Description

[0001] The invention relates to a storage system for the orderly storage and / or arrangement of objects in land vehicles and / or watercraft and / or aircraft, comprising a mounting device which is designed to hold one or more objects for orderly storage and / or arrangement by reversibly detachable fastening of the one or more objects in a storage area of ​​the mounting device, and a fastening system by means of which the mounting device can be reversibly detachable fastened to a fastening rail, in particular to a slotted rail.

[0002] The invention further relates to a holding device for a storage system for the orderly storage and / or arrangement of objects in land vehicles and / or watercraft and / or aircraft, with a storage area for the orderly storage and / or arrangement by reversibly detachable attachment of one or more objects to the holding device.

[0003] Furthermore, the invention relates to a fastening system for a storage system for the orderly storage and / or arrangement of objects in land vehicles and / or watercraft and / or aircraft for the reversibly detachable fastening of a mounting device of the storage system to a fastening rail, in particular to a perforated rail.

[0004] Furthermore, the invention relates to a storage unit for land vehicles and / or watercraft and / or aircraft with a storage system for the orderly storage and / or arrangement of objects in land vehicles and / or watercraft and / or aircraft, comprising a mounting device and a fastening system, and a fastening rail, in particular a slotted rail, wherein the mounting device can be reversibly and detachably fastened to the fastening rail by means of the fastening system.

[0005] Storage systems with appropriate mounting devices have proven advantageous for neatly storing and / or arranging various items in land vehicles, watercraft, and / or aircraft, ensuring they are secured and / or clearly organized while driving. For example, in camper vans, clothing, beverage bottles, kitchen utensils, and other items can be attached to the mounting device in such a way that they are protected from unintentional movement during travel, particularly during cornering and / or vibrations, and thus remain organized and undamaged at all times. This also protects vehicle occupants from injuries caused by flying objects.

[0006] Storage systems are known from the prior art that can be attached to mounting rails, in particular perforated rails, using a suitable fastening system. Such perforated rails are already widely used in commercial vehicles for load securing and are therefore also suitable for the secure attachment of corresponding storage systems.

[0007] The storage systems already known for mounting on mounting rails are attached to the mounting rail via a so-called 2-point fastening, specifically via two holes in the mounting rail, which is designed as a slotted rail. This 2-point fastening is necessary for the known storage systems to ensure they can withstand heavy objects and do not loosen over time, even under high forces and / or vibrations.

[0008] The two-point mounting system, necessary for the secure attachment of common storage systems, also has several disadvantages. Firstly, the use of two mounting points, a mounting rail (specifically two holes in a slotted rail), results in a significant space requirement for the mounting device. Consequently, the mounting device occupies a large portion of the mounting rail, making inefficient use of space. This can lead to space constraints, particularly in confined vehicle areas, depending on the type and size of the mounting device used.Furthermore, the 2-point mounting system dictates the orientation of the mounting device relative to the mounting rail, preventing individual adjustments such as rotation relative to the rail. This further restricts the already limited mounting options due to the increased space requirements.

[0009] Furthermore, the increased space requirements and limited adjustability regarding orientation can negatively impact the storage system's appearance, particularly through a bulky look or poor integration with the rest of the vehicle's interior. This can lead to dissatisfaction, especially in modern vehicle conversions with high design standards, such as camper van conversions. Finally, for seamless compatibility with different mounting rails, a two-point mounting system relies on a matching spacing of mounting points on the rail—that is, a matching hole spacing on the mounting rail. Since various mounting rail standards with different mounting point spacings are available on the market, this can result in incompatibility.

[0010] The object underlying the invention is therefore to improve the functionality and flexibility of storage systems that can be attached to mounting rails while ensuring reliable and secure attachment.

[0011] The problem is solved with a storage system of the type mentioned above, wherein the mounting device can be locked in a fixed state of the mounting device on a mounting rail by means of a locking element of the fastening system having a locking extension, by engaging the locking extension in a locking recess arranged in a fastening area of ​​the mounting device.

