Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tragein­richtung für Warenpräsentierelemente, insbesondere für die Aufstellung in Verkaufs- und Vorführräumen, nach dem Ober­begriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a carrying device for product presentation elements, in particular for installation in sales and demonstration rooms, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es ist üblich, Warenpräsentierelemente z.B. in der Form von Auslegern zur Aufnahme von Kleiderbügeln in Konfektionsverkaufsräumen oder Tablaren zur Präsentation von Stückgütern zusammen mit Ständern oder Wandhalterungen zu kombinieren. Präsentiereinrichtungen dieser Art sind namentlich bei Gestaltungen nach dem Baukastensystem sehr anpassungsfähig sowohl an räumliche Gegebenheiten als auch an die zu präsentierenden Gegenstände. Es sind an Tragwän­den bzw. Tragsäulen einhängbare Auslegerkombinationen auf dem Markt, an welchen Kleidungsstücke in Frontansicht und von der Seite sichtbar präsentierbar sind. Freistehende Präsentiergestellanordnungen gelangen in vielen Formen, auch mit höhenverstellbaren Auslegern sowie schwenk- und rundum drehbaren Trägern versehen, in Bekleidungsverkaufs­räumen zur Anwendung.It is common to display goods, e.g. in the form of brackets to hold hangers in ready-made salesrooms or trays for the presentation of piece goods together with stands or wall brackets. Presentation devices of this type are particularly adaptable to designs based on the modular system, both in terms of space and the objects to be presented. There are boom combinations that can be hung on the supporting walls or supporting columns, on which items of clothing can be visibly presented from the front and from the side. Freestanding display rack assemblies are used in clothing stores in many forms, including with height-adjustable brackets and swiveling and all-round rotatable supports.

Indessen sind an Säulen und Tragwänden einhäng­bare Auslegeranordnungen stark ortsgebunden und meist nur in der Präsentierhöhe anpassbar. Ständereinrichtungen sind vor allem leicht ortsveränderlich, lassen sich aber nur bedingt in Dekorationsprojekte einbeziehen, die die Prä­sentation unterschiedlicher Gegenstände vorsehen.In the meantime, boom assemblies that can be hung on columns and supporting walls are highly localized and can usually only be adjusted at the presentation height. Stand equipment is primarily easy to move, but can only be used to a limited extent in decoration projects that involve the presentation of different objects.

Die Erfindungsaufgabe besteht darin, eine Trag­einrichtung für Warenpräsentierelemente zu schaffen, die sowohl räumlichen als auch ästhetischen Anforderungen der jeweiligen Warenpräsentation leicht anpassbar ist.The object of the invention is to create a support device for product presentation elements that is easily adaptable to both spatial and aesthetic requirements of the respective product presentation.

Die erfindungsgemässe Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht aus den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 hervor. Ausführungsformen davon sind durch die abhängigen Ansprüche definiert.The achievement of this task according to the invention is evident from the characterizing features of patent claim 1. Embodiments thereof are defined by the dependent claims.

Der Hauptvorteil der erfindungsgemässen Trag­einrichtung ist, dass beliebig gebrochene lineare und sternförmige Anordnungen der Trageinrichtung den örtlich vorhandenen Platzverhältnissen genau angepasst aufstell­bar sind. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist die Bodenfreiheit zwi­schen benachbarten Säulengliedern durch die Höhenlage des sich zwischen den Säulengliedern erstreckenden Stütz­balken.The main advantage of the carrying device according to the invention is that any broken linear and star-shaped arrangements of the carrying device can be set up precisely adapted to the available space. Another advantage is the ground clearance between adjacent column members due to the height of the support beam extending between the column members.

