[0002] In workshops, perforated panels are very often used to hang tools, making them easily accessible. A tool can be hung in the perforated panel using a hook or similar mounting element. However, modular mounting systems are also commonly used; these hooks are attached to the perforated panel and serve to secure various tool holders.

[0003] Publication CH 685 612 A5 discloses a wall bracket for containers of different sizes, comprising a sheet metal profile formed into a U-shaped bend with a vertical first leg featuring through holes for screwing it to a wall, a horizontal web projecting forward from the first leg, and a second leg projecting downward from the web for engaging behind an upper, rear edge of the container. The second leg has several recesses along its free edge for receiving upper, lateral edge strips of the container. At the lower edge of the first leg, a first section extending approximately parallel to the first leg is formed via a first step. At the lower edge of this first section, a second section extending approximately parallel to the first leg is formed via a second step. The lower edge of this second section has a bend whose width is approximately equal to the sum of the heights of the two steps.The wall bracket has an L-shaped cranked support rail with a third leg and a fourth leg projecting approximately at right angles from it, the third leg having at least two fastening elements which can be detachably connected to corresponding fastening elements in the first and second sections of the sheet metal.

[0004] The publication EP 3 159 115 B1 discloses a wall-mounted bracket that has at least one fastening structure for attaching a case or a storage container. The wall bracket is rotatable, in particular rotatable by 90°, for alternative fastening of the storage container with further coupling structures, wherein the wall bracket has a clamping device, in particular a fold in the mounting base, which is designed for clamping the storage container.

[0005] German patent application DE 20 2014 011 041 U1 discloses a tool holder arrangement for a perforated grid plate with at least one tool holder base insert, wherein the tool holder base insert has a plate interface for attaching the tool holder base insert to the perforated grid plate, with a tool holder device for holding at least one tool or tool accessory, wherein the tool holder device has a slide receptacle and the tool holder base insert has a slide section, wherein the tool holder device can be slid onto the at least one tool holder base insert by a sliding movement in a mounting direction which is aligned with a mounting plane, in order to bring the tool holder device and the tool holder base insert into a connected state, wherein the slide section has at least one rail section and the slide receptacle has at least one rail wing section.wherein the at least one rail wing section is guided by the at least one rail section during the sliding movement, wherein in the connected state the at least one rail section positively secures the at least one rail wing section in a direction perpendicular to the mounting plane.

[0006] The invention is based on the objective of proposing a holder arrangement for a mounting structure which is characterized by tool-free, quick assembly with simultaneously high assembly safety.

[0007] This problem is solved by a holder arrangement with the features of claim 1 and an ordering system with the features of claim 12. Preferred or advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the following description and / or the accompanying figures.

[0008] The invention relates to a holder arrangement that is suitable and / or designed for a mounting structure. Functionally, the holder arrangement is designed to hold at least one or exactly one object on the mounting structure. Preferably, the holder arrangement is part of an organization system that serves to organize objects of different sizes and / or functions in separate areas.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting structure is designed as a perforated plate. The perforated plate is preferably designed as a plate body, for example, a sheet metal plate, with a plurality of receiving holes, the receiving holes defining a plate hole grid. Particularly preferably, the plate hole grid is regular, with the grid spacing of the receiving holes being equal in a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction perpendicular to it. Particularly preferably, the perforated plate is a sheet metal plate, with the receiving holes having a size of 9.2 mm x 9.2 mm and a spacing of 38.1 mm. This plate hole grid has become established as a well-known dimension, at least in Germany. Alternatively, the receiving holes can also have, for example, a size of 9 mm x 9 mm and a spacing of 37 mm.

[0010] Alternatively, the mounting structure is designed as a profile rail. In particular, the profile rail is formed by an extruded profile. The profile rail can be supplied as continuous material and cut to the desired length during assembly. Alternatively, the profile rail can also be supplied in different fixed lengths. The profile rail has at least one longitudinally extending receiving groove on one front face. Preferably, the receiving groove has a continuous and / or uninterrupted cross-section.

[0011] The mounting structure defines a mounting plane. Specifically, the mounting plane is defined and / or aligned with the front face of the perforated grid plate or the profile rail. Alternatively, the mounting plane is arranged parallel to the front face of the perforated grid plate or the profile rail.

[0012] The holder assembly includes at least one receiving container designed and / or suitable for holding objects. In principle, the receiving container can hold objects of any kind. Preferably, however, the receiving container is used for holding small parts, such as fasteners, connectors and / or accessories, tools, tool accessories and / or machines.

