State of the art

[0002] Transport devices of the type described above are known as furniture dogs from US 7 275 752 B2, DE 33 01 360 A1, DE 30 40 671 A1, DE 295 15 234 U1 and DE 20 2014 009 821 U1. Summary of the invention

[0003] The invention is based on the objective of further developing a generic transport device in a way that is advantageous for use.

[0004] The problem is solved by the invention specified in the claims, wherein the dependent claims are not only advantageous further developments of the transport device specified in the main claim, but also represent independent solutions to the problem.

[0005] The transport device according to the invention consists of two transport elements. Each transport element has at least two, but preferably a sufficient number, running elements so that it has a stable support plate. Three running elements are, for example, attached to the underside of the support plate at the corners of a triangle, thus forming a triangular base. Two transport elements according to the invention can be placed at different points under a piece of furniture, so that the piece of furniture can be moved on a flat surface using the transport elements. The running elements are, in particular, rollers. The transport elements can be used not only in a separate state, but also in a connected state as a means of transporting furniture or the like. The transport area can be enlarged by combining several connected transport elements.According to the invention, connecting elements are provided for this purpose, with which the support elements of at least two transport elements can be connected to one another. Two transport elements can be connected to each other while lying side by side. In particular, two longitudinal edges running parallel to each other can lie next to each other. Such a parallel arrangement can be achieved by using connecting elements. The connecting elements can be profile elements. It is particularly provided that the connecting elements are hook elements that can interlock with each other; for example, a connecting element can be a coupling projection that engages in a coupling recess of another transport element. According to the invention, two transport plates can be connected to each other with connecting elements in such a way that they stand in a stable V-position relative to each other.It is specifically designed that the two transport elements only touch at one point, leaving a triangular gap between two V-shaped, opposing longitudinal edges. The connecting element can be an L-rail or a differently shaped profile. The connecting element preferably has two spaced-apart attachment points where it can be fastened to mounting points on the transport plate. The transport plate can, in particular, have two mounting points on one of its narrow edges where the connecting element is secured in a storage position. The connecting element then preferably has a length shorter than the length of the narrow edge of the support plate. However, the connecting element can also be used to connect two support plates.For example, two support plates in a parallel arrangement can be connected by placing the connecting elements at their diverging narrow edges. The longitudinal edges of the two transport plates are in contact. The extensions of the longitudinal edges are crossed by the connecting elements, whose attachment points are each secured to a mounting point belonging to one of the two support plates. In the parallel arrangement, the connecting elements are located primarily at the ends of the support plates. Additional mounting points are provided near the longitudinal edges. In the parallel arrangement, these additional mounting points are spaced closer together than the mounting points on a connecting element, allowing them to be used to fasten the two support plates together in a V-arrangement.For this purpose, two connecting elements are preferably used, one connecting element being arranged at attachment points in the region of the narrow edges and the other connecting element being attached at attachment points adjacent to the longitudinal edges that face each other in the V-arrangement. The connecting element extending along the narrow edge preferably has an L-shaped cross-section, with one leg of the L abutting a narrow side of the support plate and the other leg abutting the broad side of the support plate. The connecting element is preferably fastened to the attachment point on the support plate by means of a fastening screw whose axis runs perpendicular to the broad side surface. The connecting element associated with the narrow edge connects the two support plates in both the V-arrangement and the parallel arrangement.The connecting element thus forms a kind of linkage, with the support plates pivoting around the connection points or fastening screws when moved from the parallel arrangement to the V-arrangement. In the V-arrangement, free end sections of the connecting elements can enter angled recesses in the narrow edge. A handle is preferably provided. The handle has two insertion sections that run parallel to each other and can be inserted into insertion openings in the support plate. The handle can be connected to the support plate by means of fastening elements. It is particularly provided that, in addition to the insertion sections, screw connection elements, such as threaded shanks onto which a nut can be screwed, protrude through a fastening opening in the support plate, e.g., parallel to the insertion sections.It is also provided that threaded sections are arranged at the ends of the handle end sections, onto which fastening nuts can be screwed. Furthermore, it is provided that fastening latches are provided on the underside of the support plate, which secure the handles to the support plate. The insertion sections are preferably end sections of two handles running parallel to each other. The handles can be connected to each other by a bridge. The bridge also forms a depth stop for the depth-limited insertion of the handle end sections into the insertion opening of the support plate. Insertion openings are provided adjacent to the narrow edges. In the parallel arrangement or the V-arrangement, an end section of the handle can be inserted into each insertion opening of one of the support plates, so that the handle, and in particular the bridge of the handle, connects the two support plates.The insertion openings are spaced such that the handle can be inserted into the same openings with both its end sections in both the V-arrangement and the parallel arrangement. The narrow edge of the support plates opposite this narrow edge also has insertion openings for the insertion sections of a handle, so that a handle can be arranged on each of the narrow sides of two support plates connected at their longitudinal edges. This creates a transport space between two handles in which items to be transported, such as firewood, can be stacked and transported by the transport device, which then has a total of six running elements.Two guide rails are located adjacent to the diverging longitudinal edges, and two guide rails are located at the intersection of two adjacent longitudinal edges. One of the two support plates has two insertion openings located on its longitudinal center plane. The two end sections of the handle can be inserted into these openings. The handle then extends parallel to the longitudinal center line, i.e., parallel to the two longitudinal edges. With two transport plates coupled together, such a handle arrangement can be used to transport plates. This is particularly advantageous when the two transport elements are connected in a parallel arrangement.The other transport element has insertion openings adjacent to a longitudinal edge into which stop elements, for example, stop pins, can be inserted, against which the plates transported in this configuration can rest. The stop elements and the ends of the handles preferably have cylindrical insertion sections with identical diameters, so that the same circular insertion openings can be used. In a variant of the invention, two corner regions of two transport plates are pivotally connected to each other via a fastening screw. A connecting link can consist of two arms. One end of each arm is connected to the support plate of one of the two transport elements via a fastening screw. The two other ends of the arms are connected to each other via a fastening screw.By pivoting the handlebars, the transport plate arrangement can be changed from a parallel arrangement to a V-arrangement.