[0012] By locking the mounting device with the locking element of the fastening system, which engages a locking recess located in a mounting area of ​​the mounting device, a single-point fastening of the storage system is enabled. This single-point fastening of the mounting device itself, and thus a one-sided fastening of the mounting device, eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages of a two-point fastening without compromising the safety, reliability, and stability of the fastening. This ensures that the mounting of the storage system does not loosen, even under vibration or with heavy objects being stored. Simultaneously, the locking mechanism and the resulting single-point fastening make mounting the storage system simpler, more straightforward, and overall more user-friendly.

[0013] The mounting bracket can be individually positioned relative to the mounting rail, for example, either perpendicular or parallel to it. This allows the storage system to be tailored to specific needs and / or available space, such as in a camper van. Furthermore, even with longer brackets, the more efficient use of space along the mounting rail makes the storage system significantly more compact, making it suitable for tight spaces and easier to combine with other storage systems. This individual adjustability and space-saving design also result in a more attractive, less bulky, and more elegant appearance for the storage system, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the rest of the vehicle's interior.Furthermore, the compatibility of the storage system with different mounting rails, especially with different standards regarding hole spacing, is also increased.

[0014] The storage system can be used in various applications, including workshop vehicles, camper vans, catering vehicles, motorhomes, caravans, aircraft, sailboats, motorboats, and other commercially and / or privately used vehicles. Specifically, the system allows for the secure storage of items, their clear organization for easier retrieval, and quick access. Items can be arranged on the mounting device in such a way that they cannot be dislodged by vehicle movements, such as during cornering, acceleration, or braking, thus preventing unintentional movement. Examples of suitable items include clothing, shoes, tools, kitchen utensils, bags, and / or backpacks.

[0015] The locking element is preferably designed separately from the mounting device. In a fixed state of the mounting device on the mounting rail, the locking element is preferably arranged between the mounting device, in particular the mounting area of ​​the mounting device, and the mounting rail. The storage system is preferably made of a metallic material, in particular steel, stainless steel, and / or aluminum, and / or a steel alloy, and / or aluminum alloy. Preferably, the mounting device is designed according to one of the embodiments of the mounting device according to the invention described below. Preferably, the mounting system is designed according to one of the embodiments of the mounting system according to the invention described below.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the storage system according to the invention, the engagement of the locking extension of the locking element in the locking recess in the mounting area of ​​the mounting device and the resulting locking of the mounting device on the mounting rail in a fixed state of the mounting device on the mounting rail block an unintentional rotational movement of the mounting device relative to the mounting rail.

[0017] The mounting device is preferably secured to the mounting rail in a rotationally fixed manner by means of the locking element. Consequently, the locking element serves as an anti-rotation device. To this end, the locking extension preferably blocks unwanted rotational, linear, and / or tilting movements of the mounting device, particularly relative to the mounting rail. Furthermore, the locking element preferably prevents the mounting device from unintentionally detaching from the mounting rail. The locking element thus ensures a secure and reliable long-term attachment of the mounting device, even with heavy objects and / or when subjected to external forces acting on the storage system, for example, during vehicle maneuvers.

[0018] In another preferred embodiment of the storage system according to the invention, the locking recess is designed as a rectangular, slot-shaped and / or circular recess and / or as an edge-side recess, in particular an edge-side cutout, notch, indentation and / or depression, and / or as an inside-side recess, in particular an inside-side opening, bore and / or groove, in the mounting area of ​​the mounting device.

[0019] The locking recess is preferably an elongated depression and / or recess arranged at the edge of the mounting device in the fastening area, such that an edge contour of the outer edge of the mounting device extends into the interior of the material in the fastening area. The locking recess can also be rectangular with rounded corners and / or elliptical and / or semicircular and / or oval. As an alternative to an edge-side arrangement, the locking recess can be located in the inner area of ​​the mounting device in the fastening area and / or be designed as a slot-shaped opening, a hole, a bore, and / or a groove. In particular, the locking recess can be a cutout in a sheet metal part.

