Description

Device for presenting goods with a horizontally arranged profile rail

Field of the Invention The object is a device with a horizontally arranged profile rail, which can be fastened on the back. In the accessible from the front passage goods carriers of different configuration can be inserted. Such devices are used for the presentation of goods in shops and at fairs. The rail has a longitudinal passage which opens out into the room as a horizontally extending insertion groove.

State of the art

From EP 1 029 480 A1, a profiled wall rail which can be horizontally screwed to a rear wall is known, in the insertion groove of which a support arm with its vertically mounted plug-in plate can be suspended at any desired longitudinal position. This device visibly leaves a wide groove or it requires a groove cover with grid-shaped openings, so that the completely free positio- nability is lost. Furthermore, the wall rail, at least not directly, alternatively record shelves. DE 299 03 019 U1 discloses a device based on the same suspension principle, wherein the load-bearing profile rail is installed in a panel element or arranged between attached panel elements. This rail is less visible by the renovation, the remaining disadvantages remain. In EP 1 152 675 B1, finally, a device is shown which is based on a punctiform plug-in sleeve or rail, wherein in the latter also trays are inserted. The receptacles or rails must also be used or rebuilt, so that in each case according to the installation conditions considerable installation effort arises, the applied structural features for the function of the hook have proven very useful.

Object of the invention

In view of the previous state of the invention, the object is to propose a device of the aforementioned type which requires less installation effort. Preferably, the profile rails to be created should ne locked can hang brackets and trays. In a specific embodiment, the goods carriers which have proven themselves in the device according to EP 1 152 675 B1 should be able to be inserted into the new rail to be developed. Another object is to provide the rail with electrical lighting.

Overview of the invention

The device for displaying goods is based on a horizontally arranged

Profile rail, which has at least one pointing to the front space in the form of a line-shaped entrance passage which extends into the depth of the rail and is designed for the locked receiving arranged on support arms plug-in elements or on trays existing edge edges. The front side extends as a wall, preferably at least in principle perpendicularly, on both sides of the at least one entrance and is non-visible visible surface. The rail has on a rear wall fastening members, which mounting on a support structure, e.g. a building wall, serve by means of wall brackets.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the invention are defined:

On the rail at least two superimposed parallel, spaced Ne- gende line-shaped entrances with associated passages are present. Each passage is limited by a ceiling strut, a floor strut and the rear wall. At the bottom strut, near the entrance, there is a lower support, into the passage, followed by a first longitudinal groove for receiving a slip protection, preferably an elastic extruded profile, and this is followed by a slope sloping towards the rear wall and passing into the latter. On the ceiling strut, adjacent to the rear wall, is an upwardly pointing undercut. Before there is an upper support from which the ceiling strut extends to the entrance, preferably in a bevel with at least in principle rising tendency. The plug element is provided on the support arm with a tapering upwards at the bottom to the free end and an upwardly directed hook intended for engagement in the undercut. The plug-in element can only be tilted with respect to the horizontal. Insert the support arm with the hook lowered into the undercut or remove it from it.

In each case on a lower extension and an upper extension of the front side and a lower extension and an upper extension of the rear wall connecting elements for latching placement of cover strips with complementary connection elements are present. The extensions enclose together with the attached, preferably translucent cover strips a space for receiving an electric light means.

A wall holder consists of a vertically arranged base plate, from the front of an upward-facing tab and a lower bend go off. The tab is intended for engagement in the fastening element formed by a groove and the bend for undercutting and connecting to the other fastening element formed by a screw channel near the lower extension. Below the lowest floor strut and above the uppermost ceiling strut is in each case a screw channel, which, e.g. is usable for fixing an electric light means. At the upper extension, facing the rear wall, is an upwardly open third longitudinal groove, which is suitable for insertion of a provided with advertising information and / or decoration element. In the third longitudinal groove is horizontally to a second longitudinal groove for receiving a slip guard. To cover the two lateral cut surfaces on a cut profile rail preferably self-retaining side panels are provided. The cover strip is advantageously made of plastic angle profile. The connection elements on the cover strip are formed by a downwardly and one to the side open scissor contour, while the connection elements are on the extensions in the scissor contour matching edges. The profile rail is preferably made in aluminum continuous casting.

