Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Unterteilungsanordnung für einen Lagergutträger gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine derartige Unterteilungsanordnung ist aus der US 2004/0145287 A1 bekannt. Hierbei weisen die Seitenwände nicht nur eine in der Hauptfläche befindliche, parallel zum Boden verlaufende untere Nut auf, sondern zusätzlich eine an der Oberseite der Seitenwände verlaufende obere Nut. An den Ecken werden die Seitenwände durch winklige Eckverbinder miteinander verbunden, die sich über die ganze Höhe der Seitenwand erstrecken. Am oberen Ende jedes Eckverbinders befindet sich ein Vorsprung, der in die obere Nut von oben her eingreift, und ein weiterer Vorsprung greift unter Zugspannung seitlich in die untere Nut ein. Diese Eckverbinder können somit an die Seitenwände angeklipst werden. Zur Anbringung von Unterteilungswänden sind T-förmige Verbindungselemente vorgesehen, die auf die betreffende Unterteilungswand aufgesteckt werden und diese umgreifen, mit jeweiligen Vorsprüngen beidseitig in die unteren Nuten der Unterteilungswand eingreifen und mit einem weiteren Vorsprung von oben in die obere Nut der Seitenwand eingreifen.The invention relates to a subdivision arrangement for a load-carrier according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a subdivision arrangement is known from US 2004/0145287 A1 known. Here, the side walls not only a located in the main surface, parallel to the bottom extending lower groove, but in addition to an upper side of the upper walls extending upper groove. At the corners, the side walls are connected by angled corner connectors, which extend over the entire height of the side wall. At the upper end of each corner connector is a projection which engages in the upper groove from above, and a further projection engages under tension laterally in the lower groove. These corner connectors can thus be clipped to the side walls. For attachment of partition walls T-shaped connecting elements are provided, which are plugged onto the respective partition wall and embrace them, engage with respective projections on both sides in the lower grooves of the partition wall and engage with a further projection from above into the upper groove of the side wall.

Bei einer derartigen Anordnung wird zwar das Klappern beseitigt, das bei vielen anderen Unterteilungsanordnungen fast zwangsläufig auftritt. Diese Unterteilungsanordnung erlaubt jedoch keine Flexibilität hinsichtlich ihrer Höhe. Auch ein Einsatz dieser Unterteilungsanordnung in einem Lagergutträger, der größere Abmessungen aufweist als es die gelieferte Länge der Unterteilungsanordnung zulässt, ist nicht möglich.In such an arrangement, although the rattle is eliminated, which almost inevitably occurs in many other subdivision arrangements. However, this subdivision arrangement does not allow any flexibility with regard to its height. It is also not possible to use this subdivision arrangement in a load-carrier which has larger dimensions than the delivered length of the subdivision arrangement permits.

Das US-Patent 4,362,251 A beschreibt eine Unterteilungsanordnung, welche Seitenwände mit parallel zur Unterseite der Seitenwände verlaufenden Nuten aufweist. Die Nuten sind hinterschnitten und erlauben es, Verbindungselemente wie z. B. Eckverbindungselemente in die Nuten einzuschieben oder einzurasten. Ein Nachteil der beschriebenen Unterteilungsanordnung sind die fehlende Flexibilität und die fehlende Möglichkeit zur Erweiterung, da die Unterteilungsanordnung keine Möglichkeit zur Variation der Höhe und zur länglichen Verlängerung der Seitenwände bietet. Ebenso wird die Stabilität der Seitenwände untereinander ausschließlich durch die Eckverbindungselemente gewährleistet, was bei starker Beanspruchung zu einer mangelnden Stabilität beziehungsweise Verbindungsfestigkeit führen kann.The U.S. Patent 4,362,251A describes a partition assembly having sidewalls with grooves parallel to the underside of the sidewalls. The grooves are undercut and allow fasteners such. B. insert corner connectors in the grooves or lock. A disadvantage of the subdivision arrangement described is the lack of flexibility and the lack of possibility for expansion, since the subdivision arrangement offers no possibility for variation of the height and elongate extension of the side walls. Likewise, the stability of the side walls is ensured solely by the corner connecting elements, which can lead to a lack of stability or connection strength under heavy use.

