Description

[0001] Retaining bracket and holding device for attaching an insert to a shelf post and shelf post for attaching an insert to this

[0002] The invention relates to a retaining bracket for attaching an insert part to a shelf post according to the preamble of claim 1, a holding device comprising a retaining bracket according to claim 8, an insert part according to claim 20, a shelf post for attaching an insert part thereto according to claim 21 and a shelving system according to claim 26.

[0003] From the prior art according to EP 3 569 108 A1, a shelving system for installation in a vehicle with vertical shelf posts and inserts arranged horizontally between the shelf posts is known. In the shelving system, fastening elements are inserted into the shelf posts and pressed into holes in the shelf posts at a desired height and secured to the shelf post by the action of a spring or by screwing. To attach the inserts to the shelf posts, the inserts have recesses on their underside in the form of a T-shaped groove into which the fastening elements fixed to the shelf post can engage. In addition, the inserts are secured by screws which are screwed into the fastening elements from the inside of the inserts.

[0004] Furthermore, DE 6 803 064 U discloses a shelf with longitudinal cross members that can be detachably attached to the shelf posts. Welded to each end of the cross member is a metal plate with two hook-like projections that can be inserted into slots in the shelf post from above.

[0005] Finally, from the further prior art, particularly outside the automotive sector, shelves are known which have inserts, such as shelves, drawers, or trays, screwed to the shelf posts between two vertical shelf posts. A disadvantage of the solutions known from the prior art is that attaching inserts, such as a shelf tray, a drawer, or a cabinet insert, and in particular removing and repositioning the inserts, is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0006] The object is therefore to provide a retaining bracket that can be attached or is attached to an insert, as well as a shelf post, which enables simple and quick attachment of the insert to the shelf post, as well as simple and quick removal and repositioning of the insert. Furthermore, the object is to provide a holding device with a retaining bracket, as well as an insert and a shelving system for installation in a vehicle for simple and preferably secure attachment of an insert to a shelf post.

[0007] This object is achieved with a retaining bracket according to claim 1, a holding device according to claim 8, an insert part according to claim 20, a shelf post according to claim 21 and with a shelf system according to claim 26. Advantageous embodiments and expedient further developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

[0008] The retaining bracket according to the invention for attaching an insert part, in particular a shelf trough, to a shelf post has an arrangement surface via which the retaining bracket is arranged on an insert part or can be attached or is attached to the insert part, and a first retaining tongue and a second retaining tongue. According to the invention, the first retaining tongue is designed to engage in a first receiving opening in a rear region of a shelf post and the second retaining tongue is designed to engage in a second receiving opening in a front region of the shelf post. The shelf post is preferably a vertically upwardly projecting shelf post whose receiving openings are open at least substantially towards the same side of the shelf post, preferably towards a front side accessible to a user from the outside.The receiving openings are preferably essentially slot-shaped receiving openings, i.e. receiving openings whose length is a multiple of their width. Particularly preferably, the longitudinal directions of the slot-shaped receiving openings each extend along the vertical longitudinal axis of the shelf post. The retaining tongues preferably have a corresponding design for engaging in these essentially slot-shaped receiving openings. To enable insertion into the receiving openings, the first retaining tongue and the second retaining tongue have at least essentially the same orientation. Furthermore, the retaining tongues of the retaining bracket are arranged at least essentially parallel to one another and at least essentially parallel to the arrangement surface. In addition, the retaining tongues are arranged offset from one another with respect to the arrangement surface of the retaining bracket.The offset arrangement of the first and second retaining tongues in relation to the arrangement surface is to be understood as an arrangement in which the distance of one retaining tongue to the plane (parallel thereto) in which the arrangement surface runs or in which the arrangement surface is located is smaller than the distance of the other retaining tongue to this plane. In a preferred embodiment, the second retaining tongue engaging in a front receiving opening in the shelf post is further away from the arrangement surface, or more precisely, the plane in which the arrangement surface runs, than the first retaining tongue engaging in a rear receiving opening in the shelf post. In other words, the second retaining tongue is arranged further outwards in relation to the arrangement surface. In the embodiment described, the retaining tongues are displaced when the retaining bracket orthe insert part having the retaining bracket can be inserted into the receiving openings of the shelf post along an insertion direction. The insertion direction is in particular a direction running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shelf post or a direction running from the front area of ​​the shelf post towards the rear area of ​​the shelf post, i.e. preferably the direction running in the transverse direction of the shelf post. An insert part having the retaining bracket can thus be easily attached to a shelf post fixed to a floor by an operator from an externally accessible front side of the post by inserting the retaining tongues into the receiving openings. The insert part is removed by moving the retaining tongues accordingly in the opposite direction to the insertion direction, whereby the retaining tongues are ejected from the receiving openings.

[0009] In an advantageous embodiment, the retaining bracket is a curved (elongated) retaining bracket with retaining tabs having the same orientation on opposite sides or ends. This is particularly preferably a one-piece retaining bracket, in particular a curved retaining plate or a curved retaining strip. In an advantageous embodiment, the retaining bracket can comprise a fastening section forming or having the arrangement surface for arrangement on an insert part, at one end of which the first retaining tab is arranged and at the other end of which a substantially U-shaped section having the second retaining tab is arranged. The first retaining tab preferably projects at least slightly outwards relative to the fastening section or a plane of the fastening section, i.e. away from an insert part on which the fastening section is arranged.The retaining bracket has a corresponding (curved) transition section between the fastening section and the first retaining tongue, i.e., a transition section connecting the first retaining tongue to the fastening section. These configurations result in a particularly stable and easy-to-manufacture design of the retaining bracket.

[0010] In an advantageous embodiment, the first retaining tongue has an upper retaining tongue part (or retaining tongue section) for engaging in an upper receiving opening and a lower retaining tongue part for engaging in a lower receiving opening of a shelf post having a plurality of first receiving openings. Alternatively or additionally, the second retaining tongue can have an upper retaining tongue part for engaging in an upper receiving opening and a lower retaining tongue part for engaging in a lower receiving opening of a shelf post having a plurality of second receiving openings. Preferably, the first / second receiving openings are adjacent receiving openings separated from one another by a web, wherein the web is introduced into a recess between the retaining tongue parts when the retaining tongue parts are inserted into the receiving openings. By providing two first orsecond retaining tongues, which engage in two first and second receiving openings when the retaining bracket is in a holding position, ensure a particularly resilient and stable arrangement of the retaining bracket on the shelf post.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the second retaining tongue or a second retaining tongue part can have a web receptacle for receiving a web of the shelf post that delimits the second receiving opening. The web receptacle is arranged in particular on an underside of the second retaining tongue for receiving a web that delimits the second receiving opening on the underside. To lock the web in the web receptacle, the retaining bracket is moved downwards, essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction, into the holding position of the retaining bracket when the retaining tongues are fully inserted into the receiving openings. When the web is locked in the web receptacle, movement of the retaining bracket counter to the insertion direction is not possible. To remove the retaining bracket from this holding position, the retaining bracket must first be moved upwards, essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction, in order to remove the web from the web receptacle.