[0020] In a further preferred embodiment of the storage system according to the invention, several, in particular three, locking recesses for several, in particular three, different locking positions of the locking element are arranged in the mounting area of ​​the mounting device, so that the mounting device can be attached to the mounting rail in several, in particular three, different orientations, in particular relative to the mounting rail, by means of the locking element. The mounting area can have a rectangular, in particular square, base. The locking recesses are preferably arranged at the edges of the mounting area. In particular, one locking recess is arranged at each outer edge of the mounting area. Preferably, the locking recesses are spaced apart from one another and / or offset and / or inclined relative to one another.In particular, the locking recesses are aligned at 90 degrees to each other. Alternatively, the locking recesses can also be aligned at any other angle, for example, between 1 degree and 180 degrees. A desired orientation of the mounting device relative to the mounting rail can preferably be achieved by selecting a corresponding locking recess and engaging the locking extension with the respective locking recess. Preferably, the mounting device can be positioned in this way in four different orientations, each aligned at 90 degrees to each other, and locked in each of these positions. Alternatively, the mounting device can be positioned in more or fewer than four different orientations, each aligned at any angle to each other, and locked in each of these positions.To engage the locking element with the locking recess corresponding to the desired orientation, the locking element is preferably also rotated by 90 degrees or any suitable angle. The mounting device can then preferably be locked onto this recess parallel to the mounting rail in two directions, perpendicular to the mounting rail in two directions, or at any angle relative to the mounting rail.

[0021] Furthermore, a storage system according to the invention is advantageous in which the locking element is designed and / or engages in the locking recess of the mounting rail in such a way that the locking element engages in the mounting rail, particularly in a mounting opening of the mounting rail. The locking element thus preferably engages in the mounting rail when the mounting device is in the fixed position. In this way, anti-rotation protection is implemented, since the mounting rail blocks any rotational movement of the locking element and consequently of the mounting device.The locking extension is preferably designed, in particular being long and / or wide, such that the locking extension projects through the locking recess into the mounting opening of the mounting rail and / or abuts the edges of the mounting opening directly at its ends to block it.

[0022] Furthermore, a storage system according to the invention is preferred in which the mounting device can be attached to the mounting rail by means of the fastening system in a force-fit and / or form-fit manner, in particular by screwing and / or clamping, wherein the fastening system preferably comprises a threaded bolt and a nut, in particular a knurled nut, which can be screwed onto the threaded bolt, and / or the locking element and the mounting device preferably have a fastening recess for the threaded bolt in the fastening area, and / or the locking element and the mounting device are preferably placed onto the threaded bolt in a fastened state of the mounting device on the mounting rail, and / or the threaded bolt has a plate at its end facing the mounting rail in a fastened state and a thread for the nut at its opposite end.and / or the nut, by being screwed to the threaded bolt in a state fixed to the mounting rail, exerts an assembly force on the locking element and / or the mounting area of ​​the bracket, and / or the plate of the threaded bolt, in a state fixed to the mounting rail, exerts an assembly force, in particular a clamping force, on the mounting rail by being screwed to the nut.

[0023] The threaded bolt is preferably guided axially through mounting recesses of the locking element and / or the mounting device in the mounting area, so that the locking element and the mounting device are axially attached to the threaded bolt. The mounting device is preferably clamped to the mounting rail in the mounting area by means of the screw connection. The mounting system preferably comprises a washer, in particular a flat washer, locking washer, and / or spring washer, which can additionally secure the fastening, especially by increasing the clamping force. The washer is preferably arranged axially on the threaded bolt between the nut and the locking element.The plate on the threaded bolt preferably engages under projections in the mounting rail and is pressed against the projections from below by screwing the nut onto the threaded bolt, in order to exert a clamping force on the locking element and the mounting area of ​​the bracket device and thus be clamped in place.

[0024] The threaded bolt preferably has an alignment section, particularly with a square cross-section, at its end facing the mounting rail. This section simplifies the alignment and insertion of the threaded bolt into the mounting rail, especially along its longitudinal axis. The alignment section is thus positioned between the projections of the mounting rail and facilitates the insertion of the plate under and / or between the projections. The mounting recess for the locking element and the mounting area of ​​the holder for the alignment section of the threaded bolt is preferably rectangular, particularly square, for the square alignment section. The nut can alternatively be designed as a wing nut. Preferably, the nut is rotatable by hand, allowing the storage system to be assembled and disassembled without tools.Furthermore, the fastening system may include a cover cap for the thread of the threaded bolt to improve the visual appearance.

