[0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a utensil designed for modular connection to a material supply system.

[0003] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a side wall, in particular for attachment to a protruding material supply system. Background of the invention

[0004] A material staging system is a generic term that can encompass various types of equipment and containers used to efficiently organize, transport, and staging materials and tools. These systems can be used in a variety of environments, such as workshops, production facilities, warehouses, or construction sites.

[0005] Material handling systems typically provide a structured and well-organized method for managing materials and optimizing workflows. They can be equipped with shelves, drawers, compartments, dividers, and other storage solutions to enable clear separation and easy identification of different materials.

[0006] The benefits of a material staging system include improved efficiency, productivity, and safety in the workplace. By providing a well-organized and easily accessible system, employees can save time by quickly locating and staging materials and tools. Furthermore, the clear organization helps reduce errors, losses, and damage.

[0007] In summary, a material staging system is a comprehensive term for various types of equipment and containers designed to efficiently organize, transport, and deliver materials and tools. These systems are designed to optimize workflow, increase productivity, and effectively manage the work environment.

[0008] Operating such fully equipped material supply systems is difficult for third-party users, especially for first-time users.

[0009] Experience has also shown that materials and tools are often stored in closed drawer segments where they are difficult to see and have to be searched for by third-party users, which requires a lot of time.

[0010] Another problem is that the known material provision systems are difficult to protect and control against unauthorized access by third-party users. Description of the invention

[0011] Based on this situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved material supply system.

[0012] The object of the invention is achieved by the features of the independent main claims. Advantageous embodiments are specified in the subclaims. To the extent technically feasible, the teachings of the subclaims can be combined arbitrarily with the teachings of the main and subclaims.

[0013] In particular, the problem is solved by a material supply system comprising a frame structure comprising profile bodies arranged at least partially at an angle to one another; a side wall arrangement with one or more side walls; one or more material supply sections designed to receive, store, and / or transport material.

[0014] Advantageous aspects of the claimed invention are explained below, and preferred modified embodiments of the invention are further described below. Explanations, particularly regarding advantages and definitions of features, are essentially descriptive and preferred, but not limiting, examples. If an explanation is limiting, this will be expressly stated.

[0015] In other words, it is particularly provided that a material supply system has a frame structure, a side wall arrangement and one or more material supply sections.

[0016] A frame structure for a material supply system is a construction consisting of profiled elements, particularly grooved profiles, that are arranged at least partially at an angle to each other. This frame structure forms the basic framework of the material supply system and serves to support and organize the various components, such as tool boxes, tool trolleys, system boxes, or system trolleys.

[0017] The profile bodies are positioned in a specific spatial arrangement to ensure a stable and resilient structure. The angular arrangement of the profile bodies allows for even distribution of loads and forces, enabling efficient use of the available space.

[0018] The frame structure can be made of various materials such as metal, wood, or plastic, depending on the requirements for stability, weight, cost, and functionality. The profile bodies are connected to each other using suitable joining methods such as welding, screwing, and / or gluing to ensure the structural integrity of the frame structure.

[0019] The material staging system, based on this framework, enables the orderly storage, organization, and staging of materials and tools. Combining the framework with the corresponding components of the material staging system creates a system that fundamentally enables efficient access to required items and optimizes workflows.

[0020] In summary, a frame structure for a material handling system is a construction consisting of profiled elements arranged at least partially at an angle to each other. It forms the basic framework of the system and provides stability, load-bearing capacity, and efficient use of space to enable orderly storage and provision of materials and tools.

[0021] A sidewall assembly with one or more sidewalls for a material handling system refers to a structure specifically designed to surround and protect the sides of the system. These sidewalls serve to secure the materials, tools, and other items inside the system and ensure orderly, theft-proof storage.

[0022] The side panels can be made of various materials such as metal, plastic, or wood and are designed to form a robust and durable barrier. They are capable of withstanding external influences such as shocks, vibrations, or dust, thus protecting the items stored within.

[0023] In addition, the side panels can include special cutout arrangements. These cutouts serve to create defined areas where specific tools or materials can be securely and organized. Using cutouts improves efficiency and access to the required items, as they can be stored in a designated space and easily identified. This is especially true for third-party users.

[0024] The side panel layout can also offer various features, such as side handles or bottom-mounted casters to facilitate transport of the material handling system. These features allow users to conveniently move the system to different workstations.

[0025] In summary, a sidewall assembly with one or more sidewalls for a material handling system is a structure designed to surround and protect the sides of the system. It provides a robust barrier to protect the items stored within from external influences or theft. The sidewalls can also feature cutout arrangements to enable organized and easily recognizable storage and easy access to specific tools or materials.

