Description

The invention relates to a modular multi-storey goods display with superimposed plug-wall elements and arranged therebetween floor elements.

Corresponding merchandise displays have been known for a long time, and are used in particular in the retail trade, in order to present products here in particular and to encourage spontaneous purchases. As a rule, the goods displays are set up in the sales room for this purpose, so that the products placed therein assume a prominent position in relation to the products on the shelves.

Such displays of merchandise often consist of individual elements that are only on site, i. assembled in the sales room to the finished goods display. It is of crucial importance that the individual components can be sufficiently securely connected to each other, without a large number of Aufstellschritten are necessary, or the individual components must be glued together.

An example of a corresponding product display is eg from the EP 08002046.4 For this purpose, the goods display comprises individual wall elements, as well as interposed bottom elements. The connection takes place here via a connector which forms a part of the bottom element and each extends at three outer edges at right angles up and down. The connector is inserted in receiving pockets provided in the region of the upper and lower edges of each wall element. In order to achieve sufficient stability of the commodity display thus assembled, it is necessary that the connectors have a sufficient width, and preferably extend over a majority of the width of each edge. The length of the individual connectors can in this case during assembly time delay, since a precise arrangement of each element is necessary. In particular, the placement of a wall element on the connector of an already arranged bottom element can be more time-consuming, since the formed on the lower edge receiving pocket is not visible, so that must be done here blind.

From the DE 29622521 U1 Further, a display shelf is known, which comprises two side walls and a rear wall and can accommodate pouring. In the side walls are this

Recesses provided in the insertion and support tabs can be used, which are arranged vertically pointing up and down to the shelves or chutes. By a sufficiently large design of the recess and a corresponding shape of the tabs, the chutes can be tilted to allow a better presentation of the products. The disadvantage here is that the display shelf can not be adjusted in its overall height by the user himself to the required height, and the individual shelves are designed variable in height.

Another known sales stand, which is also suitable for heavy products, has two side walls, and a rear wall, wherein in both side walls at the same height horizontal slots are introduced. In this previously folded wares trays are introduced, which are laterally provided with projections which can be inserted into the slots. If heavy products are to be presented in the goods trays, a stiffening element may additionally be provided which is inserted into the slots on both sides and extends over the entire width between the side walls. In this case, the goods trays additionally rest on the stiffening elements.

Object of the present invention is to provide a goods display, which is characterized by a particularly simple and variable structure, and is also suitable for the presentation of heavy products.

The present object is achieved by a modular multi-storey goods display with superimposed plug-wall elements and arranged therebetween floor elements in that at least one wall element at a lower edge at least one insertion tab, at least one wall element at an upper edge has at least one receiving pocket, and the bottom element on an underside at least one plug-in element is formed, wherein the plug-in tab and the plug-in element are insertable into the receiving pocket of the wall element arranged underneath.

Thus, according to the present invention, each component is connected not only to a further component arranged above or below it, but generally, ie, with the exception of the uppermost component, simultaneously with two components, ie, the floor, as well as another wall element with the below connected wall element connected. In this way, a secure and stable connection of the goods display can be achieved, so that it is also suitable for heavy products. Since only one receiving pocket is provided for two different plug-in elements, building up can take place be carried out easily and quickly. Similarly, the use of different wall elements directly to a wide variety of customer requirements can be met, alike a conversion of the goods display due to the connectors at any time easily possible. The individual components are in this case designed such that they can be arranged lying flat in a transport or storage position, and therefore require only minimal storage space.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention can be provided that the plug element is formed with a passage opening which forms the receiving area for the insertion tab of a wall element arranged above it together with the receiving pocket of the wall element. Since not only the underlying wall element, but also the plug element of the bottom forms the receiving area for the upper wall element, not only a fixation of the wall element itself, but also a fixation of the bottom element is achieved with insertion of the insertion tab of the wall element arranged above it, so here a double backup is provided. A thus constructed shelf can also withstand collisions with shopping carts or the like, so that even fragile goods can be stored on it.

According to a further preferred embodiment it can be provided that the plug element can be folded down along a hinge line extending at a predetermined distance parallel to an outer edge of the floor element. Due to the one-piece design of the plug-in element with the bottom, a particularly good holding force of the plug element is achieved. Since the plug-in elements can be arranged in a storage position parallel to the ground, minimal storage space is required, at the same time the functionality of the plug element can be easily achieved by simply folding on the hinge line.