An mit einer breit greifenden Bodenauflage 1, z.B. in der Form eines Tellerfusses 1.1 (Fig. 3) versehenen freistehenden Säulen 2 sind im Bereich von Kupplungs­ringen 3 Stützbalken 4 angeschlossen. Diese Stützbalken 4, welche sich jeweils zwischen zwei Säulen 2 erstrecken, besitzen an ihren beiden Enden eine Kupplungs­vorrichtung in der Form eines Schieber- oder Hakengesperres, dessen Details zusammen mit Details einer Ausführungs­form der Kupplungsringe 3 anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 be­schrieben sind. An den Kupplungsringen 3 können ferner sogenannte fliegende Stützbalken 4.1 von geringerer Länge als die Stützbalken 4 angebaut sein, welche an ihrem äusseren Ende mit einer fest daran angeschlossenen Hilfssäule 2.1 als Stützglied versehen sind. Diese Stütz­balken sind vorzugsweise Rohrabschnitte aus Rund- oder Polygonrohrprofilen. In deren Oberfläche sind Bohrungen 5 für die direkte oder indirekte Aufnahme von Stützglie­dern 6 von Warenpräsentierelementen in der Form von Klei­derbügelträgern 7, 7′, 7˝, Tablarträgern 8, 8′, Auslege­tischen 9 usw. oder Führungsträger 10 für Glas- oder Plakatwände 11 angebracht, welche Bohrungen zusammen mit (nicht gezeigten) Führungs- oder Klemm-Mitteln ein be­quemes Auswechseln der genannten Trägerelemente gestatten.On with a wide floor covering 1, e.g. in the form of a plate foot 1.1 (Fig. 3) provided free-standing columns 2 3 support beams 4 are connected in the region of coupling rings. These support beams 4, which each extend between two columns 2, have at their two ends a coupling device in the form of a slide or hook ratchet, the details of which are described together with details of an embodiment of the coupling rings 3 with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. So-called flying support beams 4.1 of shorter length than the support beams 4 can also be attached to the coupling rings 3, which are provided at their outer ends with an auxiliary column 2.1 firmly connected to them as a support member. These support beams are preferably tubular sections made of round or polygonal tubular profiles. In the surface holes 5 are provided for the direct or indirect reception of support members 6 of goods display elements in the form of clothes hanger carriers 7, 7 ', 7', tray carriers 8, 8 ', delivery tables 9, etc. or guide beams 10 for glass or billboards 11 , which holes together with (not shown) guide or clamping means allow a convenient replacement of the support elements mentioned.

Die Fig. 2a-d zeigen Gestaltungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemässen Trageinrichtung im Grundriss. In Fig. 2a ist eine längs einer gekrümmten Linie etwa parallel zu einer Gebäudewand 12 disponierte lineare Anordnung von Säulengliedern 2 und Stützbalken 4 gezeigt, welche mit beliebigen Warenpräsentierelementen, z.B. nach Fig. 1 versehen sein können. An einem Stützbalken 4.2 davon kann beispielsweise ein Betrachtungs- oder Packtisch 13 auf­gebaut sein. Die Konfigurationen b-d zeigen I, V und Y-Anordnungen von Säulengliedern 2 und 2.1 mit Stütz­balken 4 und 4.1, die in der nach Fig. 1 dargestellten Art mit Trägerelementen ver­sehen werden können. Die Winkelbeziehungen zwischen be­nachbarten Stützbalken 4 in den V- und Y-Anordnungen sind im Rahmen der Anschlussmöglichkeiten der Stützbalken 4 an einem Kupplungsring 3 variierbar. Dies geht aus der Er­läuterung zur Fig. 5 hervor.2a-d show design examples of the Carrying device according to the invention in plan. FIG. 2a shows a linear arrangement of column members 2 and supporting beams 4, which are arranged along a curved line and approximately parallel to a building wall 12, which can be provided with any desired product presentation elements, for example according to FIG. 1. A viewing or packing table 13 can, for example, be constructed on a support beam 4.2 thereof. The configurations bd show I, V and Y arrangements of column members 2 and 2.1 with support beams 4 and 4.1, which can be provided with support elements in the manner shown in FIG. 1. The angular relationships between adjacent support beams 4 in the V and Y arrangements can be varied within the scope of the connection options of the support beams 4 to a coupling ring 3. This can be seen from the explanation of FIG. 5.

Das nach Fig. 3 partiell geschnittene Säulen­glied 2, an dem zwei Stützbalken 4 angeschlossen sind, ist aufgebaut aus einem mit der Bodenauflage 1 verschraubten Basiselement 14, und einem ersten rohrförmigen Mantel­stück 15, auf dem ein erster Kupplungsring 3 zentriert und aufgesteckt ist. Auf diesen ersten Kupplungsring 3 folgt ein zweites rohrförmiges Mantelstück 6 in der Art eines Distanzelementes zu einem zweiten Kupplungsring 3, auf den ein drittes rohrförmiges Mantelstück 17 folgt. Die Totallänge der Mantelstücke 15, 16 und 17 kann vari­abel sein und legt somit die Bauhöhe des Säulengliedes fest. Das oberste Mantelstück 17 ist durch eine Abschluss­kappe 18 abgeschlossen, die im Mantelstück 17 zentriert ist. Die Bauteile des Säulengliedes 2 sind durch einen Schraubbolzen 19 zusammengehalten, dessen Kopfende 19.1 unten am Basiselement 14 anliegt und dessen Gewindeende 19.2 in eine Schraubnabe 18.1 an der Abschlusskappe 18 eingreift.The partially sectioned column member 2 according to FIG. 3, to which two support beams 4 are connected, is composed of a base element 14 screwed to the floor support 1, and a first tubular jacket piece 15, on which a first coupling ring 3 is centered and attached. This first coupling ring 3 is followed by a second tubular jacket piece 6 in the manner of a spacer element to a second coupling ring 3, which is followed by a third tubular jacket piece 17. The total length of the jacket pieces 15, 16 and 17 can be variable and thus defines the overall height of the column member. The uppermost jacket piece 17 is closed by an end cap 18 which is centered in the jacket piece 17. The components of the column member 2 are held together by a screw bolt 19, the head end 19.1 of which rests at the bottom on the base element 14 and the threaded end 19.2 of which engages in a screw hub 18.1 on the end cap 18.

