Definitions
- Holding device in particular shelf rail, for holding an object
- the invention relates to a holding device, in particular a shelf rail, for receiving an object, in particular a shelf label.
- Shelf rails are used in supermarkets, e.g. to be able to place conventional or electronic price tags, labels in general, flexibly on the respective product.
- shelf rails require special tools (see e.g. FR2857143) in order to be able to replace the price tags.
- special tools see e.g. FR2857143
- the replacement takes longer, which, with a large number of labels (sometimes a few thousand pieces), is associated with a substantial use of time resources.
- shelf rails that do not require special tools. In this case, the entire shelf rail must be deformed in order to insert or remove the label. With such shelf rails, it can also happen that a shopping cart driving against the shelf rail deforms it in such a way that the label can become detached from the shelf rail.
- the invention has therefore set itself the task of providing a holding device, in particular a shelf rail, in which the problems mentioned are overcome.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a holding device in particular a shelf rail, for holding an object provided for this purpose, in particular a label, the holding device having a first holding element, preferably having a hook-shaped cross section, which is designed to be movable, a second holding element, preferably having a hook-shaped cross section, the first holding element and the second Holding members are adapted to hold the object between them, and a guide device, wherein the guide device is configured such that the first holding member is movable substantially along a straight guide line.
- the measures according to the invention have the advantage that the object can be quickly inserted into and removed from the holding device without a special tool.
- the mobility of the first holding element ensures that the object inserted between the holding elements as intended is held there reliably by the holding elements and is only released by the movement of the first holding element so that it can then be removed from the holding device.
- the first holding element is first moved, then the object is positioned in the holding device or inserted into the holding device and the first holding element is moved back so that the object is again reliably held by the two holding elements.
- a highly stable holding device e.g. also made of plastic, can be realized in which the majority of the holding device is designed to be as stiff as possible and as deformable as possible.
- a holding device that is as stable as possible can be produced, with which there is no risk that it will release the object held by it in an undesired manner as a result of unplanned forces (e.g. a collision with a shopping trolley) and the resulting deformation.
- the holding device can also be a coupling device, for example, which is intended to temporarily hold objects, such as labels, on products, such as items of clothing.
- the holding device is preferably one Shelf rail, which as such forms a front end of a shelf on which products can be placed, or is attached to a bar attached to the front edge of the shelf.
- Such a holding device can also be provided on a product presentation table.
- the first holding element and the second holding element can, for example, have a hook-shaped cross section and/or be designed as a hook, an eyelet or a groove or a plurality or a combination of these elements.
- the holding elements can both be of the same or different nature, for example both can be designed as hooks or one holding element can be designed as a hook and the other as an eyelet or groove. If both holding elements are designed as hooks, these hooks can be directed towards one another or designed to look away from one another.
- the hook or the arm of the hook can also extend in several directions, so that the hook can also be designed in the shape of a button, for example.
- the object to be held can be, for example, sensors for detecting conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity, movement, occupancy of a shelf, etc.) in a store or on a shelf.
- the object can also be a camera.
- they are preferably labels for displaying product and/or price information.
- These labels can be analog or electronic labels.
- Such electronic tags can be, for example, tags with an NFC chip that are designed to send data to an external device, such as a mobile phone, or to receive data from an external device, such as a mobile phone.
- an electronic label can also have a screen on which content such as the product and/or price information mentioned is displayed.
- Such electronic labels are referred to in technical jargon as Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL). They typically have ultra-low power screens and can run on a battery.
- the holding device has a longitudinal extension (length) and, depending on the position in space, a width extension (width) or a vertical extension (height). Transverse to the plane through which Longitudinal extension and the height extension is spanned, the holding device also has a depth extension (depth).
- a number of objects can preferably be mounted or held on a holding device, which are usually positioned along the longitudinal extension of the holding device.
- the cross section in which the holding elements are defined in terms of shape preferably relates to that sectional plane normal to the longitudinal extent of the holding device.
- the first and second holding element therefore particularly preferably have a hook-shaped cross section in a sectional plane normal to the longitudinal extent of the holding device.
- the objects are also intended and designed to be held by the holding device and can have a first counter-holding element for interacting with the first holding element and a second counter-holding element for interacting with the second holding element.
