Description

filing system

The invention relates to a filing system for creating a shelf on a wall, for example, building wall with at least one elongated, supporting, attachable to the wall base element to which further functional elements can be fastened.

Storage systems of this type are known in principle, for example in the form of shelves, which, e.g. used in garages or basements. These filing systems of known type have wandformige base elements which are mounted vertically on a wall, preferably screwed. These base elements are for example provided with insertion openings, in which supports can be hung, on which then shelves or the like. Can be arranged.

These storage systems, known in various configurations, are essentially only suitable as simpler shelves and are less variable, i. not adaptable to different types of use.

The object of the invention is to provide a filing system which is particularly variable and can be created in a simple manner, where it should be as stable as possible.

This task is in a filing system of the beginning designated type inventively achieved in that the base member is made as elongated hollow body and on a wall facing away from the front at least three each extending in the longitudinal direction of the base member rows of mounting holes for securing the functional elements, wherein the rows of mounting holes relative to the longitudinal axis of the base element are each offset by an angle to each other.

Thus, there is provided a storage system which is highly variable since, unlike known storage systems of this type, each base element not only has a series of mounting apertures, but at least three, which are preferably symmetrically angled relative to one another, thus providing variability significantly increased. Since the base element is made as an elongated hollow body made of metal, it is extremely stable, so that the storage system is also suitable for carrying heavier loads, such as car tires or the like.

Particularly preferably, it is provided that the at least three attachment rows are each offset by an angle of 45 ° or a multiple thereof against each other. At least five are particularly preferred Attachment rows provided. If the mounting rows are each offset by an angle of 45 ° to each other, for example, room corners can be usefully exploited by the corresponding distance two base elements are attached to two right-angled walls and connecting elements are then attached to the corner of the two base elements.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the base element on the front side has a hood-like front part with the rows of fastening openings and on the back a plate-shaped fastening element for attachment to the wall, which are connected to each other, in particular welded.

Most preferably, it is provided that the base member within the hollow body has an adapted to the outer contour of the hood-like front part, elongated, connected to the fastening element locking member having aligned with the rows of mounting holes in the hood-like element rows of mounting holes.

In this design of the base element, this is particularly stable because it forms a complete hollow body. det. Especially useful is the design with the additional locking element. Rod-shaped functional elements that can carry heavier loads are then first passed through the respective attachment opening in the front part and locked at the back in the aligned mounting opening of the locking element. The locking element can also be absent if the storage system does not have to be designed for heavy loads, or if the front part is dimensioned accordingly.

Further advantageous embodiments will be apparent from the subclaims 5 to 17.

The invention is explained in more detail below by way of example with reference to the drawing. This shows in

Figures 1 to 3 show a simplified representation of a front view, top view and side view of a generally designated 1 in these figures filing system attached to a vertical building wall 2 (building inner wall), for example, to a basement wall or on the inner wall of a garage and using elements of the filing system according to the invention was created.

The central element of the storage system 1 is the elongated base element 3 produced in the manner described in more detail from steel sheet as a hollow body, which is oriented with its longitudinal extension in the vertical direction by suitable means, for example by means of screws and dowels to the wall 2. The base element 3 serves for fastening a wide variety of functional elements of the storage system, which protrude radially away from the base element 3.

These functional elements are in the storage system of Figures 1 to 3 substantially of rods 4 and radially extending from these rods extending support arms 5 frame-like supporting structures, which then Ge objects can be suspended and / or can be used in the shell-like elements of the filing system. The rods 4 are oriented in the storage system 1 with its longitudinal extent parallel to the surface of the wall 2 and spaced therefrom. The support arms 5 may have a wide variety of forms, for example in the form of elbows, which are then fastened twice with a leg to the base member 3 and stand with another leg perpendicular to the wall 2 of the wall thereof.

For this purpose, the rods 4 and support arms 5 are fastened to two sides of the base element 3 which are remote from one another and run parallel to one another.

Furthermore, it is also possible to attach the bracket formed as an angle 5 by hanging on the rods 4 held directly on the base member 3, as is indicated for example in Figures 2 and 3 for the local support arms 5 and 5a.

Figures 4 and 5 show in a representation like Figure 1 or 3 as a further possibility, a storage system la, which in turn is realized using a base element 3. On this base element are again on two opposite and parallel to each other orien- attached surfaces 4 rods which are radially projecting from the base member 3 and connected at their ends in a suitable manner, for example by screwing with each one parallel to the longitudinal extent of the base member extending cross member 6. For example, vehicle tires can then be suspended on the frame elements produced thereby or on holders projecting away from the transverse struts 6.