[0006] In a further development of the invention, which also has independent significance, it is provided that the support plates have coupling projections on two adjacent edge edges. These coupling projections point in the direction of the surface normals of the broad sides of the support plates. The two other adjacent edge edges of the support plate can have coupling recesses, so that several transport elements can be connected to each other in one plane using such coupling elements. The coupling projections of one support plate engage with the coupling recesses of another support plate. The support plates also preferably have a handle opening. Thus, first coupling elements are provided, arranged at first edges, with two first edges being perpendicular to each other.Preferably, a second edge is positioned opposite each first edge, and this second edge features the second coupling elements that can be brought into a positive engagement with the first coupling elements. The transport device preferably consists of two interconnected support plates, each of which is stably supported by running elements. The longitudinal edges of the support plates are at least twice as long as the narrow edges. However, it is also possible for a transport device to consist of only one support plate with four running elements. In this case, the narrow edges of these support plates are longer, so that the ratio between the length of the longitudinal edge and the length of the narrow edge is less than 2. Furthermore, anti-slip elements can be attached to the broad side of the support plate, which faces upwards during use. These can be surface sections designed with increased friction. Here, too, the running elements are preferably rollers. Brief description of the drawings

Description of the embodiments

[0008] The Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11 to Fig. Figure 12 shows a first embodiment of a transport device, which essentially consists of two transport elements 1, 1' that can be used both separately and in different arrangements relative to each other for transporting furniture or other objects. Fig. 6 and Fig. Figure 7 shows the two transport elements 1, 1' in separate illustrations, showing how they can be used independently. Each transport element 1 has a support plate 3 with a substantially rectangular plan. The support plate 3 has two opposing longitudinal edges 5, 7, which run parallel to each other, and narrow edges 6, 8 running perpendicular to them. The length of the longitudinal edges 5, 7 is at least twice the length of the narrow edges 6, 8.

[0009] The broad side of the support plate 3, which faces upwards during use, has a plurality of insertion openings 17, 18, 19 into which the end sections of a handle 10 can be inserted in various arrangements. The handle 10 extends transversely to the plane of the broad side of the support plate 3.

[0010] The support plate 3 also has fastening points 14, 14', 16 to which the support plate 3 can be attached with a connecting element 4. At the fastening points 14, 14', 16, there are bores in the direction of the surface normal of the broad side of the support plate 3, through which threaded shanks of fasteners can be inserted. Fastening nuts 13 can be screwed onto the threaded shanks. The nuts 13 are located on the downward-facing rear side of the support plate 3.