[0013] The receiving container has at least one wall section that bounds the receiving container. In particular, the wall section is designed as a straight wall section that extends parallel and / or in the same direction as the mounting plane. The at least one receiving container can have a height of at least or exactly 25 mm. Preferably, however, the receiving container optionally has a height of exactly 25 mm or exactly 50 mm, with the wall section being designed accordingly.

[0014] The holder assembly has at least one or exactly one base insert. Preferably, the base insert can be attached directly and / or contactively to the mounting structure. For this purpose, the base insert has a mounting interface that enables mechanical coupling with the mounting structure. In particular, the base insert forms an adapter for attaching the receiving container to the mounting structure. The receiving container and / or the base insert are particularly preferably designed as a single plastic part, especially as a one-piece plastic part, and in particular as an injection-molded plastic part.

[0015] The base insert has a rigid base section with a bearing surface on its rear side for resting the base insert on the mounting structure in a mounting direction, the mounting direction being perpendicular to the mounting plane. Specifically, in the mounted state, the base insert rests with its bearing surface on the front of the mounting structure, in particular the perforated plate or the profile rail.

[0016] The base insert has a mounting interface designed and / or suitable for attaching the base insert to the mounting structure in a longitudinal direction, with the longitudinal direction being aligned with the mounting plane. In particular, the base insert can be positively locked and / or force-locked to the mounting structure via the mounting interface. Specifically, the base insert can be inserted into individual mounting holes of the perforated plate via the mounting interface. For this purpose, the base insert can be attached and / or hooked in from the front. Alternatively, the base insert can be continuously adjusted via the mounting interface into the mounting groove of the profile rail. For this purpose, the base insert can be inserted laterally into the mounting groove and / or attached and / or hooked in from the front.

[0017] Within the scope of the invention, it is proposed that the rigid base body section has a container interface on its front side for attaching the receiving container to the base insert, wherein the wall section forms a complementary counterpart interface to the container interface. In particular, the receiving container can be coupled or connected to the base insert in the assembly direction via the container interface. The receiving container is thus, in particular, indirectly attached to the assembly structure via the at least one base insert. It is especially preferred that the container interface and the counterpart interface be detachably coupled or connected to each other.

[0018] One aspect of the invention is to propose a base insert characterized by a simple and stable connection for receiving containers. Because the wall section forms the interface opposite the container interface, the receiving container can be designed to be particularly simple and cost-effective. Furthermore, mounting the receiving container on the front of the base insert, or in the direction of assembly, allows for easy and accessible installation, enabling the receiving container to be mounted or dismounted from the front at any time without significant effort.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the receiving container can be connected to the container interface by a combined insertion and tilting motion, thus bringing the receiving container and the base insert into a connected state. For this purpose, the receiving container can first be inserted longitudinally or counter-clockwise onto the at least one base insert up to a first end stop and then tilted in the assembly direction up to a second end stop. In the state where the receiving container is fully inserted into the container interface, particularly up to the first and second end stops, the receiving container and the base insert are connected. Particularly preferably, the mating interface engages with the container interface after the tilting motion or upon reaching the second end stop, so that the receiving container is held securely on the base insert.A holder arrangement is therefore proposed which is characterized by a particularly simple and easy-to-use mounting movement.

[0020] According to the invention, the container interface comprises at least one positive-locking contour, at least one snap-fit ​​contour, and a support surface for supporting the receiving container against the base insert in the assembly direction. In particular, the at least one positive-locking contour and the at least one snap-fit ​​contour are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, the positive-locking contour and the snap-fit ​​contour are spaced apart from each other by a distance greater than or equal to the longitudinal extent of the wall section. In particular, the support surface extends completely or partially across the area between the positive-locking contour and the snap-fit ​​contour. The support surface preferably extends parallel to or in the same direction as the assembly plane on the front of the base body.In particular, the wall section has a wall surface which rests on or is supported by the support surface during assembly, so that the wall surface is aligned with the support surface and / or the mounting plane.

[0021] According to this embodiment, the positive locking contour and the locking contour project beyond the support surface in the opposite direction of assembly, so that the wall section is positively locked in the assembly direction and / or the longitudinal direction by the positive locking contour and the locking contour at the container interface. Preferably, the combination of positive locking contour and locking contour forms a snap connection which positively locks the receiving container, in particular its wall section. This positive locking ensures that movement of the receiving container is prevented at least in one direction perpendicular to the assembly plane, and thus perpendicular, substantially perpendicular, or at an angle to the surface extent of the assembly structure.

