagesteg zumindest einer der Ausnehmungen gegenüberliegend eine sich zu seiner Oberseite erstreckende Auflaufschräge aufweist, so dass das Einrasten in die Aufnahmerinne erleichtert wird.For the detachable attachment of the support bar, the upper letter tray advantageously has a receiving channel on the underside of its base, in which the support bar is received. If the support bar fits exactly with a little play in the receiving channel, its position is fixed so that a defined stacking of the letter trays is possible. It is preferred that in the receiving channel at least two opposing detent elements and projecting towards each other from two boundary walls delimiting the receiving channel are arranged for fastening the support web. The support web can then be easily inserted into the receiving channel and fastened there by snaps on the upper letter basket. For example, the letter tray arrangement can be sold in a disassembled state when the upper letter tray, the lower letter tray and the support web are packaged to save space and are only assembled after removal from the packaging to form the letter tray arrangement. Each of the latching elements expediently engages under the support web at a recess open to an underside of the support web. Furthermore, it is preferred that the support web has, opposite at least one of the recesses, a run-on bevel that extends to its upper side, so that it is easier to snap into the receiving channel.
Die Begrenzungswände stehen vorteilhaft aus der Unterseite des Bodens vor, so dass der Boden im Bereich der Aufnahmerinne keine verminderte Dicke aufweist. Aus ihm vorstehende Begrenzungswände verleihen dem Boden zudem eine erhöhte Stabilität. Zudem wird bevorzugt, dass die Aufnahmerinne zu ihren einander abgewandten Enden offen ist und der Auflagesteg aus beiden Enden herausragt. Er kann dann einfacher in der für das Umgreifen der Oberkanten der Seitenwände des unteren Briefkorbs erforderlichen Länge hergestellt werden. Zudem kann in der Aufnahmerinne mindestens ein erstes Positionierelement aus dem Boden des oberen Briefkorbs vorstehen, das in ein komplementäres zweites Positionierelement am Auflagesteg eingreift, so dass dessen Positionierung in der Aufnahmerinne erleichtert wird.The boundary walls advantageously protrude from the underside of the base, so that the base does not have a reduced thickness in the area of the receiving channel. Boundary walls protruding from it also give the floor increased stability. In addition, it is preferred that the receiving channel is open at its ends facing away from each other and the support web protrudes from both ends. It can then be more easily manufactured to the length required to grip the top edges of the side walls of the lower letter tray. In addition, at least one first positioning element can protrude from the bottom of the upper letter basket in the receiving channel and engages in a complementary second positioning element on the support web, so that its positioning in the receiving channel is facilitated.
Bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen ist das Auflageelement zweckmäßig zu einer quer zur Rückwand des oberen Briefkorbs verlaufenden Mittelebene spiegelsymmetrisch. Des weiteren wird bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen bevorzugt, dass die Auflagepartien jeweils eine sich entlang der Oberkante der betreffenden Seitenwand an deren der anderen Seitenwand abgewandten Außenseite erstreckende Längsrippe und eine sich quer zur betreffenden Seitenwand zu deren der Außenseite abgewandten Innenseite erstreckende Querrippe aufweisen, zwischen denen die Oberkante der betreffenden Seitenwand aufgenommen ist.In both exemplary embodiments, the support element is expediently mirror-symmetrical to a central plane running transversely to the rear wall of the upper letter basket. Furthermore, it is preferred in both exemplary embodiments that the support parts each have a longitudinal rib extending along the upper edge of the relevant side wall on its outer side facing away from the other side wall and a transverse rib extending transversely to the relevant side wall to its inner side facing away from the outer side, between which the upper edge the relevant side wall is included.
Die Briefkorbanordnung kann lediglich einen oberen und einen unteren Briefkorb aufweisen. Sie kann jedoch durch Hinzunahme mindestens eines auf den oberen Briefkorb aufgesetzten weiteren Briefkorbs erweitert werden. Dieser kann ein mit dem oberen Briefkorb baugleicher Briefkorb sein, an dessen dem oberen Briefkorb zugewandter Unterseite seines Bodens ein mit dem Auflageelement baugleiches weiteres Auflageelement lösbar befestigt ist, das an seinen Tragelementen jeweils eine auf einer der Seitenwände des oberen Briefkorbs aufliegende und deren Oberkante umgreifende Auflagepartie aufweist. Auf diese Weise können noch zahlreiche weitere obere Briefkörbe zur Erweiterung der Briefkorbanordnung auf diese aufgesetzt werden.The letter basket arrangement can only have an upper and a lower letter basket. However, it can be expanded by adding at least one additional letter tray placed on the upper letter tray. This can be a letter basket that is structurally identical to the upper letter tray, on the underside of which, facing the upper letter tray, a further support element that is structurally identical to the support element is detachably fastened to its support elements in each case has a bearing part lying on one of the side walls of the upper letter tray and encompassing the upper edge thereof. In this way, numerous other upper letter baskets can be placed on top of this to expand the letter basket arrangement.