[0011] The connecting element 4 is an L-shaped rail that can be made of steel, plastic, or another suitable material. The length of the connecting element 4 is less than the length of the narrow edge 6, 8, so that the connecting element 4 can be attached to a narrow edge 6, 8 of only one support plate 3 in a storage position, as shown by the Fig. 6 or Fig. Show 7.

[0012] The connecting elements 4 allow two support plates 3 to be connected to each other in various arrangements. Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. Figures 4, 11, and 12 show the two support plates 3 in a parallel arrangement, in which the longitudinal edges 5, 7 of two adjacent support plates 3 touch. The connecting elements 4 are arranged at the two diverging narrow edges 6, 8. Each connecting element 4, 4' has a fastening point 15, 15' attached to a fastening point 14, 14' of a support plate 3 by means of a restraint element 13. One leg of the L-shaped connecting element 4 rests against the underside of the support plate 3 and is subjected to force against the underside by the restraint element 13. A horizontally extending L-leg of the connecting element 4 rests against the two aligned narrow edges 8 and 6, respectively.

[0013] The two transport elements 1, 1' can be moved from a parallel arrangement to a V-arrangement. For this, the restraint elements 13 that bind the connecting element 4' must be released so that the connecting element 4' can be completely removed from its position at the narrow edge 8. The opposite connecting element 4 only needs to be moved into a release position so that the two support plates 3 can pivot slightly relative to the connecting element 4. The two diverging end sections of the connecting element 4 can then enter angled recesses 12 in the narrow edge 6.

[0014] The support plates 3 are then inserted into the Fig. 8, Fig. 9 to Fig. 10 is brought into the operating position shown, in which the two longitudinal edges 5, 7 run in a V-shape towards each other and touch in the area of ​​their transition edge to the narrow edge 6.

[0015] The restraint elements 13 are now placed in fastening openings at the fastening points 16, which are adjacent to the longitudinal edges 5, 7 and which, in the parallel arrangement, have a distance from each other that is less than the distance between the fastening points 15 of the connecting element 4. With this connecting element 4', the support plates 3 are stabilized in the V-arrangement.

[0016] On the underside of the support plate 3 are three rollers 2. However, differently designed guide rails can also be arranged there. Instead of rollers 2, gliders can also be arranged there. Furthermore, it is generally sufficient if each support plate 3 has only two guide rails 2 that are spaced apart from each other, so that connected or used transport elements 1, 1' have stability.

[0017] A handle 10 consists of a U-shaped bent tube, for example a steel tube, in which the two free ends are connected to each other by means of a web 9. End sections of the parallel handle legs of the handle 10 can be inserted into insertion openings 17, the insertion openings 17 being spaced apart from each other such that the handle 10 can be inserted into the insertion openings 17 in both a parallel and a V-arrangement. In the assembled state, the web 9 rests on the broad side surface of the support plate 3.

[0018] The Fig. Figure 11 shows a further arrangement in which another handle 10 is inserted into insertion openings 17, so that two handles 10 are opposite each other and their end sections are inserted into insertion openings 17, which are arranged on opposite narrow edges 6, 8. Such an arrangement is particularly suitable for transporting firewood or the like, which can be stacked between the two handles 10.

[0019] The Fig. Figure 12 shows an arrangement of a handle 10 and stop elements 20, which gives the transport device the functionality of a panel trolley. The end sections of the handle 10 are inserted into insertion openings 18, which are arranged on a longitudinal centerline that runs parallel to the longitudinal edges 5, 7 and intersects approximately in the middle of the narrow edges 6, 8. The end sections of the handle 10 are screwed to the support plate 3 by means of fasteners. Stop pins 20 are inserted into insertion openings 19, which are adjacent to the longitudinal edge 5 of the transport element 1'. The lower edge of a panel to be transported can rest against the stop element 20. The surface of the panel can rest against the upper end of the handle 10. The center of gravity of the panel lies above the broad side surface of the assembly consisting of two transport elements 1, 1'. The diameters of the insertion openings 17 to 19 are equal.The insertion ends of the handle brackets 10 and the insertion ends of the stop pins also have the same diameter.

[0020] On the underside of the support plate 3 are three rollers 2, with two rollers located in the corner region and one roller approximately in the middle of a longitudinal edge. In the connected state, the longitudinal edges 5, 7 point towards each other, with the single roller 2 in the middle, so that the four remaining rollers 2 are arranged in the corner regions of the assembly.