[0022] In a further development, the positive-locking contour is provided with a first leg section extending in the assembly direction and a second leg section extending longitudinally. In particular, the first and second leg sections are arranged at right angles to each other and / or in an L-shape. The first leg section provides a contact surface for an edge region of the wall section opposite the longitudinal direction. Specifically, the wall section with its edge region is positively locked to the contact surface opposite the longitudinal direction in the connected state. Preferably, the first leg section, in particular the contact surface, forms the first end stop, and the support surface forms the second end stop for the receiving container. The second leg section engages behind the edge region in the longitudinal direction.In particular, in the connected state, the wall section is thus arranged in a form-fitting manner between the support surface and the second leg section in the assembly direction. A form-fitting contour is therefore proposed which allows for easy assembly of the receiving container and at the same time reliably secures the receiving container in the connected state.

[0023] In a further specific implementation, the locking contour is elastically deflectable relative to the base body section. Specifically, during the tilting movement of the receiving container, the locking contour is elastically deflected by the wall section and subsequently engages detachably with the wall section. Preferably, the locking contour is movable in the longitudinal direction between a locking position and an unlocking position. To deactivate the locking contour, it is deflected relative to the base body section into the unlocking position. To activate the locking contour, it is preferably provided that the locking contour returns automatically and / or elastically to the locking position. Preferably, the locking contour is formed by at least or exactly one snap hook. The locking contour provides an additional contact surface in the longitudinal direction for a further edge region of the wall section.In particular, one edge region is defined as a lower edge and the other edge region as an upper edge of the wall section. In the connected state, the wall section with its further edge region is positively engaged against the further contact surface in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, in the connected state, the wall section is positively engaged between the two contact surfaces, so that the wall section is positively secured in the longitudinal direction.

[0024] According to this design, the locking contour engages the outer edge area in the opposite direction to secure it positively against the assembly direction. Preferably, the wall section is positively engaged between the support surface, the positive locking contour, and the locking contour in the connected state, so that the wall section is positively secured in the assembly direction. During assembly, the receiving container with the wall section is inserted between the support surface and the second leg section by means of a plugging motion until the edge area rests against the support surface, and then tilted against the support surface by means of a tilting motion until the locking contour engages with the wall area. The locking contour thus ensures that the receiving container cannot be accidentally disassembled by a slight movement against the assembly direction.Furthermore, this advanced training ensures that the receiving container is held in a form-fitting manner by the form-fitting contour and is detachably secured to the base insert together with the locking contour.

[0025] In a further embodiment, the receiving container and the base insert are designed to be displaceable relative to each other in a transverse direction, perpendicular to both the mounting and longitudinal directions, when assembled. Specifically, the transverse, longitudinal, and mounting directions are defined as three mutually perpendicular direction vectors. The wall surface of the wall section forms a sliding surface, and the support surface forms a counter-sliding surface, with these two surfaces aligned in the same direction and / or parallel to the mounting plane. This design ensures that the receiving container can be slidably displaced in the transverse direction on the base insert while simultaneously being positively locked in both the longitudinal and mounting directions by the positive locking contour and the snap-fit ​​contour.

[0026] In a further specification, the mounting structure is provided for with one or more receiving openings. In particular, the at least one receiving opening is designed as a receiving hole for the perforated grid plate or the receiving groove for the profile rail. The mounting interface has at least one hook device, wherein the hook device projects beyond the mounting surface in the mounting direction, in particular perpendicular to the mounting surface, so that the hook device extends through the receiving opening in the mounted state of the base insert. The at least one hook device, some or all of the hook devices are arranged relative to the mounting surface such that the hook device(s) can extend through the at least one receiving opening in the mounted state of the base insert and project on the opposite side.

[0027] A closer look at the hook assembly reveals that it comprises a hook leg and a hook head, with the hook head positioned on the hook leg. Specifically, the longitudinal extent of the hook head is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the hook leg. In a side view, these form an inverted L-shaped hook. Together, the hook leg and hook head create a receiving area for a section of the mounting structure, with the hook assembly thus encompassing this section. The base insert can be supported longitudinally on the mounting structure via the hook leg. If, for example, the mounting structure is a vertically arranged perforated plate, the longitudinal direction is from top to bottom, so that the hook assembly is open downwards and / or longitudinally.The hook assembly rests with the hook leg in the longitudinal direction on the mounting structure and overlaps the mounting structure in the longitudinal direction with the hook head, so that the mounting structure or the section between the hook head and the support surface is arranged.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the at least one hook assembly is arranged on the rear side of the support surface and longitudinally between the positive locking contour and the detent contour of the base body section, so that any tensile and / or compressive forces occurring when a load acts on the receiving container are transmitted directly to the at least one hook assembly via the support surface. Preferably, the base body section has at least two hook assemblies, with the two hook assemblies arranged at a distance from each other on the rear side of the support surface. The hook assemblies can be arranged parallel to each other longitudinally and / or spaced apart transversely. Preferably, the hook assemblies are arranged centrally on the support surface and / or centrally between the positive locking contour and the detent contour, particularly when viewed longitudinally.This allows for an even distribution of the loads across the two hook assemblies. Specifically, the base unit, particularly the main body section, features exactly four hook assemblies, with at least two of these four hook assemblies located at the rear of the support surface. Thus, a base unit is proposed that is characterized by a particularly stable mounting and optimized load distribution of the receiving container.

