Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shelf for holding objects that is composed of individual shelf elements which are arranged one above the other. At its four corners, the shelf has vertical angular profiles to which shelves are affixed. The shelves descend from back to front so that the objects can slide forward. With the exception of a bottom alignment, the angular profiles of the other shelf elements are arranged so that the top ends of the two rear angular profiles are higher than the two front angular profiles.
  • connection is made in such a way that the ends of the angular profiles are connected to each other, whereby the bottom ends for example are shaped in such a way that their legs are recessed inward. As a result, the ends in their end area lie flat against each other, whereby the outsides of the angular profiles are flush (DE 29614168).
  • the invention is based on the problem of designing a shelf element that is intended for use with other shelf elements in such a way that the connection of the neighboring shelf elements to the angular profiles can be made without losing space.
  • the invention proposes a shelf element having the features of claim 1 and/or a shelf element having the features of claim 2 . Modifications of the invention are the subject of subclaims.
  • top and/or bottom panel element or cutout in the side wall directly in the area of the angular profiles ensures that the bottom ends of the top (or the top ends of the bottom) neighboring shelf element can be advanced further than would be allowed by the position of the top and/or bottom panel element or sidewall.
  • a particularly easy type of cutout in the top and/or bottom panel element is provided by cutting off the corners at an angle.
  • the resulting edge runs approximately along a hypotenuse of the angle formed by the two legs of the angular profile.
  • the initially-cited design of the panel element can for example be only in the area of the two front angular profiles, or only in the area of the two rear angular profiles depending upon the use.
  • the top cover panel only in the area of the two front angular profiles. The same holds true for the side walls.
  • shelf element that is designed as a cabinet unit, i.e. that has two side walls, one rear wall, and one top and one bottom panel, and where the front is closed by a door.
  • FIG. 1 Perspective view of a shelf element designed as a cabinet unit
  • FIG. 2 Plan view of a corner of the shelf element in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 Enlargement of a side view of the front, top corner area.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a shelf element that is designed as a cabinet unit and is intended to be assembled together with other vertically adjoining shelf elements to form a shelf.
  • the shelf element contains four angular profiles 1 that run vertically and all have the same length.
  • the two legs of the profile face inward so that the inside of the angle between the two legs faces to the inside.
  • the shelf element contains a top cover panel 2 and a bottom panel that cannot be seen in the perspective view in FIG. 1 .
  • the shelf element contains a left side wall 3 and a right side wall 4 that cannot be seen in FIG. 1 .
  • the cabinet unit can be closed at the back by a rear wall.
  • the side walls 3 , 4 are arranged between the angular profiles 1 so that they are connected (for example by welding) to the insides of the facing legs of the angular profiles.
  • the top cover panel 2 and the floor are connected (for example by welding) to the side walls 3 , 4 .
  • the angular profiles 1 of the shelf element all have the same length but are arranged so that the two, rear angular profiles 1 h are higher than the two, front angular profiles 1 .
  • the shelf element is closed by a door 5 .
  • This shelf element is intended for example to be connected to another shelf element that is arranged above the portrayed shelf element.
  • This shelf element therefore also contains four angular profiles 1 at the corners that are shaped in their bottom area (see FIG. 3 ) in such a way that the two legs are recessed inward by the thickness of the material of the angular profiles.
  • the outside 12 of the bottom areas 11 of the angular profiles 1 thuslie flat against the inside of the legs of the angular profiles 1 of the bottom shelf elements when they are connected to the bottom shelf element.
  • top ends 9 of the front angular profiles 1 only extend slightly above the top side of the top panel element 2 .
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the right, front corner area of the shelf element.
  • the angular profile 1 contains two legs 8 that, as is usual with angular profiles, form a right angle.
  • the leg 8 facing the rear is welded to the inside of the side wall 4 .
  • the side wall 4 can for example be designed as a single piece with the top panel element 2 that is then bent at a right angle to thereby form the panel element 2 .
  • This panel element 2 is cut off at an angle opposite the inside of angular profile 1 and forms an edge 7 there that leaves space between the two legs 8 of the angular profile 1 .
  • the top panel element 2 is bent slightly upward.
  • Cutting off of the top panel element 2 at an angle allows an angular profile to be inserted from above with its bottom end 11 that is bentinward in such a way that the bottom edge 13 of said angular profile lies below the top side of the top panel element 2 .
  • a different way of cutting off the corner of the panel element 2 would also be sufficient; however, cutting it off at an angle is the easiest method.
  • FIG. 3 shows the bottom area 11 of the angular profile 1 of a top shelf element opposite angular profile 1 of the bottom shelf element shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the side wall 4 whose top edge 14 coincides with the top side of the top panel element 2 has, in the area of its top edge, a cutout 15 that is designed so that the inside of the leg 8 remains free over a certain area at this location. Below the cutout 15 , the side wall 4 is connected to the inside of the leg 8 of the angular profile 1 , for example by welding.
  • this cutout 15 and the cut-away corner area of the panel element 2 makes it possible to shove the bottom end area 11 of the top angular profile sufficiently downward so that the fastening holes 16 of the top angular profile coincide with the fastening holes of 16 in the bottom angular profile. Screw connections for example can then be made.
  • the distance between the rear edge 17 of the cutout 15 from the front edge 18 of the sidewall 4 is larger than the inside length of the leg 8 of the angular profile 1 .
  • the bottom ends of the angular profile 1 of the shelf elements are bent inward, whereas the top ends remain unchanged. Consequently, the cutouts are formed in the top panel element and in the bottom edges of the sidewalls 3 , 4 .
  • Shelf elements are of course also possible in which the top ends of the angular profiles are bentinward, and the bottom ends remain unchanged.
  • the corner areas are shaped in the bottom panel element, and the cutouts 15 are in the area of the bottom edges of the side walls 3 , 4 .