- the object itself can also be shaped in such a way that it is held on its outside area, for example on the housing of the object, by the first and the second holding element of the holding device.
- the housing or parts of the housing of the object itself form the first and second counter-holding element.
- the housing can have indentations, strips or grooves in the area of its rear or its side walls, into which the holding elements (e.g. hook-shaped in cross section) can engage or these structures can engage behind in order to hold the object.
- the guiding device allows a movement of the first holding element along the guiding line.
- the first holding element is at least translationally movable over a range for the purpose of inserting and/or removing the object.
- the guiding device essentially allows movement along a straight guiding line. Essentially means here that other forms of movement are not completely excluded, but the main form of movement is given along the straight guiding line.
- a removal motion (caused by a person) is performed that causes the first holding element is displaced parallel to the guide line away from the second holding element, so that the contact of the first holding element with the first counter-holding element and/or the contact of the second holding element with the second counter-holding element can be released.
- an insertion movement (caused by a person) is performed, which causes the first holding element to be displaced parallel to the guide line away from the second holding element.
- This displacement parallel to the guide line initially frees up the space that is required so that the holding elements and the counter-holding elements can assume their desired position in order to insert the object into the holding device.
- the first holding element can be moved back into its starting position, so that the first and the second holding element hold the first and second counter-holding element, ie so that the holding device holds the object.
- the dimensions or structures of the object and the holding device can be coordinated in such a way that the object automatically shifts the first holding element parallel to the guide line or along the guide line due to its shape or dimensions when it is inserted, i.e. no additional user interaction is necessary to move the first holding element.
- the guiding device is designed in such a way that the guiding line runs essentially parallel to the connecting line between the first holding element and the second holding element.
- the guide device can be designed to that the leader line runs parallel to a connection line within this connection plane.
- the guiding device is preferably designed in such a way that the guiding line lies parallel to the shortest connecting line between the first holding element and the second holding element.
- the guiding device is preferably designed in such a way that the guiding line lies parallel to that connecting line between the first holding element and the second holding element, which lies in the sectional plane normal to the longitudinal extension of the holding device.
- the guide device is designed such that the guide line is normal to the shortest connecting line between the first holding element and the second holding element and normal to the longitudinal extent of the holding device.
- the guide device is designed such that the guide line is normal to the shortest connecting line between the first holding element and the second holding element and parallel to the longitudinal extension of the holding device.
- the guide device can be designed in such a way that, when no object is being held, a movement of the first holding element into that area in which the object is otherwise located is possible. This is the case, for example, when the guide device has a wall which restricts the movement of the first support element, but movement of the first support element away from the wall is not restricted.
- the guide device is designed in such a way that the first holding element can only be moved along the straight guide line.
- the first holding element can only be moved along the guide line.
- the first holding element therefore only performs a translatory movement. This measure can be prevented as far as possible that the object by other types of stress than those of the removal movement, so provided for the removal of the object movement and associated loads or force components can be removed from the holding device.
- the guiding device can be implemented in different ways for guiding the first holding element.
- the principle of a centering spider and/or a loudspeaker bead which is known from loudspeakers, can be used in order to implement the translatory linear guidance.
- several such spiders and/or loudspeaker beads can be provided for the implementation of the guide device, for example, which allow only a substantially translational movement normal to the areal expansion of the spider and/or the loudspeaker bead.
- the guide device has a first guide body, which can be moved together with the first holding element, and a second guide body, which is designed to be immovable relative to the second holding element, the second guide body being Body is designed to lead the first guide body parallel, in particular only parallel to the straight guide line.
- the first or second guide body can have pins or bolts, for example, and the other guide body can have bores, so that the pins or bolts are guided in the bore or the bore is guided along the pins or bolts.
- the first or second guide body can, for example, also have at least one tongue and the other guide body can have at least one groove, so that the tongue is guided in the groove or the groove is guided along the tongue, as is shown, for example is known in wood joining technology, although in the present case there is of course no non-positive connection between the tongue and groove in order to enable the relative movement of the two guide bodies.
- the first or second guide body can also each have at least one wall, so that the at least one wall of the second guide body guides the at least one wall of the first guide body.
