Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a shelf with a closed support frame enclosing the shelf and a limiting wall element movably arranged on this support frame, especially in a column" or support device. Relating to a shelf surrounded by a frame structure that can be hung.

When the support structure comprises a column or support wall with a mechanism for releasably inserting and securing extension strips and the like, the shelf may not be mounted by a cantilever assembly method. This is often desirable. Frame elements that, if appropriate, can also be used to fix limiting walls that prevent items stored on the shelves from falling, both for aesthetic reasons and to obtain a stable table structure. It is customary to provide such shelves with heavy weights.

It is preferable to make such a limiting wall removably on the shelf. For this purpose, it is customary to provide on the frame structure a groove or guide element into which the limiting wall is loosely inserted. However, this means that only wall elements with a relatively narrow range of wall thicknesses are retained satisfactorily in the device, whereas wall receivers designed for a particular wall thickness are easily pushed out. Even worse, the consistency is worse than 9k.
This is disadvantageous in that it gives an uninteresting impression from the outside. In addition to this, the stability of the restriction wall is poor and the support frame is also susceptible to deformation, especially when lightweight structures are used.

For the purposes of the invention, it is therefore provided that the shelf in question is provided with a support frame, the structural parts of which on the one hand are of a dimensionally rigid construction, preferably on the modular principle. structure and, on the other hand, with a device for securing the limiting wall element.

This object is achieved by the invention as defined in claim 1. Preferred embodiments of this invention emerge from the embodiment section of the patent claims.

Hereinafter, representative embodiments of the subject matter of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The shelves designed according to the invention and releasably inserted by means of hooks 2 that are plugged or hooked into the support structure or support device (column structure) 1 of the column as shown in FIG. 1 are assembled on a modular principle.