[0021] On the broad side surface of the support plates 3, which faces upwards during use, there are friction-enhancing surface sections 26. These can be formed by rubber mats glued to the broad side.

[0022] The Fig. 13 and Fig. Figure 14 shows a second embodiment of the invention in which two interconnected support plates 3 of each transport element 1, 1' can be moved from a parallel arrangement to a V-arrangement. Here, a connecting element 21 is provided, which defines a pivot axis about which the two transport elements 1, 1' can be pivoted from the parallel arrangement to the V-arrangement. The connecting element 22 is formed here by two links, which are each attached to a support plate 3 by fastening elements 23, for example, a fastening screw. The two other ends of the links are connected to each other by a fastening screw 23'. By pivoting the two links of the connecting element 22 in a scissor-like manner, the ends of the support plates 3 opposite the connecting screw 21 can be spaced apart from each other, so that the Fig. The V-shape shown in 14 is achievable.

[0023] The Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17, Fig. 18, Fig. 19, Fig. 20 to Fig. Figure 21 shows a third embodiment of the invention, in which one or more transport elements 1 can be coupled to one another via coupling members 24, 25. Each transport element 1 has a rectangular support plate 3 whose aspect ratio is less than two. Coupling projections 25 are arranged on two longitudinal edges 5, 6 that are arranged at an angle to each other. Coupling recesses 24 corresponding to the coupling projections are arranged on two further adjacent edges 7, 8, so that two or more transport elements 1 can be coupled to each other in the Fig. 20 and 21 can be connected to each other in the manner shown, so that a large transport area is formed, which is formed by several support plates 3 extending in one plane.

[0024] The broad side surface of the support plate 3 also has a multitude of identically shaped insertion openings 17, 18, 19 into which end sections of a handle 10 or stop elements 20 can be inserted. The insertion openings 18 extend along a line that intersects the longitudinal edges 6, 8 at approximately one-quarter of their length, so that this transport element 1, with its four rollers 2 arranged on the underside in the corner area, can also be inserted into the Fig. 18 can be used as a flatbed trolley.

[0025] Furthermore, two handles 10 can also be arranged in a direct opposite position, so that the transport element 1 is in the Fig. The arrangement described in section 19 is suitable for transporting, for example, firewood. A similar arrangement can also be achieved by two coupled transport elements 1, 1', as shown in the Fig. 20 shows.

[0026] The Fig. Figure 21 shows that three or more transport elements 1 can also be coupled together at an angle.

[0027] The Fig. 22 and Fig. 23 show another arrangement of the transport elements, as shown in the Fig. 15 and Fig. Figure 16 shows that the two transport elements 1, 1' are connected to each other at their two longitudinal edges by means of connecting bars 29 arranged on the underside of the transport plate. The connecting bars 29 are each fastened to the underside of the support plate 3 by means of restraint elements 13 in the form of threaded screws / nuts.

[0028] The bridge 9 of the handle 10 has threaded shafts running parallel to the end sections of the handle 10, which pass through insertion openings 27 in the support plate 3. Restraint elements 28 in the form of a restraint nut are screwed onto these threaded shafts from the underside of the support plate 3. Optionally, additional fastening screws 30 may also be provided, which pass through fastening screw through-holes in the bridge 9 from above or are screwed into the support plate 3.

[0029] The Fig. Figure 23 shows a connecting bar 29, which is attached to the underside of a support plate 3 by means of two restraint elements 13. The connecting bar 29 joins two transport elements 1, 1' that abut each other at their longitudinal edges.

[0030] The Fig. Figure 24 shows the connecting bars 29 in a storage position. They are attached to the underside of the support plate 3 by means of two restraint elements 13.

[0031] The Fig. 25, Fig. 26 to Fig. Figure 27 shows an arrangement of three or more transport elements 1, 1', 1", which are connected to each other at both their narrow edges and their longitudinal edges by means of connecting bars 29. Here too, the connecting bars 29 are each connected to the undersides of the support plates 3 by means of two restraint elements 13.

[0032] The Fig.Figure 27 shows details of this connection. A threaded screw 31 is inserted from the top through an opening in the support plate 3 and passes through an opening in a connecting bolt 29. The restraint element 13, designed as a nut, is screwed onto the free end of the threaded shaft. The screw 31 has a countersunk head that sits in a countersunk opening in the top of the support plate 3.