[0029] In a further design embodiment, the base insert is provided with a locking section comprising at least one locking device. In the assembled state of the base insert, the locking device is positioned within the at least one receiving opening and secures the base insert against displacement. Specifically, the locking device is arranged on the base insert such that it engages in or extends through the receiving opening. The locking device can be designed as a web section, with one end of the web section being able to positively engage the mounting structure against the longitudinal direction. Thus, in the assembled state, the base insert is positively secured longitudinally by the hook leg and against the longitudinal direction by the locking device.

[0030] According to this design, the base body section and the locking section are arranged to be movable relative to each other, so that the locking device can be elastically deflected relative to the hook assembly for mounting or dismounting the base insert. In particular, the base body section and the locking section are pivotally connected to each other, allowing the locking section to pivot away from the base body section, especially against the mounting direction. Specifically, the locking section is designed as a U-shaped locking bracket that at least partially surrounds the base body section and is pivotally connected to it at its free ends.For example, to remove the base insert, the locking bracket can be pulled, thereby deflecting the locking section and thus the locking device against the mounting direction and deactivating it, allowing the base insert to be removed. Specifically, the locking device and one of the hook devices are located together in the mounting opening when the base insert is mounted. Alternatively, or additionally, the locking device and the hook device are positioned in a common mounting hole for the perforated plate, or together in the mounting groove for the profile rail.

[0031] It is particularly preferred that the base body section is T-shaped, with the upright T-leg arranged between the U-shaped legs of the locking bracket. Depending on the size of the receiving container, the locking contour can be integrated either into the upright T-leg or the transverse T-leg. Accordingly, depending on the dimensions of the receiving container, a section of the upright or transverse T-leg can be designed as a first operating area, with assembly being effected by applying pressure to the first operating area. At least one hook device, the support surface, and the positive locking contour are formed at least on the transverse T-leg. Preferably, the support surface and / or the positive locking contour extend largely or completely along the transverse T-leg in the longitudinal direction.Alternatively or optionally, the locking contour is formed on the transverse T-leg of the base body section if required by the design of the receiving container. By positioning the container interface on the transverse T-leg, the entire width of the base body section can be utilized to distribute the loads acting on the base insert over the largest possible area.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the receiving container is designed as an open container. The receiving container can, for example, be a sight glass container, a trough, or a box open at the top. The receiving space of the container is accessible via a receiving opening, preferably permanently. In particular, the receiving container has four wall sections, each of which is identical in design and thus, in principle, suitable as a mating interface to the container interface. In the connected state, the form-fitting contour engages section by section in the longitudinal direction via the receiving opening into the receiving space to hold the receiving container securely against the direction of assembly. Particularly preferably, the second leg section projects beyond the receiving opening into the receiving space and thus rests against the receiving container, especially the wall section, within the receiving space.A receiving container is therefore proposed which can be easily mounted to the base unit and is easily accessible in the connected state.

[0033] In a further specific implementation, the receiving container has at least one partition wall, which is designed and / or suitable for dividing the receiving space into at least two separate partial receiving spaces. For example, the partition wall can be a permanently installed component, such as one molded using injection molding. Alternatively, the partition wall can be a separate component that can be subsequently inserted into the receiving space. The interlocking contour has a recess open in the longitudinal direction, with the partition wall being partially received in the recess during the connection state. In particular, the recess serves to center the receiving container relative to the base insert via the partition wall.In particular, the partition wall is positively engaged in the recess in the transverse direction, so that the receiving container is mounted in a fixed and / or central position on the base insert and / or secured against displacement. A mounting arrangement is thus proposed which is characterized by precise and / or central mounting of the receiving container on the base insert.

