Suspension arrangement

Abstract

There is described a suspension arrangement ( 1 ) comprising a plate ( 2 ). The plate is provided with grooves ( 17 ) at the bottom of which there are holes ( 20 ) and may be used for supporting a shelf support holder ( 83 ). At the back side, the plate is provided with mounting fittings ( 22 ) that interact with vertical support members ( 21 ). The grooves communicate with holes ( 20 ) along part of their length, the holes opening at the back side. The suspension fittings may hereby be mounted so that they extend through a hole ( 20 ) and bears with a first support part against the back side of the plate ( 2 ) and a second support part that bears against the bottom of the groove ( 17 ). As the grooves ( 17 ) may be disposed with arbitrary spacing, it becomes possible to dispose suspension fitting with very great flexibility with regard to mutual spacing and level on the plate.

1 . Suspension arrangement including a plate with means for mounting suspension fittings which plate is provided at its front side with grooves that along a part of their extension communicate with holes that open on the back side, as the suspension fittings are mounted extending through a hole for supporting with a first support member on the back side and with a second support member supporting against the bottom of the groove side and which plate has a front side from which the suspension fittings are projecting, wherein the plate has a back side on which mounting means of the plate are disposed, and wherein the mounting means of the plate interact with coupling means on a support.  
   
   
       2 . Suspension arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the holes are formed as drillings extending from the back side and partly through the plate to a position approximately at the bottom of the grooves.  
   
   
       3 . Suspension arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the plate is formed as a laminated sheet with the grooves formed between juxtaposed elongated front side plates.  
   
   
       4 . Suspension arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the grooves have a width between 3 and 8 mm, preferably between 4 and 6 mm, that the grooves have a depth between 3 and 8 mm, preferably between 4 and 6 mm, and that the spacing between juxtaposed grooves is between 60 and 200 mm, preferably between 80 and 100 mm.  
   
   
       5 . Suspension arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the front side of the plate is provided with an image formed at the surface of the front side and at the bottom face of the grooves.  
   
   
       6 . Suspension arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the coupling means of the support and/or plate include interacting hook-shaped projections.  
   
   
       7 . Suspension arrangement according to  claim 6 , characterised in that the coupling means of the plate are formed on angular reinforcement sections fastened over the length of the plate.  
   
   
       8 . Method for making a suspension arrangement including a plate with means for mounting suspension fittings which plate is provided at its front side with grooves that along a part of their extension communicate with holes that open on the back side, as the suspension fittings are mounted extending through a hole for supporting with a first support member on the back side and with a second support member supporting against the bottom of the groove side and which plate has a front side from which the suspension fittings are projecting, wherein the plate is made with a back side on which mounting means of the plate are disposed, and wherein the mounting means of the plate is made to interact with coupling means on a support.  
   
   
       9 . Method according to  claim 8 , characterised in that holes are drilled in the plate, the holes extending from the back side and partly through the plate to a position approximately at the bottom of the grooves.  
   
   
       10 . Method according to  claim 8 , characterised in that the front side of the plate is provided with an image formed at the surface of the front side and at the bottom face of the grooves, as the image is preferably produced by an inkjet printer.