Furthermore, it can be provided that above each plug-in element in the region of the bottom element a recess is formed, which extends up to an adjacent outer edge of the bottom element. In a corresponding recess in the region of the bottom element, the insertion tab of the overlying goods element can be introduced so that the insertion tab, and the plug element can be easily juxtaposed, without causing lateral bulges that negatively affect the overall visual impression of the goods display. Since the plug-in tab of the wall element arranged above it is introduced into the bottom element in the region of the recess is, can be realized in a simple manner, an additional fixation of the position of the bottom element.

It may be preferred that the recess is formed substantially trapezoidal. It has proved to be particularly advantageous in this case if the side edges of the recess lean toward one another, wherein the base side lying in the region of the base element is longer than the base side formed by the outer edge. Due to the undercut edges, the fixing effect of the insertion flap within the floor element is additionally increased, since the insertion flap can not break out laterally.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a recess can be formed on each side edge and possibly the rear edge. It has proved to be particularly suitable if the recesses are rectangular in the region of the rear edge and formed with undercut edges in the region of the side edge. In this way, the structure of the goods display can be simplified, and a sufficiently good fixation can be achieved. In this case, the rectangular recess in the region of the rear wall allows easy insertion of the associated insertion tab and thereby positioning of the corresponding component.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the bottom element is formed from at least three interconnected material layers, wherein the individual material layers are separate and / or mutually folded material layers. The construction of the floor element made of several layers of material ensures increased stability. Here, a particularly high stability is achieved when the individual materials, e.g. are fixed together by gluing.

Conveniently, the bottom element may be formed of four layers of material, wherein the top and bottom are connected to one another at a front edge designed as a folding edge and the middle layers are arranged on at least one side edge formed as a folding edge on the top and bottom. As a result, the bottom element can be converted by simple folding in the final shape, with an optimal material utilization can be achieved. At the same time occur at the bending or folding edges, the individual layers of the folding material, so that there is a lower risk of injury here.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the recess may be formed only in the region of the two uppermost material layers and the web element may be formed by the material of the two lowermost layers. The formation of the recess in the region of two layers of material is sufficient here to ensure sufficient stability for fixing the soil by the web plate.

According to a further embodiment it can be provided that each wall element has two side walls and a rear wall extending between the side walls. The merchandise display is surrounded in such a way on three sides, so that the front remains freely accessible for engagement. As a result, sufficient stability of the goods display is achieved. In order to provide an improved view of the products arranged therein or to provide additional intervention possibilities, viewing openings could also be formed in the area of the side walls.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the wall element may be formed from at least three interconnected material layers, wherein the individual material layers are separate material layers and / or material layers folded on one another. In this connection, the same advantages as those mentioned with respect to the floor element are equally true.

Advantageously, in this case the receiving pocket for receiving the plug-in element and the plug-in tab may be formed in at least one material layer arranged on the inside. In this way, the receiving pocket is limited on all four sides, and ensures a secure insertion of the tabs.

Advantageously, here too, the wall element can be formed in one piece and in four layers. It will be clear to a person skilled in the art how a corresponding element can be formed. The provision of four layers provides sufficient stability. Since the wall element is integrally formed, it can be easily converted by folding in the upright position.

According to a further embodiment, the inner material layers may be formed with a lower vertical height than the two outer material layers.

Another possibility for the design of the receiving pocket is to form the receiving pocket for receiving the plug-in tab and the plug-in element in the two inner layers of material, wherein the receiving pocket forming recesses in each material layer formed with a different vertical depth and horizontal width. In this way, the receiving pocket can be provided with differently designed regions, on the one hand for the plug element, on the other hand for the insertion tab, so that the two elements can be firmly fixed side by side. At the same time, the assembly is thereby considerably simplified, since each plug element has its fixed assigned location.

Conveniently, the receiving pocket for receiving the plug-in element of the bottom element, in which on the inner side of the wall element forming material layer adjacent material layer, be formed. Since the male element of the bottom element is first inserted into the receiving pocket, it has proven to be easier when it is arranged facing the inside of the wall element.

