The invention relates to a shelf element (1) for a shelf of a rack. The shelf element (1) comprises an upper side (2), a lower side (3) and an elongated main body (6). The main body (6), as seen in cross-section, has two limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and an intermediate portion (6.3) located therebetween, wherein the intermediate portion (6.3) is assigned to the upper side (2) of the shelf element (1). The main body (6) also has at least one through-passage opening (7) that passes through at least one of the limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and/or the intermediate portion (6.3) transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent of the main body (6). In addition at least one coupling location (10) is provided in each case in the area of the longitudinal-side ends (8, 9) of the shelf element (1), which coupling location (10) is configured to couple an add-on part and/or a shelf component and/or a rack component. At least one rib (12) is provided, which is assigned to the intermediate portion (6.3) and has a longitudinal extent in the longitudinal direction of the main body (6). In addition or alternatively, a separate reinforcing element (50) is assigned to the main body (6), in order to reinforce the main body (6) against forces acting transversely with respect to its longitudinal extent. Furthermore, the invention comprises an extruded profile (40) for manufacturing such a shelf element (1; 3). In addition, the invention comprises a shelf frame, a shelf system and a rack.
Shelf element (1) for a shelf system of a rack, the shelf element (1) comprising an upper side (2), an underside (3) and an elongated main body (6), wherein the main body (6), as seen in cross-section, has two limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and an intermediate portion (6.3) located therebetween, and the intermediate portion (6.3) is assigned to the upper side (2) of the shelf element (1), wherein the main body (6) also has at least one through-passage opening (7) that passes through at least one of the limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and/or the intermediate portion (6.3) transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent of the main body (6), and wherein at least one coupling location (10) is provided in each case in the area of the longitudinal-side ends (8, 9) of the shelf element (1), which coupling location (10) is configured to couple an add-on part and/or a shelf component and/or a rack component, characterized in that at least one rib (12) is provided, which is assigned to the intermediate portion (6.3) and has a longitudinal extent in the longitudinal direction of the main body (6).
Shelf element according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the shelf element (1) comprises an insertion receptacle (14) for receiving an insertion part, such as a price tag and/or a merchandise stopper, wherein the insertion receptacle (14) is open towards the upper side (2) of the shelf element (1), in order to insert the insertion part into the insertion receptacle (14) via the upper side (2).
Shelf element according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the main body (6) has, in the area of its longitudinal-side ends (8, 9), in each case at least one additional coupling location (11), which is configured for coupling to it an add-on part and/or a shelf component and/or a rack component, wherein the at least one coupling location (10) is provided in the area of one limb portion (6.1) and the at least one additional coupling location (11) is provided in the area of the other limb portion (6.2) of the main body (6).
Shelf element according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one coupling location (10) has a projection extending longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of the main body (6) or a recess (19) extending longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of the main body (6).
Shelf element according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the shelf element (1) is made of an extruded profile (40) and is a metal part, in particular an aluminum part.
Shelf element (1) for a shelf system of a rack, the shelf element (1) comprising an upper side (2), an underside (3) and an elongated main body (6), wherein the main body (6), as seen in cross-section, has two limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and an intermediate portion (6.3) located therebetween, and the intermediate portion (6.3) is assigned to the upper side (2) of the shelf element (30), wherein the main body (6) also has at least one through-passage opening (7) that passes through at least one of the limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and/or the intermediate portion (6.3) transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent of the main body (6), and wherein at least one coupling location (10) is provided in each case in the area of the longitudinal-side ends (8, 9) of the shelf element (1), which coupling location (10) is configured to couple an add-on part and/or a shelf component and/or a rack component, characterized in that a separate reinforcing element (50) is assigned to the main body (6), in order to reinforce the main body (6) preferably against forces acting transversely with respect to its longitudinal extent.
Extruded profile (40) for producing a shelf element (1) according to one of the preceding claims, the extruded profile (40) comprising an upper side (2), an underside (3) and an elongated main body (6), wherein the main body (6), as seen in cross-section, has two limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and an intermediate portion (6.3) located therebetween, and the intermediate portion (6.3) is assigned to the upper side (2) of the extruded profile, and wherein at least one coupling location (10) is provided in each case in the area of the longitudinal-side ends (8, 9) of the extruded profile for coupling an add-on part and/or a shelf component and/or a rack component, characterized in that at least one rib (12) is provided, which is assigned to the intermediate portion (6.3) and has a longitudinal extent in the longitudinal direction of the main body (6).
