Abstract
Description
[0001] Shelves are typically an integral part of shelving and are attached to the sides of vertical shelf supports, for example. The shelves have a support surface for storing and / or displaying goods. This support surface is often arranged at an angle to encourage the goods on it to slide. This principle of the inclined plane is increasingly used in retail shelving. The support surface of the shelves is inclined forward toward the side where goods are removed, for example to ensure that goods units, usually arranged one behind the other in a row, slide down automatically when a product unit at the front has been removed.
[0002] One possible embodiment of such a sliding shelf is known from DE 201 14 098 U1. There, the shelves are attached to shelf supports by being hooked into the slots in the shelf supports. The shelf supports each have a plurality of slots arranged one behind the other in a row along the length of the shelf supports. An inclined position of the support surface of the shelves is achieved by hooking them into corresponding slots in these rows of slots.
[0003] A shelf of this type is known from EP 1 442 674 A1. Further shelves are known from US 2018 / 0020848 A1 and WO 2013 / 052975 A1.
[0004] One object of the invention is to provide a shelf that allows for different installation situations and allows use as a slanted shelf. Furthermore, an arrangement of such a shelf on a corresponding support structure is to be provided.
[0005] The object is achieved with a shelf having the features of claim 1. To achieve the object, an arrangement having the features of claim 6 is further proposed. Advantageous embodiments and / or refinements and / or aspects of the invention emerge from the subclaims, the following description, and the figures.
[0006] A basic shelf comprises a front, a back, and two opposing side sections. For example, the side sections lie between the front and back, and / or the side sections extend into the area of the front and / or back, and / or to the front and / or back.
[0007] The shelf further comprises an upper side, which forms a support plane for goods. For example, the upper side is laterally delimited by the front side and / or the rear side and / or the side sections. For example, the support plane is formed by a support surface, which can be formed, for example, on a particularly flat support plate or on at least one elongated support profile extending longitudinally between the front side and the rear side, or on a roller conveyor or the like. For example, the support surface is provided with a sliding-promoting coating or has a sliding-promoting material or consists of such a material.
[0008] The side sections are assigned a pull-out device, which has at least two coupling points for attachment to a support structure for the shelf. This allows for an installation situation in which the shelf can be pulled out relative to the support structure.
[0009] In this description, the term "front side" refers in particular to the side of the shelf from which goods are to be removed and / or which forms the side for displaying goods. In this description, the term "horizontal" refers in particular to an extension, for example, of a plane or line that runs at right angles or essentially at right angles to the vertical direction, i.e., horizontal or essentially horizontal. In this description, the term "vertical" refers in particular to an extension, for example, of a plane or line that runs in the vertical direction, i.e., perpendicular or essentially perpendicular.
[0010] It is provided that the pull-out device comprises a linear guide arranged on the respective side section. It is further provided that the linear guide has at least two linear guide elements that can be displaced relative to one another, of which one linear guide element is fastened to the associated side section and the at least two coupling points are assigned to the other linear guide element. This facilitates a technically simple implementation of the pull-out function of the shelf. The measure that, according to one embodiment, the linear guide is a rail guide also aims in this direction. In this case, the linear guide elements can preferably each be designed as a rail element.
[0011] The linear guide can be a telescopic linear guide, in particular a telescopic rail guide. This provides a measure to enable the shelf to be extended relative to the support structure over a relatively long distance, for example, to access the entire surface of the shelf as well as possible and thus facilitate filling the shelf with goods. The telescopic linear guide or telescopic rail guide can be designed as a rolling or sliding guide. If a telescopic rail guide is used, in addition to an outer rail and an inner rail, at least one intermediate middle rail can be provided, which are coupled to one another, for example, via rolling elements and mounted so that they can move relative to one another.
[0012] According to one concept, the shelf can include a locking device designed to secure the shelf against being pulled out of the support structure when it is in a retracted position. The locking device provides a measure to prevent the shelf from being pulled out accidentally.
[0013] In a further embodiment, the shelf comprises a frame structure having a front frame part, a rear frame part, and two lateral frame parts connecting the front frame part and the rear frame part to form a frame interior. It is particularly provided that the front frame part is assigned to the front side of the shelf, and the rear frame part is assigned to the rear side of the shelf. It is also particularly provided that the respective side section of the shelf is formed or arranged on one of the lateral frame parts. This facilitates a modular design of the shelf.
