Definitions

the invention relates to a shelf and its parts, in particular a shelf shelf.
Shopfitting and storage technology usually uses metal shelves.
Such shelves include slotted columns in which consoles are hung.
the brackets serve as support arms for shelf shelves which rest on the consoles.
the shelf shelves are usually made of sheet metal stamped parts, which are suitably folded and provided with beads and grooves to make them torsionally rigid.
such shelves are often provided with stiffening profiles (sub-carriers), which are welded or glued on their underside.
DE 202010018122 U1 discloses such a grid shelf, on its underside in turn stiffening profiles are welded. Along the front edge of this grid shelf is welded from above and below each a round rod to the wire mesh. These round wires can be used to clamp price tags and markers that face a viewer standing in front of the shelf.
Shelves made of sheet metal and grid shelves each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Shelves made of sheet metal are lighter and more economical and suitable for the presentation of most goods. However, they often require cleaning, since they can accumulate on them and in particular in the mentioned groove dirt. Grid shelves are less prone to accumulating dirt.
the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a shelf shelf and a shelf that are economical to manufacture and have a flawless appearance.
Claim 8 relates to a shelf with such a shelf shelf.
the dependent claims relate to preferred embodiments of the invention.
the shelf shelf according to claim 1 has a support surface for supporting goods, at the front edge of which an upwardly over the support surface protruding bead is formed.
the front edge is in the use of shelf shelf to the viewer, in a store shelf so the customer faces.
the bead helps to prevent a drop of goods from the support surface to the front.
the bead stiffens the front edge of the shelf shelf and counteracts its bending under load.
the bead can also be used as a means of attaching price or badges.
Claims 2 to 4 relate to expedient embodiments of the bead.
the shelf can be made of wire or other materials.
the support surface of the shelf is made of sheet metal and the bead is formed by a hollow profile of sheet metal integral with the support surface.
the bead forming hollow profile has a cross-sectional shape with rounded edges, and protrudes both upwards and downwards beyond the plane of the support surface.
it has a flat front surface, which in the horizontal orientation of the support surface after pointing in front at the top.
the round shape avoids unpleasant sharp edges on the viewer facing the front edge of the shelf shelf.
the hollow profile designed in this way can be used to clamp price tags or markers, for example rails with a transparent plastic surface, behind which labeled cards can be inserted. These then point with the front surface forward on top of the viewer. If the bead protrudes less upward than downward beyond the support surface, it is sufficiently rigid but hardly contributes to the accumulation of dirt on the support surface.
each a round rod is welded, resulting in a uniform appearance.
the hollow profile of the shelf shelf when viewed from the side of the same contour, so essentially the same outline of its cross-sectional shape as the two round bars of the grid shelf and when resting on similar shelf brackets are the bearing surfaces and the two contours at the front of the shelf and the grid shelf at the same height and largely congruent.
the appearance of the shelf is thus homogeneous and uniform regardless of whether and how the shelf shelf with the grid shelf mixed on the shelf is installed. Also, then the same price or award signs can be optionally mounted on the shelf or on the grid shelf.
the shelf bracket at its front end on a nose, which is slightly larger than said contour of the hollow profile or optionally the contour of the two round rods according to claim 10 when viewed from the side.
This nose covers any sharp edges on the ends of the hollow profile on the two sides of the shelf shelf and protects any price and Ausolinslitis against accidental stripping from the side.
top, bottom, front, rear, “left” and “right” refer to the consideration in the intended use of the shelf parts in a shelf.
the viewer is in front of the shelf, for example, the customer in front of a store shelf, and looks “front” on the front edge of the shelf shelf, lie on the goods for presentation.
the shelf shelf rests on consoles, which are "behind”, so hung on the side facing away from the viewer of the shelf in shelf columns.
FIG. 1 Shelf shelf 1 shown in perspective from the front right above has a flat support surface 2 for placing goods.
a hollow profile 4 is formed, which forms a cross-sectionally rounded bead along the front edge 3. This hollow section 4 will be described below in connection with FIG. 2 described in more detail.
sub-carrier 5 On the underside of the support surface 2 serving as reinforcing profiles sub-carrier 5 are mounted, which are parallel to the front edge 3.
the hollow section 4 and the sub-carrier 5 are approximately equal in length and only slightly shorter than the extension of the shelf shelf between its left and right sides.
a flange 6 is bent downwards in each case.
two short vertical cuts in the material of the support surface 2 and the respective flange 6 are introduced in the region of the fold and the web 7 formed from the material between the two cuts in the space below Support surface 2 is pressed so that it forms a small protruding into the space under the support surface 2 eyelet.
each flange 6 in the vicinity of the front edge 3 on a projecting into the space under the support surface 2 bulge 8.
the support surface 2, the hollow section 4 and the flanges 6 are made in one piece from a single sheet steel blank, which corresponds to the in FIG. 1 folded form is folded and folded.
the sub-carriers 5 are likewise made of sheet steel and are tapered or spot-welded from below to the bearing surface 2.