Advantageously, the material layer forming the receiving pocket of the plug-in element may be formed with a lower vertical height than the other material layers of the wall element. In this case, this material layer over the entire width form the receiving pocket of the plug-in element, so that the insertion of the plug-in element is particularly simplified.

In this context, it has proved to be particularly advantageous if a recess corresponding to the shape of the plug-in element is provided in the upper edge on the material layer forming the receiving pocket of the plug-in element. This recess forms a latching projection, in which engages the lower edge of the plug-in element, so that the plug-in element is fixed immovably at a certain position. It is not necessary that the entire plug element engages in the recess, but it is sufficient if only a lower portion of the plug element is in engagement with the recess, so that the insertion is not difficult.

A further embodiment of the goods display according to the invention consists in that the receiving pocket for receiving the plug-in tab of the wall element is formed in the material layer adjoining the material layer forming the outside of the wall element. This ensures that the plug directly adjacent to the plug element and this overlaps.

A particularly good fixation can be achieved if the receiving pocket for receiving the plug-in tab and the passage opening of the plug-in element the same shape and Have size. Since the receiving pocket of the insertion tab is also formed in the region of the passage opening of the plug-in element, the insertion tab to be inserted is simultaneously located on an inner edge of the passage opening, and thus additionally fixes the plug-in element in the receiving pocket.

Advantageously, the insertion tab can be formed by two layers of material separated by a material layer. Since the plug-in tab is formed in two parts, a plug-in part can engage in the passage opening of the plug-in element the other in the receiving pocket and thereby ensure a good fixation. Since the two tabs are separated by a layer of material, it is necessary to move them towards each other during insertion into the receiving pocket, so that they are kept under tension, fill the receiving pocket well and fix against slipping out.

Increased stability can be achieved if the insertion tab extends downwards at least in the area of the material layer forming the outside. In this way, the insertion tab can be easily inserted into the receiving pocket in the region of the passage opening, whereas the externally arranged insertion tab is slightly deformed, so that the fixation of the bottom element is ensured in the receiving pocket.

Advantageously, it may be provided that the depth of the recess of the bottom element corresponds to the thickness of three layers of material of the wall element. Since the web tabs is inserted through the recess in the receiving pocket, the recess serves not only the fixation, but also the orientation of the tabs, so that the structure can be considerably simplified and accelerated.

Advantageously, the insertion tab, the plug-in element and the receiving pocket can be formed with rounded corners. As a result, tilting of the individual elements is avoided and facilitates assembly.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the product display according to the invention comprises a support element which extends between the side walls of the wall element. In particular, if the goods display is intended for the construction of particularly heavy products, the provision of a support element can additionally stiffen the display element and thus ensure the inclusion of an increased total weight.

It can be provided that depressions for fixing the support elements are formed in the upper edge of the side walls. Corresponding recesses are preferably provided in the vicinity of the display opening, so that the bottom element is held in the additional front region by the support element, and a more uniform distribution of the total weight is achieved.

Advantageously, the recesses can be formed only in the region of the three inner material layers. This ensures that the support elements are not visible from the side, so that they do not attract attention optically. At the same time a manipulation of the support elements can be excluded from the outside.

According to another preferred embodiment, the recess may be formed in the region of the two middle layers of material with a greater vertical depth than in the material layer forming the inside, and be formed with a support edge in the region of the material edge forming the inside. This material edge can cooperate with fixing elements in the region of the support element in order to ensure a secure fixation.

The support element may in this case in cross section round, square or L-shaped, preferably be formed as a hollow body. The choice of the shape of the support element can be determined by various factors, on the one hand the weight to be supported, on the other hand, the optical shape, as well as the very good storage possibility of the same.

Advantageously, the support element can have a receiving slot on both sides. A corresponding receiving slot can cooperate with the support edge in the region of the inside of the wall element, and thus fix the support element in a simple manner in the region of the side wall immovably. It has proven to be advantageous if the receiving slot corresponds to the width of a material layer and at most the thickness of two layers of material corresponding to each end of the support element is spaced.

According to a further embodiment of the display according to the invention, the latter can comprise a tray element, which can be inserted over a predetermined area between the lower edge of the side walls of the wall element and the upper side of the floor element. The shape of the front of each floor element by a tray element provides on the one hand additional design options, and also serves the Product assurance. In particular, a depth variability can thereby be provided, which proves to be particularly advantageous when retrofitting the goods display.

