Abstract
A rack system comprises lateral load-bearing frameworks (10, 11) with supports (14, 15) and crossmembers (43, 44), each made of hollow profiles, which are combined in a flush and/or congruent manner by means of special connecting components to form a frame. A groove (16) has fitted in it a load-bearing profile (26) with load-bearing components on which transversely directed elements of the rack system can be fitted.
Claims16
A load-bearing system having upright, profiled load-bearing means or supports (14, 15) and having transversely directed elements, such as transverse carriers, shelves, and clothes rails, supported thereon via connecting components (32, 36, 45), wherein:
- a) the load-bearing means or supports (14, 15) have a length and/or height and a profiled groove (16) continuing over the entire length and/or height,
- b) the groove (16) has arranged in it a load-bearing profile (26) having spaced-apart retaining components, the retaining components being load-bearing bolts (28),
- c) the transversely directed elements have arranged on them connecting components (32, 36) which correspond with the retaining components on the load-bearing profile (26) such that a releasable connection can be made between the transversely directed elements and the load bearing means or supports (14, 15).
