Abstract

The vertically and horizontally running bars (10 . . . 12) of a shelf system are formed from U-section rods (20), whereby free-standing shelf columns (11) have a box shape formed from two U-profile rods (20). The same standard profile is thus used for the formation of differing shelf components.

Regalsystemshelving
Beschreibungdescription
Regalsysteme müssen sich an die individuellen Bedürfnisse des Benutzers anpassen lassen. So sind Höhe, Breite und Tiefe sowie die Anzahl der Fachböden von der jeweiligen Nutzung des Regals abhängig. Auch ist es wünschenswert, daß sich schon aufgebaute Regale leicht erweitern oder umbauen lassen.Shelving systems must be able to be adapted to the individual needs of the user. Height, width and depth as well as the number of shelves depend on the use of the shelf. It is also desirable that shelves that have already been set up can be easily expanded or converted.
Die Profile der für das Regal verwendeten Bauelemente, insbesondere der senkrecht und horizontal verlaufenden Stabelemente (Säulen, Stützen, Traversen), bestimmen die Tragfähigkeit des Regals. Regale zur Aufnahme größerer Lasten erfordern entsprechend stabile Bauelemente. Werden andererseits für leichte Regale zu massive Bauelemente verwendet, so ergibt sich eine unnötig schwere, materialaufwendige und unelegante Konstruktion.The profiles of the components used for the shelf, in particular the vertical and horizontal bar elements (columns, supports, trusses) determine the load-bearing capacity of the shelf. Shelves for holding larger loads require correspondingly stable components. If, on the other hand, components that are too solid are used for light shelves, this results in an unnecessarily heavy, material-consuming and inelegative construction.
Daraus resultiert die Notwendigkeit, die zum Aufbau unterschiedlicher stabiler Regale erforderliche Anzahl unterschiedlicher Bauelemente bereitzustellen, was entsprechende Lagerhaltung bedingt.This results in the need to provide the number of different components required for the construction of different stable shelves, which requires corresponding storage.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Regalsystem anzugeben, das sich aus einer möglichst geringen Anzahl unterschiedlicher Bauelemente zusammensetzen läßt.The invention has for its object to provide a shelving system that can be assembled from the smallest possible number of different components.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt mit der in Anspruch 1 angegebe- nen Erfindung. Das danach vorgesehene Regal-Stabelement wird aus U-Profilschienen zusammengesetzt, die auch allein, vorzugsweise als Regal- Wandschienen, verwendbar sind. Somit wird ein Grundelement vorgesehen, aus dem sich mehrere verschiedene Regalbauelemente bilden lassen. Dabei zeichnen sich die aus zwei U-Profilschienen zusammengesetzten Bauele- mente aufgrund ihres Profils durch hohe Eigensteifigkeit aus und gestatten den Aufbau stabiler Rahmenkonstruktionen.This object is achieved with the invention specified in claim 1. The shelf element provided thereafter is composed of U-shaped rails, which can also be used alone, preferably as shelf wall rails. A basic element is thus provided, from which several different shelf components can be formed. The components made up of two U-shaped rails are characterized by their inherent rigidity due to their profile and allow the construction of stable frame structures.
Die Weiterbildungen der Erfindung nach den Ansprüchen 3 bis 6 sind für die Festigkeit und den praktischen Einsatz von Vorteil. Die Gestaltung nach Anspruch 3 ergibt dabei ein besonders tragfestes und leicht verbauba- res Profil.The developments of the invention according to claims 3 to 6 are advantageous for strength and practical use. The design according to claim 3 results in a particularly load-bearing and easily installable profile.
Die Ansprüche 7 und 8 beziehen sich auf vorteilhafte Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für die Verbindung der erfindungsgemäßen Stabelemente.Claims 7 and 8 relate to advantageous design options for the connection of the rod elements according to the invention.
Die in den Ansprüchen 9 bis 11 angegebenen Merkmale sind für den privaten Bereich bestimmte leichtere Regale zweckmäßig. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung werden nachstehen anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. In den Zeichnungen zeigtThe features specified in claims 9 to 11 are useful for the private sector certain lighter shelves. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings shows

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Regal weist einen Rahmen auf, der aus zwei hinteren Wandschienen 10, zwei vorderen, freistehenden Säulen 11 und horizontalen Traversen 12 aufgebaut ist. Jede Wandschiene 10 ist mit einer zugehörigen Säule 11 über Streben 13 zu einem seitlichen Regalständer 14 verbunden.The shelf shown in FIG. 1 has a frame which is constructed from two rear wall rails 10, two front, free-standing columns 11 and horizontal cross members 12. Each wall rail 10 is connected to an associated column 11 via struts 13 to form a side shelf stand 14.