[0026] One or more material handling sections refer to specifically designed areas within a material handling system that serve to receive, store, and / or transport materials. These sections can, for example, be designed in the form of drawers to enable protected storage of materials from dust, oil, dirt, and theft.

[0027] The material staging sections are designed to ensure orderly and secure storage of materials. By utilizing drawer segments physically integrated into the material staging system, materials can be stored in separate drawers for clear separation and easy identification. This promotes efficient organization and facilitates quick access to the required materials.

[0028] If drawer segments are used, the material supply system can have a horizontal drawer mechanism, preferably a locking latch, particularly preferably a remote-controlled locking latch, to protect the materials stored in the drawer segment(s) from dust, oil, dirt, and theft. Access can also be restricted to authorized users via remote control. Drawer segments can, for example, be provided with seals or covers to prevent the ingress of dirt or moisture. As already mentioned, but worded differently, the drawer segments can also be equipped with locks to protect the contents from unauthorized access and prevent theft.

[0029] In summary, material supply sections are specially designed areas within a material supply system that contain, for example, drawer segments or storage spaces, especially for standard boxes, for receiving, storing, and / or transporting materials. They offer protection against dust, oil, dirt, and theft, especially when the drawer segments are equipped with appropriate locks. The material supply sections enable orderly storage and quick access to materials and contribute to the efficient organization and security of the material supply system.

[0030] According to a modified embodiment, the material supply system comprises an upper, modular decking device as a material supply section, wherein the decking device is supported in particular by the profiled bodies of the frame structure, so that the profiled bodies form a receiving frame for decking utensils. One possible decking utensil is, for example, a metal tub with a circumferential shoulder that rests on the receiving frame. Other decking utensils such as cisterns or other structures are also possible. In the case of a metal tub, this can in turn be equipped with a replaceable worktop, for example made of wood.

[0031] The preferred material supply system is characterized by an upper, modular deck system, which is supported primarily by the profile bodies of the frame structure. This innovative design offers several advantages.

[0032] The decking system allows for versatile use, as it accommodates a variety of decking equipment. For example, metal trays with shoulders can rest on the support frame. These metal trays serve as practical storage areas and facilitate the organization and provision of materials.

[0033] In addition, additional deck equipment such as cisterns or special structures can be placed on the modular deck equipment. This increases the flexibility of the material supply system and makes it easy to accommodate the individual requirements of different workflows and materials.

[0034] Another advantage is that when using a metal tub as a decking utensil, it can be equipped with an interchangeable worktop. For example, a wooden one can be used. This allows for a customizable work surface that meets the needs and preferences of the users.

[0035] The upper, modular deck of the material supply system thus offers a practical solution for storing and arranging materials. It increases the versatility and flexibility of the system and allows for a customized work surface. This optimizes workflows and ensures efficient material supply.

[0036] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that the material provision system is designed as a tool box, tool trolley, system box, system trolley, or similar to the above selection; and / or wherein, in particular, the at least one or more material provision sections are / are designed at least partially as sliding segments and / or receiving spaces.

[0037] Combining a flexible material supply system—designed as a toolbox, tool trolley, system box, system trolley, or similar structures—with drawer segments and storage spaces in the material supply sections enables optimized organization and effective use of available space. This facilitates access to materials and contributes to efficient work in the workshop.

[0038] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that the material supply system has a locking device which is designed to lock one or more sliding segments in a closed position against extraction and to release them for extraction in an open position, depending on the position; the locking device in particular comprising: a horizontal sliding device, preferably a bolt lock, particularly preferably a remote-controllable bolt lock, with a bolt and with a ramp device at least indirectly connected to the bolt, on at least one sliding segment interacting with the locking device, a ramp device fastened to the corresponding sliding segment, at least one vertically displaceable guide rail, preferably designed as a profile body, wherein the guide rail has a sliding head which can interact with the ramp device, at least indirectly, for each ramp device.

[0039] The remote-controlled deadbolt lock can be used, for example, in material supply systems for workshops, especially rental workshops or company workshops. This deadbolt lock feature enables improved security and flexibility in the storage and use of materials in such environments.

[0040] A key advantage of the remote-controlled deadbolt lock is the increased security it offers. Using this remote-controlled lock ensures effective protection against unauthorized access and theft. This is a great advantage both in rental workshops where different users use the material supply system in succession, and in company workshops where employees want to securely store their own equipment.

[0041] Another significant advantage lies in the system's flexibility and customization. Remote control of the deadbolt lock allows different adjacent material supply systems to be activated depending on the booking type. This enables customized use in rental workshops, with the materials to be provided—in this case, tools—can be adapted to individual bookings and needs.

[0042] Users thus benefit from flexible access to the materials they need.