[0014] For example, the front frame part and the rear frame part can form a module, which is, for example, a common part. Likewise, the side frame parts can form a module, which is, for example, a common part. For example, the side frame parts are formed by a plate-shaped component, in particular a sheet metal part. Another module can be formed by a goods support having a support surface for goods, wherein the goods support can be formed by a single component or several or a plurality of components.
[0015] The front frame part and / or the rear frame part can be a shelf element as described in WO 2016 / 008476 A1. The shelf element has an elongated base body and a material section arranged on the base body, forming a plug-in receptacle for a functional part and / or an information carrier, open toward a longitudinal side of the base body. For example, the shelf element is an extruded part, and the plug-in receptacle is formed by extrusion.
[0016] For example, the shelf element has a plurality of elongated through-openings on its base body, the longitudinal extent of which runs transversely to the longitudinal extent of the base body. For example, the through-openings are arranged substantially parallel to one another and, in particular, one behind the other in a row. For example, the base body is U-shaped in cross-section, and the through-openings extend into one of the legs and into an intermediate section of the base body connecting the legs of the U-shape. Product dividers can be attached to the through-openings, for example by inserting one end of a product divider, in particular a plate-shaped end, into one of the through-openings.
[0017] The at least one lateral frame part can be a side part, as described in WO 2016 / 008476 A1. The side part is, for example, attached to the shelf element by at least one connecting means, which engages, in particular is screwed, into at least one cavity or receptacle of the shelf element. For this purpose, the side part has at least one through-opening.
[0018] Further details and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of several embodiments with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 a possible embodiment of a pull-out shelf in perspective view from below, Fig. 2 the shelf according to the Figure 1 in a top view, Fig. 3 the shelf of the Figure 1 in a side view, with a support plane of the shelf in a forwardly inclined orientation, Fig. 4 the shelf according to the Figure 1in a side view, with the support surface in a horizontal position, Fig. 5 the shelf of the Figure 1 , mounted on a supporting structure, in an inserted position as a side view in a partial section, Fig. 6 the shelf of the Figure 1 in the arrangement of the Figure 5 , wherein the shelf is in an extended position, Fig. 7 a linear guide element of a pull-out device for the shelf of the Fig. 1 with hanging tabs in a side view, Fig. 8an additional linear guide element of the pull-out device for the shelf of the Fig. 1 with fastening elements in a side view, Fig. 9a linear guide for the shelf of the Fig. 1 in a front view, Fig. 10 a vertical support as part of a support structure for the shelf according to the Figure 1 in perspective view and Fig. 11 another vertical support as part of a support structure for the shelf according to the Figure 1 in perspective view.
[0019] Figure 1 shows a possible embodiment of a shelf 1 in a perspective view. Figures 2 and 3 show the shelf 1 in a top view ( Figure 2 ) and in a side view ( Figure 3 ). As can be seen, the shelf 1 comprises a top side 2, a bottom side 3, a front side 4, a back side 5 and two opposite side walls 6, 7. The top side 2 forms a (in the Figure 3 (shown as an example in dashed lines) level 8 for goods.
[0020] The shelf 1 can comprise a frame structure. The frame structure then preferably has a front frame part 17, a rear frame part 18, and two lateral frame parts 19, 20 connecting the front frame part 17 and the rear frame part 18 to form a frame interior 21. In this case, the front frame part 17 is preferably assigned to the front side 4 and the rear frame part 18 to the rear side 5 of the shelf 1. Furthermore, the respective side section 6 or 7 of the shelf 1 is preferably arranged or formed on one of the lateral frame parts 19, 20. The front frame part 17 and the rear frame part 18 can be identical parts. For example, the front frame part 17 and / or the rear frame part 18 is U-shaped in cross-section and is connected to the lateral frame parts 19, 20, for example by means of connecting means, in particular screw elements 22.The lateral frame parts 19, 20 can each be plate-shaped, for example sheet metal parts.
[0021] Furthermore, the shelf 1 includes a (in the Figures 1 to 3 The shelf 1 is provided with a pull-out device 9 (indicated by dashed lines) by means of which the shelf 1 can be pulled out relative to a support structure. A possible embodiment of such a support structure is shown in Figure 2 indicated and provided with the reference number 100.