Die Wandschienen 10 sind mit Langlöchern 15 versehen, in die Konsolen 16, 17 zur Aufnahme von Fachböden 18, 19 eingehängt sind. Die Fachböden 18 haben teilweise eine der Tiefe der Regalständer 14 entsprechende Tiefe und können in diesem Fall an ihren vorderen Ecken mit den Säulen 11 verbunden sein. Sie können aber auch, wie bei dem mittleren Fachboden 19 in Fig. 1 dargestellt, eine geringere Tiefe aufweisen und werden dann vollständig von den entsprechend kürzeren Konsolen 17 getragen. Die Wandschienen 10 werden aus U-Profilschienen 20 gebildet, die auf die jeweils gewünschte Länge vom laufenden Meter abgeschnitten wer- den. Das U-Profil ist durch Kantung aus Stahlblech einer Stärke von beispielsweise 1 bis 2 mm gefertigt, wobei der Mittelsteg (25 in Fig. 2) eine Breite von beispielsweise 20 bis 40 mm, vorzugsweise 30 mm, und die seitlichen Schenkel (24 in Fig. 2) eine Höhe von beispielsweise 20 bis 23 mm, vorzugsweise 23,5 mm, aufweisen. Das Seitenverhältnis von Stegbreite zu Schenkelhöhe liegt zwischen 0,5 und 1.The wall rails 10 are provided with elongated holes 15 in which brackets 16, 17 for receiving shelves 18, 19 are suspended. The shelves 18 partially have a depth corresponding to the depth of the rack stands 14 and in this case can be connected to the columns 11 at their front corners. However, as shown in the middle shelf 19 in FIG. 1, they can also have a smaller depth and are then carried completely by the correspondingly shorter brackets 17. The wall rails 10 are formed from U-shaped rails 20, which are cut to the desired length from the running meter. The U-profile is made of sheet steel with a thickness of, for example, 1 to 2 mm, the central web (25 in FIG. 2) having a width of, for example, 20 to 40 mm, preferably 30 mm, and the lateral legs (24 in FIG 2) have a height of, for example, 20 to 23 mm, preferably 23.5 mm. The aspect ratio of web width to leg height is between 0.5 and 1.
Die im Mittelsteg 25 der U-Profilschiene 20 eingestanzten Langlöcher 15 sind mit einer Teilung von beispielsweise 50 mm angeordnet. Sie verlaufen fluchtend in Richtung der Längsmittellinie des Mittelstegs 25 und haben jeweils eine Länge von beispielsweise 30 mm. Mit gegenseitigen Abständen von beispielsweise 400 mm sind jeweils mittig zwischen zwei benachbarten Langlöchern 15 kreisrunde, von der Außenseite des Profils her eingesenkte oder eingetiefte Bohrungen 21 zur Aufnahme von Senkkopfschrauben vorgesehen.The elongated holes 15 punched into the central web 25 of the U-shaped rail 20 are arranged with a pitch of, for example, 50 mm. They run in the direction of the longitudinal center line of the center web 25 and each have a length of, for example, 30 mm. With mutual distances of, for example, 400 mm, 15 circular ones are countersunk in the center between two adjacent elongated holes, from the outside of the profile or recessed holes 21 are provided for receiving countersunk screws.
Die hinteren Wandschienen 10 dienen zur Befestigung des Regals beispielsweise an einer Gebäudewand. Aus den gleichen U-Profilschienen 20 sind in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 als Traversen 12 gebildet.The rear wall rails 10 are used to fasten the shelf, for example on a building wall. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the same U-shaped rails 20 are formed as crossbeams 12.
Ferner sind auch die vorderen Säulen 11 des Regals nach Fig. 1 aus jeweils zwei U-Profilschienen 20 zusammengesetzt. In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel haben die Säulen 11 ein Kastenprofil, das dadurch ent- steht, daß zwei U-Profilschienen 20 mit einander zugewandten Profilschenkeln 24 miteinander verbunden werden.Furthermore, the front pillars 11 of the shelf according to FIG. 1 are each composed of two U-shaped rails 20. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the columns 11 have a box profile which arises from the fact that two U-shaped rails 20 are connected to one another with profile legs 24 facing one another.