[0043] The remote-controlled deadbolt lock also stands out for its efficiency and time savings. The remote control option enables quick and convenient access to the material handling system. This is particularly advantageous in busy workshop environments and contributes to increased productivity.

[0044] The system's usability is further enhanced by the remote-controlled deadbolt lock. Employees or tenants can securely store their own equipment and easily access the required materials without relying on manual keys or other security devices. This simplifies workflow and increases user satisfaction.

[0045] Furthermore, the remotely controlled deadbolt lock enables improved monitoring and access control. For example, it can create records of usage, bookings, and access to the material supply system, increasing security and transparency. This ensures effective system management.

[0046] Another advantage is the scalability of the concept. The remote-controlled deadbolt lock can be implemented in various material supply systems, making it adaptable to different needs. This allows for easy scaling of the concept in rental workshops as well as company workshops, thus supporting the growth of the workshop environments.

[0047] In summary, the present feature of the remotely controlled deadbolt lock in material handling systems offers numerous technological advantages and economic benefits. The system's security, flexibility, efficiency, ease of use, and scalability make it an innovative solution for workshop environments requiring high-quality protection and optimized material utilization.

[0048] According to a modified embodiment, each ramp device has a transverse ramp in the lower frame section and a stop in the upper frame section; wherein the locking device is designed such that the closed position can be adjusted at least by the two options of actuating the horizontal thrust device or extending a thrust segment, wherein actuating the horizontal thrust device results in a horizontal movement of the ramp device in the direction of a thrust head such that the thrust head is moved upwards by sliding the thrust head along the transverse ramp; wherein extending a thrust segment results in a horizontal movement of the ramp device in the direction of a thrust head such that the thrust head is moved upwards by sliding the thrust head along the transverse ramp;whereby by raising a thrust head by actuating the horizontal thrust device or by extending a thrust segment, each further thrust head is synchronously raised to a height of the stop of its corresponding ramp device such that the ramp device is restricted in movement along its respective horizontal movement axis by the respective thrust head.

[0049] The above design, for example, allows the use of a deadbolt lock. One advantage of deadbolt locks over cam cylinders with pivoting tongues is their robustness and resistance to forced opening attempts. Deadbolt locks use a solid bolt. This locking mechanism therefore offers greater physical strength compared to the pins and springs used in cam cylinders, which are used, for example, in conventional office containers to secure drawer sections.

[0050] Another advantage of deadbolt locks is their simplicity and reliability. Because they contain fewer complex parts than cam cylinders, deadbolt locks are generally less susceptible to technical malfunctions or defects.

[0051] Deadbolt locks also offer greater flexibility in their application. They can be available in various sizes and designs to meet individual requirements and security needs. Furthermore, deadbolt locks are generally versatile and can be used for various applications such as doors, gates, cabinets, toolboxes, and other areas where reliable and secure locking is required. This is especially true for remote-controlled deadbolt locks. Cam cylinders cannot be manufactured as remote-controlled locks due to their delicate mechanics and thus susceptibility to failure.

[0052] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that the material supply system has at least two rollers, preferably three, four, five, six or more rollers; wherein the material supply system has a cross-section and in particular the majority of the rollers, preferably all rollers, are arranged in an outer quartile of the cross-section.

[0053] The use of multiple casters in strategically positioned positions makes the material handling system mobile and easily maneuverable. The casters allow the system to be moved easily and smoothly from one location to another, even when loaded with heavy material. This contributes to the system's increased flexibility and adaptability, as it can be easily positioned in different workshop areas or workstations as needed.

[0054] The arrangement of the rollers in an outer quartile of the cross-section ensures increased stability of the material handling system. Placing the rollers off the system's center of gravity creates a stable base that minimizes tipping or falling over during use. This is especially important when storing heavy or unevenly distributed materials to ensure safe and reliable handling.

[0055] In summary, a material supply system with at least two rollers, preferably located in an outer quartile of the cross-section, offers increased mobility, stability, and space utilization. This enables efficient material supply and storage in various workshop environments, improves workflows, and facilitates access to the required materials.

[0056] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that the material supply system has a substantially circular cross-section or a substantially polygonal cross-section, for example a triangular cross-section or a quadrangular cross-section.

[0057] A significant advantage of a material supply system with a circular cross-section is its space optimization. By choosing such a cross-section, the available space within the system can be used efficiently. Compared to a rectangular cross-section, which has corners and edges that take up additional space, a cylindrical or polygonal, nearly circular cross-section allows for maximum space utilization. This allows for more space inside the system to store a larger quantity of materials.

[0058] Another advantage is the improved structural stability of the material handling system. Using a cylindrical or polygonal cross-section distributes the load evenly, making the system more resistant to deformation or twisting. These shapes provide a robust construction and ensure reliable and safe storage of materials. Choosing a stable cross-section minimizes the risk of damage or deterioration to the system.