[0034] A further aspect of the invention relates to an organization system comprising the mounting structure, at least one of the base inserts, and at least one receiving container, as previously described, wherein the receiving container is attached to the mounting structure via the base insert. The organization system can be designed and / or suitable, for example, for a service vehicle, a workshop, a tool trolley, or a workbench. In this embodiment, the form-fitting contour on an upper side of the receiving container engages in the receiving space, and the locking contour on an underside of the receiving container engages behind the wall section, with the wall section bearing flat against the support surface in the mounting direction. Thus, a base insert is proposed which is characterized by a secure, tilt-proof, and convenient attachment of the receiving container.

[0035] In a further development, it is proposed that the storage system includes at least one additional base insert, with the receiving container being attached to the mounting structure via the base insert and the additional base insert. This configuration makes it possible to create receiving containers that extend across a width in the transverse direction over at least two base inserts, or—if there are gaps between the base inserts—over a greater width. Furthermore, attaching the receiving container via multiple base inserts allows for better distribution of the container's high loads across the mounting structure, resulting in a particularly stable mounting arrangement.

[0036] In an alternative or optionally supplementary version, the holder assembly is provided with several structurally different receiving containers and several base inserts, which can be connected to the receiving containers. In particular, the receiving containers can have different structural and / or functional designs, with the majority of the base inserts being identical or of the same design. Specifically, a set of corresponding base inserts is provided for each of the different receiving container heights. This set of receiving devices and base inserts makes it possible to configure and customize the assembly structure as desired. In particular, the base inserts allow for the formation of rows and columns and the arrangement of the receiving containers in any desired way, especially in a visually ordered manner.

[0037] Further features, advantages, and effects of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention. These include: Figure 1 shows a schematic three-dimensional representation of an organization system with a holder arrangement as a first embodiment of the invention; Figure 2 shows a schematic three-dimensional representation of a basic insert of the holder arrangement made of Figure 1 in a front view; Figure 3 a schematic three-dimensional representation of the basic insert of the holder arrangement made of Figure 1 in a rear view; Figure 4 a schematic sectional view of the ordering system according to Figure 1 Figure 5 shows a schematic three-dimensional representation of the ordering system with an alternative embodiment of the holder arrangement as a second embodiment of the invention; Figure 6 shows a schematic three-dimensional representation of a basic insert of the holder arrangement made of Figure 5in a front view; Figure 7 a schematic three-dimensional representation of the ordering system with an alternative embodiment of the holder arrangement as a third embodiment of the invention; Figure 8 a schematic three-dimensional representation of the ordering system with an alternative embodiment of the holder arrangement as a fourth embodiment of the invention;

[0038] Corresponding or identical parts are each provided with the same reference symbols in the figures.

[0039] The Figure 1 Figure 1 shows a schematic three-dimensional representation of an organization system 1 with a holder arrangement 2 as a first embodiment of the invention. The organization system 1 can be designed, for example, for vehicle equipment in a workshop, e.g., a workshop trolley, or for a service vehicle.

[0040] The ordering system 1 comprises a mounting structure 3, which in the illustrated embodiment is designed as a perforated plate. For this purpose, the mounting structure is designed as a plate body, in particular as a sheet metal plate, specifically as a metal sheet, and has a plurality of receiving openings 4, in particular receiving holes. The receiving openings 4 are square in plan view and have, for example, a size of 9.2 mm x 9.2 mm. The receiving openings 4 are evenly distributed in a grid, i.e., at equal intervals, with the distance between each receiving opening 4 being 38.1 mm. The plate body has, for example, a thickness of less than 2 mm.

[0041] The holder assembly 2 comprises a base insert 5 and a receiving container 6, which is arranged on the mounting structure 3 via the base insert 5 and is rigidly connected to it. The mounting structure 3 defines a mounting plane ME, which is aligned with or parallel to the front of the mounting structure 3. The base insert 5 is mounted on the front of the mounting structure 3 via the receiving openings 4, with the receiving container 6 in turn being attached via the base insert 5. The base insert 5 is rectangular to square in the front view, and is dimensioned such that another base insert can be mounted directly next to the base insert 5 in the adjacent receiving openings 4 without gaps between rows or columns.

[0042] The receiving container 6 is designed to hold one or more objects, such as tools and small parts like screws, nuts, workpieces, etc., in an organized manner. The receiving container 6 has four wall sections 7a, b, c, d, which define a receiving chamber 8 within the receiving container 6. The receiving chamber 8 is open at the top via a receiving opening 9, allowing one or more objects to be placed in or removed through the receiving opening 9. For example, the receiving container 6 is designed as a trough.