[0012] The invention further relates to a holding device for attaching an insert part to a shelf post, wherein the holding device comprises at least one retaining bracket as described above. Furthermore, the holding device comprises a securing element or locking element arranged on the retaining bracket so as to be movable between a securing position for securing the retaining bracket in a holding position, in which the retaining tongues are inserted into the receiving openings of the shelf post, and a release position for releasing the retaining bracket from the shelf post. The securing or locking element ensures that the retaining bracket, and thus the insert part, are secured to the shelf post in a manner that prevents accidental release.

[0013] In an advantageous embodiment, the securing element is designed as a securing slide which is arranged on the retaining bracket so as to be displaceable between a securing position for securing the retaining bracket to the shelf post in a holding position in which the retaining tongues are inserted into the receiving openings, and a release position for releasing the retaining bracket from the shelf post. In particular, the securing slide is arranged directly on the retaining bracket. Preferably, the securing slide is guided displaceably on the retaining bracket, in particular parallel to the insertion direction. The retaining bracket is secured to the shelf post in the securing position by the securing slide or a part thereof engaging in the shelf post, in particular in one of the receiving openings of the shelf post, and / or by the securing slide resting against the shelf post.Specifically, the locking slide in the locking position prevents the retaining tabs from moving out of the receiving openings in the shelf post. The locking slide in the locking position thus ensures that the retaining bracket or the insert connected to it is attached to the shelf post in a way that prevents it from accidentally coming loose. Moving the locking slide into the release position also allows the retaining tabs of the retaining bracket to be easily and quickly removed from the receiving openings, thus allowing the insert to be detached from the shelf post. In particular, this allows for quick and convenient repositioning of an insert attached to the shelf post and securing the insert in the new position. In particular, complex screwing to securely fix the insert to the shelf post is not required.

[0014] As described above, in a preferred embodiment, the second retaining tongue can have a web receptacle, in particular a web receptacle arranged on an underside of the second retaining tongue, for receiving a web of the shelf post that delimits the second receiving opening. As also described above, in order to be removed from a holding position in which a web that delimits the receiving opening of the shelf post is arranged in the web receptacle, the retaining bracket must first be moved upwards substantially perpendicular to the insertion direction in order to remove the web from the web receptacle. By moving the securing slide into the securing position, specifically by engaging the securing slide or a part thereof in the shelf post, this upward movement of the retaining bracket and thus removal of the web from the web receptacle can be prevented, whereby the retaining bracket is secured in the holding position.Before removing the stay from the stay mount, the locking slide must be moved into the release position. The design of the retaining bracket with the second retaining tab that accommodates the stay mount, as well as the corresponding design of the locking slide, ensures secure attachment of the retaining bracket in the holding position, preventing it from accidentally detaching from the shelf post.

[0015] The safety slide is preferably arranged in the region of the second retaining tongue and is slidably guided on the retaining bracket. Particularly preferably, the safety slide is guided on the retaining bracket so that it can be displaced, in particular in a straight line, toward the first retaining tongue or away from it. In particular, the safety slide is slidably guided parallel to an arrangement surface of the retaining bracket on an insert part or parallel to the insertion direction. In an advantageous embodiment, the safety slide has an actuating means, in particular a handle or an opening, for displacing the safety slide from the securing position into the release position and / or back. The aforementioned slidably guided arrangement of the safety slide and the provision of the actuating means enable simple and advantageous displacement of the safety slide from the securing position into the release position and / or back.Preferably, the securing slide is resiliently preloaded relative to the retaining bracket. For example, a tension or compression spring can be arranged between the retaining bracket and the securing slide for this purpose. The basic or starting position of the securing slide is preferably the secured position. To move the securing slide from the secured position to the released position, an external force must be applied against the spring. The resilient preload ensures that the securing slide is moved into the secured position and held in this position when the retaining bracket is arranged on the shelf post.

[0016] In an advantageous embodiment, the securing carriage has a securing lug which, in the securing position, engages in a receiving opening of the shelf post when the retaining bracket is attached to the shelf post in the holding position. In particular, the securing lug can engage in a second receiving opening of the shelf post. The securing lug is particularly preferably arranged directly above the second retaining tongue or an upper retaining tongue part of the second retaining tongue. In the securing position, the securing lug engages specifically in the same receiving opening into which the second retaining tongue or the retaining tongue part also engages. This enables simple and reliable securing of the second retaining tongue orof the retaining tongue part in the second receiving opening.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the securing slide has a contact section for contacting the shelf upright for clamping the securing slide in the securing position between the shelf upright and the retaining bracket and / or the insert part. The contact section is preferably designed as a bevel so that when the securing slide is moved into the securing position, the securing slide is increasingly clamped between the shelf upright and the retaining bracket or the insert part. By clamping the securing slide or a part thereof, the shelf upright and the retaining bracket attached to it are braced, which on the one hand prevents or at least makes it more difficult for the retaining bracket to be moved unintentionally against the direction of insertion. In particular, this prevents the insert part from wobbling, which could occur, for example, due to play between the retaining bracket and the shelf upright orThis prevents the friction between the receiving openings and the retaining tabs inserted into them. This is particularly advantageous when using the shelving system, consisting of a shelf post and insert with a retaining device, in a vehicle, so that the insert is secured to the shelf post and prevented from wobbling, especially during vehicle movement.