[0059] Furthermore, a circular or similar cross-section facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the material supply system. Compared to more complex shapes with corners and edges, cylindrical or polygonal surfaces are easier to clean and maintain. This allows for efficient system maintenance to ensure a hygienic environment for the stored materials. Easier accessibility and ease of cleaning simplify system maintenance and save time.

[0060] In summary, material handling systems with a cylindrical or polygonal cross-section offer optimized space utilization, improved structural stability, and easier cleaning and maintenance. These features contribute to increasing the efficiency and functionality of the system, allowing materials to be stored effectively and made easily accessible.

[0061] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that at least one side wall, preferably two, three, four or more side walls at least partially has / have a recess pattern section and / or is / are designed as a recess pattern carrier, for example as a perforated sheet, wherein each recess pattern section and / or each recess pattern carrier has / are at least one, preferably several recess arrangements which is / are designed such that it can be connected to modularly connectable utensils, for example tools or carrying bags / baskets.

[0062] A material supply system with side walls that at least partially have a recess pattern section or are designed as a recess pattern carrier offers a variety of advantages.

[0063] The use of cutout pattern sections or cutout pattern carriers makes the system highly modular and adaptable. This allows various items such as tools or carrying bags / baskets to be modularly connected to the material supply system and customized. The flexibility of the system allows users to design the cutout arrangements according to their specific requirements and organize the items efficiently.

[0064] The structured integration of the utensils into the cutout arrangements offers advantages in terms of order and clarity. The cutout arrangements enable orderly storage of the utensils, ensuring quick and easy access. This leads to improved efficiency and productivity, as users can find the utensils they need without additional searching.

[0065] The material supply system with cutout pattern sections or cutout pattern carriers also offers high flexibility and expandability. The modular connection to the utensils allows users to easily adapt the system to their changing needs. New utensils can be added or existing utensils can be replaced to further optimize workflow and efficiency.

[0066] Furthermore, the modular, connectable tools enable improved organization and portability. Users can easily remove and transport the tools when working at different workstations or need to transport the material supply system from one workshop to another. This increases the system's mobility and flexibility.

[0067] In summary, a material staging system with cutout pattern sections or cutout pattern carriers offers the advantages of modularity, adaptability, organization, clarity, flexibility, and expandability. This enables efficient organization and storage of utensils, improves workflows, and contributes to increased productivity.

[0068] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that the one or more recess arrangements have an I-contour, each with a longitudinal recess, an upper transverse recess, and a lower transverse recess; wherein the I-contour preferably has a circular recess in the transition between the longitudinal recess and the upper transverse recess; and / or wherein the I-contour preferably has round recesses on both sides or on one side of the longitudinal recess to the left and right, wherein particularly preferably one or more round recesses is / are arranged in an area at least partially framed by the longitudinal recess, the upper transverse recess, and the lower transverse recess.

[0069] The I-contour is best produced using tube laser cutting, but other methods are also possible.

[0070] Preferably, both transverse recesses are 31.10 millimeters long horizontally. This provides a particularly reliable fastening option for belt fastening systems with, for example, a belt width of 30 millimeters.

[0071] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that a plurality of recess arrangements are oriented equally to one another and / or arranged equidistant from one another in a horizontal and / or vertical arrangement.

[0072] Preferably, the recess arrangements are arranged such that, for example, the upper transverse recesses, starting from a measuring point arranged identically per transverse recess, always have a vertical spacing of 50 millimeters from each other. This provides a particularly secure fastening option for belt fastening systems, which, for example, have a vertical spacing of 50 millimeters.

[0073] Preferably, the cutout arrangements are arranged such that, for example, an upper transverse cutout is always spaced vertically by 25 millimeters from a lower transverse cutout, starting from a measuring point arranged identically for each transverse cutout. The cutout arrangements thus provide a fastening option for common belt fastening systems that allow this dimension for looping through.

[0074] Preferably, the recess arrangements are arranged such that, for example, the upper transverse recesses, starting from a measuring point arranged identically per transverse recess, always have a horizontal spacing of 40 millimeters from each other. This provides a particularly secure fastening option for belt fastening systems, which, for example, have a horizontal spacing of 40 millimeters.

[0075] The carrier material is in particular an AlMg3 alloy and / or has a material thickness of in particular at least 2, preferably 2.5, and particularly preferably 3 millimeters. The maximum material thickness is in particular 4.5 millimeters, preferably 4.0 millimeters, particularly preferably 4.5 millimeters.

[0076] The center of the circular recess is preferably located in the intersection of the main center axis of the longitudinal recess and the main center axis of the upper transverse recess.

