Definitions

• the present invention relates to an arrangement for a hollow profile moulding arranged to support objects with profile mouldings capable of being connected together in a vertical sense, arranged transversely in relation to one another by means of a coupling preferably of the tongued and grooved type and with openings between the mouldings, which mouldings exhibit front pieces arranged at a mutual distance from one another with an opening formed in between for the purpose of accommodating the object support, and with the provision of means for the detachable supporting of sheet-shaped panels.
• the supporting of objects is already familiar by the use of bearers, which are accommodated in such a way as to be capable of detachable attachment to hollow profile mouldings, which are so arranged as to be capable of being connected together in a vertical sense, for example along a wall, or as to be supported by some other means.
• the hollow profile mouldings are thus arranged transversely in relation to one another by means of an interjacent coupling of the tongued and grooved sprung type.
• the mouldings exhibit front pieces, which are arranged vertically at a mutual distance from one another so that openings are formed in between.
• Object supports can be accommodated in this way in the opening formed in between.
• Means are provided for the detachable support of sheet-shaped panels.
• EP-A2-0 279 418 shows a supporting arrangement in which, however, a constant distance exists between the openings in which object supports are secured, without any possibility for variation. Means for the detachable supporting of sheet-shaped panels are also permanently attached to the mouldings, and the height of the panels thus remains constant, without any possibility of creating high or low panel areas.
• FR-A1-2 578 732 also shows the existence of a supporting wall for shops, on which the possibility of supporting panels is not provided, however. The principal object of the present invention is thus to make available an arrangement of the kind referred to above, which solves the aforementioned negative aspect in a simple and effective manner by appropriate simple means.
• Fig. 1 shows a schematic front view of connected hollow profile mouldings and associated connecting parts
• Fig. 2 shows the rear side of a hollow profile moulding shown in Fig. 1;
• Fig. 3 shows the inside of a single cover strip;
• Fig. 4 shows the inside of a double cover strip
• Fig. 5 shows the inside of a triple cover strip.
• the mouldings 2 exhibit front pieces 6-8, which are arranged in the vertical sense of the moulding at a mutual distance X from one another, so that an opening 9 is formed in between next to each front piece 6-8 in such a way as to permit the accommodation of object supports 10, 11 of the desired kind, for example shelves, brackets, hangers, holders, hooks and prongs, etc.
• the arrangement 1 also includes means 12, 13 which permit the detachable supporting of sheet-shaped panels 14-16 along the outside 17 of the profile mouldings 2.
• the arrangement 1 comprises a number of cover strips 18, 19, 20 which are detachable after they have been connected to the intended profile moulding 2.
• Said cover strips 18-20 exhibit coupling elements 21-29 facing inwards in the direction of an intended profile moulding 2, to which the cover strips 18-20 are so adapted as to be suitable for connection, which coupling elements are capable of interacting with a common profile front piece 8 or, alternatively, with separate profile front pieces 6-7; 7- 6; 6, 7, 8; 7-8; 8-8.
• panel fixing devices 12, 13, Arranged along the front surface 18A- 20A of the strips 18-20 are panel fixing devices 12, 13, which function as means for the detachable accommodation of said sheet-shaped panels 14-16 on the outside 18A-20A of the respective cover strip 18-20.
• the cover strips 18-20 With the cover strips 18-20 in the position in which they are connected to a hollow profile strip 2, the cover strips 18-20 thus form panel holders, in conjunction with which it is still possible to obtain a gap between connected cover strips 18-19; 19-20, etc., to the securing opening 30 formed between said cover strips.
• the front pieces 6, 7, 8 of the hollow profile mouldings 2 are appropriately situated at an essentially identical mutual distance X from one another, viewed in the vertical sense 31.
• Interjacent front pieces 8 can exhibit a width II, viewed in the vertical sense 31, such that the width I of the end front pieces 6, 7 is essentially one half of the width II of the interjacent front pieces 8.
• the invention thus permits cover strips 18-20 of varying width III; IV; V in the vertical sense to be used in such a way, when in the connected position, as to span one, two or more of said front pieces 6-8, and the accommodating opening 9 and openings 9, 9 ... in quest ⁇ ion situated in between , what is achieved in this way, apart from the fact that the appearance of the constructed wall 32 is changed entirely-in relation to the use front pieces, etc., of identical width, is a different function.
• racks 10, 11, etc. can be supported at greater spacings, viewed in the vertical sense 31.
• Said cover strips 18-20 exhibit on their rear sides 18B-20B coupling elements 21, 22; 25, 26; 28, 29 at least at their lower edge and upper edge, viewed in the vertical sense, when said cover strips are held essentially horizontally with their surface plane lying essentially vertically.
• the coupling elements 21-29 may suitably be formed from channels extending in the longitudinal sense of the respective cover strip, which channels are so arranged as to be capable of engaging around lower and upper edges 33, 34 on said front pieces 6-8.
• a snap-in function may be provided in at least some of said coupling elements 21-29, in order to permit their positive engagement around the edge 33, 34 of the front piece 6-8.
• said pairs of mutually opposing coupling elements 12-13 in the cover strips 18-20 arranged in a row, viewed in the vertical sense 31, also form shoes for the edges of the front pieces, so that object supports 10, 11, which are accommodated with their fixing part 10A, 11A introduced into the opening 30 formed between the cover strips 18, 20 and the opening 9 between the front pieces 6-8, are gently but securely accommodated in the space 38 formed inside the profile moulding 2 in question.
• Panels 14-16 of the desired kind can then be pressed in from the front or pushed in from the side, as shown in Fig. 1, into said cover strips 18-20, and can be attached by means of the panel fixing devices 12, 13. Strips of photographs, pictures, text, reflective film, metal strips, plastic strips and wooden strips, etc. , may all possibly be held and secured in the manner described above.
• Object supports 10, 11 of various kinds may then be so arranged as to be accommodated in the manner described above and shown in Fig. 1 in openings 9, 30 which are formed, remain and are visible and accessible from the outside, for example by the introduction of suitable fixing parts 10A, 11A from the front or, alternatively, from the side.
• suitable fixing parts 10A, 11A from the front or, alternatively, from the side.
• the invention is not, however, restricted to the illustrative example described above and shown in the drawings, but may be varied within the scope of the patent claims without departing from the idea of invention.
• the material used in the different components is preferably plastic or metal, such as aluminium, although the use of other materials may be considered. Extrusion of the components is also preferred.
