Substructure as a supporting construction for a display wall

Abstract

The substructure serves as a supporting construction for a display wall with a multiplicity of systematically attached carrying devices ( 5,6 ), which are intended for the direct or indirect suspension of articles or for the securement of a shelf. A carrying device ( 5,6 ) is formed by a holder ( 5 ) fixedly attached to a supporting means ( 1 ), a sleeve ( 6 ) which is fitted in the holder ( 5 ) through its insert receptacle ( 53 ) on the front side and a carrying arm which can be inserted in the sleeve ( 6 ) through its insert receptacle ( 63 ) on the front side in such a way that it can be arrested. A carrying arm can be used individually as a means of suspension or it acts together with at least one adjacently positioned carrying arm to support a shelf or a transverse bar which can be used as a carrier for the goods that are for example to be presented. The supporting means ( 1 ) is formed by hollow vertical supports ( 1 ) with clearances ( 150 ) respectively provided on the surface ( 15 ) that is directed into the room for fitting in the holders ( 5 ). The vertical supports ( 1 ) are fastened to a carrying structure (T), for example a rear wall of a building. A covering panel ( 9 ) with clearances ( 92 ) which lie congruently in relation to the insert receptacles ( 53 ) of the attached holders ( 5 ) is placed in front of the vertical supports ( 1 ).

       2 . The substructure as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that 
 a) a number of vertical supports ( 1 ), preferably set up equidistantly from one another, are arranged, with adjacent vertical supports ( 1 ) being connected to one another by transverse supports ( 2 );    b) the vertical supports ( 1 ) comprise hollow polyhedral profiles, preferably with a rectangular or square cross section;    c) arranged underneath the vertical supports ( 1 ), on the floor (B), and above the vertical supports ( 1 ), in each case horizontally in the plane defined by the vertical supports ( 1 ), there is a first framework profile ( 3 , 3 ′);    d) fitted into the first framework profiles ( 3 , 3 ′) vertically and adjacent the vertical supports ( 1 ) are second framework profiles ( 4 );    e) the holders ( 5 ) have a substantially horizontally extending housing ( 50 ) and, emerging from it, a vertically extending flange plate ( 55 );    f) in the mounted state, the flange plates ( 55 ) are fastened on the surfaces ( 15 ) that are directed into the room of the vertical supports ( 1 ); and    g) the surfaces ( 15 ) that are directed into the room of the vertical supports ( 1 ) or the front surfaces ( 550 ) of the flange plates ( 55 ) form with the side surfaces ( 45 ) that are directed into the room of the second framework profiles ( 4 ) the bearing for the rear side ( 91 ) of the joined-on panel ( 9 ).    
   
   
       3 . The substructure as claimed in at least one of claims  1  and  2 , characterized in that 
 a) the lower, first framework profile ( 3 ) has an upwardly open U-shaped cross section and the upper, first framework profile ( 3 ′) is likewise of a U-shaped cross section, but with the open side arranged downward;    b) the second framework profile ( 4 ) is of a U-shaped cross section, with the open side arranged such that it lies in the plane of the vertical supports ( 1 ); and    c) the vertical supports ( 1 ) are provided at the lower end ( 10 ) with a leveling element ( 170 ) for height adjustment.    
   
   
       4 . The substructure as claimed in at least one of  claims 1  to  3 , characterized in that 
 a) extending from the individual clearance ( 150 ) are slots ( 151 , 151 ′), for which there are on the rear surface ( 551 ) of the flange plate ( 55 ), which is divided into a downward part ( 56 ) and an upward part ( 56 ′), complementary ribs ( 54 ), which in the mounted state come to lie in the slots ( 151 , 151 ′);    b) the vertical plane of the flange plate ( 55 ) divides the housing ( 50 ) into a front portion ( 51 ) and a rear portion ( 52 ); and    c) in the mounted state, the rear portion ( 52 ) protrudes into the interior of the vertical support ( 1 ), while the front portion ( 51 ) comes to lie in the clearance ( 92 ) in the panel ( 9 ).    
   
   
       5 . The substructure as claimed in at least one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterized in that 
 a) on the vertical supports ( 1 ), preferably on the surfaces ( 15 ) that are directed into the room, there is a fixed leveling marking ( 18 ) for positional determination;    b) a fixed leveling marking ( 58 ) for positional determination is present on the front surface ( 550 ) of the flange plate ( 55 ) of the holders ( 5 ); and    c) in the corner regions of the front surface ( 510 ) of the front portion ( 51 ) of the holder ( 5 ) there are marking lugs ( 511 ), which are intended for the purpose of leaving impressions on the rear side ( 91 ) of the panel ( 9 ) when it is laid in place, for cutting the clearances ( 92 ) to the correct size.    
   
   
       6 . The substructure as claimed in at least one of  claims 1  to  5 , characterized in that the sleeve ( 6 ) 
 a) has a frame ( 65 ), which surrounds the insert receptacle ( 63 ) in the manner of a window and in the fitted-in state covers over the cut edge of the respectively occupied clearance ( 92 ); and    b) has connecting means ( 69 ), preferably screws ( 69 ), which are intended for fastening the sleeve ( 6 ) pushed into the holder ( 5 ); and    c) has on the inside arresting elements ( 61 ), which interact with complementary mating contours on the carrying arm to be introduced into the sleeve ( 6 ) through its insert receptacle ( 63 ).    
   
   
       7 . The substructure as claimed in at least one of  claims 1  to  6 , characterized in that 
 a) a transverse support ( 2 ) has a central strut piece ( 20 ) and brackets ( 21 ) attached to both sides thereof; and    b) the brackets ( 21 ) are intended for fastening on the inner surfaces ( 11 , 14 ) of adjacent vertical supports ( 1 ) and the strut pieces ( 20 ) thereby engage behind the second framework profiles ( 4 ).    
   
   
       8 . The substructure as claimed in at least one of  claims 1  to  7 , characterized in that