[0025] In a further development of the storage system according to the invention, the mounting device can be attached to the mounting rail by means of the fastening system via a single fastening opening of a mounting rail having several fastening openings along its longitudinal extent, in particular via a single fastening hole of several fastening holes and / or via a single fastening groove of several fastening grooves connecting the fastening holes of a hole grid along the longitudinal extent of the mounting rail. The storage system requires only a single fastening opening of the mounting rail for a secure, stable, reliable, twist-proof and durable fastening. This is made possible in particular by the locking element. It is therefore a storage system with a one-sided fastening or with a 1-point fastening.

[0026] In another preferred embodiment of the storage system according to the invention, the mounting device is designed as a mounting arm with two ends spaced apart from each other along its longitudinal extent. The mounting area of ​​the mounting device is arranged at a first end of the two ends, and a second end, spaced apart from the first end, is arranged in a position attached to the mounting rail, in particular free-floating and / or freely hanging position. Thus, only one end of the mounting device is required, particularly for single-point mounting, so that the second end is a free end that is not necessary for attachment to the mounting rail.

[0027] The problem underlying the invention is further solved by a mounting device of the type mentioned above, wherein the mounting device according to the invention comprises a fastening area for reversibly detaching the mounting device to a mounting rail, in particular a slotted rail, wherein at least one locking recess for engaging a locking extension of a locking element for locking the mounting device in a fastened state on a mounting rail is arranged in the fastening area. The mounting device according to the invention is preferably a mounting device for a storage system according to one of the embodiments described above. With regard to further advantages and modifications of the mounting device according to the invention, reference is therefore made to the advantages and modifications of the storage system according to the invention.

[0028] The mounting device is preferably designed as a mounting arm. The mounting device can have one or more mounting legs, in particular angled legs. The mounting device is preferably made of a sheet metal part. The mounting device is preferably designed as a doubly angled elongated sheet metal part, in particular as a bent sheet metal strip. The mounting device is in particular bent in a U-shape. The storage area can be adapted for different types of objects, in particular shaped to accommodate specific objects.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the mounting device according to the invention, several, in particular three, locking recesses for several, in particular three, different locking positions of the locking element are arranged in the mounting area of ​​the mounting device, so that the mounting device can be attached to the mounting rail in several, in particular three, different orientations, in particular relative to the mounting rail, by means of the locking element.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the mounting device according to the invention, the mounting device has, at least partially in the storage area, reinforcement, particularly to increase bending and / or torsional stiffness, wherein the mounting device in the storage area has, at least partially, one or more flanges, particularly extending along the longitudinal extent of the mounting device, and / or a greater material thickness and / or one or more reinforcing ribs and / or reinforcing folds and / or reinforcing beads. The reinforcement preferably makes the mounting device additionally more mechanically resistant to heavy objects and / or large acting forces, so that the mounting device is protected against buckling and / or bending and / or even breakage.The chamfers can preferably also serve as an adaptation for the advantageous holding of objects and / or for the mechanical protection of objects held by the holding device. For example, chamfers can provide rounded edges to protect sensitive objects, such as hoses and / or ropes, from damage.

[0031] In another preferred embodiment of the mounting device according to the invention, the mounting device has one or more bores, and / or one or more, in particular hook-shaped, extensions, and / or one or more storage surfaces in the storage area for reversibly detachable arrangement and / or fastening, in particular for placing and / or hooking and / or hanging and / or setting down and / or clamping, objects to be stored and / or for arranging and / or fastening storage accessories to adapt the storage area to different objects. Such storage accessories can, for example, include bags, boxes, specially adapted holders such as bottle holders, or similar accessories for the safe and / or organized storage of various objects.

[0032] The object underlying the invention is further solved by a fastening system of the type mentioned at the outset, wherein the fastening system according to the invention comprises a locking element having a locking extension which is designed to lock the mounting device in a fixed state of the mounting device on a mounting rail by engaging the locking extension in a locking recess arranged in a mounting area of ​​the mounting device of the storage system.

