Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vertical support according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and a structural system for the modular construction of shelves with such a vertical support.
  • shelves are used, among other things, which are arranged free-standing in the room or can be grown or leaned against walls.
  • Such shelves typically consist of vertical supports that are placed directly or indirectly on a floor, as well as shelf bases or shelves that are attached to the vertical supports.
  • Objects in various designs, such as goods to be sold, can be set up and presented on the shelves or trays.
  • rooms can also be structured or subdivided with free-standing shelves.
  • the vertical supports of such shelves are or often comprise tubes with a hollow interior. Such tubes can provide useful stability without being bulky and heavy. So that the shelves can be flexibly attached to the vertical supports at different heights, the vertical supports are often equipped with perforations into which a connector can be hung. The shelves are then placed on the connector and are attached to the vertical supports at a selected height.
  • the vertical supports are equipped with a busbar that runs along the perforations inside the tube.
  • the current can then be tapped by suitable consumers or connectors through the perforations at a suitable height.

  • the square tube is provided with two parallel rows of perforations.
  • the system also includes consoles as connectors that can be designed to carry trays.
  • the consoles are at least partially equipped with an adapter, via which current can be tapped from the current profile and fed from the inside of the square tube onto the shelf.
  • a vertical support comprises a hollow tubular body, a flow profile and a cover.
  • the current profile is equipped with at least one conductor track.
  • the cover is designed to cover a longitudinal end of the flow profile. In particular when the current profile is arranged in the tubular body, the cover can cover the current profile.
  • the tubular body has a quasi circular inner cross section and is equipped with at least one row of perforations. The perforations are each designed to receive a connector for attaching a shelf element to the vertical support.
  • the flow profile extends along the tubular body when it is arranged within the tubular body.
  • the cover is equipped with an alignment structure which - when the cover is arranged on the tubular body - keeps the current profile aligned within the tubular body in such a way that contact can be made with the conductor path through the perforations in the tubular body.

  • the external cross-section is also approximately circular.
  • the wall is quasi ring-shaped in cross section.
  • the perforations can be provided in a simple and expedient embodiment as bores or openings or slots in the tubular body. They can be shaped with a horizontal lower edge so that the connectors can be hung in a stable and secure manner.
  • the perforations can have a rectangular or square cross section.
  • the cover and in particular its alignment structure can be made of a sufficiently strong material so that the current profile can be held securely.
  • it can be made of a metal such as zinc or steel or a solid or high-strength plastic.
  • the shelf element can in particular be a shelf or a frame of such a floor.
  • a stable shelf can already be set up using two such frames or shelves together with four vertical supports.
  • Another support structure such as a suspension rod, can also be provided as the shelf element.

  • the core area preferably has a quasi-square outer circumference in cross section.
  • the cross section can in particular be in one plane lie at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the core area.

  • the cover advantageously comprises a plurality of frictional locking elements which enable the cover to be securely and uniformly connected to the tubular body.
  • the frictional connection element of the cover is preferably designed resiliently so that it is pressed against the tubular body when the cover is arranged on the tubular body.
  • the cover can be designed in such a way that the frictional connection element is elastically deformed when it is moved or pushed into the tubular body. Due to the elasticity, it is possible to press against the tubular body or a wall of the tubular body, so that a sufficiently strong form fit is generated.
  • the tubular body comprises a longitudinal axis
  • the cover is designed so that it is at least partially insertable in an insertion direction along the longitudinal axis in the tubular body and that the force-locking element blocks a movement against the insertion direction when the cover is at least partially in the Tubular body is inserted.