[0018] A further advantageous embodiment of a holding device for attaching an insert part comprises a holding bracket that can be attached or is attached to the insert part, specifically the holding bracket described above, with a first holding tongue for engaging in a first receiving opening in a rear region of a shelf post described above and with a second holding tongue for engaging in a second receiving opening in a front region of the shelf post. The first and / or the second holding tongue can in particular also have a plurality of holding tongue parts (or holding tongue sections) separated from one another by a recess, specifically an upper holding tongue part for engaging in an upper receiving opening and a lower holding tongue part for engaging in a lower receiving opening of a shelf post having a plurality of first or second receiving openings.The holding device further comprises a locking element arranged in an articulated manner on the holding bracket for securing the holding bracket in a holding position on the shelf post, in which the holding tongues are inserted into the receiving openings. Preferably, the locking element is pivotably attached to the holding bracket via a joint arranged between the first and second holding tongues. In particular, the locking element is pivotable between a deflected or pivoted-out securing position, in which the locking element engages in a locking receptacle of the shelf post when the holding bracket is in the holding position, and a pivoted-in release position for releasing the holding bracket from the shelf post. In particular, the locking of the locking element in the securing position with the locking receptacle of the shelf post prevents displacement of the holding bracket against the insertion direction and thus prevents the holding tongues from being removed from the receiving openings of the shelf post.The locking element arranged in the securing position thus ensures that the retaining bracket or the insert part connected to it is attached to the shelf post in a way that is secured against accidental release. By moving the locking element into the release position, the retaining bracket can be pushed out quickly and easily in the opposite direction to the insertion direction and the retaining tongues of the retaining bracket can be removed from the receiving openings or the insert part can be released from the shelf post. The described design of the holding device also makes it possible to attach the insert part in a new position on the shelf post, i.e. to reposition and secure the insert part in this new position, in a quick and advantageous manner. In particular, no complex screwing is required to securely fix the insert part to the shelf post.

[0019] In an advantageous embodiment, the locking element can be pivoted against the action of a spring element from the securing position forming the basic position into the release position. In particular, the locking element can be resiliently preloaded in the securing position. Preferably, the locking element is formed by a locking plate which is arranged on the retaining bracket via a joint and has a (front) locking edge pointing in the direction of the second retaining tongue, which in the securing position bears against a contact surface of the locking receptacle which prevents movement counter to the insertion direction. The contact surface is arranged in particular on the side of the locking receptacle or forms this side which points in the direction of the side having the second receiving openings of the shelf post.The spring-loaded arrangement of the locking element in the securing position ensures that when the retaining bracket is moved into the holding position, the locking element automatically engages or snaps into the locking receptacle of the shelf post and is held in this locking position.

[0020] The locking element preferably comprises an actuating element for pivoting the locking element from the securing position into the release position. In an expedient embodiment, the locking element is formed by a curved locking plate. For example, the locking plate can have a locking section arranged on the retaining bracket via a joint, which includes a locking edge for engaging in the locking receptacle of the shelf post, as well as an actuating section surrounding the actuating element, which forms an angle with the locking section. Preferably, the actuating element can be actuated through an opening in the retaining bracket, for example an opening arranged between an upper retaining tongue part and a lower retaining tongue part of the second retaining tongue, preferably a circumferentially limited opening, or can be guided through or outwards.The actuating element can in particular be an elongated actuating web of the actuating section, which web extends outwards into an opening in the retaining bracket which partially accommodates this web. The maximum deflection of the locking element can be limited by the actuating element resting on the edges or corners of the opening. In particular, the actuating element can rest on the edges of the opening in the securing position and / or the release position, or the securing position and / or the release position can be formed by the actuating element resting on the edges of the opening. In a further advantageous embodiment, the said holding device has a cover which at least partially conceals the retaining bracket and has a cover opening for actuating an internal actuating element of the locking element, i.e. one which ends before the outer side of the cover.Particularly preferably, an actuating element guided through an opening in the retaining bracket ends within the cover opening. The internal arrangement can prevent accidental actuation of the actuating element and thus unintentional movement of the locking element into the release position. To actuate the actuating element through the cover opening, a tool such as a slotted screwdriver is preferably required. In an alternative embodiment, it is also conceivable to guide the actuating element outwards through the cover opening. This enables simple and, in particular, tool-free actuation of the actuating element. To prevent unintentional actuation, the actuating element can be secured, for example, by a further securing component engaging in the movement path of the actuating element.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the holding device has a feed element arranged on the holding bracket, by means of which the holding bracket attached to the shelf post, in particular the holding bracket arranged in the holding position, is pushed outwards against the insertion direction or in the direction of the front of the shelf post having the second receiving opening. As a result, the locking element is also pressed into or against the locking receptacle. In particular, under the action of the feed element, a locking edge of the locking element is pressed against a contact surface of the locking receptacle. When the holding device is attached to the shelf post, the feed element is preferably moved against the action of a spring element from an extended basic position, in particular a spring-biased basic position, into a retracted advanced position.Specifically, the advance element is moved from the home position into the advance position by abutting the shelf post, in particular by abutting abutment element of the advance element against a rear region of the shelf post having the first receiving opening. In a particularly compact and stable embodiment, the abutment element can, for example, be a abutment web arranged between an upper and a lower retaining tongue part of the first retaining tongue and, when the holding device is pushed into the holding position, abuts a web between two first receiving openings of the shelf post. The advance element can, in particular, be guided displaceably between the home position and the advance position in or on a cover arranged on the retaining bracket.By pressing the retaining bracket against the insertion direction under the action of the feed element and pressing the locking element against the locking receptacle, the insert is arranged on the shelf post without play and is secured against wobbling. This is particularly advantageous for shelving systems installed in vehicles, where a loose attachment of the insert to the shelf post must be avoided, especially due to the resulting wobbling of the insert when the vehicle moves. In particular, a loose attachment of the insert to the shelf post would cause annoying noises. Furthermore, if the insert were to wobble, there would be a risk that objects arranged in the insert could be knocked off or ejected, or that the insert could even become detached from the shelf post. Furthermore, wobbling of the insert would also lead to long-term damage to the holding device or the insert.

[0022] The invention further relates to an insert part, in particular a shelf tray, with at least one retaining bracket arranged thereon or a retaining device arranged thereon, specifically one of the retaining devices described above. The retaining bracket or the retaining device is arranged in particular on a side part which, when installed in a shelving system, points in the direction of a shelf post. The insert part preferably has two retaining brackets or retaining devices on opposite side parts of the insert part, via which the insert part can be attached to two shelf posts of a shelf. The retaining bracket is preferably welded, riveted, screwed, glued or fastened to the insert part in some other way. Alternatively, it is also possible for the retaining bracket to be formed integrally with the insert part or a part of the insert part, in particular a side part.This ensures a secure and load-bearing attachment of the retaining bracket to the insert.