- the second guide body is preferably a component of a groove formed along the longitudinal extent of the holding device, into which groove the first guide body can enter during its movement. The depth of the groove is dimensioned such that the first holding element can reliably release the object to be held.
- the groove walls are provided on the one hand by the (in the present case plate-shaped) second guide body and on the other hand by a central web of the holding device which is formed in a planar manner. If the object is inserted into the holding device, it rests essentially flat against this central web or is positioned just next to it.
- the width of the groove is dimensioned in such a way that the first guide body can be moved in the groove with as little or no friction as possible.
- the second guide body de facto forms a front planar guide wall and the central web forms a rear planar guide wall for the first guide body to be movable therebetween.
- the groove is provided on one end area of the central web of the holding device and the second holding element is provided on the other end area of the central web.
- the first guide body runs in the form of a plate along the longitudinal extent of the holding device.
- the holding device has a central web which connects the first holding element to the second holding element.
- the second holding element is preferably immovably connected to the central web.
- the first holding element is movably connected to the central web.
- the central web can also be designed to be correspondingly stable, e.g. correspondingly thick, in order to ensure the greatest possible stability or rigidity and thus to counteract forces that could cause the holding device to twist or bend.
- the mobility of the first holding element is ensured by a further structural measure, which is discussed in detail below.
- Fastening tabs can be provided on the rear side of the central web, which are connected to the central web at the upper edge and at the lower edge and have an opening in the middle (relative to the central web). They are used to attach a fastening strip (e.g. to the front edge of a shelf) from two sides (i.e. from above and below) and to attach the holding device to the fastening strip. Due to the central clearance, the holding device can be pushed onto the fastening strip from the side, so that the central web rests against one flat side of the strip, while the tabs grasp or touch the other (flat) side of the strip.
- the fastening tabs are therefore designed to make contact with a carrying device, in particular a shelf, so that the holding device can be mounted on the carrying device. This allows precise positioning of the holding device on the carrying device. For example, a shelf rail can be mounted on the shelf at a defined angle so that labels held in it are particularly easy to read.
- the holding device has a spring element which is designed to hold the first holding element in position and/or which is designed to press the first holding element against the object inserted into the holding device as intended.
- the spring element can be designed to hold the first holding element in a specific position. In this case, the spring element is essentially relaxed in the position in which it holds the object, that is to say up to, for example, a load from the weight of the object. Furthermore, the spring element can be dimensioned in such a way that the held object is held in its desired position in the holding device, but is not additionally clamped.
- the spring element can also be designed to direct the spring force onto the object when the object is inserted or held.
- the spring element can therefore be designed to press the first holding element against the object.
- the holding device is designed to hold and clamp the object.
- the first holding element can thus form a snap closure together with the spring element, in which the first holding element can only move in one plane and away from the object to be held. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if at least part of the spring element, preferably the entire spring element, is connected, preferably in one piece, to at least part of the guide device, preferably to the entire guide device. This means that the spring element and the guide device are manufactured together as a unit and/or together from a single material (part), for example in an injection molding process made of plastic. This allows the holding device to be manufactured inexpensively and economically. Time-consuming and possibly personnel-intensive assemblies during production can be reduced in this way or can be dispensed with altogether.
- such a holding device in which at least part of the spring element and at least part of the guide device are made of one material, has a guide device which, as discussed, has at least the first guide body and the second guide body, it is a good idea proved to be particularly advantageous if the first guide body is connected to the spring element, preferably is formed in one piece.
- the first guide body can be manufactured together with the spring element, as mentioned, e.g. in an injection molding process made of plastic.
- both the guide device and the spring element can be manufactured or realized together in a very small space and, above all, in a single work step.
- the spring element can be designed, for example, as a torsion spring or as a helical spring.
- the spring element can also have a torsion arc that stores the spring energy during torsion.
- the spring element is designed at least partially as a bending spring.
- a bending spring is to be understood here as meaning that the spring element is essentially designed to be subjected to bending stress and thereby absorb the clamping energy in order to release it again later.
- the spring element has at least one bending arc.
- the arc is preferably formed with a rounding, that is to say it has a radius at the apex, for example.
- the two legs of the bending arc change into a curved shape, in particular into a shape similar to a circle or a shape similar to a segment of a circle.