[0077] In other words, partly repeating, partly with new information content, a recess arrangement 40 is preferably dimensioned / designed as follows: The horizontal recess width of the upper and lower transverse recesses is preferably 31.10 millimeters each.

[0078] The vertical recess length of the upper and lower transverse recesses is preferably 8.1 millimeters each.

[0079] The upper and lower transverse recesses and / or the longitudinal recess preferably have a radius of 1 millimeter in the corners.

[0080] The horizontal recess width of the longitudinal recess is preferably 10.50 millimeters.

[0081] The horizontal center distance of the two round recesses, if present, is preferably 25.00 millimeters.

[0082] The diameter of one or both round recesses, if present, is preferably 6.10 millimeters.

[0083] The horizontal center distance between two circular recesses is preferably 40.00 millimeters for recess arrangements arranged next to one another.

[0084] The diameter of the circular recess, if present, is preferably 19.00 millimeters.

[0085] The vertical distance between two center axes of upper transverse recesses is preferably 50.00 millimeters for recess arrangements arranged one above the other. This distance is defined as distance 1.

[0086] The vertical distance between the center axis of an upper transverse recess and a lower transverse recess 46 in a recess arrangement is preferably 25.00 millimeters. This distance is defined as distance 2.

[0087] The vertical distance of the center axis of an upper transverse recess from a horizontal center axis of the recess arrangement 40 is preferably 12.50 millimeters. This distance is defined as distance 3.

[0088] All of the above values ​​are considered to be met if there is a deviation of less than or equal to ten percent.

[0089] This results in a ratio of 50:25:12.5, i.e. 4:2:1, for distances 1, 2 and 3. It has been found that the ratio 4:2:1 for recess arrangements with I-contours is also balanced for other dimensions in such a way that it always leads to surprisingly stiff, but nevertheless very versatile recess pattern sections or recess pattern carriers with 1-contour-shaped recesses.

[0090] The recess arrangements are therefore particularly suitable for fastening different fastening systems, with belt fastening systems being particularly preferred.

[0091] In the present context, the two belt fastening systems MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) and PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) are considered to be preferred belt fastening systems, in particular for all of the above embodiments, but not as a limitation.

[0092] MOLLE is a system for the modular attachment of external equipment. It comprises horizontal straps that can be attached to carrying systems, in this case the cutout arrangements. The straps have a grid structure that allows for the optional attachment of compatible bags and pouches using, for example, plastic clips, snap fasteners, or similar means. The MOLLE system offers flexibility, allowing the user to adjust the position and configuration of the bags as needed.

[0093] PALS is similar and can be systematically categorized as a subordinate system to the MOLLE system. It consists of vertical fabric loops distributed at regular intervals across the perforated plate's recesses. The PALS loops primarily serve as anchor points for attaching bags and pouches, which optionally feature matching attachment straps or clips. The PALS system enables secure and robust attachment of equipment.

[0094] In summary, MOLLE is the overarching system that includes the support platforms with the straps and mesh structures, while PALS is the specific attachment system within MOLLE that includes the loops and anchor points. For this purpose, MOLLE and PALS are considered the preferred, but not limiting, strap attachment systems. As a preferred embodiment, MOLLE and / or PALS can be used as the limiting configuration.

[0095] The feature that the recess arrangements each have an I-contour with a longitudinal recess, an upper transverse recess and a lower transverse recess offers a number of advantages.

[0096] The I-shaped contour, and especially the circular recess at the transition between the longitudinal recess and the upper transverse recess, allows for secure placement of utensils. This recess contour allows for precise and secure storage of tools and objects, preventing them from slipping or falling during transport or storage.

[0097] The arrangement of round recesses on the left and right sides, either on one side or on both sides of the longitudinal recess, offers further advantages. These round recesses allow for the specific attachment of utensils such as pins, bolts, or other round tools. Their placement in an area framed by the longitudinal recess, the upper transverse recess, and the lower transverse recess ensures optimal use of the available space.

[0098] This feature allows for the use of various attachment methods, such as grooved disks, MOLLE, PALS, airline fittings, hammer-type T-nuts, and similar devices. This allows tools to be securely attached to the recessed areas, enabling orderly organization and easy access to the items. Especially with equidistant recessed areas arranged side by side and / or one above the other, MOLLE and PALS offer a high degree of flexibility in attaching tools and equipment.

[0099] The I-contour ensures a rigid construction of the cutout pattern section or cutout pattern carrier. The precise design of the cutout arrangements ensures stable and reliable support of the utensils. This ensures that the utensils are held securely during transport or storage, preventing damage or loss.

[0100] In summary, the I-contour design with its longitudinal recess, upper transverse recess, and lower transverse recess offers numerous advantages. It allows for the secure storage of utensils of various shapes and sizes and offers a wide range of fastening options through the use of various fastening methods. The rigid construction ensures reliable support and protects the utensils from damage.