[0023] The invention also relates to a shelf post for attaching an insert part, in particular an insert part as described above, to the shelf post. The shelf post is preferably an extruded profile. The shelf post preferably has essentially the same cross-sectional profile from its lower to its upper end. In particular, the shelf post is intended for upright arrangement on a floor, for example for attachment to a vehicle floor. In this vertically standing arrangement of the shelf post, the longitudinal axis of the shelf post runs along the vertical and the transverse axis of the shelf post runs along the horizontal. The shelf post comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, a first or front end wall connecting the side walls, and a second or rear end wall connecting the side walls.The first side wall is in particular the side wall pointing in the direction of the insert part. According to the invention, the first side wall, in particular in the region of the second, rear end wall, has an outwardly projecting (or protruding) section or an outwardly projecting shoulder with at least one first receiving opening on the side pointing in the direction of the first, front end wall. The protruding section preferably has a plurality of first receiving openings, arranged one above the other, in particular as seen along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post. Furthermore, the first end wall has at least one second receiving opening, preferably a plurality of second receiving openings, arranged one above the other, in particular as seen along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post.The receiving openings are preferably essentially slot-shaped receiving openings whose longitudinal directions extend along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post. Adjacent receiving openings are separated from one another by webs in between. In the described embodiment, the first and second receiving openings are open at least essentially to the same side, specifically towards the first, front end wall of the shelf post. The receiving openings therefore preferably have at least essentially the same orientation. In particular, a retaining bracket or the retaining tongues of a retaining bracket are inserted into the receiving openings along a (horizontal) insertion direction running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis or parallel to the transverse axis of the shelf post. In particular, the insert part is inserted from the first end wall of the shelf post, which forms the front side.The above-mentioned design allows for a simple and advantageous insertion of an insert part with a retaining bracket having retaining tongues designed and arranged corresponding to the receiving openings.

[0024] In an advantageous embodiment, the shelf post comprises a receiving groove or a receiving channel having the first receiving openings and / or the second receiving openings. The retaining tongues of a retaining bracket can be inserted through the receiving openings (at least partially) into the receiving groove. The receiving groove extends in particular along the longitudinal axis of the shelf post. In a further advantageous embodiment, adjacent receiving openings of the receiving grooves are separated from one another by a web. As a result, in addition to the lateral limitation by the side surfaces of the receiving grooves, the receiving openings are each delimited by a web on the underside and the top side, as seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shelf post. The receiving openings and the retaining tongues of a retaining bracket suitable for attaching an insert part to the shelf post are preferably designed to correspond to one another.The receiving openings, which are limited on all sides, limit the movement of the retaining tongues inserted into them, or can be limited, for example, by the above-described insertion of a locking lug of a locking slide arranged on the retaining bracket. In particular, it is also possible for the webs defining the receiving openings to be inserted into a web receptacle of the retaining tongues, thereby preventing the retaining bracket from moving counter to the insertion direction.

[0025] In one possible embodiment, the first side wall can have a contact section that tapers diagonally towards the first end wall. Specifically, the contact section tapers diagonally towards the front of the shelf post and forms an angle with the insertion direction. In particular, the above-described contact section of a securing slide of a holding device described above can rest against the inclined contact section of the shelf post. Specifically, when the securing slide is moved into the securing position, the contact section is guided along the contact section of the first side wall and increasingly pressed against it. The securing slide is increasingly clamped between the contact section of the first side wall and the insert part or the retaining bracket, pressing them apart.The design of the first side wall with the tapered contact section is advantageous for easy sliding of the locking slide into the locking position and promotes the clamping of the insert and the shelf post against each other. The locking slide, which is clamped between the first side wall and the insert or the retaining bracket, prevents accidental removal of the retaining bracket from the shelf post. Furthermore, it prevents the insert from wobbling, which can occur, for example, due to play in the retaining tabs inserted into the receiving openings.

[0026] Additionally or alternatively to this, in a preferred embodiment the first side wall can have a locking receptacle for receiving a locking element of a corresponding holding device attached to an insert part, in particular for receiving a locking element arranged in an articulated manner on a holding bracket. This also enables a secure arrangement of the insert part on the shelf post. In an advantageous embodiment the second side wall, which points in particular away from the insert part or outwards, and / or the rear, second end wall has a holding receptacle. The holding receptacles can in particular be holding grooves and / or holding receptacle openings for attaching further insert components to the shelf post. For example, the holding receptacles can be used to hang a tool bag on the shelf post. However, a smooth orA closed design of the second side wall and / or the rear end wall is possible. Alternatively, a design of the second side wall analogous to or mirror-symmetrical to the first side wall is also possible, allowing the attachment of inserts on both sides of the shelf post. The front end wall of such a shelf post can, in particular, have two rows of second receiving openings separated from one another by a longitudinal web.

[0027] The invention further relates to a shelving system for installation in a vehicle. The shelving system comprises at least one shelf post described above and one insert part described above, in particular a shelf tray. The shelving system preferably has two shelf posts, for example two essentially mirror-image shelf posts, with first, inner side walls facing one another. The insert part has, on two opposite side parts facing the inner side walls, a retaining bracket described above or a retaining device described above, by means of which the insert part is or can be securely attached to the shelf post.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the shelving system in which the insert part has a holding device as described above, comprising a securing slide, the securing slide, in particular the securing slide that is spring-loaded in the securing position as the basic or starting position, is moved into the release position when the retaining tabs of the retaining bracket are inserted into the receiving openings of the shelf post. This can be achieved in particular by a part of the securing slide being in contact with the shelf post, specifically by a securing lug of the securing slide being in contact with a web delimiting the receiving openings. Moving the securing slide into the release position ensures unhindered insertion of the retaining tabs into the receiving openings.The spring-loaded preload of the locking slide automatically moves the locking slide into the locking position when the retaining tabs are inserted into the receiving openings, thus automatically securing the retaining bracket to the shelf post. An external force must be applied to move the locking slide, which is preloaded in the locking position, into the release position. This spring-loaded preload of the locking slide thus simply and reliably prevents the insert attached to the shelf post from accidentally coming loose.

[0029] Particularly preferably, in the aforementioned configuration of the shelving system, the securing slide can only be brought into the securing position when a web delimiting the second receiving opening is locked into a web receptacle of the second retaining tongue or of a retaining tongue part of the second retaining tongue. The securing slide preferably has a securing lug, wherein the second receiving openings of the shelf post are designed to receive the securing lug. Particularly preferably, the securing lug is a securing lug arranged above the second retaining tongue or of an upper retaining tongue part, which can be introduced into a receiving opening together with the second retaining tongue or the retaining tongue part. The aforementioned configurations ensure advantageous securing of the retaining bracket to the shelf post.