- the spring element is characterized in that the angle between the legs or the angle between sections of the two legs of the bending arc change when the first holding element moves.
- a pointed or wedge-shaped structure can also be provided, for example, instead of the bending arc.
- the peak loads to be expected at certain points or locally in comparison to the bending arch are compensated or absorbed by a suitable choice of material or the material thickness itself.
- Such a structure can therefore have two legs which merge into one another at the apex of the angle or are connected to one another at the apex of the angle.
- the energy absorbed in the spring element when the first holding element is moved can in any case be distributed particularly well over the deformable material, with the result that high local stresses in the spring element are avoided.
- This measure therefore contributes decisively to the longevity of the spring element and therefore also to the longevity of the entire holding device, in particular in the one-piece design.
- both the spring deflection and the spring stiffness can be precisely predefined.
- the at least one bending arc of the spring element extends between the central web and the first holding element.
- the bending arc preferably acts essentially directly on the central web. It is advantageous for this if the central web is rigidly connected to the second holding element at one end or end area and the bending arc essentially acts directly on the other end or end area of the central web.
- the bending bow is particularly preferably attached to that side of the central web which faces away from the object to be carried. The bending arc is therefore de facto on hidden at the back of the holding device. This allows for a very compact design, which leaves a lot of space on the front side of the holding device for holding the object.
- the spring element can thus be designed in such a way that it provides sufficient spring deflection without impairing the visual appearance of the holding device, which is usually viewed from the front.
- a spring element attached in this way also ensures that the movement of the parts of the spring element is limited to the areas below or behind the held object, so that the held object is unaffected.
- the end of the central web on which the bending arc acts is preferably the lower end of the central web, ie the end that is located below the other end when the holding device is used according to the invention.
- the spring element can thus be moved further out of the field of vision of an observer of the object.
- the holding device therefore preferably has a spring element which is connected to the first holding element and part of the guide device, in particular to the first guide body, or is made from one material together with the first holding element and/or part of the guide device .
- the holding device can, for example, be designed in such a way that the first guide body of the guide device can be moved along the second guide body of the second guide device, ie can slide on it, for example.
- An object support structure can also be provided here, which additionally holds the object used as intended in the desired position.
- This article support structure may be connected to the first guide body and the first holding member on one side and the spring member on the other side. However, the first guide body can also merge directly into the spring element.
- the first guide body thus merges into the first holding element and--directly or indirectly--into the spring element.
- the spring element now preferably has the bending arc, which increases the spring deflection and is particularly preferably directed away from the object held as intended.
- the spring element now ends in a rear or on an underside of the central web, the holding device, which is preferably formed from the same material as the spring element, so that the spring element is in one piece together with the central web.
- the other structural elements of the holding device, in particular the central web are significantly stiffer than the spring element with regard to the usual loading of the respective components when the holding device is used as intended, so that when an object is inserted and/or removed, deformations occur mainly or even exclusively in the spring element.
- the second guide body of the guide device can be provided on the central web, which guides the first guide body or prevents the first guide body and thus the first holding element from moving away from the central web.
- the first guide body and the second guide body can each have the wall that forms the free end of a hook-shaped cross section, the walls of the two guide bodies being able to be moved past one another or to slide off one another.
- the other side of the wall of the first guide body can be designed in such a way that the wall of the first guide body can be moved past the central web in places or the central web limits movement of the first holding device in the direction of the central web , so that the central web at this point represents or forms part of the guide device and implements a third guide body.
- the central web can merge into the fastening straps or form the fastening strap itself. In the further course of the structure, the central web merges into the second holding element.
- the second holding element is therefore connected to the central web and is sufficiently stable to prevent deformation of the second holding element when the object is inserted or removed.
- the central web is also designed to be very stable and stiff, so that no significant deformation occurs when it is inserted and removed.
- the central web On the side of the central web facing away from the second holding element, the central web forms the plate-like third guide body and transitions on the one hand into the second guide body facing towards the object and on the other hand into the first leg of the flexible arc of the spring element, facing away from the object.
- the bending arc is therefore designed to be more flexible than the guide bodies and the central web. In the case of production from one material by means of an injection molding process, this can be implemented particularly well in that the wall thickness of the bending arc or its legs is designed to be narrower or thinner than the wall thickness of the central web.