At the two ends of the rail 1, a side panel 18 is provided in each case. The rail 1 can be equipped with different goods carriers - eg carrier 4 or trays 4 ¹ - and a display 5, which are variable in their embodiment. The carrier 4 left outside consists of at least two rod parts 40 and existing receiving means 47, which are intended to receive a loose crossbar 49. A next support 4 has only one straight rod part 40, so that a straight suspension arm results. In a further embodiment, a transverse arm 48 is attached to the straight rod portion 40, thereby obtaining a T-arm.

To attach the rail 1 mounting plates 3 are mounted on a supporting structure 7, such as a building wall, to which the rail 1 is fixed. On the suspension plate 3, the front side 31 and the back 30 is defined, wherein from the front side 31 at the lower end a right-angled bend 311 protrudes. Between a centrally disposed first hole 32 in the lower region and in each case two further first holes 32 at the upper outer ends of Hanging plate 3, rises from the front 31, a tab 312. At the bend 311 is a second hole 33, which is positioned centrally.

Figure 2C of the rail 1, the two cover strips 2 are currently removed, wherein on the front side 17 two parallel, spaced-apart entrances 11 are provided, of which an upper extension 172 and a lower extension 171 extends. Above and below each entrance 11, there is a parallel score line 170 for optical effects. The lower and upper extension 171, 172 each have at the outer end an identical parallel score line 170. The rail 1 has a boundary 12, which is arranged offset back parallel to the front side 17 and by means of ceiling struts 13, bottom struts 14 and lower struts 143 with the Front side 17 and the lower and upper extension 171,172 is connected.

The boundary 12 has in the lower area a bracket 120, which includes a screw 126. From the bracket 120 extends parallel to the lower extension 171, a first extension 121, with a final profile edge 123. In the upper part of the boundary 12, a further bracket 120 is provided which forms a groove 124 between the boundary 12 and the bracket 120. Starting from the upper bracket 120 extends a second extension 122 with final profile edge 123 parallel to the upper extension 172. At the lower extension 171 is located at the outer end opposite the score line 170 a profile edge 174, which points in the direction of the boundary 12. At the upper extension 172, a projection 173 is present at the outer end, so that a U-profile with a third longitudinal groove 176 is formed. Internally of the third longitudinal groove 176, a second longitudinal groove 175 is formed on the upper extension 172. At the free end of the projection 173, a profile edge 174 is arranged, which points in the direction of the boundary 12.

Following the two entrances 11, in each case a passage 10 extends in the direction of the boundary 12, which has a chamfer 130 on the upper side and has a support 131 in the rear region, near the boundary 12. Between Edition 131 and Limit 12, an upwardly Occluding undercut 16. Each passage 10 has on its underside a support 141, with a first longitudinal groove 142 contained therein. From the longitudinal groove 142 to the boundary 12, the bottom strut 14 continues with a slope 140. The ceiling strut 13 at the upper inlet 11 has between the bevel 130 and the support 131 on the upper side a Fixierbügel 132 which includes a screw 136. The lower support strut 143 in the lower inlet 11 has offset to the first longitudinal groove 142 on a fixing bracket 132 which has a screw 146.

The cover strip 2 consists of a first section 21, to which a second section 22 is attached at a right angle, in each case with an inner profiling 23, wherein the second section 22 is set back from the adjacent outer edge of the first section 21. The free ends of the first and second portions 21,22 each have a scissor contour 20 which are complementary to the profile edges 123,174 and are engaged with these in the assembled state.

FIGS. 3A to 3C

The rail 1 is intended for attachment to a support structure 7. Hanging plates 3 are fixed to the support structure 7 by means of first fastening means 62. Of the suspension plates 3, the tabs 312 project upwardly into the space, while the bends 311 face horizontally into the space. In the assembled state, the upper bracket 120 engages behind all lugs 312 and at the same time the lower bracket 120 sits on the bend 311 of the suspension plates 3 and is additionally fixed by second fastening means 63 which engage in the screw 126 to the rail 1 against unintentional unhooking to secure. As anti-slip sit extrusion profiles 15 in the first and second longitudinal grooves 142,175.