[0030] In a further advantageous embodiment of the aforementioned shelving system, the securing slide is clamped between the first side wall of the shelf post and the retaining bracket and / or the insert in the securing position, with the retaining bracket in the holding position. This results in the aforementioned advantages, especially a secure arrangement of the insert on the shelf post that prevents wobbling.

[0031] In an alternative embodiment of the shelving system, in which the insert part has a holding device as described above, comprising a locking element which is arranged in an articulated manner on the holding bracket, the locking element, in particular the locking element which is spring-loaded in the securing position as the basic or starting position, is briefly deflected in the direction of the release position when the holding tongues of the holding bracket are pushed into the receiving openings in the shelf post. This can occur in particular when the locking element rests on the shelf post, specifically by resting on the first side wall pointing in the direction of the holding bracket. Due to the spring-loaded pretension of the locking element in the securing position, automatic locking or releasing occurs when the holding bracket is moved into the holding position.The locking element snaps into a correspondingly arranged and designed locking receptacle of the standard post, thereby securing the retaining bracket to the shelf post in the holding position. An external force must be applied to move the locking element, which is pre-tensioned in the locking position, into the release position. The aforementioned spring-loaded mounting of the locking element thus simply and reliably prevents accidental release of the insert attached to the shelf post.

[0049] Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a shelving system according to the invention. The shelving system shown has two shelf posts 1 which stand vertically on a base (not shown) and are designed as extruded profiles. For example, the shelf posts 1, which in the present embodiment are mirror images of one another, can be attached to a vehicle floor via brackets (not shown). The shelf posts 1 described in detail below with reference to Fig. 2 each have a first or inner side wall 2 on the side facing towards the other shelf post 1, a second or outer side wall 3, a first or front end wall 4 connecting the side walls 2 and a second or rear end wall 5 connecting the side walls 2, 3. Between the shelf posts 1, in the system shown in Fig.In the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 1, two insert parts designed as shelf troughs 15 are arranged, each comprising a base 16, a rear wall 17, a front wall 18 and two side parts 19. The shelf troughs 15 are attached to the two shelf posts 1, specifically to their mutually facing inner side walls 2, via holding devices 20 arranged on the side parts 19, which are described in detail below with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Instead of the shelf troughs 15 shown as examples and arranged between the shelf posts 1, insert parts designed as shelves, drawers, cupboard inserts or in another way, which serve to hold goods, or insert parts which serve to increase the stability of the shelving system by bracing the shelf posts 1, can also be arranged between the shelf posts 1.

[0050] Fig. 2 shows a section of the left shelf post 1 from Fig. 1 in detail, wherein the right shelf post 1 from Fig. 1 is designed in a corresponding manner as a mirror image thereof. The first or inner side wall 2 pointing in the direction of the other shelf post 1 has a projecting section 6 or an overhang at the end facing the rear end wall 5. The projecting section 6 comprises a channel or receiving groove 7 running along the longitudinal axis L of the shelf post 1 with a plurality of slot-shaped first receiving openings 8 arranged one above the other. Adjacent first receiving openings 8 are each separated from one another by a web 9. Starting from the projecting section 6, the first side wall 2 has, as seen in the transverse direction Q of the shelf post 1, an essentially straight section 2a which merges into a section 2b tapering at an angle in the direction of the first end wall 4.The function of this section, referred to below as the contact section 2b, is described in more detail below with reference to the attachment of the shelf trough 15 to the shelf post 1 as shown in Fig. 5. On the front end wall 4, the shelf post 1 has a channel or receiving groove 10 which runs vertically or along the longitudinal axis L of the shelf post 1 and has a multiplicity of slot-shaped second receiving openings 11 arranged one above the other. Adjacent second receiving openings 11 are each separated from one another by a web 12. As can be seen in Fig. 2, the first receiving openings 8 extending in the longitudinal direction L and the second receiving openings 11 have essentially the same alignment or orientation. In particular, the receiving openings 8, 11 point in the direction of the first end wall 4 of the shelf post 1, which forms the front side. On the second side wall 3 and on the second orThe shelf post 1 further has holding receptacles 13, 14 on the rear end wall 5, in particular holding grooves and / or holding receptacle openings, via which, for example, insert components can be suspended from the shelf post 1. However, other designs of the second side wall 3 and the rear side wall 5 are also possible, in particular differently designed and / or arranged holding receptacles 13, 14. Fig. 3 shows a section of a shelf trough 15 from Fig. 1 in a perspective view with a view of a side part 19. A side view of the shelf trough 15 from Fig. 1 is shown in Fig. 4. The holding device 20 shown in Fig. 1, via which the shelf trough 15 is attached to the shelf post 1, is arranged on the side part 19. The holding device 20 comprises a holding bracket 21 fastened to the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 and a securing slide 32 movably guided on the holding bracket 21.The retaining bracket 21 in the present case is a one-piece, curved retaining bracket 21. The elongated retaining bracket 21 is screwed to the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 via a straight fastening section 22. The fastening section 22, or more precisely the side facing the shelf tray 15, forms an arrangement surface via which the retaining bracket 21 is arranged on the shelf tray 15. At the rear end in Fig. 3 and the left end in Fig. 4, the retaining bracket 21 has a first or rear retaining tongue 23 that protrudes relative to the fastening section 22 or projects from the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15. The retaining bracket 21 is specifically bent in such a way that the fastening section 22 merges into the first retaining tongue 23 via a short transition section. The first retaining tongue 23 specifically has an upper retaining tongue part 24 and a lower retaining tongue part 25, which are separated by a recess 26.The retaining tongue parts 23, 25 are, as described in detail below with reference to Fig. 5, designed to engage in two adjacent first receiving openings 8 of the shelf post 1 shown in Fig. 2. The web 9 separating the adjacent receiving openings 8 can be arranged in the recess 26. At the opposite end, the front end in Fig. 3 and the right end in Fig. 4, the retaining bracket 21 has a substantially U-shaped or arcuate section (not shown) (see also Fig. 5 c), in which a section of the U-shaped section can be seen), at the end of which there is a second or front retaining tongue 27. Analogous to the first retaining tongue 23, the second retaining tongue 27 also has an upper retaining tongue part 28 and a lower retaining tongue part 29, which are separated by a recess 30.Corresponding to the retaining tongue parts 23, 25 of the first retaining tongue 23, the retaining tongue parts 28, 29 of the second retaining tongue 27 are designed to engage in adjacent second receiving openings 11 of the shelf post 1, wherein the web 12 separating the adjacent receiving openings 11 can be arranged in the recess 30. The upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27 has an insertion bevel on its underside, which ends in a web receptacle 31. The web receptacle 31 serves to receive a web 12 delimiting the second receiving opening 11. Correspondingly, the lower retaining tongue part 29 also has an inclined insertion surface that transitions into a locking surface 31a for receiving a web 12. Due to the aforementioned U-shaped bend of the retaining bracket 21, the first retaining tongue 23 and the second retaining tongue 27 respectively.their retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 have essentially the same orientation, with the retaining tongues 23, 27 pointing in particular in the direction of an insertion direction E. Specifically, the retaining tongues 23, 27 are arranged parallel to the plane of the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 and to the contact surface or arrangement surface of the retaining bracket 21 on the side part 19. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 3, the second retaining tongue 27 protrudes somewhat further from the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 or the fastening section 22 of the retaining bracket 21 than the first retaining tongue 23. The second retaining tongue 27 is therefore offset outwards with respect to the fastening section 22, which forms the arrangement surface for arranging the retaining bracket 21 on the shelf tray 15.