Here, the tray element preferably comprises a bottom, two side walls and a front wall. The side walls, as well as the front wall allow this an additional product assurance, since the products can not be easily removed from the bottom element by simply moving or can fall from this.

The tray element may be integrally formed according to another preferred embodiment, wherein the side walls and the front wall are separated by kink lines from the ground. An appropriate tray element can be assembled by simple bending steps on site, can be stored lying flat, so that an optimal use of space is guaranteed here.

Advantageously, the bottom of the tray element can have two regions with different widths, wherein the region of lesser width is arranged facing away from the front side. As a result, the insertion of the tray element is simplified because no complex fixation or alignment of the tray element must be done.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the width of the region of the bottom of the goods tray facing away from the front can correspond approximately to the distance between the two inner sides of the wall element. This ensures that the tray element is held securely between the inner walls, is secured against lateral displacement, and so the products are sufficiently protected.

According to another preferred embodiment, the width of the area of the floor adjoining the front side may correspond to the distance between the center of each side wall of the wall element. This makes it possible to insert the side walls of the goods tray between the middle layers of material of the wall element, so that they can be completely absorbed on the one hand by the side walls, and optically flush with the front edge of the bottom of the display. Only when filling the goods display, it is necessary to simply pull out the Warentray, and so a better placement possibility is guaranteed. This can be optimally fixed by receiving the side walls between the material layers of the wall element of the goods tray.

Advantageously, the vertical leading edges of the side walls of the wall element may be concave. In this way, access to the interior of the goods display is simplified and at the same time the view of the products arranged therein is improved.

Conveniently, in the region of the side walls of the wall element below the receiving pocket, a passage or sight opening can be formed. This embodiment also improves the view of the products and, in addition, a further light source is provided which illuminates the products arranged further back.

According to another preferred embodiment, the goods tray can be made of a folding material such as cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like. The goods display can therefore be manufactured inexpensively.

The Warentray invention is particularly suitable for the display of heavy products.

In the following, a product display according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing.

FIG. 1 shows a goods display 1, which has a plurality of wall elements 2 and bottom elements 3. The bottom floor element 3 forms the upper side of a base 4, which in turn stands on a pallet 5. The individual wall elements 2 are stacked on each other and are spaced from each other by the arranged between the elements floor element.
The bottom element here forms a peripheral abutting edge 6 between the wall elements 2.

Each wall element comprises in the embodiment shown in each case two side walls 7 and a rear wall 8 '. The side walls 7, 7 'and the rear wall 8' are each connected to each other via a vertically extending crease line 9.

At the front of each floor element, a tray element 10 is arranged, whose front side 11 provides a front boundary of each individual goods compartment.

In the following, the blanks of the individual components, as well as the special features of the components in isolation are explained in more detail.

FIG. 2 In detail, the bottom element 3 comprises a top 12 and a bottom 13. The top and bottom are connected to each other via two fold lines 14 arranged parallel to each other, and can be folded on each other. Between the spaced-apart fold lines 14 so creates a front, visible edge. On both sides close to the top 12 as well as to the bottom 13 middle layers of material 15, 16, each by bending lines 17, 18 are separated from the top and the bottom. The width of each middle layer 15, 16 is chosen so that they can be folded on both sides of the bend edges 17, 18 on the top or bottom without here a material surplus is provided. Preferably, a gap can be provided here between the individual side elements in order to provide sufficient material clearance.

In the region of the middle elements 15 of the underside 13 web elements 19 are formed, which extend from the bottom to in the region of the central element. Here, the web elements 19 are formed substantially rectangular, wherein the parallel to the bending edge 17 extending in the region of the bottom hinge edge 23 is arranged offset slightly to the bending edge 17. The web element 19 is additionally formed with a passage opening 20, which is formed substantially rectangular with rounded corners. The passage opening 20 further projects into the region of the underside 13, as the hinge line 23. Further, a corresponding web element 19 with passage opening 20 is formed on the rear outer edge of the underside, wherein the web element in the region of the rear outer edge longer, but with the same height is trained.