- the first leg can be seen as a cantilever beam that is firmly clamped in the idealized non-deformable central web.
- the central web can also be deformed if the load is sufficient, but it is characterized in that the deformation in the central web is very small compared to the deformation in the spring element.
- the first leg of the bending arc merges into the part of the bending arc—which is semicircular in the present case.
- the apex of the bending arc faces away from the object used as intended. This makes it possible to use the holding device to hold an object that partially or completely covers or projects beyond the guide device and the spring element. For example, a label can be held that is higher than the corresponding height of the holding device
- That part of the bending arc which is semicircular in the present case, merges into the second leg.
- the second leg merges into the article support structure.
- the second leg is more elastic than the object support structure, so that a translational movement of the object support structure is made possible without the object support structure being deformed, with a corresponding spring force being counteracted by the spring element of the translational movement.
- the object support structure is also plate-shaped and merges into the first holding element and the first guide body via a first connecting web.
- the first holding element is designed or positioned in such a way that there is sufficient space between the central web and the first holding element to accommodate the object provided for this purpose.
- the first guide body is designed or placed in such a way that the first guide body can be moved between the second and the third guide body and is guided by them.
- the second guide body is positioned at a distance from the central ridge and is plate-shaped and extends parallel to the front wall of the central ridge.
- a second connecting web which attaches to the lower end of the central web and whose dimensions define the distance between the central web and the second guide body, together with the third guide body and the second guide body, forms a shaft-shaped or groove-shaped guide structure , which forms part of the guide device and allows the first guide body to slide in only one plane within the guide structure. Since the first guide body is also plate-shaped and is connected to the first holding element, this means that when the holding device is viewed in cross section, the first holding element can only be moved away from the second holding element or towards the second holding element along the aforementioned straight line is movable. In addition, the elasticity of the movable elements (i.e.
- the first holding element and its connection to the spring element as well as the spring element itself is designed in such a way through the choice of material or wall thickness and/or the choice of material that the deformation when the first Retaining element limited to a relatively narrow area in the vicinity of the first retaining element along the longitudinal extension, so that any adjacent objects held by the holding device cannot fall out of the holding device unintentionally, that is, continue to be held.
- the holding device can have at least one blocking element, with which the movement of the first holding element can be blocked.
- a blocking element can be implemented, for example, by means of a wing screw and corresponding bores in the components of the guide device and/or in the first holding element.
- a worm screw etc. can of course also be used.
- the locking element can also be implemented, for example, with a bolt and a spring, so that the spring to lock the Pushes bolts into corresponding holes in the components of the guide device and/or the first holding element.
- the blocking element makes it possible to prevent the object from being taken out.
- the locking element can be used instead of the spring element, it can be used to fix the object in its position after insertion, so that the object is held securely by the holding device.
- the blocking element is used in addition to the spring element, it can be used to strengthen or secure the hold of the object in the holding device, so that the object does not fall out of the holding device even under heavy loads (e.g. unintentionally acting directly on the object). is prevented.
- the first and the second holding element can be designed as short holding elements which are intended to hold the object essentially in a punctiform manner.
- the first holding element can be formed from two narrow hooks which are intended to grip and hold the object at two points.
- the first holding element preferably extends essentially over the entire length or longitudinal extension of the holding device.
- the second holding element preferably also extends essentially over the entire length or longitudinal extent of the holding device.
- the first holding element and/or the second holding element are particularly preferably designed in the manner of rails.
- a rail-like design means that the cross section of the corresponding component is essentially constant along the longitudinal extent of the holding device.
- the holding elements it is also possible for only one of the holding elements to extend essentially over the entire length of the holding device, while the other holding element only extends over part of the length of the holding device or is realized several times at different locations along the longitudinal extension.
- the guiding device can be implemented in different ways.
- the guide device extends essentially over the entire length or longitudinal extension of the holding device.
- This measure also allows the holding device to be produced in a simple and therefore inexpensive manner. Furthermore, this embodiment avoids wedging when guiding the first holding element, because only one component has to be moved.
- the guide device is preferably designed in the manner of a rail.
