  • Patent number: 11832721
    Abstract: A structural system for the modular construction of shelves includes a set of elongate vertical supports, a set of frames and a set of connectors. The vertical supports have at least one axially extending row of holes, the frames have four struts, and the connectors are designed to be introduced into a hole a vertical support and secured to a mounting corner piece of a frame. The structural system is designed such that, in an assembled state, a frame of the set of frames is secured by its mounting corner pieces to four vertical supports via a relevant connector, two respective neighboring vertical supports that are connected to one another via one of the struts of the at least one frame define a support plane, and the four struts of the at least one frame lie outside the support planes defined by the four vertical supports connected to the frame.

  • Publication number: 20230065798
    Abstract: A connection device is disclosed for installing a shelf or a shelf frame on a vertical support to construct a shelving unit The connection device includes a hanger component and a bracket. The hanger component is equipped with a main body designed to be suspended from the vertical support such that an engagement portion engages behind a perforation of the vertical support and a support portion is arranged outside of the perforation. The bracket includes a housing portion designed to rest against the vertical support and a cavity shaped to receive the support portion of the main body of the hanger component. The bracket includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the housing portion of the bracket together with the vertical support when the cavity of the housing portion receives the support portion, and the main body of the hanger component is suspended from the perforation of the vertical support.

  • Patent number: 10349757
    Abstract: An adapter (1) for fastening a goods carrier to a longitudinal support profile (2) comprises a connecting element (13) to which the goods carrier can be connected, and a mounting structure (12) by means of which the adapter (1) can be detachably fastened to the support profile (2). The mounting structure (12) has adjusting mechanism (1222) with which the adapter (1) can be adjusted to a released position, a suspended position and a fixed position. In the released position the adapter (1) can be freely arranged on the support profile (2) and removed from it. In the suspended position the adapter (1) can be fastened to the support profile (2) and at the same time can be moved along the support profile (2). In the fixed position in the adapter (1) is rigidly connected to the support profile (2).

  • Publication number: 20120312764
    Abstract: The hanging apparatus for displaying articles initially comprises a grid arrangement (1) which has a large number of systematically arranged cells (10) which are each surrounded by two horizontal webs (11) and two vertical webs (12), wherein the cells (10) are open to a front face (18) and to a rear face (19). The hanging apparatus also has a primary support (2,2?) which has at least one plug part (21,21?) which is intended to be detachably suspended in a selected cell (10). The plug part (21,21?) has a hook contour (214,214?) which points upward and, in the suspended state, engages behind the horizontal web (11) which bounds the selected cell (10) at the top. The plug part (21,21?) has a lower stop (217,217?) which, in the suspended state, is supported on the horizontal web (11) which bounds the selected cell (10) at the bottom. The plug part (21,21?) has at least one sheet-like flank (211,211?) with a front edge (212,212?) which merges with the hook contour (214,214?) at the top.

  • Patent number: 5044856
    Abstract: Fastening element (5) secured against rotation for a structural part (4) to be removably attached to a supporting arrangement (1), which has a screw bolt (7) and a locking nut (10) to be tightened on the front side of the structural part (4). The screw bolt (7) is situated rotatably and longitudinally movably in an adaptor sleeve (6) which has a shaft part (6.1), which engages with little play in corresponding openings of the supporting arrangement (1) and of the structural part (4). The screw bolt (7) has at its inner end a hammer head (8), the cross-sectional shape of which is adjusted to that of the shaft part (6.1) of the adaptor sleeve (6) and which can be brought from an insertion position into a locking position swivelled through approximately 90.degree. to it. The structural part to be attached to the supporting arrangement (1) is forcibly held in position by means of penetration openings of equal area which are matched to the cross-sectional shape of the shaft part (6.1) of the adaptor sleeve (6).