[0033] The fastening system according to the invention is preferably a fastening system for a storage system according to one of the embodiments described above. Furthermore, a mounting device according to the invention, according to one of the embodiments described above, can preferably be reversibly and detachably attached to a mounting rail by means of the fastening system according to the invention. With regard to further advantages and modifications of the fastening system according to the invention, reference is therefore made to the advantages and modifications of the storage system and / or the mounting device according to the invention. The locking element is preferably designed as a centering angle. The locking element is preferably designed as a sheet metal part.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the fastening system according to the invention, the locking element is designed as a locking plate and / or locking sheet, wherein the locking extension is preferably designed as a bent sheet metal edge of the locking element, in particular as a 90-degree bend. The locking extension of the locking element is preferably designed as a sheet metal section bent, in particular by 90 degrees. Alternatively, the sheet metal section can be bent at any other angle between 1 degree and 180 degrees. The edge lengths of the locking element preferably correspond to the width of the mounting rail and / or the mounting area of ​​the holder device, so that the locking element does not protrude. The locking element preferably has a rectangular or square base. The bend preferably extends longitudinally along a sheet metal edge of the locking element.

[0035] In another preferred embodiment of the fastening system according to the invention, the fastening system comprises a threaded bolt and a nut, in particular a knurled nut, which can be screwed onto the threaded bolt, for force-fit and / or form-fit fastening, in particular screwing and / or clamping, of the mounting device to the mounting rail, wherein the threaded bolt has at its end facing the mounting rail in a state fastened to the mounting rail a plate for exerting a clamping force on the mounting rail and at its opposite end a thread for the knurled nut, and / or the locking element exerts a clamping force on the mounting device by screwing the nut to the threaded bolt for clamping.

[0036] The problem underlying the invention is further solved by a storage unit of the type mentioned above, wherein the storage system and / or the mounting device and / or the fastening system is designed according to one of the embodiments described above. With regard to further advantages and modifications of the storage unit according to the invention, reference is therefore made to the advantages and modifications of the storage system and / or the mounting device and / or the fastening system according to the invention. The fastening rail is preferably designed as a load securing rail. In particular, the fastening rail is a so-called airline rail. The fastening rail preferably comprises a plurality of fastening openings, in particular holes, along its longitudinal extent.

[0037] The mounting holes have a circular cross-section. The mounting holes are preferably connected along the longitudinal extent of the mounting rail by grooves, the grooves preferably being formed by symmetrical projections arranged between the mounting holes and spaced apart transversely to the longitudinal extent. Preferably, the head of the threaded bolt of the mounting system engages under the projections, the head being pushed laterally through a mounting hole under the projections. The mounting rail can be designed as a slotted rail with a standardized hole pattern with a 25 mm hole spacing.

[0038] Preferred embodiments of the invention are explained and described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a side exploded view of a storage system according to the invention in a state oriented transversely to a mounting rail; Fig. 2 a side view of the storage system made of Fig. 1 in a state attached transversely to the mounting rail; Fig. 3 a frontal view of the storage system made of Fig. 1 in a state attached transversely to the mounting rail; Fig. 4 a perspective view of the storage system made of Fig. 1 in a state oriented perpendicular to the mounting rail; Fig. 5 a side exploded view of a storage system according to the invention in a state aligned parallel to a mounting rail; Fig. 6 a side view of the storage system made of Fig. 5 in a state aligned parallel to the mounting rail; Fig. 7 a frontal view of the storage system Fig. 5 in a state attached parallel to the mounting rail; Fig. 8 a perspective exploded view of the storage system made of Fig. 5 in a state aligned parallel to the mounting rail; Fig. 9 a locking element of a storage system according to the invention in a perspective view; and Fig. 10 a holding device according to the invention in a perspective view.

[0039] The Fig. Figures 1 to 4 show a storage system 10 according to the invention, each of which is oriented transversely to a mounting rail 102. The storage system 10 according to the invention is arranged in the Fig. 1 in a side exploded view, in which Fig. 2 in a side view in a state attached to the mounting rail 102, in which Fig. 3 in a frontal view in a state attached to the mounting rail 102 and in the Fig. 4 shown in a perspective view.

[0040] The Fig. Figures 5 to 8 show the storage system 10 according to the invention in a state aligned parallel to the mounting rail 102. The storage system 10 according to the invention is shown in the Fig. 5 in a side exploded view, in which Fig. 6 in a composite side view, in which Fig. 7 in a frontal view in a state attached to the mounting rail 102 and in the Fig. 8 shown in a perspective exploded view.

