Abstract

Bekannte Schranksysteme bestehen aus einer Vielzahl von kombinierbaren Elementen, deren Ab- und/oder Umbau oft nur mit bleibenden Oberflächenbeschädigungen möglich ist.
Mit dem vorliegenden System soll mit einem Minimum von Komponenten eine Vielzahl von Varianten gebildet werden und ohne Beschädigungen verändert werden können.
Es werden als Trägermaterial (9) für die Korpuswände der Komponenten (1, 2, 3) Multiplex verwendet, in den Korpuswänden der Komponenten (1, 2, 3) je Korpuswand mindestens eine Systembohrung (4) und in mindestens einer Korpuswand zusätzlich mindestens ein Systemgewinde (5) angeordnet, die in ihrer Lage und Anzahl nach Maßstäben des Metallbaus engtoleriert festgelegt sind, wobei die Komponenten ein einheitliches Tiefenmaß und in ein Raster passende Breiten- und Höhenmaße mit mindestens zwei Rastermaßen aufweisen.

Known cabinet systems consist of a large number of combinable elements, the dismantling and / or conversion of which is often only possible with permanent surface damage.
With the present system, a large number of variants are to be formed with a minimum of components and can be changed without damage.
Multiplex is used as the carrier material (9) for the body walls of the components (1, 2, 3), at least one system bore (4) per body wall in the body walls of the components (1, 2, 3) and at least one additional hole in at least one body wall System threads (5) are arranged, the position and number of which are tightly tolerated according to the standards of metal construction, the components having a uniform depth dimension and width and height dimensions with at least two grid dimensions fitting into a grid.