The rear side 30 of the hook-in plate 3 shows the position of the attachment points of the first and second holes 32, 33 in the upper two corner points, in the lower centric region and at the lower edge in the middle (see Figure 3C). The first and second attachment means 62, 63 are also apparent. The Upper and lower cover strips 2 which are placed on the rail 1, go beyond the upper and lower edge of the suspension plate 3 and thus cover the suspension plate 3, so that it is not visible from the front.

FIG. 4

In the first position phase, a carrier 4 and a tray 4 ^{1 of} the lower or upper passage 10 of the rail 1 is approximated. The carrier 4 consists of a rod portion 40 having a first and a second end 400,401. At the first end 400 sits centrally in the longitudinal direction of the rod member 40, a plug-in plate 406 which is fixedly connected to the first end 400. The protruding from the rod portion 40 end of the plug-in plate 406 has a taper 408 on the underside with an upward hook 407. On the tray 4 'is defined a leading edge 401' and a trailing edge 402 ', wherein the trailing edge 402' the mating end 400 ' limited. With the position of the front edge 401 "of the tray 4 'pointing in the space slightly raised, with orientation to the chamfer 130 and inclination 140, insertion into the passage 10 is facilitated.The insertion of the plug-in plate 406 on the carrier 4 into the passage 10 requires one opposite the horizontal taken obliquity with raised second end 401st

FIGS. 5A to 5C

This group of figures illustrates the second position phase with obliquely introduced into the rail 1 support 4 and tray 4 ', wherein the end positions are not yet reached. The tray 4 'is inserted with its plug-in end 400' into the entry 11 and the passage 10 of the profiled rail 1, but has not yet been lowered, so that the reaching of the end position is only imminent (see enlarged in FIG. There is still no contact between the upper support 131 and the upper side of the tray 4 ', and the underside of the tray 4' is still not fully seated on the lower support 141.

The carrier 4 is pushed obliquely with its plug-in plate 406 into the passage 10 of the profiled rail 1, but has not yet been lowered and is therefore in an intermediate position (see enlarged in FIG. 5C). This is the hook 407 is not yet engaged with the undercut 16 of the rail 1, the upper support 131 is not yet in contact with the top of the plug 406 and between the lower support 141 of the rail 1 and the underside of the plug 406 is a gap.

FIGS. 6A to 6C

In the third position phase are carrier 4 and tray 4 ¹ each in the end position. The tray 4 'maximally inserted into the passage 10 with its plug-in end 400' is now brought into the horizontal, so that the end position is reached (see enlarged in FIG. The upper side of the tray 4 'strikes against the upper support 131 and at the same time the underside of the tray 4' sits completely on the lower support 141.

The carrier 4 is lowered with its plug-in plate 406 in the passage 10 to the level of the horizontal and thus assumes the end position (see enlarged in Figure 6C). As a result, the hook 407 has come into engagement with the undercut 16, the upper side of the plug-in plate 406 presses against the upper support 131, and the underside of the plug-in plate 406 sits completely on the lower support 141.

FIGS. 7 and 8

Within the lower and upper extension 171,172 of the rail 1, a luminous element 8 is integrated, which is enclosed in each case by an upper or lower cover strip 2, which at the same time provide by their internal profile 23 for a uniform light distribution. Within the upper longitudinal groove 176 is a display 5 which consists of a first leg 51 and a second leg 52 enclosing a gap 50 into which e.g. a poster can be inserted. The two legs 51,52 are under pretension, so that the insertion of a poster against the clamping action takes place and thus no further fastening means are necessary.

The rail 1 is provided with a side panel 18, has on top of an inserted display 5 and is equipped with a tray 4 'and a support 4 (s. FIG. 8). The carrier 4 consists of at least two rod parts 40, each having a bridge part 405 at the second ends 401, wherein on the bridge parts 405, a transverse arm 48 is positioned.