FIG. 2 shows the shelf 1 in a view from the left.
This view shows how the hollow profile 4 is integrally formed on the support surface 2.
the material here steel sheet, from which the shelf is made, initially bent upwards and then in a bead-like curve down, where this material forms a flat front surface 9.
the material is bent in an arc further to the bottom of the support surface 2 out where it is welded from below to the support surface 2, suitably spot-welded. This creates a closed hollow profile 4 with a rounded surface.
the hollow section 4 stiffens the front edge of the shelf shelf 1 and counteracts its deflection during loading.
the hollow section 4 protrudes slightly above the support surface 2 with a small bending radius. This may prevent goods from moving forward (right in FIG. 2 ) slip down from the support surface 2. Below the front surface 9, the hollow profile 4 has the opposite to a larger bending radius. Overall, an arrangement results in which the front surface 9 is slightly turned forward to the top. On the hollow section 4 (not shown) price or mark plates are attached, which have a C-shaped cross-section and embrace the hollow section 4. The label on such signs is then advantageous on the front surface 9, which points obliquely above. This makes it easy to read the caption from a viewer looking diagonally from above.
FIG. 3 also shown in a view from the left. It has on its upper side a support edge 32 on which the shelf 1 rests with the underside of its support surface 2 in the gap between the sub-carriers 5 and the flange 6.
the console 31 has hooks 35 for hooking into slotted shelf columns.
it is provided with a over the support edge 32 upwardly projecting nose 34.
the nose 34 has substantially the same contour as the hollow profile 4. This implies that the contour or contour of the nose 34 is slightly larger than the contour of the hollow profile 4. Thus, the nose covers 34 when mounted shelf any sharp-edged ends of the hollow section 4 and also prevents that clamped on the hollow section 4 Preiscorptagen markings can be accidentally pushed aside or stripped off the hollow profile to the side.
the contour of the nose 34 includes a substantially straight edge 39, which as well as the front surface 9 of the hollow section 4 facing forward above.
a substantially L-shaped recess 36 is present in the support edge 32, which can stand along the support edge 32 a projecting from back to front cantilevered tongue 37.
the bracket 31 Near its front end, the bracket 31 has a recess 38.
the in FIG. 4 Lattice shelf 41 shown in perspective from the top right front has a flat support surface 42 made of wire mesh for supporting goods. At the bottom of the support surface 42 are parallel to the Leading edge 43 extending reinforcing profiles 45 welded. Along the left and the right side of the support surface 42 each have a profile strip 46 is welded to the lateral ends of the reinforcing profiles 45. This has an inverted U-shaped cross section with a welded to the reinforcing profiles 45 inner leg 46-1 and an outer leg 46-2.
the outer leg 46-2 corresponds to the flange 6 of the shelf shelf 1 and is provided with a web 47 corresponding to the web 7 of the shelf 1.
the web 7, 47 does not have to form a closed eyelet but can also take the form of a tongue with a point that protrudes inwards, ie here in the space between the legs 46-1 and 46-2.
FIG. 5 A view of the grid shelf 41 from the left is in FIG. 5 shown.
a first round rod 44-1 extending along the front edge 43 is welded from above onto the support surface.
second round rod 44-2 is welded, which has a slightly larger diameter than the first round rod 44-1.
the two round rods 44-1 and 44-2 stiffen the leading edge 43 against bending under load. In addition, they mask any sharp edges of the wire grid of the support surface 42.
the first round rod 44-1 also prevents the unintentional slipping of goods from the support surface 42 forward (right in FIG. 5 ).
the lattice shelf 41 is made as the shelf 1 expediently made of steel.
the entirety of the two round rods 44-1 and 44-2 at the front edge 43 of the grid shelf 41 when viewed from the side about the same contour or the same outline as the hollow section 4 of the shelf 1 above the two round rods 44-1 and 44-2 can be the same in cross-section C-shaped price or Ausolinstage
the support surface 2 is at the same height as the support surface 42; and the hollow section 4 is at the same height as the entirety of the round bars 44-1 and 44-2.
the nose 34 of the bracket 31 covers the nose 34 of the bracket 31, the lateral ends of the round rods 44-1, 44-2 in the same manner as the lateral ends of the hollow section 4.