[0022] The extension device 9 is configured such that the shelf 1 executes or can execute a linear or substantially linear extension movement that is inclined relative to its upper side 2 by an angle of inclination α. In the present description, the term "linear extension movement" refers in particular to a rectilinear or substantially rectilinear movement that is or can be executed by the shelf 1, for example, to move the shelf 1 away from the support structure 100.
[0023] The pull-out device 9 allows two aspects to be realized: firstly, the shelf 1 is extendable, and secondly, it can be designed as a so-called sliding floor. The sliding floor is achieved, for example, when the support level 8, and thus a support surface 8.1 located in the support level 8, is inclined relative to a horizontal in such a way that it at least promotes or even causes goods placed on the support surface 8.1 to slide down. In this way, it is promoted or caused that the goods slide towards the lower front side 4 of the shelf 1. Preferably, the front side 4 is the removal side for the goods. As a result of the sliding, goods are continuously located in the removal area, thus promoting the presentation of goods in this area. For this purpose, the support surface 8 preferably has1 has a slip-promoting material and / or is coated with such a material.
[0024] The extension device 9 ensures that the shelf 1 can be extended relative to the support structure 100 while maintaining the inclined position of the support plane 8. The extension movement can take place in such a way that it runs horizontally or essentially linearly in a horizontal direction, so that the extended shelf 1 can be pushed back with relatively little effort. Pushing back from a lower position to an upper position, i.e., against the effect of gravity, can be avoided in this way.
[0025] The extension device 9 comprises a linear guide 10, such as a rail guide, arranged on the respective side section 6 or 7. The linear guide 10 preferably protrudes laterally outward from the associated side section 6 or 7.
[0026] As can be seen in particular from the Figure 3 As can be seen, the shelf 1 can have an adjusting device 13. The adjusting device 13 is used to adjust the angle of inclination α. This is possible in steps with the adjusting device 13, but can in principle also be implemented continuously. For example, the adjusting device 13 comprises a plurality of fastening points 14 arranged on the respective side section 6 or 7 in order to be able to fasten the linear guide 10 thereto. For example, the fastening points 14 are designed as a through-opening, in particular a through-bore, so that the linear guide 10 can be fastened thereto, for example by means of one or at least two screw elements or other fastening elements 11 and / or corresponding counter-elements 11', such as a nut element.
[0027] Preferably, the fastening points 14 comprise at least two first fastening points 14.1, 14.2 and at least two second fastening points 14.3, 14.4, wherein the at least two first fastening points 14.1, 14.2 are arranged at a distance from one another and the at least two second fastening points 14.3, 14.4 are also arranged at a distance from one another. The adjusting device 13 is now formed in that a first straight line 12.1 connecting the at least two first fastening points 14.1, 14.2 runs obliquely relative to the upper side 2 of the shelf 1 by a first value W1 of the angle of inclination α, and a second straight line 12.2 connecting the at least two second fastening points 14.3, 14.4 runs obliquely relative to the upper side 2 of the shelf 1 by a second value W2 of the angle of inclination α. Figure 3the linear guide 10 is mounted on the at least two first fastening points 14.1, 14.2, so that the extension device 9 is set to the first value W1 for the inclination angle α.
[0028] The adjusting device 13 can comprise a setting in which the support plane 8 has no or substantially no inclination. For this purpose, the fastening points 14 can have at least two third fastening points 14.5, 14.6, which are arranged at a distance from one another and are aligned parallel or substantially parallel to the support plane 8. Figure 4 shows the shelf 1 in a side view, where the linear guide 10 is mounted at at least two third fastening points 14.5, 14.6.
[0029] Preferably, one of the first fastening points 14.1, 14.2, in particular the first fastening point 14.1, and one of the second fastening points 14.3, 14.4, in particular the second fastening point 14.3, face the front side 4, and the other of the first fastening points 14.1, 14.2, in particular the first fastening point 14.2, and the other of the second fastening points 14.3, 14.4, in particular the second fastening point 14.4, face the rear side 5 of the shelf 1. Preferably, the first fastening point 14.1 and the second fastening point 14.3 facing the front side 4 are formed by a common fastening point. Preferably, the third fastening point 14.5 facing the front side 4 is also formed by the common fastening point.
