Description

[0001] The invention relates to a carrier device with storage facilities for the presentation of objects, for example glasses, or with mirrors, according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] From DE 20 2014 103 767 U1, a presentation device with horizontal storage units on a vertical wall panel is known. Each storage unit has a support plate and a presentation plate arranged on the support plate, on which the items to be presented, for example, eyeglasses, can be placed. The support plate is connected to a insertion projection that is detachably inserted into a corresponding insertion recess in the wall panel.

[0003] In DE 20 2016 102 189 U1 a presentation device with a vertical support panel and storage devices for presenting objects is also shown, wherein the storage device has a support profile that is a support for a presentation plate placed on it and into which at least one support groove for fastening a receiving device is provided.

[0004] The invention is based on the objective of designing a versatile support device of the generic type using simple design measures.

[0005] This problem is solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. The dependent claims specify advantageous further developments.

[0006] The support device according to the invention, which can also be referred to as a presentation device, comprises a vertical support panel, in particular a wall panel, which is, for example, attached to a wall, as well as at least one, preferably several, storage devices and / or one or more mirrors, which are held on the support panel and, in the case of the storage devices, serve to present objects such as, for example, eyeglasses, and, in the case of the mirrors, to allow the view of a person standing in front of the support device. Each storage device and each mirror is held on the support panel by means of a holding device.

[0007] The holding device comprises a magnetic holder with a magnet for holding the storage unit or mirror. The magnetic holder is detachably attached to the support panel, with the magnet positioned on the support panel and facing the storage unit or mirror. The storage unit consists wholly or partially of a magnetizable material and is magnetically attracted to the magnet. The mirror also contains magnetizable material, for example, in a frame or holder of the mirror, or on a plate on the back of the mirror.

[0008] This design has the advantage that the shelves and mirrors are attached to the vertical support panel using magnetic force. The shelves and mirrors can be attached without tools and in a very short time. Accordingly, replacing or adding more shelves and mirrors is also easily accomplished.

[0009] The magnetic holders and magnets are concealed by the storage units and mirrors, and are therefore not visible to people standing in front of the support panel, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and minimalist appearance. The storage units and mirrors can be arranged on the support panel in any configuration, allowing for a high degree of customization.

[0010] In an advantageous embodiment, the magnet holder can be attached to the support panel via a screw connection. It may be expedient for the magnet holder itself to be designed as a screw, which, for example, is guided through a recess in the magnet and can be screwed onto or into the support panel.

[0011] The magnet can be in direct contact with the support panel. In another embodiment, the holding device includes a spacer disc that rests against the wall side of the support panel and is smaller than the magnet to which it connects. Accordingly, the spacer disc is positioned between the magnet and the support panel. Due to the smaller size of the spacer disc compared to the magnet, a circumferential groove runs along the outer edge of the spacer disc between the magnet and the support panel. A positive locking element, located on the back of the storage device, projects into this groove. This positive locking element provides additional security against the magnetic connection becoming unintentionally loosened.The positive locking element is located particularly above the magnet and, through the positive locking mechanism, prevents the storage device or the mirror from detaching from the magnet due to its own weight, possibly in combination with the weight of objects placed on the storage device, by means of a release moment.

[0012] According to yet another advantageous embodiment, the positive locking element is designed as an angled piece that is firmly connected to the rear of the storage device or the mirror, with a bent end section of the angled piece projecting into the groove on the circumference of the spacer. The angled piece is, for example, Z-shaped. It can be formed integrally with the storage device or the mirror, or with a frame for the mirror. Alternatively, the angled piece can be a separate design, but it is firmly connected to the storage device or the frame for the mirror.

[0013] Furthermore, it can be advantageous to have an elastic buffer element on the back of the storage device or mirror. This buffer element is positioned, in particular, below the magnet and provides elastic and soft support for the storage device or mirror against the support panel. The buffer element is designed to fill the gap between the back of the storage device or mirror and the support panel. This ensures that the storage device or mirror hangs vertically on the support panel.