At the top of the base element 3 further three brackets 7 are fixed, in such a way that these brackets are offset by the longitudinal axis of the base member by 90 ° from each other, ie with mounted tray la two brackets 7 from the opposite and mutually parallel sides of the Base member 3 protrude and are thus arranged parallel to the plane of the wall, while a bracket 7 protrudes from the front side of the base member 3 in the figure 4. On the brackets 7, a storage board or board 8 is fixed, in such a way that it lies with its surface sides in a horizontal plane, protrudes in the representation of Figure 4 on both sides of the base member 3 and also from the wall 2, such as this particular also the side view of the storage system la according to the figure 5 shows. The base element 3 is shown in detail in FIGS. 6 to 13. As the figures show, the Basislement 3 is formed as an elongated hollow body and preferably consists of three different parts, namely a hood-like front part 9, a rear plate-shaped fastening element 10 and disposed within the base member 3, adapted to the outer contour of the hood-like front part 9 , elongated locking member 17. All parts 9, 10, 17 are preferably made of sheet steel, by punching and bending. The element 9 is designed hood-like, with a total of five over the entire length of the base member 3 extending flat surfaces 9.1 - 9.5, which have the same width transverse to the longitudinal extent and in the cross section of the base member 3 (Figure 8) corresponding to the sides of a Connect the octagon to each other, so that each adjacent area encloses an angle of 135 ° with each other.

The two sides 9.1 and 9.5 form the opposite and parallel sides of the front part 9. The page 9.3 forms in the plane perpendicular to the sides 9.1 and 9.5 lying front of the front part 9 and the two sides 9.2 and 9.4 respectively connect the front 9.3 with one of pages 9.1 or 9.5. In each side 9.1 - 9.5 mounting holes 11 are provided in the middle and in the same grid in the longitudinal direction of the base member 3 sequentially. The attachment openings 11 are identically formed and have a cross section which is composed of an elongate hole oriented at its longitudinal extent in the longitudinal direction of the base element 3, rounded at both ends and a round opening whose diameter is greater than the width of the oblong hole and that in the middle of the longitudinal extent the slot is provided so that each mounting hole 11 has a central, substantially circular portion 11.1 and two diametrically extending from the central portion 11.1 extensions 11.2, the width of which is smaller than the diameter of the portion 11.1 and with their ends in each case on one are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the base member extending central axis M of the respective surface 9.1 - 9.5.

The axes of all openings 11 intersect a common longitudinal axis of the base member 3, as indicated in the figure 8 with the broken lines, in the illustrated embodiment, the openings on the sides 9.2 and 9.4 are each opposite to the openings on the other sides by half Grid spacing offset in the longitudinal direction of the base member 3. On the element 9, a water vault 12 is further provided on the surface 9.3, with which it is possible to fix the base element 3 aligned exactly in the vertical direction on the wall 2.

On the side opposite the surface 9.3, the element 9 is closed by the plate-shaped fastening element 10 serving as a closure bottom, the fastening element 10 being shaped so that it extends in the middle in the longitudinal direction of the base element 3 and over the Surface facing away from 9.3 facing back of the element 10 projecting and in cross-section (Figures 8, 13a) rectangular portion 10.1, which forms an exact contact surface of the base member 3 and at the edge regions each recessed portions 10.2, which merges into overlapped by the front part 9 bends 10.3 in which the front part 9 and the fastening element 10 are connected to one another, for example by spot welding.

At section 10.1 3 holes 13 are provided for fastening screws at the two ends of the base member. In order to ensure the accessibility of the mounting holes 13, the element 9 is chamfered at both ends of the base member 3. The two ends of the base element 3 can be replaced by a For example, made of plastic lid can be closed.

In order to increase the stability of the base element 3, it is particularly preferably provided that within the hollow body an elongate locking element 17, which is adapted to the outer contour of the hood-like front part 9, is arranged, which is shown in detail in FIGS. 11 and 12 is. This locking member 17 has in adaptation to the front part 9 five each extending over the entire length flat surfaces 17.1, 17.2. 17.3, 17.4, 17.5, which are arranged parallel to the surfaces 9.1 to 9.5 of the front part 9. In these areas 17.1 to 17.5 9 aligned rows of mounting holes 28 are provided with the mounting holes 11 of the front part, which are preferably formed schlüsselochartig. For example, if rods 4 are to be attached to the base member 3, which should be suitable to carry heavier loads, the end of a rod 4 is inserted through a mounting hole 11 of the front part 9 and fixed end in an aligned bore 28 of the locking element 17 of the base member 3 , as indicated in Fig. 8.

By the described design of the base element. 3 it is possible to attach to the surfaces 9.1 and 9.2 or on the surface 9.3 functional elements that extend parallel to the plane of the wall 2 or parallel to the mounting plane or perpendicular thereto from the base member 3, while at the surfaces 9.2 and 9.4 the attachment of functional elements is possible, which extend away from the base element at an angle of 45 ° relative to the mounting plane (wall 2). This makes it also possible to use building or room corners for the arrangement of shelves.

Figures 14 to 19 show the formation of the special connector for securing the rods 4 and the console 7 on the base member 3 in the region of the attachment openings there 11. The connector consists of a latch-like clamping screw 14 with an externally threaded threaded shaft 14.1 and one at a End of this shaft, for example, by welding (butt welding) fastened latch-type head 14.2. This is formed flat and tab-like, with rounded ends such that it is oriented with its longitudinal extent in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the base member 3 inserted into a respective attachment opening 11 and then by rotation about the axis of the threaded shank 14.1, for example, 90 ° in the mounting hole can be locked so that it ment 3 engages behind on its inner side in the region of the respective attachment opening 11.