- the spring element it is also advantageous for the spring element if the spring element extends essentially over the entire length or longitudinal extension of the holding device.
- the spring element prefferably has a rail-like design.
- the holding device has a protective lip which is designed in such a way that the protective lip touches the object when the object is held. Due to the geometry of the rest of the holding device, the protective lip can be designed in such a way that it touches the object exactly, or presses lightly against the object. It is thus possible to prevent contaminants, such as dust and/or liquids, from penetrating the area covered by the protective lip, ie in particular between the object and the holding device.
- the first retaining element and/or the second retaining element can each have a chamfer or curve, which is designed in such a way that the first retaining element is moved along the guide line.
- the first holding element is automatically moved away from its original position, so that the object can be brought into the intended position (by a person). This measure enables the object to be inserted quickly.
- the second holding element can also be designed to be movable.
- teaching disclosed here in relation to the first holding element can be transferred or applied to the second holding element.
- a second guiding device can therefore be provided for guiding the second holding element along a further guiding line or along the same guiding line along which the first holding element is guided.
- a second spring element and/or a second blocking element can also be provided.
- FIG. 1 shows a holding device with a spring element
- FIG. 2 shows part of a holding device with a spring element and a locking element
- FIG. 3 shows part of a holding device with a locking element
- FIG. 1 shows a holding device which is designed as a shelf rail 1 .
- the shelf rail 1 has a guide device 2 and a first holding element 3 with a hook-shaped cross-section, which first holding element 3 extends over the entire length of the shelf rail 1, and a second holding element 4 with a hook-shaped cross-section, which second Retaining element 4 extends over the entire length of the shelf rail 1 on.
- the shelf rail 1 has two fastening tabs 5 , a central web 10 , an article support structure 22 and a protective lip 6 .
- a right-hand Cartesian coordinate system 23 is shown in the lower left area of FIG. 1 (as in the other figures).
- the longitudinal extent of the shelf rail 1 here runs along the z-direction, which looks out of the plane of the drawing.
- the width extension of the shelf rail 1, which can also be understood here as the height extension of the shelf bills 1, runs here in the y-direction, which points from bottom to top in the figure.
- the depth of the shelf rail 1 runs in the x-direction, ie from left to right in the figure.
- the cross section of the shelf rail 1 is shown in the sectional plane normal to the longitudinal extension, ie normal to the z direction. The cutting plane is thus in or parallel to the x-y plane.
- the guide device 2 of the shelf rail 1 has a first guide body 7, which is connected to the first holding element 3, and a second guide body 8, which is immovable relative to the second holding element 4.
- the first guide body 7 and the second guide body 8 are plate-shaped and work together in such a way that the second guide body 8 guides the first guide body 7 in such a way that a movement of the first guide body 7 or the first Holding element 3 is prevented away from the central web 10.
- the guide device 2 in this exemplary embodiment has a third guide body 9 which is formed by part of the plate-shaped central web 10 and thus forms a (lower) part of the central web 10 .
- the third guide body 9 prevents a movement of the first guide body 7 and thus a movement of the first holding element 3 towards the central web 10.
- the first holding element 3 can only be moved in one plane due to the first guide body 7 being movable only between the second guide body 8 and the third guide body 9 , which plane runs parallel to the front wall of the central web 10 .
- the plane is indicated in the cross section shown by the guide line 11, which also indicates the direction along which the first holding element 3 can move. This guidance of the first holding element 3 takes place under general conditions that are determined by the design of the remaining components, as will be discussed below.
- the first holding element 3 connects to the first guide body 7, from where the object-supporting structure 22 extends, which opens into a spring element 12, which has a bending arc 13, which increases the spring length and which connects to the third guide -Body 9, which forms the lower end of the central web 10, connects.
- the flexure arc 13 curves at an angle of approximately 180° from the rear of the lower end of the central web 10 toward the article support structure 22.
- the first leg 13a of the flexure arch 13 connects to the rear of the central web 10 and the second leg 13b of the bending arc 13 connects to the object support structure 22.
- the spring element 12 holds the first holding element 3 in position and counteracts a movement of the first holding element 3 away from the second holding element 4, which movement is necessary to release the object, which in the present case is an electronic label 14, and subsequently to be able to extract.