Gemäß Fig. 2 erfolgt die Verbindung zweier U-Profilschienen 20 durch einen im Innern des Kastenprofils angeordneten Abstandhalter in Form einer Hülse 22, die über ihre wesentliche Länge zylindrisch oder pris- matisch ist und an beiden Enden einen erweiterten Stirnflansch 23 aufweist. Die Gesamtlänge der Hülse ist gleich der zweifachen inneren Höhe der Profilschenkel 24. Der Durchmesser der Stirnflansche 23 ist etwas kleiner als die innere Breite der Profil-Mittelstege 25. In dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel erfolgt die Verbindung mittels zweier Senkkopf - schrauben 26, deren jede jeweils eine Bohrung 21 im Mittelsteg 25 der betreffenden U-Profilschiene 20 durchsetzt und in eine zentrische Gewindebohrung 27 der Hülse 22 eingreift.According to FIG. 2, the connection of two U-shaped rails 20 takes place by means of a spacer arranged in the interior of the box section in the form of a sleeve 22, which is cylindrical or prismatic over its essential length and has an enlarged end flange 23 at both ends. The total length of the sleeve is twice the inner height of the profile legs 24. The diameter of the end flanges 23 is somewhat smaller than the inner width of the profile center webs 25. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the connection is made by means of two countersunk screws 26, each of which passes through a bore 21 in the central web 25 of the relevant U-shaped rail 20 and engages in a central threaded bore 27 of the sleeve 22.
In einer (nicht gezeigten) Variante kann die Hülse auch eine glatte Durchgangsbohrung aufweisen, die von einer durchgehenden Schraube durchsetzt wird, wobei die Schraube mit ihrem Kopf in die Bohrung 21 einer U-Profilschiene 20 eingreift und an ihrem freien Ende durch eine die andere U-Profilschiene 20 spannende Mutter fixiert ist.In a variant (not shown), the sleeve can also have a smooth through hole, which is penetrated by a continuous screw, the screw engaging with its head in the bore 21 of a U-shaped rail 20 and at its free end by the other U - Profile rail 20 exciting nut is fixed.
In einer weiteren (nicht gezeigten) Variante kann die Hülse aus Kunststoff mit einer glatten Durchgangsbohrung bestehen, in die selbst- schneidende Schrauben eingreifen.In a further variant (not shown), the sleeve can be made of plastic with a smooth through hole into which self-tapping screws engage.
Anstelle des in Fig. 1 und 2 angenommenen Kastenprofils können zwei U-Profilschienen 20 auch zu einem I-Profil zusammengesetzt werden, wobei einfach deren Mittelstege 25 aneinander gelegt und miteinander verschraubt werden. Die die beiden senkrechten Stabelemente (hintere Wandschiene 10 und vordere Säule 11) eines Regalständers 14 miteinander verbindenden Streben 13 bestehen gemäß Fig. 3 aus flachen oder zur Erhöhung ihrer Stei- figkeit in Längsrichtung gekanteten Schienen, die an ihren Enden mit jeweils einem nach unten offenen Haken 30 zum Eingriff in ein entsprechendes Langloch 15 der Wandschiene 10 bzw. Säule 11 versehen sind. Zur Sicherung dieses Eingriffs dienen Sicherungselemente 31, die jeweils einen nach oben offenen Haken 32 aufweisen, mit dem sie jeweils von unten her in ein Langloch 15 der Wandschiene 10 bzw. Säule 11 eingreifen. Nach dem Einhängen werden die Sicherungselemente 31, wie in Fig. 3 angedeutet, mit den Endbereichen der Streben 13 verschraubt. In Fig. 4 bis 9 sind knotenblechartige Verbindungselemente dargestellt, wie sie zur gegenseitigen Verbindung verschiedener Regalelemente an den in Fig. 1 angedeuteten Stellen verwendet werden können.Instead of the box profile assumed in FIGS. 1 and 2, two U-profile rails 20 can also be assembled to form an I-profile, the center webs 25 of which are simply placed against one another and screwed together. The two vertical rod elements (rear wall rail 10 and front pillar 11) of a shelf stand 14 connecting together According to FIG. 3, struts 13 consist of flat rails or rails which are folded in the longitudinal direction to increase their rigidity and which are provided at their ends with a hook 30 open at the bottom for engagement in a corresponding elongated hole 15 in the wall rail 10 or column 11. To secure this engagement, securing elements 31 are used, each of which has an upwardly open hook 32 with which they each engage from below into an elongated hole 15 in the wall rail 10 or column 11. After hanging, the securing elements 31 are screwed to the end regions of the struts 13, as indicated in FIG. 3. 4 to 9 show knot-plate-like connecting elements as they can be used for the mutual connection of different shelf elements at the points indicated in FIG. 1.
Die in Fig. 4 paarweise dargestellten Knotenbleche 40 bestehen jeweils aus einem rechteckigen Blechstück, das an einer Längskante doppelt gekröpft ist. In dem so gebildeten, zur Ebene des Blechstücks parallelen Flansch 42 sind zwei Haken 41 ausgebildet. Diese Knotenbleche 40 dienen zum Einbau beispielsweise von die Regalständer 14 abschließenden (nicht gezeigten) Seitenwänden.The gusset plates 40 shown in pairs in FIG. 4 each consist of a rectangular piece of sheet metal which is doubly cranked on one longitudinal edge. Two hooks 41 are formed in the flange 42 thus formed, which is parallel to the plane of the sheet metal piece. These gusset plates 40 are used, for example, for installing side walls (not shown) which close off the shelf stands 14.