[0014] According to another advantageous embodiment, a large number of magnetic holders can be attached to the support panel. For this purpose, receptacles for the magnetic holders can be incorporated into the support panel at a defined grid, for example, along horizontal and vertical rows. This makes it possible to arrange the storage devices and mirrors on the support panel in any desired configuration.

[0015] Further advantages and practical designs can be found in the additional requirements, the figure description, and the drawings. These show: Fig. 1 in perspective view a support device with a vertical support panel to which storage devices and mirrors are magnetically held, Fig. 2 a sectional view through a support device in the area of ​​a storage device.

[0016] In the figures, identical components are labelled with the same reference symbols.

[0017] The figures depict a support device 1, designed as a presentation unit for displaying, for example, high-quality small items such as eyeglasses, watches, or jewelry in retail or showrooms. The support device 1 has a vertically oriented support panel 2, which is designed, for example, as a wall panel and can be attached to a wall. The support panel 2 has several shelves 3 on its front surface, each with a different horizontal extent, which serve to hold the items. Each shelf 3 is angled and comprises a horizontal shelf surface and a vertical back panel, the shelf surface and back panel being formed as a single unit. The shelves 3 are made of a magnetizable material and are attracted to magnets.The storage devices 3 consist primarily of metal; they may be powder-coated if necessary.

[0018] Furthermore, several mirrors 4 of varying sizes and shapes are located on the front of the support panel 2. Each mirror 4 has a frame or holder on its back, which is also made of a magnetizable material. The mirror material is, for example, located on a rear metal plate, which may also be powder-coated.

[0019] Both the storage units 3 and the mirrors 4 are held on the support panel 2 by means of disc-shaped magnets 5, which are screwed to the support panel 2 with screws 6. The screws 6 form a magnet holder for the magnets 5. When screwed in, the magnets 5 rest against the wall side of the support panel 2. It may be advantageous to provide recesses in the support panel 2 to receive the magnets 5. Each storage unit 3 and each mirror 4 is advantageously held on the support panel 2 by at least two magnets 5.

[0020] The magnetic holders with magnets 5 are evenly arranged in several superimposed rows on the support panel 2. The storage devices 3 and the mirrors 4 can be easily attached to the support panel using the magnets 5 without tools and can be removed or rearranged at any time.

[0021] In Fig. Figure 2 shows a support device 1 in one embodiment. The storage devices 3 and the mirrors are held in place, as in the previous embodiment, by means of magnets 5, wherein a spacer 7 is located between each magnet 5 and the wall side of the support panel, and is in direct contact with the support panel 2. The magnet 5 and the spacer 7 can be arranged as in Fig. 1. can be screwed onto the support panel 2 using a screw.

[0022] The spacer 7 has a smaller diameter than the similarly disc-shaped magnet 5, so that a circumferential groove 8 is formed on the outer circumference of the spacer 7. An end section 9a of an angled positive locking element 9 projects into this groove 8. This positive locking element is located on the rear side of the storage device 3 or the mirror and is fixedly connected to the storage device 3 or the mirror. The positive locking element 9 is located above the magnet 5 and compensates for a torque that arises when a load acts on the horizontal section of the storage device 3, as indicated by the arrow. This torque tends to break the magnetic connection between the magnet 5 and the vertical section of the storage device 3. Thus, by projecting into the groove 8, the positive locking element 9 prevents the storage device 3 from unintentionally detaching from the magnet 5.

[0023] Below the magnet 5, on the rear side of the storage device 3, is an elastic buffer element 10 in the form of a hemisphere, the spherical side of which rests against the support panel 2. When a load is applied to the storage device 3, the buffer element 10 is pressed against the support panel 2, thus preventing the storage device 3 from detaching from the magnet 5. The buffer element 10 is dimensioned such that it fills the gap between the rear side of the storage device 3 and the support panel 2, ensuring that the vertical section of the storage device 3 remains perpendicular and, correspondingly, the horizontal section remains horizontal.

[0024] The aforementioned statements apply accordingly to mirrors, which, analogous to the storage devices 3, can also be stabilized by means of the engagement of the positive locking element 9 in the groove 8 and by means of the buffer element 10. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