At the bend line 18 between the middle element 16 and the upper side 12, a respective recess 21 is provided in the center, which in each case is mirrored at the bend line 18, extends into the middle element 16 or the upper part 12. The recess in this case comprises two outer edges extending parallel to the bend line 18, as well as side walls, which each meet in the region of the bend line 18. The two side edges converge toward each other starting from the outer edge, so that the distance between the side edges in the region of the bending line 18 is smaller than in the region of the outer edge. The recess thus has the shape of a rectangle with mutually depressed side edges.

To complete the bottom element, the middle elements 15 and 16 are first folded onto the underside 13 and the upper side 12 and bonded thereto. Since the outer edge of the web elements 19 is formed as a cut edge, the web elements are released during the folding process from the central elements 15 and continue to extend in a plane to the bottom 13. The recesses 21 are flush with each other and now have the shape of a trapezoid, with a wider base side, parallel to the bending line 18 extending, and a narrower base side, which is formed in extension of the bending line 18. Since the side edge of the bottom element are formed by the bending edges 17 and 18, the edges are rounded and there is no risk of injury. In a second step, the top is then at the fold lines 14 on the bottom 13 worked. The two parallel bend lines ensure that the additional middle elements arranged between the lower side and the upper side are taken into account. In the region of the top, as well as the central elements 15 and 16 are additionally recesses 22, and 22 'are provided, which are necessary to ensure angling of the web element 19 in the region of the rear edge of the bottom 13. In FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the blank according to FIG. 2 shown bottom, the tabs 19 have already been folded down.

Each wall element is manufactured in four layers from a one-piece blank. A corresponding cut is in FIG. 4 shown. Here, the two side walls 7 are connected to the rear wall 8 via fold lines 9 only in the area of the outside. The further layers of material are respectively arranged on the upper edge and the lower edge of the side walls or the rear wall, but no connection exists between the elements of a single layer.

As with the blank of the bottom 3, the outside of the rear wall 8 and the side walls 7 is separated from each other via two fold lines 30 extending parallel to each other. Here, each immediately adjacent to the outside of the side wall 7 and rear wall 8 adjacent bending line 30 is interrupted by a formed up to the parallel crease line projection 31, which is delimited by a cutting edge. The crease line 30 forms the upper edge of the side walls 7 and the rear wall 8. If the inner and outer side walls or rear walls folded on each other, the protrusions 31 project beyond the upper edge. The passage opening achieved by the projection 31 in the region of the upper edge between the two fold lines 30 forms the upper side of the receiving pocket in use.

In the region of the inner side forming side walls 7 adjacent to the bend line 30, a passage opening 32 is formed, which later serves to fix the support element. In this case, the passage opening 32 has an outer edge region 33 arranged parallel to the bend line 30.

At the lower edge of the outer side walls 7 ', and the rear wall 8 web tabs 34 are formed, which extend substantially rectangular downwards. This web elements 34 are arranged approximately centrally in the region of the lower edge and formed with rounded corners. To the lower edge 35 of the outer side walls 7, as well the rear wall 8 are still close to intermediate side walls 36, and an intermediate rear wall 37 at. In order to arrange these intermediate side walls 36, as well as the intermediate rear wall 37 between the outer and inner side walls and rear walls, the lower edge 35 is formed as a folding edge. The lower edge 35 of the side walls 7, and the rear wall 8 in this case also simultaneously forms the lower edge of the intermediate side walls 36 and the intermediate rear wall 37. The upper edge 38 of the intermediate side walls 36, and the intermediate rear wall 37 is formed with recesses 39, which with respect to the position and the form the However, web tabs 34 correspond, but not so deep hineinerstrecken in the intermediate walls, ie have a lower height than the web tabs 34th

The lower edge 40 of the inner side walls 7 ', and the inner rear wall 8' is formed by a fold line 40, via which the inner side walls 7 ', and the inner rear wall 8' with a further intermediate side wall 36 ', and intermediate rear wall 37' is connected. The intermediate rear walls 37 'also have a plug-in tab 34, which extends in the region of the inner side walls 7'. All the tabs 34 are here separated at its outer edge by a cutting line of the material and can be separated from this during the folding. The upper edge of the intermediate side walls 36 ', and the intermediate rear wall 37' is also provided with recesses 41, which, however, have a lower height than the recesses 39, but extend over a wider area of the upper edge of the intermediate side walls 36 ', and the intermediate rear wall 37'.