- the spring element 12 extends over the entire length of the shelf rail 1 and is designed like a rail. When the first holding element 3 is deflected from the rest position, the desired spring effect occurs in the spring element 12 , which counteracts the movement of the first holding element 3 .
- the guide device 2 prevents the first holding element 3 from moving in the direction of the central web 10 or moving away from the central web 10 .
- the guide device 2 thus ensures here that only a movement of the first holding element 3 along the straight guide line 11 is possible. From a kinematic point of view, each material point of the first holding element 3 (apart from technically-related tolerances) can only be moved in a translatory manner along a straight path, with this path running parallel to the guide line 11 .
- the guide line 11 can thus be interpreted as one of these trajectories of any representative material point of the first support element 3, the rectilinear course of this Path is defined by the formation of the guide device 2 under the conditions specified by the spring element 12.
- the label 14 has a front side 15 and a back side 16 .
- the back 16 of the label 14 faces the front of the central web 10 of the shelf rail 1 when it is being held.
- the label 14 thus rests against the front of the central web 10 or is at least positioned adjacent thereto.
- On the face 15 of the label 14 is a screen that displays product and pricing information about a product.
- the label 14 has a first counter-holding element 17 with a hook-shaped cross section and a second counter-holding element 18 with a hook-shaped cross section.
- the counter-holding elements 17 and 18 are located on the back 16 of the label 14 or are formed from the extension of the back 16 .
- the label 14 is held by the shelf rail 1 in that the first holding element 3 holds or surrounds or grips the first counter-holding element 17 and the second holding element 4 the second counter-holding element 18 in such a way that in this state a displacement of the label 14 away from the central web 10, in the normal direction based on the central web 10 (ie in the x-direction), is prevented.
- FIG. 2 shows a detail of a further exemplary embodiment of the shelf rail 1 which has a guide device 2 and a spring element 12 .
- the shelf rail 1 in this exemplary embodiment has a locking element, the locking element being designed as a knurled screw 21a which is screwed through into a threaded hole in the third guide body 9 or in the central web 10 .
- the knurled screw 21a prevents the first guide body 7 and the first holding element 3 from moving away from the label 14.
- the trained personnel can simply unscrew the knurled screw 21a by hand and subsequently the first guide body 7 and thus also move the first holding element 3.
- FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment with the blocking element.
- the shelf rail 1 in 3 no spring element 12 on.
- a wing screw 21b is used in FIG.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show the insertion movement of the label 14 into the shelf rail 1 shown in FIG. 1.
- the first counter-holding element 17 is still in front of the first holding element 3 or in front of the bevel 20. If the label 14 and in particular its first counter-holding element 17 is now moved in the direction of the central web 10 (i.e. opposite to the x-direction), the first counter-holding element presses 17 against the chamfer 20 and it becomes the first holding element
- the first holding element 3 and the first guide body 7 are moved away from the second holding element 4 and the first guide body 7 dips into the groove between the second and the third guide body 8 and 9 .
- the first holding element 3 therefore only moves along the straight guide line 11 away from the second holding element 4.
- the bending arc 13 of the spring element 12 opens and the spring element 12 is tensioned.
- the spring element 12 thus presses the first holding element 3 along the guide line 11 toward the second holding element 4 .
- the first holding element 3 snaps in the direction of the second holding element 4 as a result of the spring force of the spring element 12, so that the first holding element 3 and the second holding element 4 again hold the label 14 securely.
- the first holding element 3 together with the spring element 12 thus forms a snap closure in which the first holding element 3 can only move in one plane and away from the label 14 to be held.
- the removal movement must be run through, which includes moving the label 14 away from the second holding element 4, i.e. towards the first holding element 3, until the second counter-holding element 18 on the second holding element
- the label 14 can then be removed from the first holding element 3 at an angle upwards.
- the first holding element 3 can also be pressed from above adjacent to the label 14, so that the movement of the first holding element 3 discussed above takes place.
- this must be unlocked before removal or locked after insertion.
- the guide device 2 can be designed in such a way that the first holding element 3 moves in the direction of the second holding element 4 as a result of gravity, or these movements can be carried out manually and the positions can be held by hand until the position is locked by means of a locking device 21a, 21b is fixed.