[0051] The securing slide 32 of the holding device 20, shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, is arranged on the region of the holding bracket 21 having the second retaining tongue 27. Specifically, the securing slide 32 has an opening 36, shown in Fig. 4, through which the second retaining tongue 27 protrudes. As already mentioned, the securing slide 32 is movably attached to the holding bracket 21. Specifically, the securing slide 32 is movably guided on the holding bracket 21 along the insertion direction E, parallel to the fastening section 22 forming the arrangement surface on the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15. In particular, the safety slide 32 is guided between the safety position shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 and a release position (not shown), in which the safety slide 32 is displaced rearward in Fig. 3 and to the right in Fig. 4 relative to the retaining bracket 21. Preferably, the safety slide 32 is resiliently mounted in the position shown in Fig. 3 and Fig.4, the safety slide 32 is pretensioned relative to the retaining bracket 21, for example by arranging a compression or tension spring (not shown) between the safety slide 32 and the retaining bracket 21. For moving the safety slide 32 into the release position or, if necessary, back into the safety position, the safety slide 32 has an actuating means 34. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the actuating means 34 is designed as a bore arranged in the front region of the safety slide 32. By inserting a pin-like actuating device into the actuating means 34 designed as a bore, the safety slide 32 can be pulled into the release position. In addition to the exemplary embodiment shown, other designs of the actuating means 34 are also possible, such as, for example, a design as an actuating handle.At its rear end, pointing in the direction of the first retaining tongue 23, the securing slide 32 has a tapered, rearwardly tapered bevel 33 for engagement with the contact section 2b of the shelf post 1, as described in detail below. Furthermore, the securing slide 32 has a securing lug 35 guided above the upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27. The securing lug 35 serves, as also described in detail below with reference to Fig. 5, to engage in a second receiving opening 11 of a shelf post 1. Specifically, the securing lug 35 serves to engage in a second receiving opening 11 together with the upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27.

[0052] Fig. 5 a) to d) show the attachment of the shelf tray 15 from Fig. 1 to a shelf post 1. Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show a section of a shelf tray 15 attached to the shelf post 1 in a perspective view and in a side view.

[0053] As shown in Fig. 5 a), the shelf tray 15 is held by an operator at the desired height with the retaining tongues 23, 27 pointing in the direction of the receiving openings 8, 11 of the shelf post 1 and, as shown in Fig. 5 b), moved towards the shelf post 1 along the insertion direction E, which in this case runs parallel to the transverse direction Q of the shelf post 1. As shown in Fig. 5 c), the retaining tongues 23, 27 are inserted into the receiving opening 8, 11 when the shelf tray 15 is moved along the insertion direction E. Specifically, the retaining tongue parts 24, 25 of the first retaining tongue 23 are inserted into two adjacent first receiving openings 8 and the retaining tongue parts 28, 29 of the second retaining tongue 27 are inserted into two adjacent second receiving openings 11. The webs 9, 12 separating the adjacent receiving openings 8, 11 engage in the respective recesses 26, 30 between the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29.When the retaining tongues 23, 27 are inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11, the retaining lug 35 of the securing slide 32 initially rests against a web 12 delimiting the second receiving opening 11, specifically against the web 12 delimiting the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28 of the second retaining tongue 27 on the upper side. As a result of the insertion movement of the shelf tray 15 along the insertion direction E, the securing slide 32 is thereby displaced into the release position shown in Fig. 5 c). Specifically, the securing slide 32 is offset to the right relative to the retaining bracket 21 compared to the initial position (securing position) shown in Fig. 5 a) or 5 b), i.e., opposite to the insertion direction. As soon as the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 are completely inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11, the webs 12 arranged below the retaining tongues 28, 29 and delimiting the second receiving openings 11 enter the web receptacle 31 of the upper retaining tongue part 28 orthe locking surface 31a of the lower retaining tongue part 29 or can be introduced into it, specifically by a downward movement of the shelf tray 15 substantially perpendicular to the insertion direction E. Specifically, when the web 12 defining the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28 on the underside engages the web receptacle 31, the securing lug 35 no longer rests against the web 12 defining the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28 on the top. Due to the spring-loaded arrangement of the securing slide 32 on the retaining bracket 21 in the securing position, the securing slide 32 is displaced into the securing position shown in Fig. 5 d), whereby the securing lug 35 is also inserted into the receiving opening 11 for the upper retaining tongue part 28.Due to the arrangement of the web 12 in the web receptacle 31 and the insertion of the securing lug 35 into the receiving opening 11, removal of the upper retaining tongue part 28 from this receiving opening 11 is not possible. The retaining bracket 21 is thus secured against unintentional release by the securing slide 32 in the holding position shown in Fig. 5 d), in which the retaining tongues 23, 27 are fully inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11.

[0054] As shown in particular in Fig. 5 d), when the securing slide 32 is arranged in the securing position, the bevel 33 comes to rest against the contact section 2b of the first side wall 2 of the shelf post 1. The securing slide 32 presses against the shelf post 1 and the fastening section 22 of the holding bracket 21 arranged on the shelf tray 15 and is clamped between them. Depending on the design of the holding device 20, however, it is also possible for the securing slide 32 to press directly against the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15. The described clamping arrangement of the securing slide 32 between the shelf post 1 and the shelf tray 15 specifically ensures a fixed arrangement of the shelf tray 15 on the shelf post 1, in particular without any freedom of movement of the shelf tray 15 relative to the shelf post 1.This is particularly advantageous when using the shelving system in a vehicle in order to prevent the shelf tray 15 from wobbling while driving.