Die Patentschrift WO 90/15906 A beschreibt ein System zum Bau von Trennwänden. Die Trennwände bestehen aus einzelnen Paneelen, welche an ihren Ober- und Unterseiten über Schenkel verfügen, die jeweils ineinander einsetzbar sind. Dadurch lassen sich mehrere Paneele vertikal miteinander verbinden und die Trennwand in der Höhe variieren. Die Paneele sind zudem mit quer zur Unterseite verlaufenden Schlitzen ausgestattet, in welche sich Verbindungselemente zur Längsverbindung mit weiteren Paneelen oder zur Querverbindung mit abgewinkelt angeordneten Paneelen einsetzen lassen. Diese Unterteilungsanordnung lässt sich nicht nach dem Zusammenbau nur schwer nachträglich erweitern, ohne bereits zusammengesetzte Paneele wieder voneinander zu lösen, um entsprechende Verbindungselemente einzusetzen.The patent WO 90/15906 A describes a system for the construction of partitions. The partitions consist of individual panels, which have legs on their upper and lower sides, which can be inserted into one another. As a result, several panels can be connected vertically and vary the height of the partition. The panels are also equipped with transverse to the bottom slots, in which fasteners can be used for longitudinal connection with other panels or for cross-connection with angled arranged panels. This subdivision arrangement can not be extended later after the assembly, without releasing already assembled panels from one another, in order to use corresponding connecting elements.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Lagergutträger mit Unterteilungsanordnung zu schaffen, die hinsichtlich der nutzbaren Abmessungen - insbesondere hinsichtlich der Höhe - größtmögliche Flexibilität ermöglicht. Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Lagergutträger gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The present invention has for its object to provide a load-carrier with subdivision arrangement, which allows the greatest possible flexibility in terms of usable dimensions - in particular in terms of height. This object is achieved with a load-carrier according to claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es somit möglich, eine Unterteilungsanordnung für einen Lagergutträger aus wenigen Seitenwänden und entsprechenden Eckverbindern in einfacher Weise und ohne Werkzeug durch Verrasten bzw. Zusammenklipsen der einzelnen Bestandteile aufzubauen. Dadurch, dass die Seitenwände an ihrer Oberseite (oder alternativ an ihrer Unterseite) einen Rastvorsprung mit Hinterschnitt aufweisen, auf die eine entsprechende Seitenwand aufgeklipst werden kann, die an ihrer Unterseite (bzw. an ihrer Oberseite) ein entsprechendes Rastproft aufweist, ist der Lagergutträger erfindungsgemäß mit einer Unterteilungsanordnung in modularer Weise ausrüstbar. Als Unterteilungswände können entweder weitere profilierte Seitenwände oder auch profillose Trennwände eingeklipst werden.According to the invention, it is thus possible to construct a subdivision arrangement for a storage goods carrier from a few side walls and corresponding corner connectors in a simple manner and without tools by latching or clipping together of the individual components. Characterized in that the side walls on its upper side (or alternatively on its underside) have a latching projection with undercut on which a corresponding side wall can be clipped, which has on its underside (or on its upper side) a corresponding Rastproft, the load-carrier according to the invention equipped with a subdivision assembly in a modular manner. As subdivision walls either further profiled side walls or profileless partitions can be clipped.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Perspektivdarstellung einer Lagervorrichtung 1 in Form eines mechanischen Schrankes gezeigt, der im wesentlichen aus zwei hintereinander angeordneten Regalrahmen 2 besteht (vgl. auch Fig. 2), in denen eine Vielzahl von mit einem Boden 8 versehenen, relativ flachen, kassettenartigen Lagergutträgern 3 auf seitlichen Auflagewinkeln 2a einlagerbar ist. Die bis zu einem Quadratmeter oder noch größeren Lagergutträger 3 werden hierbei durch eine Zubringer-Plattform 4 von einer Ein-/ Auslageröffnung 5 abgeholt und zu dem jeweiligen Fach in dem Regalrahmen 2 transportiert. Die Auslagerung erfolgt dabei in umgekehrter Weise, indem der jeweilige Lagergutträger 3 von entsprechenden Auflagewinkeln 2a an einem vorbestimmten Platz des Regalrahmens 2 gezogen wird, von der Zubringer-Plattform 4 dann auf die Ein-/Auslagerebene 7 der Ein-/Auslageröffnung 5 bewegt und dann in diese ausgeschoben wird. Die Steuerung der Einlagerung bzw. Auslagerung erfolgt im Allgemeinen dabei mittels einer Antriebsvorrichtung prozessorgesteuert, wobei das Steuerteil beispielsweise hinter einem hier schematisch dargestellten Bedienfeld 12 angebracht ist, mit dem bestimmte Fachplätze in dem Regalrahmen 2 angewählt werden können. Im Bereich der Ein-/Auslageröffnung 5 kann dabei auch ein Höhensensor vorgesehen sein, der die Höhe des einzulagernden Lagergutträgers 3 erfasst, wobei diesem dann ein entsprechender Platz im Regalrahmen 2 zugewiesen wird. Hierdurch wird die Lagerplatznutzung in der Lagervorrichtung 1 erhöht.In Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a storage device 1 in the form of a mechanical cabinet shown, which consists essentially of two successively arranged shelf frame 2 (see also Fig. 2 ), in which a plurality of provided with a bottom 8, relatively flat, cassette-like load-carriers 3 on lateral support angles 2a is einlagerbar. The up to one square meter or even larger load-carriers 3 are hereby picked up by a feeder platform 4 from an in / out opening 5 and transported to the respective compartment in the rack frame 2. The outsourcing takes place in the reverse manner, by the respective load-carrier 3 is pulled by corresponding support brackets 2a at a predetermined location of the shelf frame 2, then moved by the feeder platform 4 on the input / Auslagerebene 7 of the input / Ausausöffnung 5 and then is pushed into this. The control of the storage or retrieval is generally carried out processor-controlled by means of a drive device, the control part is mounted, for example behind a schematically illustrated here control panel 12, with the specific shelves can be selected in the shelf frame 2. In the area of the storage / retrieval opening 5, a height sensor can also be provided, which detects the height of the storage goods carrier 3 to be stored, with this space being assigned a corresponding space in the shelf frame 2. As a result, the storage space usage in the storage device 1 is increased.