[0101] According to a modified embodiment, it is provided that the material provision system comprises at least one modularly connectable utensil with a connecting segment, wherein the utensil is connectable via the connecting segment to the side wall, in particular to at least one recess arrangement of a recess pattern section or a recess pattern carrier; wherein in particular the utensil has one or more recess arrangements on an outer utensil structure; and / or wherein in particular the utensil has a connecting segment which is divided into two, three or more connecting sub-segments angled horizontally and / or vertically to one another.

[0102] The angles are preferably between 15 and 30 degrees, with particular preference between 20 and 25 degrees. 22.5 degrees is particularly preferred, with a tolerance of 10 percent. This allows the tool to be mounted at various angles, optimizing accessibility and comfort for the user.

[0103] The connecting sub-segments can be fastened to the material supply system via one or more recess arrangements and / or via elongated holes.

[0104] The feature that the material supply system has at least one modularly connectable utensil with a connecting segment and that the utensil can be connected via the connecting segment to the side wall, in particular to a recess arrangement of a recess pattern section or a recess pattern carrier, offers various advantages.

[0105] The ability to connect the utensil to the side panel of the material supply system allows for flexible and customized customization. The utensil can be attached in various positions and cutout configurations depending on needs and requirements. This creates a customized and efficient organizational solution that allows utensils to be placed exactly where they are needed.

[0106] The utensil itself preferably has one or more recess arrangements on its outer structure. These recess arrangements provide additional fastening options for tools or other objects. Additional utensils can be securely and stably secured in series within the recess arrangements, creating an organized and easily accessible storage system.

[0107] A further advantage lies in the design of the utensil's connecting segment. Specifically, the connecting segment is divided into two, three, or more horizontally and / or vertically angled connecting sub-segments. This subdivision creates increased flexibility when connecting the utensil to the side panel. It allows for various angle and orientation options for optimal adjustment and positioning of the utensil.

[0108] The use of modular, connectable tools and connecting segments offers a high degree of versatility and adaptability. The material supply system can be configured according to individual requirements and applications. It enables efficient use of available space and optimal organization of tools and utensils.

[0109] In summary, the modular, connectable utensils feature with connecting segments and recess arrangements offers numerous advantages. It allows for flexible and individual customization, secure attachment of utensils, increased positioning versatility, and optimal use of available space. This ensures efficient organization and easy access to the necessary utensils.

[0110] Also advantageous is a utensil designed for modular connection with a material supply system mentioned above, wherein the utensil has a connecting segment; wherein the utensil is connectable via the connecting segment to the side wall of the material supply system, in particular to at least one recess arrangement of a recess pattern section or a recess pattern carrier of the material supply system; wherein in particular the utensil has one or more recess arrangements on an outer utensil structure; and / or wherein in particular the utensil has a connecting segment that is divided into two, three or more connecting sub-segments that are angled horizontally and / or vertically to one another.

[0111] Also advantageous is a side wall, particularly designed for attachment to a protruding material supply system, wherein the side wall has at least one protruding recess pattern section or is configured as a protruding recess pattern carrier, for example, as a perforated sheet. Each recess pattern section and / or each recess pattern carrier has at least one, preferably several, recess arrangements, which are designed such that they can be connected to modularly connectable utensils.

Detailed description of the implementation examples

[0114] The described embodiments are merely examples that can be modified and / or supplemented in a variety of ways within the scope of the claims. Each feature described for a specific embodiment can be used independently or in combination with other features in any other embodiment. Each feature described for an embodiment of a specific claim category can also be used correspondingly in an embodiment of a different claim category.

[0115] The Figures 1 to 18show a material supply system 1, comprising a frame structure 10 with profile bodies 12 arranged at an angle to each other. The profile bodies 12 are designed as groove profiles. The selection of the groove profile can in principle be independent of other features of the Figure 1 shown material supply system.

[0116] The material supply system 1 further comprises a side wall arrangement 14 with, for example, three side walls 16 and a plurality of material supply sections 18 which are designed to receive, store and / or transport material, in particular tools.

[0117] The material supply system 1 shown in the figures is designed as a tool trolley by way of example and not limitation. In this context, eight material supply sections 18 are divided into seven drawer segments 18a, i.e., drawer pull-out systems, and a receiving space 18b, which is designed to accommodate a standard box, also known as a Eurobox. A standard box and a Eurobox are therefore two different terms for the same object. They refer to a standardized container used in various industries for transport and storage purposes. The standard box or Eurobox is a plastic container that conforms to the Euro standard dimensions. The exact dimensions of a Eurobox are usually 600 mm long, 400 mm wide, and 200 mm high. However, there are also variants with other sizes, such as Euroboxes with a height of 300 mm or 400 mm.Euroboxes are stackable and, thanks to their standardized dimensions, can be easily placed on pallets. They are durable, robust, and can be used for the transport and storage of goods in various industries, such as logistics, retail, the automotive industry, and the food industry. A standard box stored in a storage compartment 18b can thus be quickly and easily exchanged according to the needs of the respective user.

