Abstract

Storage surface of variable size for tool-free insertion and removal into standardized lashing / cargo / airline rails (1) characterized in that the system rail (3) can be inserted at an angle into the central slot of the standardized lashing / cargo / airline rail by means of its custom design, and locks itself in place by the weight load of the storage plate (2) attached to the system rail (3) so that the storage surface can now bear weight.

Description

[0001] Shelves, for example in the camping / RV sector, are usually permanently mounted, take up space even when not in use, and are not readily available on the exterior, especially on a camper / RV, even though everyone would need such a system. My invention solves this problem by allowing for tool-free attachment of shelves of various sizes, so that, for example, the camper doesn't have to set up a table to have immediate storage space wherever they choose! The only requirement for using my invention is the presence of a standardized lashing rail / airline rail, which is readily available everywhere.

[0002] The invention specified in claim 1 solves this storage problem.

[0003] The invention achieves the immediate creation of a storage area where a standardized, appropriately positioned lashing rail / airline rail / cargo rail is attached, and a manufactured storage area corresponding to claim 1 is attached for tool-free insertion!

[0004] The design of the shelf manufactured according to claim 1, in such a way that it automatically positions itself at exactly a right angle to the lashing rail into which it is hooked, i.e. the shelf neither “hangs” nor points “upwards”, is characterized by material applications marked “4” in the drawings on the L-shaped system rail with 3, and is set out in claim 2.

[0005] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the Fig. 1-4 explained.

[0006] They show: Fig. 1: The ready-to-use, tool-free, complete storage tray in example size. Fig. 2: The side view of the inserted, ready-to-use storage surface 4 shows the material application on the system rail 3, for 90-degree positioning of the entire storage area. Fig. 3: Top view of the storage area Fig. 4: Side view of the storage area

[0007] In the figures, the storage unit is labelled: Storage plate 2, System bracket 3, this serves to mount the storage plate 2, and to insert it into the lashing rail / airline rail, which itself is labelled 1. Reference symbol list 1 Standardized lashing / airline / cargo rail 2 storage trays (example size) 3 System rail 4. Material application onto system rail for 90-degree positioning 5. Mechanical / force-fit fastening of the shelf (2) to the system rail (3)

Claims

[1] Variable-sized storage surface for tool-free insertion and removal into standardized lashing / cargo / airline rails (1) characterized by , that the system rail (3) can be inserted at an angle into the central slot of the standardized lashing / cargo / airline rail due to its custom design, and locks itself in place by the weight load of the shelf plate (2) attached to the system rail (3) so that the shelf surface can now bear weight. [2] Storage area according to claim 1, characterized by , that the material application (4) or the shaping of the system rail (3) ensures that the suspended storage surface according to claim 1 is automatically positioned at exactly a 90 degree angle to the lashing / cargo / airline rail (1). [3] Storage area according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , which consists of two basic components: system rail (3) and shelf plate (2), which are mechanically / force-fit connected to each other [4] Storage area according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , which, by changing the length of the system rail (3), achieves a storage surface length dimension of preferably 0.1m - 2m