[0055] To release the shelf tray 15 from the shelf post 1, the securing slide 32 is pulled by the actuating means 34 from the securing position shown in Fig. 5 d) into the release position shown in Fig. 5 c). Subsequently, the webs 12 are disengaged from the web receptacle 31 and the locking surface 31a by slightly lifting the shelf tray 15 essentially perpendicular to the insertion direction E, and the shelf tray 15 is displaced in the opposite direction to the insertion direction E. The released shelf tray 15 can then be attached and secured in a new position between the shelf posts 1.

[0056] It is understood that the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, specifically to the configurations of the individual components shown therein and the illustrated sequence of attaching an insert to a shelf post 1. For example, it is possible for the securing slide 32 to be manually moved into the securing position in addition to or instead of a spring preload in the securing position.

[0057] Fig. 8 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of a shelving system according to the invention. Regarding the reference numerals, the reference numerals used in the first embodiment have been used for correspondingly identical or similar components. Accordingly, the following will primarily focus on the differences between the two shelving systems to avoid repetition.

[0058] Analogous to the first exemplary embodiment, the shelving system has two vertically standing shelf posts 1, 1', shown in detail in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, with a first side wall 2, 2', a second side wall 3, 3' as well as a front end wall 4, 4' and a rear end wall 5, 5'. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 8, three insert parts designed as shelf troughs 15 are arranged between the shelf posts 1, 1', which insert parts are attached to the shelf posts 1, 1' via two holding devices 20 arranged on the side parts 19, which are described in detail below with reference to Fig. 11 to Fig. 14.

[0059] Fig. 9 shows a section of the left shelf post 1 from Fig. 8 in detail. The shelf post 1 shown in Fig. 9 differs from the shelf post 1 shown in Fig. 2 - apart from minor deviations in the shape of the side walls 2, 3 - in particular in that the inner side wall 2 of the shelf post 1 has a locking receptacle 37 in the front area or adjacent to the front receiving groove 10 for receiving a locking element 45 of the holding device 20 of the second shelving system, described in detail below. The locking receptacle 37 is delimited in the direction of the front end wall 4 by a contact surface 38. On the side facing the rear end wall 5, the locking receptacle 37 has an insertion bevel 39. The right shelf post 1' shown in detail in Fig. 10 is designed as a middle shelf post 1', in which, with appropriate arrangement of further shelf posts 1, the attachment of shelf trays 15 to both side walls 2', 3' is possible.The two side walls 2', 3' are designed analogously to the inner side wall 2 of the left shelf post 1 shown in Fig. 9, specifically mirror images of each other. For attaching shelf trays 15 to each of the side walls 2', 3', the shelf post 1' shown in Fig. 10 specifically has two outwardly projecting sections 6' provided with first receiving openings 8' and, on the front end face 4', two rows of second receiving openings 11' separated from one another by a longitudinal web 40. Analogous to the shelf post from Fig. 9, the shelf post 1' has a retaining receptacle 14' on the rear end wall 5', via which insert components can be suspended from the shelf post 1.

[0060] As an alternative to the exemplary embodiment shown, a configuration of the shelving system from Fig. 8 is also conceivable in which the right shelf post 1' is configured analogously to the shelf post 1 shown in Fig. 9, ie in which shelf trays 15 can be attached only to one side wall 2'. Accordingly, a configuration is also conceivable in which the left shelf post 1 from Fig. 8 is configured analogously to the shelf post 1' shown in Fig. 10.

[0061] Fig. 11 shows a section of a shelf tray 15 from Fig. 8 in a perspective view with a view of the left side part 19 and the holding device 20 attached thereto, via which the shelf tray 15 can be attached to the left shelf post 1 from Fig. 8. The holding device 20 for fastening the shelf tray 15 to the right shelf post 1 'shown in Fig. 8 is designed analogously or identically thereto.

[0062] In the illustration shown in Fig. 11, the holding device 20 is depicted in the design intended for normal use with a cover 41 partially covering the holding device 20, which in this case comprises a rear cover part 42 and a front cover part 43. The cover parts 42, 43 serve not only to partially conceal the holding device 20, but also in particular to guide an actuating element 52 and a feed element 46, as described in more detail below. An illustration of the holding device 20 without the two cover parts 42, 43 is shown in the perspective illustration in Fig. 12, as well as in a side view in Fig. 13 and in a plan view in Fig. 14. The holding device 20 comprises, in addition to the cover parts 42, 43, as shown in particular in Fig. 12 to Fig.14, a retaining bracket 21 is fastened to the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15, the shape of which essentially corresponds to the retaining bracket 21 also used in the first exemplary embodiment. In particular, the retaining bracket 21 is a one-piece, curved retaining bracket 21 which is attached to the shelf tray 15 via a straight fastening section 22 which forms an arrangement surface on the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15. With regard to the further design of the retaining bracket 21, in particular the first or rear retaining tongue 23 protruding from the fastening section 22 with the retaining tongue parts 24, 25 separated by a recess 26 and the essentially U-shaped or arcuate section, at the end of which the second or front retaining tongue 27 with the retaining tongue parts 28, 29 separated by a recess 30 is located, reference is also made to the above explanations regarding the first exemplary embodiment. As shown particularly in Fig.12, the retaining tongues 23, 27 or the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 - analogous to the first exemplary embodiment - have essentially the same orientation and extend parallel to the plane of the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 or parallel to the fastening section 22 of the retaining bracket 21 along an insertion direction E. In particular, it can be clearly seen from Fig. 12 and Fig. 14 that the second retaining tongue 27 is spaced somewhat further from the side part 19 of the shelf tray 15 or the fastening section 22 of the retaining bracket 21 or is offset outwards compared to the first retaining tongue 23.