[0118] As particularly in the Figures 8 to 14 As shown, the material supply system 1 has a locking device 20 which is designed to lock the exemplary seven sliding segments 18a in a closed position against extraction and to release them for extraction in an open position, depending on the position.

[0119] For this purpose, the locking device 20 comprises in particular a horizontal thrust device 22, preferably a bolt lock, particularly preferably a remote-controllable bolt lock, with a bolt 24 and with a ramp device 26 at least indirectly connected to the bolt 24.

[0120] In addition, the locking device 20 comprises, in particular on each thrust segment 18a interacting with the locking device 20, a ramp device 26 fastened to the corresponding thrust segment 18a.

[0121] Furthermore, the locking device 20 comprises, in particular, a vertically displaceable guide rail 30, which is designed as a profile body 12. The guide rail 30 has, at least indirectly, for each ramp device 26, a pusher head 32 that can interact with the ramp device 26.

[0122] Each ramp device 26 has a transverse ramp 34 in the lower frame section and a stop 36 in the upper frame section. Each transverse ramp 34 has a horizontal and a vertical portion to guide the corresponding push head.

[0123] The locking device 20 is designed such that the closed position can be adjusted at least by the two options of actuating the horizontal sliding device 22 or pulling out a sliding segment 18a.

[0124] By actuating the horizontal thrust device 22, the ramp device 26 is moved horizontally in the direction of a thrust head 32, in that the thrust head 32 is moved upwards by sliding the thrust head 32 along the transverse ramp 34.

[0125] By extending a push segment 18a, the ramp device 26 is moved horizontally in the direction of a push head 32, in that the push head 32 is moved upwards by sliding the push head 32 along the transverse ramp 34.

[0126] In other words, it can be said that the actuation of the horizontal thrust device 22 simulates an opening or extension of a thrust segment 18a.

[0127] By raising a thrust head 32 by actuating the horizontal thrust device 22 or by extending a thrust segment 18a, each additional thrust head 32 is synchronously moved up to a height of the stop 36 of its corresponding ramp device 26 in such a way that the ramp device 26 is restricted in movement along its respective horizontal movement axis by the respective thrust head 32.

[0128] The material supply system 1 comprises, for example, four rollers 38. For this purpose, the material supply system 1 comprises a quadrangular cross-section, and all rollers 38 are arranged in an outer quartile of the cross-section.

[0129] The material supply system 1 has a total of four side walls 16. One side wall 16 is equipped with push segments 18a, and three further side walls 16 are each designed as a perforated sheet as a recess pattern carrier 16b. Each recess pattern carrier 16b has a plurality of recess arrangements 40, which are designed such that they can be connected to modularly connectable utensils 42.

[0130] The recess arrangements 40 comprise an I-contour with a longitudinal recess 44, an upper transverse recess 46 and a lower transverse recess 48, particularly visible in Figure 28. The I-contour also comprises a circular recess 50 in the transition between the longitudinal recess 44 and the upper transverse recess 46 and preferably a round recess 52 on either side of the longitudinal recess 44 on the left and right. Each round recess 52 is arranged in an area at least partially framed by the longitudinal recess 44, the upper transverse recess 46 and the lower transverse recess 48. In other words, if a vertical projection line were drawn between the respective outer edge of the left or right upper transverse recess 46 and the correspondingly similarly oriented left or right outer edge of the lower transverse recess 48, the corresponding round recess 52 would lie in an area between the recesses 44, 46, 48 and the projection line.

[0131] The recess arrangements 40 are oriented horizontally and vertically and are arranged equidistant from one another. This allows for particularly effective attachment of belt fastening systems 62 such as MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) and, in particular, PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System), see the schematic illustration in Figure 26 , in which a belt segment is guided in a meandering manner through recess arrangements 40.

[0132] Furthermore, the material supply system 1 preferably has at least one modularly connectable utensil 42 with a connecting segment 54, see Figures 21 and 22 .

[0133] It is not shown in more detail that the utensil 42 is connected or connectable to the side wall 16 via the connecting segment 54, for example by means of at least one recess arrangement 40 of a recess pattern section 16a or a recess pattern carrier 16b or also via elongated holes.

[0134] Furthermore, the utensil 42 has one or more recess arrangements 40 on an outer utensil structure 56, see Figures 29 to 33 .

