Abstract

The present invention relates to a mounting hook l of a rack element to be engaged with a rack column, wherein the mounting hook comprises an impression in its flat area. By this, the stability of the hook is improved or, as an alternative, the opportunity is obtained to reduce the material input for the hook when the stability of the hook is not changed. In a preferred embodiment, the impression consists of a recess 2 consisting of two straight recess portions 21, 22 oriented orthogonal to each other and an arc-shaped recess portion 23 connecting those two recess portions. In a further preferred embodiment, the recess is formed in a similar way as the overall shape of the mounting hook 1.

Description

Mounting hook for frame components

The invention relates to mounting hooks for frame elements.

The modular shelf system is characterized in that they can each be combined and decomposed into individual components by their individual components. The modular structure of the rack gives the user the opportunity to combine different rack components to obtain a suitable shelf as desired. In particular, such shelves have proven themselves in the field of shop equipment, as they are individually customizable relative to the permanent range of changes to the goods.

Typically, a modular shelf system includes a plurality of posts that are vertically aligned by support members. These studs include punches or the like that can be adapted to extend vertically from the stud by the mounting bracket. The brackets can be adapted to carry a shelf. Also, the brackets include hooks that engage the punched holes of the posts to form a highly loadable connection between the different components. As a variant, other rack elements are also identical, for example, the rear wall of the rack or the side wall of the rack can be engaged with the punches by mounting hooks.

The punching of the stud generally corresponds to a trough-like or strip-like aperture which is arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the stud. An rack member is detachable by engaging one or more of the mounting hooks in the punching holes The ground is connected to the column.

In general, the mounting hook is made by processing a metal sheet. Therefore, the thickness of the mounting hook corresponds to the metal piece from which it is made. The hook comprises two identical side surfaces (flat areas of the hook) having a typical shape of a hook with which the engagement with the apertures in a column can be established.

This prior art technique includes a plurality of mounting hooks of different shapes, and this and other circumstances contribute to an attempt to achieve a high stability with low material input.

One of the objects of the present invention is to reduce material input while maintaining the stability of the mounting hook or to improve the stability of the mounting hook with the same material input.

This object is achieved by the mounting hook of one of the rack components requested in the claim 1 of the present application. Compared to conventional techniques, the mounting hook can achieve a higher stability with a constant material input or a lower material input to maintain the stability. This is achieved by an embossing of one of the flat (planar) areas of the mounting hook, resulting in an additional hardening of one of the mounting hooks.

These subsidiary request items describe more advantageous corrections to the installation hook.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows a top view of a flat region of an inventive mounting hook.

Figure 1 shows a mounting hook 1 for an rack element comprising a recess 2 in the flat region of the hook. The mounting hook 1 is integrated with an rack member 3 The ground is formed to attach the rack member 3 to a column (not shown). The groove 2 comprises a structure which is substantially composed of three sub-portions, that is, the two straight recesses 21, 22 are oriented perpendicular to each other, and the two straight recesses 21, 22 are connected to each other by an arc portion 23. . The three-part recess 2 is thus arranged in the substantial shape of the mounting hook 1. That is to say, in its basic shape, the recess 2 will extend in a manner similar to the mounting hook 1 integrally formed with the rack member 3 (e.g., a shelf wall, bracket or the like).

This recess 2 causes reinforcement of the mounting hook 1 so that the thickness of the hook can be reduced while still maintaining the same stability. Alternatively, the stability and hardness of the mounting hook 1 can be improved by the groove while maintaining the thickness.

In summary, the invention relates to a mounting hook 1 of a rack member to be engaged with a post, wherein the mounting hook comprises an embossing mark (groove) in its flat region. Thereby, the stability of the hook can be improved, or alternatively, it is possible to reduce the material input of the hook without changing the stability. In a preferred embodiment, the embossed mark is formed by a recess 2 comprising two straight recesses 21, 22 oriented orthogonally to each other, and a curved recess 23 connecting the recesses. In a more preferred embodiment, the recess is formed in a manner similar to the overall shape of the mounting hook 1.
