Wall element for shelves, cabinets or trolleys Väggelement för shelf, skip eller transportvagnar

The invention relates to a wall element for the side walls of shelves, cabinets or transport trolleys, in particular for the storage and transport of laboratory and / or medical products, this element being formed in one piece as a profiled plate with protruding guide parts for supporting the shelves or trays.

Laboratory and medical equipment and other products used in hospitals are often stored on stationary shelves or cabinets or in a cabinet or trolley suitable for a number of shelves, trays, or baskets, some of which may be relatively deep.

In addition to the need to securely and reliably secure shelves, trays, or baskets so that they are paid and minimally exposed to vibration during transport and in addition to the functionality of the structure 15, allowing easy cleaning to the hyglenia standard used in hospital equipment, the best possible access to stored equipment is generally desired. to remove the goods directly, disrupting their order on the shelves or trays as little as possible.

20

In a structure with only horizontal shelves or trays, the latter may be difficult to accomplish if the requirement of high storage capacity is to be met at the same time with the consequent relatively close to each other shelves or trays with their overlapping arrangement requirements.

The easier accessibility for the removal of associated relatively suuretu varastolntikapasiteettiin can be achieved by arranging the shelves, trays or baskets in their inclined position tilted forward in the direction of the shelves 30, or the front of the cabinet.

2 76483

In known shelves, cabinets or cabinet or conveyor trolleys, shelves or trays are generally placed on guide rails which can be formed in one piece with the back element, as is known from DE-B-15 29 721, or can be detachably attached to vertical side walls. In order to avoid vibration of the shelves or trays, such guide rails generally have a relatively narrow longitudinal groove for the edge rails or flanges of the shelves or trays.

10 In this case, the arrangement of the shelves or cabinet becomes permanent, as it is difficult and time-consuming to move the rails attached to the side walls. Normally, it must be determined in advance whether the shelves or trays should be placed horizontally or obliquely, or possibly there should be both horizontal and oblique shelves or trays.

15 In addition, the narrow grooves in the guide rails often cause cleaning problems due to the accumulation of dust or dirt, which can only be removed with difficulty.

In order to overcome these functional disadvantages, the wall element according to the invention is characterized in that said guide parts are in the form of a prism and form a matrix-like arrangement which provides a series of parallel horizontal grooves and at least one series of parallel oblique grooves suitable for these shelves and / or side edges or flanges.

With this structure, the need for separate guide grooves with narrow grooves can be eliminated. The rearrangement from the horizontal order of the shelves or trays to the oblique arrangement can be carried out without difficulty and regularly without emptying these shelves or trays. Moreover, since both horizontal and oblique shelves and trays may be included in the same shelf structure or cabinet, significantly improved flexibility of the arrangement is achieved.

55 Since the guide parts formed in one piece with the back element can be placed with a relatively larger clearance than the width of the groove in conventional guide rails and as this can be additionally provided with relatively soft rounded edges, a significantly improved cleaning comfort is additionally provided.

In a relatively simple embodiment, which includes only one set of oblique grooves, these guide parts may have a substantially parallelepiped-shaped cross-section. In this case, the two opposite surfaces of each guide part are horizontal and the other two opposite surfaces are oblique, these obliquities defining the inclination of the oblique grooves.

10

However, a preferred embodiment of the wall element according to the invention is characterized in that said matrix-like arrangement consists of two sets of guide parts arranged alternately in rows and columns to provide two sets of parallel five-to-five grooves with opposite inclination horizontal top and provided with two pairs of opposed oblique surfaces with slopes corresponding to each of these sets of parallel oblique grooves, 20 while the guide portions of the second set are triangular in cross section each horizontal groove is bounded downwards by the first-mentioned set of guide-25 parts y surfaces and abuts upwardly on the bottom surfaces of the second set of guide portions above, while each oblique groove is bounded downwards alternately on oblique surfaces in the guide portions above both the first and second of said plurality respectively and is limited upwards only on the first said set of guide portions on oblique surfaces.

30

Since the wall element of this structure has two sets of oblique grooves with opposite but equal slopes, the same wall element can be used at both the right and left ends of the shelf structure or cabinet.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which: 35 4 76483

Figure 1 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of a wall element according to the invention,

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the spine element shown in Figure 1, 5

Figure 3 is a top view of another embodiment as well

Figure 4 is a plan view of a simpler embodiment.

The wall element 1 of Figures 1 and 2 is designed as a profiled part of a single plate, which is made of e.g. plastic material and which is suitable for fastening against the inner surface of the supporting wall.