Zur Ein-/Auslagerung der jeweiligen Lagergutträger 3 sind an der Oberseite der ZubringerPlattform 4 z. B. Kettenantriebe 14 vorgesehen, mit denen die jeweiligen Lagergutträger 3 aus der Einlageröffnung 5 übernommen werden können bzw. auf diese ausgeschoben werden können. Um hierbei mit dem jeweiligen Lagergutträger 3 in Eingriff gehen zu können, ist beispielsweise ein vorderes bzw. rückseitiges Eingriffsprofil 21 (nur an einigen Lagergutträgem 3 durch je einen Haken angedeutet) für die Kettenantriebe 14 vorgesehen, wie dies in Fig. 2 als Schnittdarstellung der Lagereinrichtung 1 gemäß Fig. 1 gezeigt ist. Hierbei sind insbesondere die Anordnung der beiden Regalrahmen 2 und die Zubringer-Plattform 4 ersichtlich, mit der nach dem Einschieben eines Lagergutträgers 3 von Hand, mittels Roboter oder eines sonstigen Regalbediengerätes, die Lagergutträger 3 an den zugewiesenen Lagerplatz im Regalrahmen 2 bewegbar sind. Dies erfolgt durch Höhenbewegung der Zubringer-Plattform 4 z. B. mittels eines geschlossenen Seilstranges. Die Plattform wird dabei in Höhenrichtung an einer Führungsschiene 6 geführt.For storage / retrieval of the respective load-carrier 3 are at the top of the feeder platform 4 z. B. chain drives 14, with which the respective load-carriers 3 can be taken from the storage opening 5 and can be pushed out onto these. In order to be able to engage with the respective load-carrier 3, for example, a front or rear engagement profile 21 (indicated only by a hook on some storage goods carriers 3) is provided for the chain drives 14, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 as a sectional view of the storage device 1 according to Fig. 1 is shown. in this connection In particular, the arrangement of the two shelf frame 2 and the feeder platform 4 can be seen, with the after loading of a load-carrier 3 by hand, by robot or other storage and retrieval unit, the load-carrier 3 to the assigned storage space in the shelf frame 2 are movable. This is done by height movement of the feeder platform 4 z. B. by means of a closed rope strand. The platform is guided in the height direction on a guide rail 6.