[0043] Figure 2Figure 1 shows the base insert 5 in a perspective view from the front. The base insert 5 is designed as a one-piece injection-molded plastic part and can be divided into two different sections for functional purposes. One basic body section 10 is T-shaped in the front view, with the transverse leg of the T extending in a longitudinal direction L to approximately 50 percent of the total length of the base insert 5.

[0044] Furthermore, the base insert 5 has a locking section 11, which is U-shaped. The U-shaped locking section 11 is open towards the base body section 10 and encompasses the upright T-leg of the base body section 10. In particular, the locking section 11 forms a locking bar. The free ends of the U-shaped locking section 11 are integrally formed on the transverse T-leg of the base body section 5, whereby the locking section 11 can be pivoted relative to the base body section 10 about a pivot axis S. The pivot axis S is parallel to the mounting plane ME, as shown in Figure 1 shown, aligned and is also located in the middle of the base insert 5 with respect to the longitudinal extent L.

[0045] The basic insert 5 has a container interface 12 on its front for the receiving container 6, as shown in Figure 1The container 6 is shown, with one of its wall sections 7a, b, c, d forming a mating interface to the container interface 12. The container interface 12 serves for the positive-locking reception of the corresponding wall section 7a in the longitudinal direction L and in a mounting direction M, which is perpendicular to the mounting plane ME.

[0046] For this purpose, the container interface 12 has a positive locking contour 13, a locking contour 14, and a support surface 15, which are in operative connection with one of the wall sections 7a, b, c, d in a connected state. The positive locking contour 13 is designed as a rigid contour and the locking contour 14 as an elastically deflectable contour, which are integrally formed or integrated into the base body section 10. The positive locking contour 13 and the locking contour 14 serve to positively lock the receiving container 6 against the assembly direction M, whereby, in the connected state, the receiving container 6 is encompassed on both sides in the longitudinal direction L by the positive locking contour 13 and the locking contour 14.

[0047] The support surface 15 is arranged on the transverse T-leg and serves to support the receiving container 6 in the assembly direction M. The support surface 15 extends largely over the entire transverse T-leg in the longitudinal direction L and in the transverse direction Q, providing a flat surface for the corresponding wall section 7a, which extends parallel or in the same direction as the assembly plane ME. The support surface 15 is offset from the remaining part of the base body section 10 in the assembly direction M, with one wall section 7a being positively engaged in the offset area, at least in the longitudinal direction L, when connected.

[0048] The area of ​​the base body section 10 encompassed by the locking section 11 forms a first operating area 16a, which has a knurled surface or other friction-enhancing structure for easy identification by the user. When assembling the base insert 5, the user presses on the first operating area 16a.

[0049] Figure 3 Figure 1 shows the base insert in a perspective view from the rear. The base insert 5 has a mounting interface 17 on its rear side for the mounting structure 3, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 The mounting structure 3, with its front face and receiving openings 4, forms a mating interface to the mounting interface 17. The mounting interface 17 serves to positively lock the base insert 5 to the mounting structure 3 in the longitudinal direction L, the mounting direction M, and the transverse direction Q.

[0050] For this purpose, the mounting interface 17 has four hook devices 18a, b, c, d, a support surface 19, and two locking devices 20a, b, which, in a mounted state of the base insert 5, are operatively connected to the mounting structure 3 or the receiving openings. The hook devices 18a, b, c, d are integrally formed on the base body section 10 and extend perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the support surface 19. The hook devices 18a, b, c, d are arranged in a 2x2 matrix corresponding to the grid spacing of the perforated plate. The upper row of hook devices 18a, b is arranged behind the support surface 15 in such a way as to ensure optimal force distribution on the mounting structure 3. Preferably, the two upper hook devices 18a, b are arranged in the longitudinal direction L centrally to the support surface 15 and / or centrally between the positive locking contour 13 and the locking contour 14.

[0051] The hook devices 18a, b, c, d each have a receiving area 21 into which a section, in particular a plate edge area, of the mounting structure 3, designed as a perforated grid plate, can be inserted. To form the receiving areas 21, the hook devices 18a, b, c, d are L-shaped when viewed from the side. In the assembled state, the plate edge area is positively engaged in the receiving area 21 opposite the longitudinal direction L and opposite the assembly direction M, thereby holding the base insert 5 to the mounting structure 3.

