Shelf Element

Abstract

A shelf element which is intended to be incorporated in a shelf contains, at each of its corners, an angular profile ( 1 ) whose upper and/or lower ends are to be connected to a similar angular profile ( 1 ). The shelf element contains at least one plate element ( 2 ). The plate element ( 2 ) is cut out at the corners in such a way that an angular profile (I) of another shelf element can be inserted into the angle between the two limbs ( 8 ) of the angular profile ( 1 ) without being disturbed by the plate element ( 2 ).

1 . Shelf element having
 at least two vertical angular profiles ( 1 ),   whose top ( 9 ) and/or bottom ends are designed to connect with a vertically adjoining shelf element, and having   at least one of a top and a bottom panel element ( 2 ) extending between the angular profiles ( 1 ),   said panel element being designed in the area of least one corner facing an angular profile ( 1 ) so that the space between the legs ( 8 ) of the angular profile ( 1 ) remains free by at least the cross-sectional shape and cross-sectional dimension of an angular profile ( 1 ).   
     
     
         2 . Shelf element, especially according to  claim 1 , having
 at least two vertical angular profiles ( 1 ),   whose top ( 9 ) and/or bottom ends are designed to connect with a vertically adjoining shelf element, and having   at least one side wall ( 3 ,  4 ) that   is fastened to the inside of a leg ( 8 ) of at least one angular profile ( 1 ), and   having a cutout ( 15 ) at the junction with the angular profile ( 1 ) at its top side and/or its bottom side,   and the height of said cutout corresponds to the desired overlapping section of the angular profile with the angular profile of the adjoining shelf element.   
     
     
         3 . Shelf element according to  claim 2 , wherein the cutout ( 15 ) together with the edge ( 19 ) of the leg ( 8 ) of the angular profile ( 1 ) forms a slot corresponding at least approximately to the thickness of the leg ( 8 ) of the angular profile. 
     
     
         4 . Shelf element according to  claim 1 , wherein the panel element ( 2 ) is beveled in at least one corner area. 
     
     
         5 . Shelf element according to  claim 1 , with four angular profiles ( 1 ), and the panel element is designed to leave free space in the area of the angular profiles ( 1 ) at one of the front of the shelf element and the rear of the shelf element. 
     
     
         6 . Shelf element according to  claim 2 , wherein the cutout ( 15 ) in the side wall ( 3 ,  4 ) is provided at one of the angular profiles ( 1 ) at the front and/or at the angular profiles ( 1   h ) of the rear. 
     
     
         7 . Shelf element according to  claim 6 , having a rear wall that is fastened at the inside of the leg ( 8 ) of both angular profiles ( 1   h ) in the area of the rear and has cutout at the junction with the angular profiles ( 1   h ) at its top and/or its bottom, the height of which corresponds to the desired overlapping path of the angular profile ( 1 ) with the angular profile ( 1 ) of the adjoining shelf element. 
     
     
         8 . Shelf element according to  claim 7 , wherein the cutout together with the edge of the leg ( 8 ) of the angular profile ( 1   h ) forms a slot corresponding to approximately the thickness of the leg ( 8 ) of the angular profile ( 1   h ) at the minimum. 
     
     
         9 . Shelf element according to  claim 8  that is designed as a cabinet unit having a door ( 5 ) at the front.