[0041] The storage system 10 comprises a mounting device 12, which can be reversibly and detachably attached to a mounting rail 102 by means of a fastening system 28. The storage system 10, together with the mounting device 12 and the fastening system 28, forms a storage unit 100 with the mounting rail 102. The mounting device 12 has a fastening area 14 at its first end E1, via which the mounting device 12 can be attached to the mounting rail 102 by means of the fastening system 28. A storage area 18 extends between the fastening area 14 located at the first end E1 and the second end E2 of the mounting device 12, to which objects of various kinds can be arranged and / or attached.Thus, by means of the storage system 10, items such as clothing, tools, kitchen utensils and / or bags and backpacks can be reversibly and detachably attached to the mounting device 12 for storage, organization and / or securing, particularly in different vehicles, for example in land vehicles, water vehicles and / or aircraft, especially in the camping sector, so that they are protected from unwanted movements and resulting damage even during the journey.

[0042] The illustrated embodiment of the holding device 12 is designed as a U-shaped bent sheet metal, which features elongated bends 20 for improved functionality and to protect the objects from sharp edges, and to increase bending and / or torsional stiffness in the storage area 18. The reinforcements 20 can protect objects arranged on the holding device 12 in the storage area 18, such as hoses and / or ropes, from damage caused by friction against the sheet metal edges and / or simplify the placement and / or lifting of objects from the holding device 12 by reducing friction.

[0043] In order to enable the mounting device 12 to be reversibly detachable in the mounting area 14 on the mounting rail 102, the storage system 10 comprises a mounting system 28 which is designed to implement a 1-point mounting or a one-sided mounting of the mounting device 12 at only the first end E1 on the mounting rail 102, so that the mounting device 12 does not have to be attached to the mounting rail 102 at both ends E1, E2, as is usual in the prior art.This significantly improves the user-friendliness, functionality, and flexibility of the storage system according to the invention by allowing the mounting device 12 to be individually aligned on the mounting rail 102, as well as by significantly more efficient space utilization compared to 2-point mountings, without compromising the reliability and security of the mounting of the storage system 10 on the mounting rail 102. The reliable and secure 1-point mounting of the mounting device 12 is made possible in particular by a locking element 32 of the mounting system 28, by means of which the mounting device 12, when attached to the mounting rail 102, can be locked by means of a locking extension 30 of the locking element 32 engaging in a locking recess 16a-16c, or several locking recesses 16a-16c, arranged in the mounting area 14 of the mounting device 12.The locking extension 30, which engages both in the desired locking recess 16a-16c of the mounting device 12 and, in a fastened state, in a fastening opening 104 of the fastening rail 102, secures the mounting device 12 to the fastening rail 12 in a rotationally secure manner, thus protecting the mounting device 12 from unwanted rotational movements relative to the fastening rail 102 and / or from unintentional loosening of the fastening of the mounting device 12 from the fastening rail 102 by means of the fastening system 28.

[0044] To attach the mounting device 12 to the mounting rail 102 using the fastening system 28, the desired position of the storage system 10 relative to the mounting rail 102 is first selected. The mounting rail 102 is designed as a perforated rail, for example as an airline rail, which has several fastening openings 104 along its longitudinal extent L. These openings are connected by fastening grooves 106, which are formed by projections 108. The fastening openings 104 are arranged next to each other at intervals A. The mounting rail 102 can therefore be designed as a perforated rail, as is known in particular from the field of load securing in commercial vehicles.

[0045] Depending on whether the storage system 10, in particular the mounting device 12, is to be aligned parallel to or perpendicular to the mounting rail 102, the locking element 32 with the locking extension 30 must engage with a different locking recess 16a-16c in the mounting area 14 of the mounting device 12. If the mounting device 12 is to be aligned perpendicular to the mounting rail 102, the locking element 32 with the locking extension 30 is engaged either with the locking recess 16a or with the locking recess 16c, which are arranged parallel to each other in the mounting area 14.If a parallel alignment of the mounting device 12 to the mounting rail 102 is desired, the locking extension 30 is engaged with the locking recess 16b, which in the illustrated embodiment is aligned at a 90-degree angle to the locking recesses 16a, 16c. The locking recesses 16a-16c are designed as elongated, edge-side notches on the edge of the mounting area 14, which correspond to the locking extension 30. Fig. 1 to 4 with the transverse orientation of the mounting device 12, the fastening extension 30 is arranged corresponding to the locking recess 16a. In the Fig. 5 to 8 with the parallel alignment of the mounting device 12, the locking extension 30 is arranged correspondingly with the locking recess 16b.

