Abstract
Disclosed is an improved shelf system which is characterized by the following features: an anchoring pot is provided which can be inserted in a fixed and captive manner into a corresponding bore of a shelf bottom, said bore facing the shelf bottom support; a slot opening and a screw path for a locking screw, which is offset relative thereto and runs diagonally, are provided in the anchoring pot; a portion of an anchoring section that is part of the shelf bottom support can be inserted into the slot; and the locking screw can be twisted in such a way that the shelf bottom support is directly or indirectly fixed at least in a non-positive and preferably a positive fashion.
Claims22
A shelf system with at least one shelf bottom support, which can be anchored in a shelf rail, so that it projects transversely away from this, wherein a shelf bottom can be laid on the at least one shelf bottom support and detachably fixed to the shelf bottom support, characterized by the following further features:
- an anchoring pot is provided, which can be inserted into a corresponding bore, facing the shelf bottom support, of a shelf bottom in a fixed and preferably captive manner,
- the anchoring pot has an opening facing the shelf bottom support lying on the pot lower face, which then changes into a holding space located behind it,
- an access opening is provided in the anchoring pot laterally offset to the opening, below which a screw path is formed in the anchoring pot,
- a locking screw can be twisted in the screw path in the tightening and loosening direction,
- at least one anchoring projection is provided on the shelf bottom support facing the shelf bottom,
- for attaching the shelf bottom to the shelf bottom support the anchoring projection penetrates through the opening into the holding space in the anchoring pot,
- the screw path of the locking screw is configured in such a way that the locking screw, adjustable therein, directly or through an intermediate force reversing mechanism and/or force transmission mechanism acts on the anchoring projection of the shelf bottom support and keeps this fixed in non-positive or positive fashion.