[0063] On the retaining bracket 21 of the present second embodiment, as shown in particular in Fig. 12, a locking element 45 is provided via a joint 44 and further a feed element

[0064] 46. ​​In the present embodiment, as can be seen in particular in Fig. 14, the locking element 45 is designed as a bent component, specifically as a bent sheet metal. The locking element 45 is connected in an articulated manner to the retaining bracket 21 via a joint component 47 arranged on the fastening section 22. In particular, the joint component

[0065] 47 and the locking element 45 have corresponding guide receptacles which, together with a (steel) axis inserted therein, form the joint 44. The locking element 45 is pretensioned in the deflected position shown in Fig. 14 by means of a spring element 49 arranged between a bevel 48 of the joint component 47 and the locking element 45. To secure the retaining bracket 21 in a holding position described in more detail below, in which the retaining tongues 23, 27 or the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 engage in receiving openings 8, 11 of the shelf post 1, the locking element 45 has a locking edge 50 which serves to engage in the locking receptacle 37 of the shelf post 1, 1' shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. Furthermore, the locking element 45 has an actuating section 51, via which the locking element 45 can be pivoted in the direction of the fastening section 22, whereby the locking edge 50, as described below with reference to Fig. 19 to Fig.21, is brought out of engagement with the locking receptacle 37. The actuating section 51 is specifically formed by a front section of the locking element 45, which encloses an angle, in this case an angle of approximately 145°, with the rear (locking) section of the locking element 45, which is arranged on the joint 44 and has the locking edge 50. The actuating section 51 further has an actuating element 52, which is formed by an actuating web of the actuating section 51. The actuating element 52 is guided through an opening 53, shown in particular in Fig. 12, in the front, U-shaped section of the retaining bracket 21. In particular, the pivoting of the locking element 45 outwards or away from the fastening section 22 is limited by the fastening element 52 bearing against the opening 53.Accordingly, pivoting of the locking element 45 inwards is also limited by the fastening web 52 resting against the opening 53.

[0066] As shown in Fig. 11, the front cover part 43 has a cover opening 54 corresponding to the opening 53, through which actuation of the actuating element 52 is possible. The actuating element 52 of the presently shown embodiment is designed such that it ends within the recess of the front cover part 43. To actuate the actuating element 52, a tool that can be inserted into the recess, such as a slotted screwdriver 58, is therefore required, as described in more detail below with reference to Figs. 19 to 21. The described arrangement of the actuating element 52 is particularly advantageous for safety reasons in order to prevent unintentional actuation of the actuating element 52 and thus pivoting of the locking element 45.However, embodiments are also conceivable in which the actuating element 52 projects outwards beyond the front cover part 43, so that manual actuation is possible.

[0067] The advance element 46 arranged in the rear region of the retaining bracket 21 serves, as described in more detail below with reference to Fig. 18, to secure the arrangement of the locking element 45 in the locking receptacle 37 of the shelf post 1. For this purpose, the advance element 46 comprises a contact web 55 which projects into the recess 26 between the retaining tongue parts 24, 25 of the first retaining tongue 23 and serves to engage a web 9 between two adjacent first receiving openings 8 of the shelf post 1, as described in detail below. The advance element 46 is attached to the retaining bracket 21 via the rear cover part 42 shown in Fig. 11. Specifically, the feed element 46 is displaceably guided in a guide receptacle (not shown) on the side of the rear cover part 42 facing the fastening section 22 between an extended basic position shown in Fig. 12 to Fig. 16 and a retracted feed position shown, for example, in Fig. 18 to Fig. 20.As shown in particular in Fig. 13, the feed element 46 is pretensioned in the extended basic position by a spring element 57 arranged between two guide webs 56.

[0068] Fig. 15 shows the arrangement of the shelf tray 15 and the left shelf post 1 from Fig. 8 before inserting the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 into the receiving openings 8, 11. The cover parts 42, 43 are not shown for the sole purpose of illustrating the design of the holding device 20. Furthermore, for clarity, not all reference numerals are shown.

[0069] The top views from Fig. 16 to Fig. 18 show the attachment of the shelf tray 15 from Fig. 8 to the shelf post 1. For illustrative purposes, the cover parts 42, 43 are not shown here, and only the reference numerals relevant for understanding the attachment are shown.

[0070] As shown in Fig. 16, the shelf tray 15 is held by an operator at the desired height with the retaining tongues 23, 27 pointing in the direction of the receiving openings 8, 11 of the shelf post 1 and, as shown in Fig. 17, moved towards the shelf post 1 along the insertion direction E, which in this case runs parallel to the transverse direction Q of the shelf post 1. During this displacement of the shelf tray 15 along the insertion direction E, the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 of the retaining tongues 23, 27 are inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11. Specifically, the retaining tongue parts 24, 25 of the first retaining tongue 23 are inserted into two adjacent first receiving openings 8, and the retaining tongue parts 28, 29 of the second retaining tongue 27 are inserted into two adjacent second receiving openings 11 of the shelf post 1. The webs 9, 12 separating the adjacent receiving openings 8, 11 are inserted into the respective recesses 26, 30 between the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29.As shown in Fig. 17, when the shelf tray 15 is inserted, the locking edge 50 of the locking element 45 rests against the inner side wall 2 of the shelf post 1. As a result, the locking element 45 is pivoted about the joint 44 in the direction of the shelf tray 15 into the release position, starting from the basic position shown in Fig. 16. Furthermore, when the shelf tray 15 is inserted in the insertion direction E, the contact web 55 of the advancing element 46 rests against the web 9 of the shelf post 1, which engages in the recess 26 of the first retaining tongue 23. As a result, the advancing element 46 is displaced against the action of the spring element 57 in the direction of the second retaining tongue 27. In the holding position shown in Fig. 18, in which the holding tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 are inserted into the receiving openings 8, 11 of the shelf post 1, the locking edge 50 of the locking element 45 automatically engages in the locking receptacle 37 of the shelf post 1 under the action of the spring element 49.In this secured position, the locking element 45 prevents the shelf tray 15 from being pushed out against the insertion direction E. The advance element 46 is arranged in the advance position in this holding position of the retaining bracket 21 by the contact web 55 abutting against the web 9 of the shelf post 1. By arranging the advance element 46 via the front cover part 42 on the retaining bracket 21 and pressing the contact web 55 against the web 9 of the shelf post 1 under the action of the spring element 57, a force directed counter to the insertion direction E acts on the retaining bracket 21, pressing the locking edge 50 against the contact surface 38 of the locking receptacle 37. The shelf tray 15 is thus attached to the shelf post 1 and secured against slipping or wobbling.

[0071] Fig. 19 to Fig. 21 illustrate the removal of the shelf tray 15 attached to the shelf post 1. For illustrative purposes, the cover parts 42, 43 are not shown here, and only the reference symbols relevant to understanding the installation are shown.

[0072] To release the shelf tray 15 from the shelf post 1, the locking element 45 is pivoted from the locking position shown in Fig. 19 into the release position shown in Fig. 20 by applying a force against the actuating element 52, in this case by pressing the actuating element 52 with a screwdriver 58 in the direction of the shelf tray 15. The locking edge 50 is thereby removed from the locking receptacle 37, whereby the shelf tray 15, as shown in Fig. 21, is moved against the insertion direction E and the retaining tongue parts 24, 25, 28, 29 of the retaining tongues 23, 27 can be removed from the receiving openings 8, 11 of the shelf post 1.