In Fig. 3 ist in perspektivischer Ansicht ein Teil einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform einer für einen Lagergutträger 3 bestimmten Unterteilungsanordnung 9 gemäß der Erfindung dargestellt. Die Unterteilungsanordnung 9 umfasst profilierte Seitenwände 70, 71, die rechtwinklig miteinander verbunden sind. Gemäß dieser Ausführungsform ist das Profil der Seitenwände 70, 71 spiegelsymmetrisch; dies kann jedoch in anderen Ausführungsformen anders sein. Die Seitenwände 70, 71 weisen in Längsrichtung verlaufende Nuten 76 auf. Die Nuten 76 weisen jeweils einen Hinterschnitt auf, d. h., die zwei die Nutöffnung definierenden Nutkanten 77 weisen einen geringeren Abstand voneinander auf als der Nutgrund. Wenn zwei Seitenwände 70, 71 rechtwinklig miteinander verbunden werden sollen, werdenIn Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a part of a preferred embodiment of a specific for a load-carrier 3 subdivision assembly 9 shown according to the invention. The partition assembly 9 comprises profiled side walls 70, 71 which are connected at right angles to each other. According to this embodiment, the profile of the side walls 70, 71 is mirror-symmetrical; however, this may be different in other embodiments. The side walls 70, 71 have longitudinally extending grooves 76. The grooves 76 each have an undercut, ie, the two groove edges 77 defining the groove opening have a smaller spacing from one another than the groove base. If two side walls 70, 71 are to be connected at right angles to each other

Eckverbinder 20 (vgl. Fig. 5) in die Nuten 76 eingerastet bzw. eingeklipst. Selbstverständlich können die Eckverbinder 20 stattdessen - sofern es der Montagezustand noch erlaubt - ohne einen Einrastvorgang seitlich in die Nuten (von deren Ende her) eingeführt werden. Auf diese Weise können vier Seitenwände 70, 71 zur Außenwand einer einen Lagergutträger 3 auskleidenden Unterteilungsanordnung 9 verbunden werden. Das hierbei gebildete Eckprofil ist sehr exakt.Corner connector 20 (see. Fig. 5 ) engaged in the grooves 76 or clipped. Of course, the corner connector 20 may instead - if the mounting state still allows - laterally inserted into the grooves (from the end) without a latching operation. In this way, four side walls 70, 71 can be connected to the outer wall of a substructure 9 lining a load-carrier 3. The corner profile formed in this case is very accurate.

Wie aus der Detailansicht von Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist, können zwei Seitenwände 70 übereinander angeordnet werden, indem ein entsprechendes Rastprofil 73 am unteren Ende einer Seitenwand 70 auf einen zugehörigen hinterschnittenen Rastvorsprung 72 an der Oberseite einer anderen Seitenwand 70 aufgeklipst wird. Der Rastvorsprung 72 erstreckt sich dabei in Höhenrichtung der Seitenwand 70, 71. Auf diese Weise reicht es aus, Seitenwandprofile in zwei oder drei unterschiedlichen Höhen herzustellen und diese dann durch geeignete Kombination zu einer gewünschten Gesamthöhe zusammenzufügen.As from the detail view of Fig. 4 it can be seen, two side walls 70 can be arranged one above the other by a corresponding latching profile 73 is clipped at the lower end of a side wall 70 on an associated undercut latching projection 72 at the top of another side wall 70. The locking projection 72 extends in the height direction of the side wall 70, 71. In this way, it is sufficient to produce sidewall profiles in two or three different heights and then put together by suitable combination to a desired overall height.

