Description

Scope of the invention

  The invention relates to a wall structure,

  freely or mounted on a supporting structure,

  both an inserted profile rail used for hanging support arms intended for the direct or indirect suspension of articles. With regard to these articles, it may for example be products offered for presentation in shops or at exhibitions. Such articles can also be information carriers, such as products

  press or brochures about services offered.

  As another example, the article designation also includes

  objects of personal or professional use which are kept in a tidy manner. At least one rail

  profile is arranged horizontally in the wall. Any-

  times, depending on the intended use, it is possible

  ble that several profiled rails are also provided

  aligned and arranged at a distance from each other in the pa-

  King. The support arms mainly comprise a plate

  interlocking quilt with upper and lower edges

  laughing come, in the hooked state, to be placed behind abutment flanges which are constituted by parts

  against clearance. Or the items are hung directly

  support arms, or the support arms tightly

  support wind for a support element, for example a ta-

  chard, basket or box, which is used to receive

articles.

State of the art

  By US-A-4,944,416, a wall of presentation is known.

  tion comprising profiled rails, inserted by forming lines, in T-grooves from which the support arms can hang. The nesting bases of the support arms fitted into the profiled rails need to be folded around the lower edge of the T-groove in order to bear on the front face of the wall. As a result,

  relatively large nesting bases are visible

2 2789862

  which is not suitable for all configuration requirements.

  US-A-4 211 379 discloses a presentation wall comprising

  each carrying two parallel horizontal slots, the interlocking plate of a hanging support arm penetrating, by its upper part folded several times, into

  the upper slit, hanging behind it, tan-

  say that the lower part of the interlocking plate penetrates horizontally into the lower slot. For this display wall, two slots should be provided

  for each snap line, so that it pre-

  feels a large number of slots which most of the time are not occupied and are therefore open. This

  also does not respect all configuration concepts.

  Another grooved wall structure used for the attachment of support arms is proposed in DE-C-38 03 829. The entire wall structure consists of profiled rails which are arranged one above the other, are integral with each other and have forward a

  common covering having slots forming lines

  genes. Finally, DE-A-2 250 987 presents a wall with grooves for an auction room which consists of profiled rails of sinuous shape which fit into each other and are screwed on a rear wall. This gives a

  multi-slit wall and results in heavy use

  material maple, as well as important means of

  floor. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION Most of the time, the already known wall structures used for hanging articles, and therefore also for presenting products, are arranged requiring a lot of material and a great deal of work. In addition, excessively large parts of the blocking mechanism occurring

  in the form of interlocking plates in support or nom-

  open open slits are visible from the outside, which is detrimental to the overall visual impression. With

  the current high demands regarding the

  ginal and the aesthetic configuration that exists in interior fittings or in store construction

3 2789862

  and exhibitions, the invention aims to offer, in

  the purpose indicated above, a perfect wall structure

  in which the smallest possible part of the hooking mechanism is visible from the outside and numerous wide and open slots are avoided. In addition, the structure must have a carrying capacity

  strong and the hanging support arms must be im-

  mobilized in a safe manner even in the case of manipulation-

  careless or intense frequentation of the pu-

  blic. Wall dimensions, height and number of

  profile rails to be inserted must be able to adapt in a

  variable to the intended use and the conditions

  local. The possibility of fitting the wall with support arms

  as simple as possible or replaces it

  Hanging support arms are desirable. Finally, the wall structure must be fabricated as a whole

in an efficient manner.

  Overview of the invention The wall structure comprises at least one inserted profiled rail used for the attachment of support arms intended for

  the direct or indirect suspension of articles, the rail

  yarn being provided, for horizontal mounting, in an ele

  wall or between several wall elements. The rail

  profile includes an entrance which is accessible from the outside

  laughing thereof and which constitutes a nesting housing in which can hang, arbitrarily along the profile rail, one or more support arms. A support arm includes a rod-shaped portion and a

  interlocking plate which can be hung in the lo-

  nesting in a way that allows it to be able

  be disengaged again. The hanging takes place

  in front of the free end of the rod-shaped part, in

  knitting the upper edge of the interlocking plate

  in an upper interlocking groove

  skin, lowering the free end of the rod-shaped part and inserting the lower edge of the interlocking plate in a lower groove

  interlocking undercut. In the hooked position

  The interlocking plate is located behind re-

4 2789862

  abutment edges which are formed by the interlocking grooves.

