Device for adapting the spacing between two plate-shaped bearing elements for storing containers

Abstract

A device for adapting the spacing between two board-type bearing elements for the vertical storage of barrels, comprising a number of supporting rods for insertion between the two bearing elements as well as structure for individually and infinitely variably adjusting the length of the supporting rods depending on the height of the barrels for locally varying the spacing between the two bearing elements. The structure for adjusting the length of each supporting rod comprise either two partial rods connected via a screw thread or a height-adjustment element, which is connected to one end of the supporting rod via a screw thread. Alternatively, the supporting rod can also be formed as a hydraulically or pneumatically length-adjustable telescopic rod.