Die Doppelkröpfung bewirkt, daß die Außenfläche der Knotenbleche 40 in der Ebene der äußeren Schenkel 24 der Wandschienen 10 sowie der die Säulen 11 bildenden U-Profilschienen 20 liegen. Gleichzeitig bewirkt die Doppelkröpfung, daß die Knotenbleche 40 in ihrer Stellung bezüglich der Mittelstege 25 der U-Profilschienen 20 festgelegt werden.The double offset causes the outer surface of the gusset plates 40 to lie in the plane of the outer legs 24 of the wall rails 10 and of the U-profile rails 20 forming the columns 11. At the same time, the double offset causes the gusset plates 40 to be fixed in their position with respect to the central webs 25 of the U-shaped rails 20.
Die in Fig. 5 dargestellten Knotenbleche 50 stimmen mit denen nach Fig. 4 mit der Ausnahme überein, daß sie nicht rechteckig sondern im wesentlichen dreieckig sind.The gusset plates 50 shown in FIG. 5 correspond to those of FIG. 4 with the exception that they are not rectangular but essentially triangular.
Die Knotenbleche 60 gemäß Fig. 6 sind, ähnlich wie die nach Fig. 4, rechteckig und weisen an jeweils einer Kante eine einfache Kröpfung auf, so daß sich jeweils ein mit zwei Haken 61 versehener Flansch 62 ergibt. Die Haken 61 dienen wiederum zum Einhängen in zwei Langlöcher 15 einer U- Profilschiene 20, wobei die Form der Knotenbleche 60 zum Anbringen von Verbindungs- oder Abdeckelementen in einer Ebene bestimmt sind, die zu der Ebene der Profil-Mittelstege 25 parallel verläuft.The gusset plates 60 according to FIG. 6 are, similar to that according to FIG. 4, rectangular and have a simple offset on each edge, so that there is a flange 62 provided with two hooks 61. The hooks 61 in turn are used for hanging in two elongated holes 15 of a U-shaped rail 20, the shape of the gusset plates 60 being intended for attaching connecting or covering elements in a plane which runs parallel to the plane of the profile center webs 25.
Die Knotenbleche 70 nach Fig. 7 entsprechen denen nach Fig. 6, sind jedoch nicht rechteckig, sondern im wesentlichen dreieckig. Das in Fig. 8 gezeigte, im wesentlichen dreieckige Knotenblech 80 ist aus einem ebenen Blechstück gebildet und dient gemäß Fig. 1 zur Verbindung beispielsweise einer Traverse 12 mit den Wandschienen 10.The gusset plates 70 according to FIG. 7 correspond to those according to FIG. 6, but are not rectangular, but essentially triangular. The essentially triangular gusset plate 80 shown in FIG. 8 is formed from a flat piece of sheet metal and is used according to FIG. 1 for connecting, for example, a cross member 12 to the wall rails 10.
Das in Fig. 9 gezeigte, ebenfalls im wesentlichen dreieckige Knoten- blech 90 ist an einer Kante mit zwei Haken 91 wiederum zum Einhängen in zwei Langlöcher 15 einer U-Profilschiene 20 versehen und hat im wesentlichen den gleichen Zweck wie das Knotenblech 40 nach Fig. 4; es weist jedoch keine Doppelkröpfung auf und eignet sich für solche Verbindungsstellen, an denen die Ausrichtung der miteinander zu verbindenden Regalele- mente durch andere Mittel erreicht wird.The likewise essentially triangular gusset plate 90 shown in FIG. 9 is provided on one edge with two hooks 91 in turn for hanging in two elongated holes 15 of a U-shaped rail 20 and has essentially the same purpose as the gusset plate 40 according to FIG. 4; however, it has no double offset and is suitable for those connection points at which the alignment of the shelf elements to be connected to one another is achieved by other means.
Sämtliche Knotenbleche 40 ... 90 sind mit mehreren Löchern versehen, die es gestatten, zwei Schraubverbindungen in horizontaler oder in senkrechter oder in diagonaler Richtung anzubringen. Die diagonale Richtung ist insbesondere zum Befestigen von diagonalen Versteifungsstreben geeignet, wie sie insbesondere bei freistehenden Regalen zweckmäßig sind. All gusset plates 40 ... 90 are provided with several holes that allow two screw connections to be made in the horizontal or in the vertical or in the diagonal direction. The diagonal direction is particularly suitable for fastening diagonal stiffening struts, as are particularly useful in free-standing shelves.