  The following particulars concern developments

  pements particular to the invention. The profile rail includes

  carries the following profiled parts on the inner face which, when hung, is placed on the rear face

  of the wall element. A central groove which is delimited

  tee, on each of its two sides, by a supporting wing

  pective which is flat and extends respectively upwards or downwards, these support wings bearing, by their rear faces or by their front faces, on the elements of

  wall, the support wings being offset in a parallel manner

  the vis-à-vis the outer central groove. In addition, a base portion which is located between the support wings and on which the outer central groove is formed. There is provided, extending in the central position on the outer central groove, a marking line which at the same time constitutes the central line of the profiled rail and on which the holes serving for the passage of fixing screws can be drilled. At the location of the transitions of the central groove external to the support wings, there are provided recesses in which positioning fingers can be placed when mounting a second piece of rail, so that the transition existing between the pieces of rail appear as much as possible without jumping. It is provided,

  extending on each of the support wings, a line of mar-

  respective cages serving as orientation to spare

  holes for the passage of fixing screws.

  Respective horizontal wings extend above and below the base part, the support wings standing perpendicularly on these horizontal wings. Multi-grooved tongue ribs rise upward respectively from the horizontal wing

  up and down from the horizontal wing in-

  lower, these tongue-forming ribs being located

  only in a central position on the horizontal wings.

  The horizontal wings surrounding the base portion in a U-shape form an inner central groove. For each

  horizontal wing, a respective part forming a molding

  ribbed towards the external face connects forwards to

2789862

  this horizontal wing by forming an overhanging part.

  Respective interlocking grooves, which underlie

  seems a plane, are spared in the horizontal wings.

  Viewed from the outside, the interlocking grooves are undercut with respect to the molding-forming parts, so that there are abutment flanges which play their role towards the front. The entry which serves to hook the support arms and which widens outwards remains between the two parts forming

  molding. A limiting spout is provided on the edge of the bu

upper tee.

  In the case of a profile rail inserted from the rear into a wall element, there is provided, arranged on either side of the cutting surfaces of the profile rail and on each side, a piece of respective shape which closes off the side the central groove and at the same time keeps in position the profiled rail inserted in a recessed part provided

  in the wall element. The shaped part has parts

  stepped sections which are complementary with respect to the elastic ribs, the front edges of the horizontal wings and the

  front edges of the molding parts.

  The profile rail can be inserted between two elements of

  wall, the wall elements resting, by their lower edge

  laughing or upper longitudinal edge, on the horizontal wings

  respective tales and the respective molding parts

  ves, so that, towards the outside, the elements of

  wall level with the front edges of the

  molding ties. At the rear, the wall elements

  are applied in abutment against the support wings. Rain-

  tongue res and shoulders are provided respective-

  on the lower edge or the upper edge of a material

  nière complementary to the ribs forming the tongue and the parts forming the shoulder of the horizontal wings vis-à-vis the parts forming the molding. In the inserted state, the ribs

  forming a tongue are engaged in the grooves for lan-

  watch and the shoulders adapt to the horizontal wings and to the molding parts which connect to them

  by the parts forming the shoulder.

  Another configuration variant resides in the fact that two profiled rails, each clamped between two elements

6 2789862

  respective wall, are fixed on a support being

  turned towards each other by their inner faces. Ain-

  if, there is a double wall structure which can be fitted on both sides, by the respective inlet, with support arms. Several supports constitute at the same time the amounts or the support set provided for the

  wall structure thus formed. There is the same possibility

  production unit for two profile rails each inserted

  from the rear in a respective wall element.

  Articles suspended directly or indirectly from

  support arms are products presented in maga-

  sins or exhibitions, or information media,

  such as press products or brochures about services

  vices offered. Regarding these items, it may also

  which must be kept in a ran-

  aged. For the indirect suspension of articles, the arms of

  support serve as support for a support element, present

  both for example in the form of a tablet, a basket or a box, which is used to receive the articles. Such a support element can be carried by one or more arms

of support.

  By means of the wall structure according to the invention, there are possibilities of arrangement and configuration which are well suited and effective for interior equipment, as a storage aid for objects of personal use. and professional

  and for store and exhibition structures.

At the location of the transitions from the outer central groove 11 to the support wings 12, 12 ', there are provided recesses 14, 14' in which positioning fingers can be placed when mounting a second piece of rail 1, so that the transition between the pieces of rail 1 appears as much as possible without jumping. It is planned, spanning each of the

  support wings 12, 12 ', a marking line 15, 15' respec-

  tive serving as orientation to provide holes for the

fixing screw passage.

  The base part 22 of the profiled rail 1 extends between the support wings 12, 12 ', forming the outer central groove 11. Respective horizontal wings 23, 23' extend above and below the base part 22, the support wings 12, 12 'standing perpendicularly on these horizontal wings. Tongue ribs 24, 24 'with multiple grooves rise upwards respectively from the upper horizontal wing 23 and downwards from the lower horizontal wing 23', these

  ribs forming a tongue being located substantially in position

  central position on the horizontal wings 23, 23 '. Have them-