[0030] Figure 5shows the shelf 1 in a mounted state on the support structure 100, which is indicated there by dashed lines. Figure 5 the shelf 1 is in a pushed-in position E on the supporting structure 100. Figure 6 shows the shelf 1 in the installed state of the Figure 5 , where in the Figure 6 the shelf 1 is in an extended position A relative to the support structure 100. In order to be able to move the shelf 1 from the inserted position E into the extended position A, the shelf 1 is fastened to the support structure 100 via the pull-out device 9 or its linear guide 10. Preferably, the linear guide 10 provided on the respective side section 6 or 7 is fastened to the support structure 100.
[0031] For example, the retracted position E is a position of the shelf 1 relative to the support structure 100 in which the shelf 1 is permanently located, for example, in order to store and / or display goods on its support surface 8.1. For example, the shelf 1 is locked in the retracted position E. For this purpose, a locking device can be provided on the shelf 1 and / or the support structure 100. In the present description, the "extended position" is understood in particular to mean a position which the shelf 1 has relative to the support structure 100 after the shelf 1 has been extended by means of its extension device 9 and has assumed a final or intermediate position.
[0032] The Figures 5 and 6show the linear guide 10, which comprises two linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3. The linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3 are displaceable relative to one another, in particular, they are linearly guided relative to one another, in order to be able to execute the linear extension movement. For example, the linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3 are each elongated, with their longitudinal axes 10.4, 10.5 lying on a common axis, so that the relative movement of the linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3 to one another takes place by a displacement on the common axis. Preferably, the longitudinal axes 10.4, 10.5 are arranged horizontally or substantially horizontally, so that the linear extension movement is correspondingly horizontal or substantially horizontal.
[0033] One of the linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3, in particular the linear guide element 10.2, is fastened to the associated side section 6 or 7. Preferably, the fastening elements 11 and / or counter-elements 11' already described above are used for this purpose, which are provided, for example, in the Figures 1 to 4 are shown. For example, the other of the linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3, in particular the linear guide element 10.3, is attached to the support structure 100.
[0034] The support structure 100 can comprise several, preferably four, vertical supports 140.1, 140.2, 140.3, 140.4, which can be part of a shelving system. For example, two of the vertical supports 140.1, 140.2, 140.3, 140.4 are each assigned to one of the side sections 6, 7 of the shelf 1. For example, one of the linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3, in particular the linear guide element 10.3, is arranged on the two associated vertical supports 140.1, 140.2 or 140.3, 140.4.
[0035] Figures 7 and 8show the linear guide elements 10.2 and 10.3. At least two coupling points 15, 16 are provided on the linear guide element 10.3, which is configured to be attached to the support structure 100. The coupling points 15, 16 are preferably arranged at a distance from the longitudinal axis 10.5 of the linear guide element 10.3. For example, the coupling points 15, 16 are each arranged in an end region relative to the longitudinal axis 10.5 of the linear guide element 10.3.
[0036] The at least two coupling points 15, 16 each comprise a suspension tab 23, 24. For example, the suspension tabs 23, 24 are attached to the linear guide element 10.3, in particular welded or molded thereto. The suspension tabs 23, 24 have one end that is attached or molded onto the linear guide element 10.3, and a tab section that can be used as an insertion section 25 or 26, respectively, in order to be able to suspend and / or insert the linear guide element 10.3 into a corresponding receptacle of the support structure 100 via the suspension tab 23 or 24. For example, the insertion section 25 or 26 is formed by a material section which projects beyond the outer side of the linear guide element 10.3 and overlaps the outer side of the linear guide element 10.3 at least over one area in order to form the suspension tab 25 or 26 in this way.
[0037] It is provided that the insertion section 26 of the hanging tab 24, which faces the rear side 5 of the shelf 1, points in the direction of the rear side 5 of the shelf 1. It is further provided that the insertion section 25 of the hanging tab 23, which faces the front side 4 of the shelf 1, points downwards, i.e. towards the underside 3 of the shelf 1. As a result, the shelf 1 can be fastened to the support structure 100 by a first insertion movement directed towards the rear side 5 and a subsequent downward second insertion movement. As a result of the first insertion movement, the hanging tab 24 facing the rear side 5 is pushed into a corresponding receptacle on the support structure 100, with the first insertion movement taking place in the direction of the longitudinal axis 10.5 towards the rear side 5 of the shelf 1.By the second insertion movement, the suspension tab 23 facing the front side 4 is inserted into the corresponding receptacle of the support structure 100, in that the second insertion movement is directed downwards.