[0052] In the assembled state, the base insert 5, in particular the base body section 10, rests with its bearing surface 19 on the front of the assembly structure in a form-fitting and / or planar manner, with the hook devices 18a, b, c, d extending through or hooking into the respective receiving opening 4. The bearing surface 19 is formed by various structures, such as webs, etc., on the base body section 10, so that the base body section 10 defines the bearing surface 19. The bearing surface 19 is aligned parallel to or in the same direction as the assembly plane ME.

[0053] The locking devices 20a, b are each designed as a web section integrally formed with the locking section 11, such that they can be deflected relative to the base body section 10 in the opposite direction to the mounting direction M when the locking section 11 is pivoted about the pivot axis S. The locking devices 20a, b project perpendicularly or approximately perpendicularly in the mounting direction M and are arranged adjacent to the hook devices 18c, d of the lower row, but offset or displaced from them in the longitudinal direction L. By grasping the lower edge of the locking section 11, the locking section 11 can be pivoted about the pivot axis S and deflected relative to the base body section 10. To facilitate grasping, the locking section 11 can have a recess as a second operating area 16b.

[0054] In the Figure 4Figure 1 shows a schematic sectional view of the assembly system 1. In this view, the base insert 5 and the receiving container 6 are in the connected state. When a load is applied to the receiving container 6, compressive or tensile forces are transferred directly via the support surface 15 or via the positive locking contour 13 and / or the locking contour 14 to the upper hook devices 18a, b and then into the mounting structure 3. The rearward arrangement of the hook devices 18a, b in the area of ​​the support surface 15 thus enables a particularly stable mounting of the receiving container 6 on the mounting structure 3.

[0055] The form-fitting contour 13 has a first leg 22a, which is formed perpendicularly or at least approximately perpendicularly to the base body section 10. The first leg 22a forms a contact surface 23a for an upper edge region of the wall section 7a, whereby the wall section 7a, in the connected state, is positively supported and / or can be supported against the contact surface 23a with respect to the upper edge region opposite the longitudinal direction L. Adjoining the first leg 22a in the longitudinal direction L is a second leg 22b, which, in the connected state, engages the receiving space 8 via the receiving opening 9 or engages behind the wall section 7a opposite the assembly direction M.

[0056] The locking contour 14 is elastically arranged on the base body section 10, wherein, when force is applied in the assembly direction M, the locking contour 14 is moved from a locking position to an unlocking position relative to the base body 10 and then automatically returns to the locking position. The locking contour 14 is preferably designed as a snap hook, so that in the connected state, the locking contour 14 forms a snap connection with the wall section 7a. The locking contour 14 also forms a further contact surface 23b for a lower edge region of the wall section 7a, wherein, in the connected state, the wall section 7a is positively supported and / or can be supported in the longitudinal direction L against the further contact surface 23b.In particular, the locking contour 14 has a control ramp 24, the control ramp 24 being arranged on the locking contour 14 in such a way that the lower edge area of ​​the wall section 7a can slide along the control ramp 24 during assembly and the locking contour 14 is controlled into the unlocking position.

[0057] The wall section 7a is thus positively secured in the connection state in the assembly direction M by the support surface 15 and against the assembly direction M by the positive locking contour 13, in particular the second leg section 22b, and the locking contour 14. Furthermore, the wall section 7a is positively secured in the connection state against the longitudinal direction L by the positive locking contour 13, in particular the first leg 22a, and in the longitudinal direction L by the locking contour 14.

[0058] When assembling the base insert 5, the base insert 5 is placed on the front of the mounting structure 3, so that the hook devices 18a, b, c, d each dip into one of the receiving openings 4, with the securing devices 20a, b being supported on the front of the mounting structure 3.

[0059] By applying a load to the first operating area 16a in the assembly direction M, the hook devices 18a, b, c, d are passed further through the receiving openings 4, while at the same time the securing devices 21a, b are deflected relative to the lower row of hook devices 18b, d against the assembly direction M.

[0060] Once the hook devices 18a, b, c, d are immersed deep enough into the receiving openings 4 that the plate edge region can enter the receiving areas 21 of the hook devices 18a, b, c, d, the base insert 5 can be moved in the longitudinal direction L and / or subsequent load direction relative to the mounting structure 3, so that the base insert 5 is moved into a fixed position. In particular, the insertion movement takes place strictly and / or exclusively parallel to the mounting plane ME.

[0061] During the transfer into the fixing position, the locking devices 21a, b slide over the front of the perforated plate, the locking devices 21a, b sliding into the receiving opening 4 of the respective immediately adjacent hook device 18b, d as soon as the locking devices 20a, b, in particular a control chamfer arranged on the web sections, reach the plate edge area of ​​the respective receiving openings 4.

