Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a shelf module part made of sheet steel according to the preamble of claim 1. The shelf modules made of sheet steel, which can be used individually and in combination, are suitable for the installation of energy technology equipment, as normal furniture for living rooms, bedrooms and basements, for offices, storage rooms and any related installation indoors and outdoors. State of the art

[0002] Conventional shelving units are predominantly made of wood, typically plywood. Plywood consists of at least three layers of wood glued and pressed together. The outer surface of the panels is veneered, which defines the color and appearance of the shelf.

[0003] The shelves typically consist of a roughly rectangular frame that can be placed on the floor or hung on a wall, and arranged in various configurations. The front opening can be fitted with a door, and the back can be closed off with a panel.

[0004] Based on the current state of technology, we notice the following: The plywood shelving modules have a high glue content, resulting from a detrimental, environmentally damaging, chemical manufacturing process. Over the years, the particleboard releases formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a ubiquitous trace chemical and the most abundant carbonyl compound in the atmosphere. Formaldehyde irritates mucous membranes and can cause cancer. The mechanical fasteners used to assemble the shelving modules are specifically designed for the furniture industry, but the plywood provides a relatively soft surface for fastening, which loses considerable mechanical strength after repeated screwing. The required torsional rigidity deteriorates rapidly and significantly. If exposed to water from a burst pipe or flooding, the wood quickly becomes saturated, leading to unsightly changes in its appearance. Plywood components must not be burned; they should be disposed of as bulky waste.Plywood burns very quickly and extensively. The new shelving module made of sheet steel, which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages, is already known in its housing design from patent DE 10 2020 004 773 B3. The following additional prior art documents are known: DE 84 30 823 U1 describes an office furniture element for assembly with other furniture elements; DE 15 91 623 C describes a demountable cabinet for devices and modules for telecommunications equipment; WO 2016 / 041 002 A1 describes shelving module cabinets that are joined together using a plug-in / clamping device; US 2016 / 0095 430 A1 describes a shelving module system as a frame construction. Description of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide shelf modules that are variable and characterized by high flexibility and simple construction. According to the invention, this objective is achieved by the features of claim 1. Steel sheet is a sustainable and very environmentally friendly material and integrates optimally into our existing circular economy due to its function- and demand-dependent flexibility. After disassembly of the housing, the parts can be reused after their initial use. Steel sheet is predominantly used in galvanized form and is very flexible in its shaping. It is formed into intelligent and complex parts and industrially manufactured through very precise punching, cutting, and the use of multiple bending processes. Galvanized steel sheet is generally used.These materials can be powder-coated in any color with lead-free powder, making them corrosion-resistant and ensuring a long service life. Modern powder coatings and industrial coating facilities allow for a wide range of creative and aesthetic design possibilities. Steel sheet is non-combustible and possesses high mechanical strength.

[0006] The new shelf modules (1) offer advantageous design possibilities resulting from their preferably cube-like or cube-like shape. The shelf module system component (2) according to the invention has mounting holes and cutouts that allow the shelf modules (1) to be mounted one above the other, side by side, or offset laterally. The shelf modules (1) can be rotated 90° to the left or right and attached to other shelf modules (1) using universal mounting parts (3). The component (2) according to the invention is equipped with holes and cutouts such that the shelf modules (1) can be arranged vertically or horizontally without any intermediate partition, on the left, right, top, or bottom, in order to achieve a larger volume than that of a cube when the shelf modules (1) are stacked from bottom to top or sideways.Universal mounting profiles (3) can then be inserted into and secured to the part (2) according to the invention, resulting in torsionally rigid, taller interior spaces. This offers the user a great deal of flexibility in terms of design options, for example, for storing clothing. Advantages include the high strength of the entire structure, a vast number of design possibilities for constructing all types of furniture, both indoors and outdoors, sustainable use of materials, non-combustible properties, odorlessness, and liquid resistance.

[0007] According to the invention, the aforementioned problems are solved by the features of claims 1 to 3. Brief description of the drawings

[0008] Further objectives, features, advantages and application possibilities of the housing will become apparent from the previous description of an exemplary embodiment based on the drawings.