The inner and outer side walls 7, 7 ', and the inner and outer rear walls 8, 8' are formed at approximately the same vertical height, whereas the intermediate side walls 36, 36 'and the intermediate rear walls 37, 37' have a lower vertical height are formed. Here, the height of the intermediate side walls 36 ', and the intermediate rear wall 37' is the least.

In order to manufacture the wall element, first the intermediate side walls 36, 36 ', as well as the intermediate rear walls 37, 37' folded on the outer and inner side walls and glued to them. After the folding, the web elements 34 each extend beyond the fold line 35 or fold line 40, which form the lower edges. Subsequently, the inner and outer side walls 7, 7 ', and the inner and outer rear walls 8, 8' are folded onto each other and glued together. The upper edge is thus formed by the fold lines 30 extending parallel to one another, but is severed by slot-shaped openings in the region of the projections 31.

The arrangement of the recesses 39 and 41, as well as the web element 31 is in FIG. 5 shown schematically as an exploded view. Here, these elements together form the receiving pocket in the region of the side wall 7, 7 '.

In FIG. 5 For better explanation, the individual material layers are shown as separate layers, ie, the inner and outer side wall is not connected to one another via the score lines 30. In the superposed, glued together state, the arrangement of the layers to each other in the region of the receiving pocket as a section along the line A - A in FIG. 6 shown. Out FIG. 6 the position of the individual layers becomes clear relative to each other.

To connect the individual elements together, first the web elements of the bottom 3 are inserted into the receiving pocket, ie in recesses 41 of the intermediate side wall 36 ', as in section in FIG Figure 7a shown. Here, the bottom, and the web element is shown hatched for better distinctness. Out Figure 7a It is clear that the passage opening 20 in the region of the web element 19 corresponds to the vertical depth of the recess 39 in the region of the intermediate side wall 36, so that the passage opening 20 together with the recess 39 forms a further receiving area, which is a part of the receiving pocket. There FIG. 7 only shows a sectional view, it is noted that the passage opening 20 also corresponds in the width of the recess 39.

FIG. 7b finally shows the fixation of a further wall element 2 arranged above it within the receiving pocket. Here, the cut elements of the additional wall element are shown for better clarity with a different hatching. Out FIGS. 7a and 7b It is clear that the web elements 34 of the outer side walls 7, and the intermediate side walls 36 'by a material layer, ie, the intermediate side wall 36, are separated from each other, so that there is a gap between them. If these web elements 34 are inserted into the receiving pockets of the wall element 2 arranged underneath, in which the web element 19 has already been arranged, it is necessary for the two web elements to be moved toward one another slightly, since the receiving pocket is separated from the two middle, immediately adjoining material layers of the web lower wall element is formed. The slightly outwardly directed force of the two web elements 34 provides here for an additional assurance of the wall element arranged above on the lower wall element. At the same time it becomes clear that a web tab 34 presses directly on the inner edge of the web element 19 in the region of the passage opening 20, and thus fixes the position of the web element 19 in the receiving pocket.

The insertion of the web elements 34 into the receiving pocket of the lower wall element 2 is facilitated by the arranged in the receiving pocket recesses 21, on the one hand, the web elements 34 are moved towards each other by the undercut edges of the recess 21, on the other hand, lateral Wegdriften the web tabs 34 is prevented , At the same time, the web tabs are fixed by the recesses and then held on the inside of the outer material layer 7 of the outer side walls.

FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of a side wall, being viewed from above on the inside. The web element 31 in this case forms an abutment edge for the bottom element 3, which can thus be fixed directly in the desired position without much effort.

FIG. 8 shows in particular a further element in the region of the upper edge of the side walls, which is formed in the side facing away from the rear wall region of the side wall. This is a recess element 43, which is formed in the region of the inner three material layers 36 ', 36, 7', and serves to receive and fix a support element. The recessed element 43 is essentially formed by the triangular recesses 42 in the region of the intermediate side wall 36, and the trapezoidal recess 33 in the region of the inner side wall 7 ', since the intermediate side wall 36' does not extend to the height of the recessed element 43 and thus no material content in provides this area. The stop edge 33 in the region of the inner side wall 7 'runs parallel to the upper edge 30' of the side wall, ie parallel to the folded edge 30.

In the following, the mating of a goods display according to the invention will be briefly explained schematically.

