Shelf

Abstract

A shelf includes a bearing region and a supporting region connected to and extending parallel to the bearing region. The supporting region includes a supporting profile. The supporting profile has a first leg extending substantially parallel to the bearing region. The first leg includes at least two parallel sections. The supporting profile also includes a second leg extending from the bearing region to the first leg. The second leg includes at least two parallel sections.

       11 . A shelf, comprising:
 a bearing region; and   at least one supporting region connected to and extending parallel to the bearing region, wherein the at least one supporting region comprises at least one supporting profile comprising   a first leg extending substantially parallel to the bearing region, the first leg comprising at least two parallel sections, and   a second leg extending from the bearing region to the first leg, the second leg comprising at least two parallel sections,   wherein the first and second legs form a “T” in cross-section.   
   
   
       12 . The shelf of claim  1 , wherein the at least two parallel sections of at least one of the first and second legs are rest against each other and are connected to each other. 
   
   
       13 . The shelf of claim  1 , wherein the supporting profile is formed integrally with the bearing region. 
   
   
       14 . The shelf of claim  1 , wherein each of the parallel sections are at least one of roll formed or edge bent. 
   
   
       15 . The shelf of claim  1 , wherein the supporting profile extends substantially thereacross. 
   
   
       16 . The shelf of claim  1 , wherein the second leg extends substantially perpendicular to the first leg. 
   
   
       17 . The shelf of claim  1 , wherein the shelf is made from one piece of metal sheet. 
   
   
       18 . The shelf of claim  1 , further comprising:
 a filling element disposed in a joint formed in the bearing region at an upper end of the at least two parallel sections that form the second leg.   
   
   
       19 . The shelf of claim  1 , wherein the at least one supporting region comprises a plurality of supporting profiles.