Das Basiselement 14 enthält eine Ankerplatte 20, die in das erste Mantelstück 15 eingeschweisst ist und mit diesem oben bündig auf der als Tellerfuss 1. ge­stalteten Bodenauflage 1 aufliegt. Diese ist mittels Schrauben 21 mit der Ankerplatte 20 lösbar verschraubt.The base element 14 contains an anchor plate 20, which is welded into the first jacket piece 15 and lies flush with the top of this on the base support 1 designed as a plate foot 1. This is detachably screwed to the anchor plate 20 by means of screws 21.

Der Aufbau der Kupplungsringe 3 geht am besten aus dem Schnitt in Fig. 3 hervor, während eine Gestal­tungsart des Stützbalkenanschlusses anhand den Fig. 4 und 5 erläutert wird. In Fig. 3 sind zweckmässig gleich­geformte und spiegelsymmetrisch angeordnete Flanschringe 21 gezeigt, die eine innenliegende ringförmige Ausnehmung 22 festlegen. Die beiden Flanschringe 21 sind durch Schrauben 23 fest miteinander verbunden und bilden ein käfigartiges Gebilde, an welchem ein durch Randstege 24 axial begrenzter Eintrittsschlitz 25 radial einwärts zu einem durch die Ausnehmungen 22 begrenzten ringförmigen Klemmraum 26 führt. Die Flanschringe 21 sind ferner mit je einem peripheren Einstich 27 versehen, durch welche sie in den benachbarten Mantelstücken 15 bzw. 16 bzw. 17 zentriert sind.The structure of the coupling rings 3 can best be seen from the section in FIG. 3, while a design of the support beam connection is explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In Fig. 3 expediently shaped and mirror-symmetrically arranged flange rings 21 are shown, which define an internal annular recess 22. The two flange rings 21 are firmly connected to one another by screws 23 and form a cage-like structure, on which an inlet slot 25 axially delimited by edge webs 24 leads radially inward to an annular clamping space 26 delimited by the recesses 22. The flange rings 21 are also each provided with a peripheral recess 27, by means of which they are centered in the adjacent jacket pieces 15 or 16 or 17.

An beiden Enden der Stützbalken 4 sind gemäss den Fig. 4 und 5 auf den Balkenenden zentrierte Kupplungs­vorrichtungen 28 vorgesehen, deren Hauptteile ein Klemm­block 29 mit einem Riegel 30 und einer Sperrnase 30.1, sowie ein axial beweglicher Sperrschieber 31 sind. Der Riegel 30 samt der Sperrnase 30.1 sind Teile des Klemm­blocks 29, und ihre Gesamthöhe ist etwas geringer als die des Eintrittsschlitzes 25 zum Klemmraum 26 am Kupplungsring 3, um den Kupplungsvorgang zu ermöglichen. Der axial bewegliche Sperrschieber 31 ist in einem Füh­rungsschlitz im Klemmblock 29 gelagert. Zur Befestigung des Klemmblocks 29 am Stützbalkenende ist dieses rohr­innenseitig mit einem eingeschweissten Montageboden 32 versehen, welcher neben Gewindebefestigungslöchern auch eine Durchtrittsöffnung 32.1 für den Sperrschieber 31 als dessen zweite Lagerungsstelle in der Kupplungsvor­richtung 28 enthält. Der Sperrschieber 31 ist mittels einer Hebelanordnung 33, die in einer Stützgabel 35 am Klemmblock 29 schwenkbar gelagert ist, zwischen einer Freigabe- und einer Blockierstellung verschiebbar.4 and 5, coupling devices 28 are provided on both ends of the support beams 4, the main parts of which are a clamping block 29 with a bolt 30 and a locking lug 30.1, and an axially movable locking slide 31. The bolt 30 together with the locking lug 30.1 are parts of the clamping block 29, and their total height is somewhat less than that of the entry slot 25 to the clamping space 26 on the coupling ring 3 in order to enable the coupling process. The axially movable locking slide 31 is mounted in a guide slot in the clamping block 29. For fixing of the clamping block 29 at the end of the support beam, this is provided on the inside of the tube with a welded-in mounting base 32 which, in addition to threaded fastening holes, also contains a passage opening 32.1 for the locking slide 31 as its second bearing point in the coupling device 28. The locking slide 31 is displaceable between a release position and a blocking position by means of a lever arrangement 33 which is pivotably mounted in a support fork 35 on the clamping block 29.