First, a bottom element 3 is inserted into a base 4, which consists of four annularly closed wall sections. The bottom element 3 closes the base and forms its top. Here, the wall portions of the base 4 extend beyond the horizontal edges of the bottom element, so that the provided at the rear and side edges of the bottom member receiving openings 21, 22 are laterally bounded by the wall portions of the base. In these receiving openings are then the web tabs 34 of the lowermost or first wall element 2 introduced. While the web tabs arranged on the side walls of the wall element 2 are held in the first line by the undercut edges of the receiving openings 21, the web tab of the rear wall is held between the inside of a wall portion of the base and the receiving opening 22 and thus fixed in this position.

If the goods display for heavy products is intended, a wall element can be used which additionally has the recesses 43 for receiving a support element 44. Various forms of a corresponding support element are in the FIGS. 10a to 10c shown. Specifically, the support member may be rectangular in cross-section, round or L-shaped, wherein the closed body are generally formed as a hollow body. At each end portion of the support member 44, a slot 45 is formed, which extends over a predetermined amount in the support member. The width of the slot 45 corresponds to the thickness of a material layer of the side wall 7. Further, the slot 45 is spaced at such a distance from each end of the support member that the distance corresponds to at most two layers of material. In this way, it is ensured that a corresponding support element can be inserted into the recess element 43.

In FIG. 11 the fixing of the bottom element 3 is shown in perspective on a wall element 2 arranged thereunder. Here, a support member 44 has previously been connected to both opposite side walls. It becomes clear that this support element is substantially flush with the upper edge 30 'of the side walls. In this way it is ensured that the bottom element can lie flush on the upper edge 30 '. First, the plug-in element 19 is inserted in the region of the rear outer edge of the bottom element in the receiving pocket in the region of the rear wall 8 of the wall element. In contrast to the receiving pockets in the region of the side walls in this case the receiving pocket is formed only in the region of a single material layer, so that the plug element 19 can be easily and easily fixed. After insertion of the rear web element 19, the bottom element 3 is folded down, wherein the web elements 19 are folded on the hinge line 23 vertically downwards and can be inserted directly into the receiving pockets in the region of the side walls.

Subsequently, another wall element 2 can be placed on the bottom element 3 and connected by inserting the insertion tabs with this, as well as with the wall element 2 arranged underneath.

If the support element 44 is additionally used, the front area of each floor element 3 lies on the support element, as a result of which the total weight of the layer can be significantly increased. By inserting the support members 44, an upper limit per layer of up to 30kg can be achieved, in contrast, the upper limit of each layer without support element is about 12kg.

As in FIG. 1 shown, each bottom element at the front edge can be provided by an additional tray element 5 with a front wall 11, which extends only over a predetermined height, and serves more as a safety bar.

The blank of a corresponding goods tray, which is introduced between the bottom element 3 and the lower edge of a wall element 2, is in FIG. 12 shown. Warentray 10 includes a bottom 51, side wall section 52, and front wall 11, 11 '. The front wall is in this case double-walled, wherein the individual front wall sections are separated by a bent edge 54 from each other and placed on each other. In order to fix the two front walls, the outer edge of the front wall is provided with locking elements 55, which can engage in corresponding latching openings 56 in the region of the bottom. In order to fix the side walls 52, side wall sections 57 may be inserted between the two layers of the front wall, which adjoin a side edge of the side wall sections.

The bottom of the goods tray is formed with two regions of different widths, wherein the area facing away from the front wall 11 is narrower than the area directly adjacent to the front wall. As in FIG. 12 or 13 shown, the tray member 50 is inserted with the narrower area in front between the side walls 7 of the wall element 2. The width of the narrower area in this case corresponds approximately to the distance between the two side walls to each other. Since the rear corner portions are formed rounded, the goods element can be easily inserted without much fixation. The wider area of the bottom adjoining the narrower area has a width which corresponds to the distance between the position of the middle material layers relative to one another, ie the distance between the two side walls plus the width of two material layers on both sides.

The in use vertically upwardly extending side walls, which are formed with an obliquely downwardly extending rear edge, when inserting the goods tray between the adjacent intermediate side walls 36, 36 'of the Wall element 2 introduced, and so firmly held between them. The Warentray can be inserted to the stop, and pulled out as needed.

To allow better access to the goods, the front vertical edge of each side wall may be provided with concave recesses which allow better viewing of the merchandise tray.
