Abstract

A supporting bar for a shelf is described which, possibly with the exception of its anchoring means, consists completely of compressed cardboard, possibly with folded material. Compared to the previously used supporting bars for shelves made of plastic or wood, the supporting bar for a shelf can be disposed of, together with the other constituents of the shelf of folded material by the principle of mono-disposal, all the requirements placed on it in practice nevertheless being met by the V-shaped or L-shaped profile without weakening lines, in particular in respect of load-bearing capacity.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Regalstange mit an ihren Enden vorgesehenen Mitteln zum leicht lösbaren Verbinden der Regalstange mit den Wänden eines Regals aus Faltmaterial, dessen Außenseiten zumindest im Bereich der Regalstangen glatt durchgehen und nicht unterbrochen sind, wobei die Wände des Regals mehrlagig sind mit einer Öffnung in der innersten Lage zum Einstecken des betreffenden Endes der Regalstange und sich nach außen an die Öffnung ein Einsteckraum zur Aufnahme von Verankerungsmitteln des Regals anschließt.The invention relates to a shelf rod with means provided at its ends for easily releasably connecting the shelf rod to the walls of a shelf made of folded material, the outer sides of which go smoothly at least in the area of the shelf rods and are not interrupted, the walls of the shelf being multi-layered with an opening in the innermost position for inserting the relevant end of the rack rod and an insertion space for receiving anchorage means of the shelf adjoins the opening to the outside.

Ein solches Regal und eine derartige Regalstange ist beschrieben in der EP 0 346 516 B1 der Anmelderin. Dort bestehen die Regalstangen aus Kunststoff oder Holz. Die Praxis hat aber gezeigt, daß die Entsorgung der Regalstangen problematisch ist.Such a shelf and such a shelf rod is described in the applicant's EP 0 346 516 B1. There the shelf poles are made of plastic or wood. Practice has shown, however, that the disposal of the rack rods is problematic.

Die US-A-1,895,725 beschreibt ein podestartiges Gebilde aus Faltmaterial mit waagerechten L-Profilstangen aus Wellpappe. Die Wellpappe ist in der Biegelinie geschwächt, weil ansonsten kein L-Profil hergestellt werden kann. Diese Stangen sind daher nicht hochbelastbar.US-A-1,895,725 describes a platform-like structure made of folded material with horizontal L-profile rods made of corrugated cardboard. The corrugated cardboard is weakened in the bending line because otherwise an L-profile cannot be produced. These poles are therefore not heavy-duty.

Zum Stand der Technik wird auch verwiesen auf die deutsche Gebrauchsmusterschrift 87 12 389, die ein Regal mit Regalböden aus Faltmaterial beschreibt. Auf die Verwendung von Regalstangen hat man dort verzichtet, offenbar weil man das verhältnismäßig biegeweiche Faltmaterial nicht den Belastungen aussetzen wollte, die Regalstangen üblicherweise aufzunehmen haben.With regard to the prior art, reference is also made to the German utility model 87 12 389, which describes a shelf with shelves made of folded material. There was no use of rack poles there, apparently because the relatively flexible folding material did not want to be exposed to the loads that rack poles usually have to absorb.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Regalstange zur Verwendung bei einem Regal mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1 und wie dieses in der erwähnten EP-B1 beschrieben ist, vorzuschlagen, die problemlos entsorgt werden kann, wobei sie trotzdem allen in der Praxis an sie gestellten Anforderungen, insbesondere in Bezug auf Belastbarkeit, genügen soll.In contrast, the invention has for its object to propose a shelf rod for use on a shelf with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and as described in the mentioned EP-B1, which can be disposed of easily, but they are all in practice the requirements placed on them, particularly with regard to resilience, should be sufficient.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Regalstange, ggf. mit Ausnahme ihrer Verankerungsmittel, als lastaufnehmenden Bestandteil einen Stab aus gepreßter Pappe mit V-Profil oder L-Profil aufweist, der ohne Schwächungslinien einstückig geformt ist.To achieve this object, the invention is characterized in that the rack rod, possibly with the exception of its anchoring means, has a rod made of pressed cardboard with a V-profile or L-profile as a load-bearing component, which is integrally formed without lines of weakness.