[0046] To attach the mounting device 12 to the mounting rail 102 using the mounting system 28, a threaded bolt 34 is inserted into the mounting rail 102 through a desired mounting opening 104. A plate 40 of the threaded bolt 34 is then threaded along the longitudinal extent L of the mounting rail 102 under the projections 108, so that an alignment section 36, which is square in shape, is located between the projections 108. The square alignment section 36 facilitates the insertion of the threaded bolt 34 between the projections 108 by preventing it from twisting. The mounting device 12 is then placed onto the threaded bolt 34 in the desired orientation relative to the mounting rail 102 in the axial direction X.

[0047] The locking element 32 is now also placed axially X onto the threaded bolt 34 with the locking extension 30 oriented in the direction corresponding to the orientation of the mounting device 12, so that the locking extension 30 engages in the mounting opening 104 of the mounting rail 102 via the corresponding locking recess 16a-16c, thus securing the mounting device 12 to the mounting rail 102 in a rotationally secure manner. A washer 46 is then placed axially X onto the locking element 32, which further improves the security and reliability of the fastening.

[0048] A nut 44, which is specifically designed as a knurled nut, is then screwed onto a thread 42 of the threaded bolt 34. By screwing the nut 44 onto the threaded bolt 34, a clamping force is exerted on the projections 108 by the plate 40 of the threaded bolt 34, which engages under the projections 108. This clamping force secures the mounting device 12 to the mounting rail 102. If the nut 44 is designed as a knurled nut, it can be tightened by hand without tools. Finally, to achieve a visually appealing appearance of the storage system 10, a cover cap 48 can be placed over the thread 42 protruding from the nut 44 to conceal it.

The locking element 32 is designed as a locking plate and comprises a locking extension 30, which is designed as a sheet metal bend of the locking element 32 bent by 90°. In order to be able to place the locking element 32 onto the threaded bolt 34 for locking the mounting device 12 when attached by means of the fastening system 28, the locking element 32 comprises a centrally arranged mounting recess 38, which is rectangular in shape so that it can engage with the alignment section 36 of the threaded bolt 34.

[0051] The Fig. Figure 10 shows a mounting device 12 according to the invention in a perspective view. It can be seen that the mounting device 12, in the fastening area 14, in which the locking element 32 rests against the mounting device 12 when attached to a mounting rail 102, has, in addition to the edge-side locking recesses 16a to 16c, a central fastening recess 28, which is brought into alignment with the fastening recess 38 of the locking element 32 for fastening by means of the fastening system 28, so that the threaded bolt 34 can be inserted in the axial direction X through both the fastening recess 38 of the mounting device 12 and the fastening recess 38 of the locking element 32.The fastening recess 38 in the fastening area 14 of the mounting device 12 is also rectangular in shape, so that it can engage with an alignment section 36 of the threaded bolt 34 which is designed as a square.

[0052] The next section begins from the Fig.Figure 10 shows that the mounting device 12 has two bores 22 in the storage area 18 in a section of the storage area 18 facing the first end E1 of the mounting device 12. In a section of the storage area 18 facing the second end E2, several projections 24 are arranged, which are formed by notches in the mounting device 12. In a region of the storage area 18 located between the ends E1 and E2 of the mounting device 12, which is reinforced by the reinforcement 20 designed as chamfers, a flat storage surface 26 is arranged.Both the bores 22 and the hook-shaped extensions 24 in the storage area 18 can be used, for example, to attach various objects to be arranged on the mounting device 12 and / or to attach further storage accessories, for example, to attach bags and / or boxes and / or to attach other fastening means, for example, rubber bands and / or lashing eyes.

[0053] The storage surface 26 can, for example, be used to place objects over it, such as hoses and / or ropes, whereby the angled reinforcements 20 are suitable in this case to simplify hanging over and / or to avoid damage to the objects when hanging over and / or removing them by reducing friction.