Assigned to the clamping screw 14 is an essentially disc-shaped centering flange 15, for example made of plastic, which has a bore 15.1 for the threaded shank 14.1 in the middle or axially equal to its axis. On one side of the centering flange 15 is provided with two guide portions 16 which are provided offset by 180 ° about the axis of the bore 15.1 and outside each having a circular cylindrical surface 16.1, whose axis is provided coaxially with the axis of the bore 15.1. The diameter of the circular cylinder on which the outer circular arc-shaped surfaces are arranged 16.1 is equal to or slightly smaller than the diameter of the section 11.1 of the mounting holes 11, so that the centering flange 15 with its guide pieces 16 having the end each in such Mounting opening from the outside of the base member 3 can be used. Internally, the guide pieces 16 form two rectilinear, mutually parallel and spaced-apart surfaces 16.2, which are also oriented parallel to the axis of the bore 15.1 and whose distance is equal to the width of the head piece 14.2, so that each centering flange 15 by a clamping screw 14 in the manner to the is supplemented that the head piece 14.2 is received between the two guide pieces 16 and the threaded shaft 14.1 protrudes through the bore 16 through the side facing away from the guide pieces 16 of the centering flange 15. In order to avoid falling out of the clamping screw 14 from the centering flange 15, locking lugs 16.3 are formed on the surfaces 16.2, behind which the head piece 14.2 engages.

At the side facing away from the guide pieces 16 of the centering flange 15 is provided with a coaxial with the bore 15.1 formed circular recess 18 whose diameter is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rods. 4

In the figure 20, the end of one of the rods 4 is shown again. The rod 4 is there arranged with a coaxial with the rod axis and accessible on the front side threaded hole 19, into which the threaded shank 14.1 of the pre-assembled in the centering 15 clamping screw 14 can be screwed. For the attachment of a rod 4 to the base member 3, this is thus provided with the pre-assembled with the clamping screw 14 centering flange 15 at the respective end, by partially screwing the threaded shaft 14.1 in the threaded hole 19. Subsequently, the Zen- Trierflansch 15 with its guide pieces 16 and arranged between these guide pieces latch or head piece 14.2 inserted into the relevant attachment opening 11 and then rotated for example by 90 ° about the axis of the threaded shaft 14.1. By holding the Zentrierflansches 15 can then by tightening the rod 4 on the threaded portion 14.1, the clamping screw 14 and with this also the rod 4 are fixed to the base member by locking and clamping.

Two such, each formed by a clamping screw 14 and a centering 15 connectors are also used to attach the respective console 7.

This console, which is made for example as a molded part from a suitable plastic, has at the rear of a rear mounting portion two spaced circular cylindrical projections 19 each having an opening 20. The center distance of the projections 19 is equal to the center distance of the mounting holes 11 at one of the sides 9.1 - 9.5. The outer diameter of the projections 19 is equal to the diameter of the recesses 18 of the Zentrierflansche 15. The attachment is again characterized in that the respective, pre-assembled with a clamping or locking screw 14 centering flange 15 in the relevant attachment opening 10th used and then a temporary lock by turning the Zentrierflansches 15 takes place. Following this, the relevant console 7 is placed with its projections 19 and the associated openings 20 on the threaded shank 14.1 of a respective clamping screw 14, so that each projection 19 is received in a recess 18 of a centering 15. The final fixation is then carried out by screwing the nut 21 (Figures 21 and 22) on the free end of the threaded shank 14.1 each clamping screw 14, while retaining the centering flange 15th

Instead of the disk-shaped centering flange 15 but also another, the guide pieces 16 exhibiting centering can be provided. Figures 20 and 21 show, for example, a support arm or arm 23, the For example, is made of plastic and at one end to the back of a local bore 24 offset two guide pieces 16 corresponding guide pieces 25 has. On the opposite side of the boom 23 is provided with a recess 18 corresponding recess 26 so that, for example, the fixing of a rod 4 in the manner described above can also be done using a clamping screw 14 and the boom 23, the head 14.2 then with his Longitudinal extension is arranged coaxially with the longitudinal extent of the boom 23 arranged between the two guide pieces 25. After insertion of the guide pieces 25 and arranged between these head piece 14.2 in the relevant attachment opening 11 is carried out by pivoting the boom 23 about the axis of the threaded shank 14.1 the provisional locking on the base member 3 and then the final clamping by tightening the rod 4 with its threaded bore 19th on the threaded portion 14.1, wherein the respective end of the rod 4 is in turn received in the recess 26. Likewise, the final fixing of the arm 23 can also be done by screwing the nut 22 on the threaded shank 14.1 of the clamping screw 14, wherein the nut 22 is then received by the recess 26.

To the boom 23 after final fixing against to secure an unwanted pivoting on the base member 23, a wing-like projection 27 is formed on the back of the boom 23 in the region of the guide pieces 25 and the bore 24, which projects beyond the guide pieces 25 at both ends and engages in the respective attachment opening 11.

The invention has been described above by means of exemplary embodiments. It is understood that numerous changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive concept underlying the invention.