[0135] The Figures 31 to 33show a toolbox 42 designed as a toolbox from various perspectives. Noteworthy is the grooved disk 64 serving as a suspension bolt. The grooved disk 64 allows the toolbox to be suspended in a recess arrangement 40. Thus, the toolbox can be stored, prepared, and / or transported on a material supply system 1. This fastening principle can also be generally applied to other tools and is not limited to the toolbox shown.

[0136] The utensil 42 according to Figure 29 shows additional openings of different sizes and shapes for attaching tools and / or equipment.

[0137] The utensil 42 according to Figure 30 shows notch-like recesses for hanging tools and / or equipment.

[0138] Preferably, the utensil 42 according to Figure 22a connecting segment 54, which is divided into three vertically angled connecting sub-segments 54a. This allows the utensil 42, for example designed as a receiving body, to be mounted on the material supply system 1 at an inclination towards the user in order to facilitate accessibility of the materials stored in the utensil 42. The angles represented by the arrows are preferably between 15 and 30 degrees, particularly preferably between 20 and 25 degrees. 22.5 degrees is particularly preferred, i.e., with a tolerance of 10 percent. These angle specifications are generally applicable to all utensils and not to the Figure 22 The utensil shown is limited.

[0139] The Figures 15 to 18 show the material supply system 1, which has a folding table 58 that can be pivoted via folding consoles 60. The folding console 60 is in Figure 19 opened and in Figure 20closed.

[0140] The Figures 34 to 41 show an airline fitting 66 mounted in a recess arrangement 40 or to be mounted in the process. The airline fitting 66 is inserted under tension via the circular recess 50 into the recess arrangement 40 and is relaxed further down in the region of the longitudinal recess 44 and thus fixed.

[0141] The same applies to a grooved disc 64, which according to the Figures 42 to 44 is inserted into the recess arrangement 40 via the circular recess 50 and is guided under the action of the weight force along the longitudinal recess 44 into the lower transverse recess 48.

[0142] Preferably, a recess arrangement 40 is dimensioned / designed as follows: The carrier material is in particular an AlMg3 alloy and / or has a material thickness of in particular at least 2, preferably 2.5, and particularly preferably 3 millimeters. The maximum material thickness is in particular 4.5 millimeters, preferably 4.0 millimeters, particularly preferably 4.5 millimeters.

[0143] The horizontal recess width of the upper and lower transverse recesses 46, 48 is preferably 31.10 millimeters each.

[0144] The vertical recess length of the upper and lower transverse recesses 46, 48 is preferably 8.1 millimeters each.

[0145] The upper and lower transverse recesses 46, 48 and / or the longitudinal recess 44 preferably have a radius of 1 millimeter in the corners. The horizontal width of the longitudinal recess 44 is preferably 10.50 millimeters.

[0146] The horizontal center distance of the two round recesses 52, if present, is preferably 25.00 millimeters.

[0147] The diameter of one or both of the round recesses 52, if present, is preferably 6.10 millimeters.

[0148] The horizontal center distance between two circular recesses 50 is preferably 40.00 millimeters for recess arrangements 40 arranged next to one another.

[0149] The diameter of the circular recess 50, if present, is preferably 19.00 millimeters.

[0150] The vertical distance between two center axes of upper transverse recesses 46 is preferably 50.00 millimeters for recess arrangements 40 arranged one above the other. This distance is defined as distance 1.

[0151] The vertical distance between the center axis of an upper transverse recess 46 and a lower transverse recess 46 in a recess arrangement 40 is preferably 25.00 millimeters. This distance is defined as distance 2.

[0152] The vertical distance of the center axis of an upper transverse recess 46 from a horizontal center axis of the recess arrangement 40 is preferably 12.50 millimeters. This distance is defined as distance 3.

[0153] This results in a ratio of 50:25:12.5, i.e. 4:2:1, for distances 1, 2 and 3. It has been found that the ratio 4:2:1 for recess arrangements 40 with I-contours is balanced even with other dimensions in such a way that it always leads to surprisingly stiff, but nevertheless very versatile recess pattern sections 16a or recess pattern carriers 16b with I-contour-shaped recesses.

[0154] The figures are preferably shown to scale, with particular emphasis on the Figures 25, 27 and 28 .

[0155] In particular, the vertical recess length of both transverse recesses, 8.1 millimeters each, can be assumed as the basis for the scales. Alternatively, any of the values ​​Distance 1, Distance 2, or Distance 3 can be considered as a baseline for deriving further values ​​from the figures.

[0156] The center of the circular recess 50 is preferably located in the intersection of the main center axis of the longitudinal recess 44 and the main center axis of the upper transverse recess 46.

[0157] All of the above values ​​are considered to be met if there is a deviation of less than or equal to ten percent. List of reference symbols