[0038] The Figure 8 shows the linear guide element 10.2 with the counter elements 11' already described above for fastening against the respective side section 6 or 7 ( Figures 1 and 2 ). For example, the counter element 11' is formed by a weld nut or a press-in nut, which is fastened to the associated side section 6 or 7. The counter elements 11' are preferably arranged at a distance from the longitudinal axis 10.4 of the linear guide element 10.2.
[0039] Figure 9shows a possible embodiment of the linear guide 10. The linear guide 10 is a telescopic linear guide, for example a telescopic rail guide. For example, the linear guide element 10.2 is an inner rail and the linear guide element 10.3 is an outer rail surrounding the inner rail. In addition, at least one further linear guide element 10.6, in particular a rail element, can be provided, which is arranged, for example, between the outer rail and the inner rail and thus forms a middle rail. The linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3 and 10.6 can be coupled to one another by rolling elements 27, so that a telescopic extension of the linear guide elements 10.2, 10.3 and 10.6 relative to one another is promoted by the rolling elements 27. The linear guide 10 according to the Figure 9 may have the coupling points 15 and 16 described above and / or the fastening elements or counter-elements 11' described above.
[0040] Figure 10 shows a possible embodiment of a vertical support as a component of the support structure 100 for the shelf 1. Such a vertical support can be assigned twice to the respective side section 6 or 7 of the shelf 1. By way of example, Figure 10 The two vertical supports assigned to side section 6 are shown and provided with the reference numerals 140.1`, 140.2`. The vertical supports 140.1` and 140.2` can be identical to one another. For the sake of simplicity, reference is made below only to one of the two vertical supports, namely vertical support 140.1`. The vertical support 140.1` is elongated and extends with its longitudinal extent in the vertical direction when the vertical support 140.1' is in the installed state, for example, on a shelving system.
[0041] Preferably, the vertical support 140.1' has at least one, preferably several or a plurality of counter-coupling points 110 in order to couple the pull-out device 9 or linear guide 10 of the shelf 1 to it via their coupling points 15, 16. For example, the counter-coupling points 110 are designed as a receptacle 130 for the suspension tabs 23 or 24, which in connection with the embodiment of the linear guide 10 to the Figure 7 described. For example, the receptacles 130 are formed as angular, in particular square or rectangular, inlet openings into which the suspension tabs 25 and 26 can be inserted or suspended. Preferably, the counter-coupling points 110 are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the vertical support 140.1', in particular arranged one behind the other in a row.
[0042] The vertical support 140.1' is, for example, a profiled part and can be U-shaped in cross-section and have two legs 142, 143, which are connected to one another by an intermediate section 144. The counter-coupling points 110 are preferably formed on the intermediate section 144. The vertical support 140.1' can have a flange section 145 pointing outward laterally from the legs 142, 143, which, for example, adjoins the end of the respective leg 142 or 143. The respective flange section 144 can have at least one connection point 146 for fastening the vertical support 140.1' to a counter-support and / or a wall.
[0043] In the Figure 10The shelf 1 is indicated by dashed lines, with the side section 6 being shown. Arrow 50 indicates the first insertion movement, and arrow 51 indicates the second insertion movement, in order to fasten the linear guide 10 to the support structure 100 or the vertical supports 140.1' and 140.2', as described above.
[0044] Figure 11 shows a further embodiment of a vertical support 140.1" or 140.2'', which is shown twice there. The vertical support 140.1" or 140.2" can correspond to the vertical support 140.1` or 140.2".
[0045] In contrast to the vertical support 140.1` or 140.2` of the Figure 10 The vertical support is 140.1" or 140.2" of the Figure 11in its contour to be attached to another vertical support 141.1 or 141.2, overlapping with its contour. For example, the other vertical support 141.1 or 141.2 can be a shelf support with oblique slots, into which a (in the Figure 11 A shelf (not shown) can be hung without a pull-out device. The design of the vertical supports 140.1" or 140.2" makes it possible to convert a shelving unit with such other vertical supports 140.1 or 140.2 so that the pull-out shelf 1 can be inserted.