According to the invention, the element 1 is formed in one piece, which includes an integrated matrix-like arrangement of prismatic guide parts 2 and 3 projecting from the inner surface of the element 1, providing a series of parallel horizontal grooves 4 and, in the illustrated embodiment, two sets of parallel sloping grooves 5 and 6 gradients.

In addition, the wall element 1 forms a rectangular modular part with horizontal top and bottom edges 7 and 8 and vertical side edges 9 and 10. As a result of a structure with two sets of oblique grooves 5 and 6, the element can be used as a shelf structure, shelf or on both the right and left side of the transport wagon. When used on the left side of the illustrated element, the downwardly inclined grooves 5 on the shelves and trays provide an oblique arrangement position and when used on the right side, the downwardly inclined grooves 6 act in this same function.

30

In order to provide a series of oblique grooves 5 and 6 as well as a series of horizontal grooves 4, the above-mentioned matrix-like arrangement in its embodiment shows a certain first set of guide part 2 and a second set of guide part 3 arranged alternately in rows and columns 55.

5 76483

The first set of guide parts 2 has a pentagonal cross-section with a horizontal top surface 11 and two pairs of alternately inclined surfaces 12,14 and 13,15, respectively, with a slope in each of a series of oblique grooves 5 and 6, respectively. The guide portions 3 of the second set 5 have a substantially triangular cross-section with a horizontal bottom surface 16 and two inclined surfaces 17 and 18, the slopes of which correspond to each of the sets of grooves 5 and 6. However, depending on the inclination of the inclined grooves 3, some of the guide portions 3 may be provided with bevelled corners. 3 '.

Thus, the horizontal grooves 4 abut downwards on the upper surfaces 11 of the guide parts 2 in a certain row of this matrix-like arrangement And abut the grooves upwards on the bottom surfaces 16 of the guide parts 3 in adjacent rows above it.

15

The oblique grooves 5 and 6 abut downwardly oblique surfaces 12,17 and 15,18 in guide portions 2 and 3, respectively, alternately in order, the inclination of these oblique surfaces corresponding to the groove in question, while the grooves abound upwards from a certain downwardly inclined oblique surfaces 14 and 13 in the guide parts 2, respectively.

In terms of the safe arrangement of the shelves or trays in the inclined grooves 5 and 6, the guide portions 2 and 3 in the embodiment shown are shaped so that the inclined surfaces 12, 17 and 15, 18 in the guide parts 2 and 25 3 respectively delimit the grooves 5 and 6 downwards. inclined surfaces 14 and 13 in the guide parts 2, which delimit the grooves 5 and 6 upwards. As a result, the height of each of the oblique grooves decreases upwards so that a certain clill effect is achieved when introducing shelves or trays into these grooves.

30

In addition, at the lower end of each oblique groove 5 and 6, a hook-like stop portion 19 is arranged to be integrated as part of the element 1, closing part of the height of the groove at the opening point. When installed, the side edge or flange 35 of the shelf or tray is guided over the stop part 19 and when the shelf or tray is completely inserted, it is detached when it comes into contact with the stop part 19.

6 76483

For a corresponding safe arrangement in the horizontal grooves, in the embodiment shown therein, further guide parts 20 are arranged at each end of these grooves, which are likewise formed as an integrated part of the pre-element 1 and have a stop rod 21 formed in response to the horizontal groove.

As can be seen more clearly from Fig. 1, the wall element 1 is designed as a module, which is connected to other corresponding wall elements so that the horizontal top edge 7 and the horizontal bottom edge 8 have the same clearance from the upper surface 11 of the guide part 2 in the upper horizontal row and the bottom planes 16 in the lower part being equal to half the height of the horizontal grooves 4.

In the embodiment shown, the guide parts 3 are designed as shown in Fig. 2 with open inwardly directed tips formed by short prism-shaped pins. However, there is nothing to prevent the inwardly directed ends from being closed.

Fig. 3 shows a variation of the embodiment 20 shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which the wall element 22, instead of being designed as a single plate part, which needs to be fixed to a supporting wall, is designed as a double-sided Self-supporting cavity provided with parts 23 for fixing it vertically. to the vertical tubes of the frame structure (not shown). This embodiment is well suited for types of transport wagons designed as carriage frames. Depending on the choice of material and production technology, a single plate section can also be designed to be self-supporting.

Finally, a simplified embodiment of Fig. 4 compared to Figs. 1 and 2 is shown, illustrating a pre-element 24 with only one set of oblique grooves 25 in addition to the horizontal grooves 26. In this construction, which is somewhat less expensive, the guide parts 27 may have a substantially parallelepiped-shaped cross-section, as already mentioned above. On the other side can be one and the same eelnäelementtiä only the structure of the shelf or cabinet on the other side.