Bei der einfachsten Ausführungsform besteht die Regalstange also lediglich aus diesem L- oder V-Profil, welches dann aus gepreßter Pappe entsprechender Stärke und Festigkeit hergestellt wird. Vorzugsweise wird das Profil als auf dem Kopf stehendes V in die Seitenwände des Regals eingesetzt. Es kann aber auch andere Lagen im Regal einnehmen, beispielsweise als aufrechtstehendes V-Profil oder als L-Profil.In the simplest embodiment, the rack bar is only made of this L or V profile, which is then made of pressed cardboard of the appropriate strength and strength. The profile is preferably used as an upside down V in the side walls of the shelf. But it can also take other positions on the shelf, for example as an upright V-profile or as an L-profile.

Die Verankerungsmittel können aus Kunststoffhülsen mit nach unten weisenden Ansätzen bestehen, die auf die Enden des Profils aufgeschoben sind, ganz wie in Fig.1 der erwähnten EP-B1 beschrieben. Die Verankerungshülsen können aber auch aus dem Papierwerkstoff bestehen, was natürlich die Entsorgung abermals erleichtert. Aber auch, wenn sie aus Kunststoffmaterial gespritzt sind, können die Verankerungshülsen leicht von der Profilen abgezogen und getrennt entsorgt werden.The anchoring means can consist of plastic sleeves with downward-facing lugs that are pushed onto the ends of the profile, as described in FIG. 1 of the mentioned EP-B1. The anchoring sleeves can also consist of the paper material, which of course makes disposal easier again. But even if they are injection molded from plastic material, the anchoring sleeves can easily be removed from the profiles and disposed of separately.

Eine andere, bevorzugte Kategorie von Verankerungsmitteln besteht aus Einschnitten in den Enden des Profils, so daß die Regalstange dadurch mit den Seitenwänden verankert wird, daß sie mit ihren Einschnitten auf die innerste Lage des Faltmaterials der Seitenwände aufgeschoben wird.Another preferred category of anchoring means consists of incisions in the ends of the profile, so that the shelf rod is anchored to the side walls by pushing their incisions onto the innermost layer of the folding material of the side walls.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert, aus denen sich weitere wichtige Merkmale ergeben. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1 -
eine Draufsicht auf eine Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Regalstange;
Fig. 2 -
eine Stirnansicht von Fig. 1.
The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of an exemplary embodiment, from which further important features result. It shows:
Fig. 1 -
a plan view of an embodiment of a rack rod according to the invention;
Fig. 2 -
2 shows an end view of FIG. 1.

In Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein V-Profil aus Preßpappe entsprechender Stärke mit Flanschen 3, 4 gezeigt, die über eine Kante 5 V-förmig zueinander gebogen sind.In Fig. 1 and 2, a V-profile made of pressed cardboard of appropriate thickness with flanges 3, 4 is shown, which are bent in a V-shape to each other over an edge 5.

An den Enden des V-Profils sind Einschnitte 11 in den Flanschen 3, 4 vorgesehen, über die das V-Profil in mehrlagigen Seitenwänden eines aus Faltmaterial bestehenden Regals verankert werden kann, ganz wie es Fig. 1 der erwähnten EP-0 346 516-B1 zeigt.At the ends of the V-profile, notches 11 are provided in the flanges 3, 4, via which the V-profile can be anchored in multilayer side walls of a shelf made of folded material, as is shown in FIG. 1 of the mentioned EP-0 346 516- B1 shows.

Auf die Enden der mit oder ohne die Einschnitte 11 versehenen Regalstange können Hülsen aus Kunststoffmaterial, Preßpappe oder Faltmaterial aufgeschoben werden, wie sie in der erwähnten EP-B1 beschrieben sind.Sleeves made of plastic material, pressed cardboard or folded material, as described in the mentioned EP-B1, can be pushed onto the ends of the shelf rod provided with or without the incisions 11.

Wenn vorstehend von einem V-Profil gesprochen wurde, so kann dies eine beliebige Lage einnehmen, beispielsweise auf dem Kopf stehen oder auch als L-Profil angeordnet sein, wobei dann einer der Schenkel waagerecht und der andere senkrecht verläuft. Auch müssen beide schenkel nicht gleich lang sein. Wesentlich ist insoweit das Vorhandensein zweier winkelig zueinander angeordneter Schenkel.If a V-profile was mentioned above, this can take any position, for example standing upside down or also being arranged as an L-profile, in which case one of the legs runs horizontally and the other runs vertically. Also, both legs do not have to be the same length. In this respect, it is essential to have two legs arranged at an angle to one another.