Durch Einfügen von Trennwänden 80 in die Seitenwände 70, 71 der Außenwand kann eine erste Unterteilung geschaffen werden. Hierfür werden T-förmige Seitenwandverbinder 40 verwendet, die einen flächigen Abschnitt 41 zum Einklipsen in die Nuten 76 aufweisen. Senkrecht zum flächigen Abschnitt 41 sind zwei Abschnitte 42, 43 über zwei Winkel 44, 45 parallel im Abstand zueinander befestigt. In dem Abstand zwischen den Abschnitten 42, 43 kann dann eine dünne, profillose und kostengünstig herzustellende Trennwand 80 eingesetzt werden. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 sind pro Trennwand 80 in jede Seitenwand 70 vier Seitenwandverbinder 40 eingesetzt, es können je nach Gegebenheit jedoch auch mehr oder weniger Seitenwandverbinder 40 benützt werden. Alternativ ist es jedoch auch selbstverständlich möglich, statt einer profillosen Trennwand 80 eine profilierte Seitenwand 70 bzw. 71 unter Verwendung von Eckverbindern 20 einzusetzen. Dies eröffnet dann eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit der Unterteilung durch Einsetzen einer weiteren Seitenwand 71 oder Trennwand 80 in dem bereits unterteilten Bereich.By inserting partitions 80 in the side walls 70, 71 of the outer wall, a first subdivision can be created. For this purpose, T-shaped side wall connectors 40 are used, which have a flat portion 41 for clipping into the grooves 76. Perpendicular to the flat portion 41, two sections 42, 43 via two angles 44, 45 are mounted parallel to each other at a distance from each other. In the distance between the sections 42, 43 can then be a thin, profileless and inexpensive to produce partition 80 are used. In the embodiment according to Fig. 3 four sidewall connectors 40 are used per partition 80 in each side wall 70, but depending on the circumstances, more or less sidewall connectors 40 may be used. Alternatively, it is Of course possible, instead of a profile-free partition 80 to use a profiled side wall 70 and 71 using corner connectors 20. This then opens up an additional possibility of subdivision by inserting another side wall 71 or partition 80 in the already subdivided area.

Zwei Seitenwände 70 und/oder 71 können auch geradlinig miteinander verbunden werden, indem flächige Verbindungselemente 30 in die Nuten 76 der beiden zu verbindenden Seitenwände eingerastet werden.Two side walls 70 and / or 71 can also be connected to one another in a straight line by latching planar connecting elements 30 into the grooves 76 of the two side walls to be connected.

Auf diese Weise ist die gesamte Unterteilungsanordnung 9 modular aufgebaut, und zwar sowohl hinsichtlich der Höhe als auch der Länge der jeweiligen Seitenwandprofile. Somit müssen nur wenige verschiedene Einzelteile hergestellt werden, um trotzdem eine hohe Variabilität der Unterteilungsanordnung 9 zu erzielen. Die dadurch erreichbaren höheren Stückzahlen wirken sich vorteilhaft auf die Herstellungskosten aus.In this way, the entire partition assembly 9 is modular, both in terms of height and length of the respective side wall profiles. Thus, only a few different items must be made to still achieve a high variability of the subdivision assembly 9. The achievable thereby higher quantities have an advantageous effect on the manufacturing cost.

Eine weitere Stabilisierung und optisch ansprechendere Gestaltung der Unterteilungsanordnung 9 wird erreicht, wenn Abdeckelemente 10, 50, 60 zur Abdeckung der Verbindungsstellen zwischen einzelnen Seitenwänden 70, 71 und/oder Trennwänden 80 verwendet werden.A further stabilization and more visually appealing design of the subdivision arrangement 9 is achieved if cover elements 10, 50, 60 are used to cover the connection sites between individual side walls 70, 71 and / or partitions 80.

Aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung ist klar, dass der Zusammenbau einer entsprechend konfigurierten Unterteilungsanordnung 9 sehr einfach und schnell möglich ist und auch für ungeübte Anwender keine Probleme bereitet. Aufgrund des weichen, federnden Hinterschnitts der jeweiligen Nuten und Rastprofile wird so jederzeit eine unkomplizierte Montage und/oder Veränderung der bereits montierten Unterteilungsanordnung 9 ermöglicht, wobei sich beim Zusammen- oder Auseinanderklipsen das Profil nur geringfügig elastisch und reversibel verformt. Die Rastprofile 13, 53 und 63 der Abdeckelemente 10, 50 bzw. 60 sind dabei ähnlich ausgestaltet wie das Rastprofil 73 der Seitenwand 70.From the above description it is clear that the assembly of a correspondingly configured subdivision arrangement 9 is very simple and quick and also does not cause any problems for inexperienced users. Due to the soft, resilient undercut of the respective grooves and latching profiles an uncomplicated installation and / or modification of the already assembled subdivision assembly 9 is possible at any time, with the profile deformed only slightly elastic and reversible when assembling or Auseinanderklipsen. The locking profiles 13, 53 and 63 of the cover 10, 50 and 60 are configured similarly as the locking profile 73 of the side wall 70th