[0062] When the base insert 5 is disassembled, the locking section 11 is pivoted relative to the base body section 10 by pulling on the second operating area 16b in the opposite direction to the assembly direction M, so that the locking devices 20a, b are pulled out of the receiving openings 20a, b. The pulling movement on the second operating area 16b loads the base insert 5 in the opposite direction to the assembly direction M, so that the base insert 5 can be removed from the assembly structure 3 in one complete movement.

[0063] During assembly of the receiving container 6, the receiving container 6 is connected to the container interface 12 by a combination of a insertion movement against the longitudinal direction L and a tilting movement in the assembly direction M. For this purpose, the receiving container 6 is suspended in a slightly tilted position relative to the base insert 5 against the longitudinal direction L in the direction of the form-fitting contour 13, whereby the wall section 7a is inserted against the longitudinal direction L between the support surface 15 and the second leg section 22b until the upper edge region of the wall section 7a comes into contact with the contact surface 23a of the first leg 22a.

[0064] The receiving container 6 is then tilted towards the assembly plane ME into the container interface 12, whereby the wall section 7a remains with its upper edge in the positive locking contour 13 and its lower edge abuts the control slope 24. The locking contour 14 is thereby moved into the unlocked position, and the receiving container 6, with wall section 7a, is brought into contact with the support surface 15. The connection state is achieved when the locking contour 14 automatically returns to the locking position and engages with or behind wall section 7a.

[0065] When the receiving container 6 is disassembled, the locking contour 14 is pivoted into the unlocking position by applying pressure in the assembly direction M, so that the receiving container 6 can be tilted out of the container interface 12 by a tilting movement against the assembly direction M and subsequently removed from the container interface 12 by a pulling movement in the longitudinal direction L.

[0066] Figure 5 Figure 1 shows the ordering system 1 in a schematic three-dimensional representation with an alternative configuration of the holder arrangement 2. In this embodiment, the receiving container 5 has a height of 50 mm, whereas the receiving container 5 of the Figures 1 to 4 has a height of 25 mm. Accordingly, the basic insert is 5, as in Figure 6 shown, constructively attached to the receiving container 5 of the Figure 5 adjusted.

[0067] To accommodate the receiving container 6, the container interface 12 is designed to be correspondingly wider in the longitudinal direction L, with the locking contour 14 being offset in the longitudinal direction L into the vertical T-leg of the base body section 10. The locking contour 14 is arranged in the transverse direction Q between the two lower hook devices 18c, d, in particular in place of the first operating area 16a. In this embodiment, the first operating area 16a is arranged centrally on the support surface 15 or the transverse T-leg of the base body section 10. Thus, compared to the previously described embodiment, the locking contour 14 and the first operating area 16a are interchanged.

[0068] Furthermore, the upright T-leg of the base body section 10 and the safety section 11 encompassing the upright T-leg are slightly offset relative to the support surface 15 in the assembly direction M, so that the receiving container 6 rests exclusively on the support surface 15 in the assembly direction, thus preventing over-definition. Additionally, the two lower hook sections 18c, d and the safety section 11, together with the locking contour 14, form a support area 25 in the longitudinal direction L for supporting the receiving container 6 in the longitudinal direction L when it is in the connected state with the base insert 5.

[0069] The Figure 7 and Figure 8 Each shows an alternative design of the receiving container 6 according to Figure 1 or according to Figure 5The receiving containers 6 each have at least one partition 26a, b, which divides the receiving chamber 8 into at least two separate partial receiving chambers 27a, b, c, d. The receiving container 6 is the Figure 7 The receiving container 6 is divided by exactly one partition wall 26a into exactly two equal partial receiving chambers 27a, b. Figure 8 is divided into exactly four equally sized partial recording rooms 8a, b, c, d by the partition wall 26 and another partition wall 27.

[0070] As in the Figures 7 and 8As shown, the form-fitting contour 5 has a recess 28, which serves to receive the partition 26 in the connected state. The recess 28 is designed as a cutout in the second leg 22b, which is arranged centrally in the transverse direction Q and is open towards the partition 26. The receiving container 6 can only be arranged in a position fixed in the transverse direction Q within the container interface 12, in which the partition 26 is received into the recess 28. The recess 28 thus serves as a positioning aid or as a centering element for the receiving container 6 relative to the base insert 5. Furthermore, the recess 28 serves as a stop in the transverse direction Q, so that the receiving container 6 is fixed in the transverse direction Q or against the transverse direction Q and / or secured against displacement.