Beim Zusammenbau der Stützbalken 4 und der Säulenglieder 2 ist zu beachten, dass sich der Sperr­schieber 31 in seiner zurückgezogenen Stellung befindet. Der Riegel 30 samt Sperrnase 30.1 kann dann durch den Eintrittsschlitz 25 des Klemmraumes 26 in diesen einge­führt und so darin abgesetzt werden, dass die Sperrnase 30.1 in die untere Ausnehmung 22 eingreift. Dann besteht zwischen der Oberseite des Riegels 30 und der Unterseite des Randsteges 24 am oberen Flanschring 21 ausreichend Platz, um den Sperrschieber 31 in den Klemmraum 26 hin­ein zu verschieben. Dann ist der Riegel 30 im Klemm­raum 26 gefangen. Durch Festziehen einer Stellschraube 34 ist der Sperrschieber 31 in dieser Stellung arretierbar. Gleichzeitig werden der Sperrschieber 31 und der Riegel 30 so auseinandergepresst, dass sie in feste Anlage mit den Randstegen 24 an den Flanschringen 21 gelagen. Der Kupplungsvorgang ist abgeschlossen.When assembling the support beams 4 and the column members 2, it should be noted that the locking slide 31 is in its retracted position. The bolt 30 together with the locking lug 30.1 can then be inserted into the entry slot 25 of the clamping space 26 and set down therein so that the locking lug 30.1 engages in the lower recess 22. Then there is sufficient space between the top of the latch 30 and the underside of the edge web 24 on the upper flange ring 21 to move the locking slide 31 into the clamping space 26. Then the bolt 30 is caught in the terminal space 26. The locking slide 31 can be locked in this position by tightening an adjusting screw 34. At the same time, the locking slide 31 and the bolt 30 are pressed apart in such a way that they rest in firm contact with the edge webs 24 on the flange rings 21. The coupling process is complete.

Zum Aufheben der Kupplungsverbindung wird um­gekehrt vorgegangen; nach dem Lösen der Stellschraube 34 wird der Sperrschieber 31 mit dem Hebel 33 in seine Rück­zugstellung gebracht. Der Riegel 30 samt der Sperrnase 30.1 kann nun durch den Eintrittsschlitz 25 aus dem Klemmraum entfernt werden und das Säulenglied 2 und/oder der Stützbalken 4 sind frei bewegbar.The procedure for reversing the coupling connection is reversed; after loosening the set screw 34, the locking slide 31 is brought into its retracted position with the lever 33. The bolt 30 together with the locking lug 30.1 can now be removed from the terminal space through the entry slot 25 and the column member 2 and / or the support beam 4 are freely movable.

Damit mehrere Stützbalken 4 an demselben Kupp­lungsring 3 in möglichst enger gegenseitiger Winkelbe­ziehung (siehe insbesondere Fig. 2c) angeordnet werden können, werden der Riegel 30 am Klemmblock 29 und die daran angeformte Sperrnase 30.1 auf das Zentrum des Säu­lengliedes 2 konisch zulaufend gestaltet, wobei der Rie­gel 30 so abgesetzt ist, dass sein radial inneres Ende knapp gegen den Boden des Klemmraumes 26 stösst. Fig. 5 zeigt einen entsprechend gestalteten Klemmblock 29 mit einem unter 45° konisch zulaufenden Riegel 30. Der kleinste Annäherungswinkel α für einen benachbarten Stützbalken 4 (strichliert gezeigt) beträgt dann eben­falls 45°. Kleinere oder grössere Konuswinkel zwischen 30 und 60° sind möglich.So that several support beams 4 can be arranged on the same coupling ring 3 in the closest possible mutual angular relationship (see in particular Fig. 2c), the bolt 30 on the clamping block 29 and the locking lug 30.1 formed thereon are designed to be tapered towards the center of the column member 2, the bolt 30 is so offset that its radially inner end just abuts against the bottom of the clamping space 26. 5 shows a correspondingly designed clamping block 29 with a bolt 30 which tapers conically at 45 °. The smallest approach angle α for an adjacent support beam 4 (shown in broken lines) is then also 45 °. Smaller or larger cone angles between 30 and 60 ° are possible.