Die Seitenwände können im Stranggussverfahren aus Kunststoff oder Metall hergestellt werden und sind somit kostengünstig. Auch die Eckverbinder 20, Verbindungselemente 30 und Seitenwandverbinder 40 sowie die Abdeckelemente 10, 50, 60 können aus Kunststoff oder Metall hergestellt werden.The side walls can be made in continuous casting of plastic or metal and are therefore inexpensive. The corner connectors 20, connecting elements 30 and side wall connectors 40 as well as the cover elements 10, 50, 60 can be made of plastic or metal.

Es ist vorteilhaft, dass die Unterteilungsanordnung in einem entsprechenden Lagergutträger 3 oder einer Schublade zusammengebaut werden kann. Dabei kann dieIt is advantageous that the subdivision arrangement can be assembled in a corresponding storage goods carrier 3 or a drawer. It can the

Unterteilungsanordnung 9 für unterschiedlichste Höhen und verschiedenste Abmessungen aus sehr wenigen Einzelteilen zusammengesetzt werden. Insbesondere die Möglichkeit, die Profile in Längsrichtung verbinden zu können, ermöglicht günstige Lagerabmessungen - wie beispielsweise im Versandlager - und Versandabmessungen. Dadurch können Einheitsverpackungen verwendet werden, was sich nicht nur positiv auf den Preis, sondern auch auf die Lieferzeiten auswirkt. Darüber hinaus kann die Unterteilungsanordnung 9 jederzeit nachträglich verändert, insbesondere erweitert werden, was die Flexibilität noch erhöht. Außerdem ist es für den Kunden möglich, die Profile selbst abzulängen, was auch den Einsatz in nicht genormten Bereichen ermöglicht.Subdivision arrangement 9 for a variety of heights and various dimensions are composed of very few individual parts. In particular, the ability to connect the profiles in the longitudinal direction, allows for cheap storage dimensions - such as in the shipping warehouse - and shipping dimensions. As a result, unitary packaging can be used, which not only has a positive effect on the price, but also on the delivery times. In addition, the subdivision assembly 9 at any time be changed later, in particular be extended, which increases the flexibility even more. In addition, it is possible for the customer to cut the profiles themselves, which also allows their use in non-standard areas.

Schließlich ist es möglich, bei erhöhten Anforderungen an die Stabilität die Eckverbinder 20, die Verbindungselemente 30, die Seitenwandverbinder 40 sowie die Abdeckelemente 10, 50, 60 mittels Schrauben, insbesondere selbstbohrenden Schrauben, an den Seitenwänden 70, 71 und den Trennwänden 80 zu befestigen. Hier sind zweckmäßigerweise Bohrungen 90 in diesen Teilen vorgesehen.Finally, it is possible, with increased stability requirements, to fasten the corner connectors 20, the connection elements 30, the side wall connectors 40 and the cover elements 10, 50, 60 to the side walls 70, 71 and the partitions 80 by means of screws, in particular self-tapping screws. Here are expediently holes 90 provided in these parts.

Es ist festzuhalten, dass die unter Bezug auf einzelne Ausführungsformen beschriebenen Merkmale der Erfindung, wie beispielsweise die Ausgestaltung des Profils der Seitenwände sowie der übrigen Komponenten der Unterteilungsanordnung, auch bei anderen Ausführungsformen vorhanden sein können, außer wenn es anders angegeben ist.It should be understood that the features of the invention described with reference to individual embodiments, such as the configuration of the profile of the side walls as well as the other components of the partitioning arrangement, may also be present in other embodiments, unless otherwise stated.
