Goods storage rack
A rack for storing goods has supports which extend between crossbeams. The supports are downwardly open profiles having a first and a second side wall. A horizontal wall connects the side walls and forms a goods support. At least one crossbeam has two slots, each with a locking projection that engages in an opening in the respective side wall. The openings are located in short end portions of the side walls. Central portions form a majority length of the side walls. The end portions are separated from the central portions by a slot which extends from the lower edge of the side wall over a portion of the height of the side wall. The end portions have in the direction toward the lower edge thereof a wall extent which in comparison with the wall extent on the central portion is offset in the direction toward the profile center plane.

a first side wall ( 11 ) on one side of a vertical profile center plane (M),
a second side wall ( 12 ) on another side of the vertical profile center plane (M), and
a horizontal wall ( 10 ) which connects the first side wall ( 11 ) and the second side wall ( 12 ),
wherein an upper side of the horizontal wall ( 10 ) forms a goods support ( 10 A),
wherein at least one of the crossbeams has
a crossbeam upper side ( 6 ),
a crossbeam rear wall ( 8 ), and
two slots ( 21 , 22 ) for securing one of the supports ( 5 ),
wherein the two slots ( 21 , 22 ) extend from the crossbeam upper side ( 6 ) into the crossbeam rear wall ( 8 ) and each have a locking projection ( 9 ),
wherein the locking projection ( 9 ), in a locking state, engages in a positive-locking manner in an opening ( 4 ) in the respective side wall ( 11 , 12 ),
wherein the opening ( 4 ) is located in an end portion ( 15 ) of the respective side wall ( 11 , 12 ),
wherein the end portion ( 15 ) is short in comparison with a central portion ( 16 ) which forms a majority length of the respective side wall ( 11 , 12 ),
wherein the end portion ( 15 ) is separated from the central portion ( 16 ) by a slot ( 33 ) which extends from a lower edge ( 34 ) of the respective side wall ( 11 , 12 ) only over a portion of a height of the side wall ( 11 , 12 ) and
wherein the end portion ( 15 ) has in a direction toward the lower edge ( 34 ) thereof a wall extent which in comparison with a wall extent of the central portion ( 16 ) is offset in a direction toward the profile center plane (M).
2. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the wall extent of the end portion ( 15 ) is increasingly offset further in a downward direction in the direction toward the profile center plane (M).
3. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the end portion ( 15 ) comprises
a wall portion ( 14 ) which is arranged at a right-angle with respect to the horizontal wall ( 10 ) and which is in alignment with the central portion ( 16 ) and
the offset wall extent.
4. The rack as claimed in claim 3 ,
wherein the slot ( 33 ) extends as far as a height of the wall portion ( 14 ) which is in alignment with the central portion ( 16 ).
5. The rack as claimed in claim 3 ,
wherein the opening ( 4 ) is mostly located in the wall extent which is offset in the direction toward the profile center plane (M) and extends upward into the wall portion ( 14 ) which is in alignment with the central portion ( 16 ).
6. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the offset wall extent is composed of a sequence of wall portions ( 15 a , 15 b , 15 c ) which are arranged one above the other and which merge into each other along folding or bending lines.
7. The rack as claimed in claim 6 ,
wherein the opening ( 4 ) extends at least over an entire height of an uppermost wall portion ( 15 a ) of the wall portions ( 15 a , 15 b , 15 c ) which are arranged one above the other.
8. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein on the end portion ( 15 ) the lower edge ( 34 ), starting from the slot ( 33 ), initially extends horizontally and then as an obliquely rising edge ( 37 ).
9. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the horizontal wall ( 10 ) of the support ( 5 ) merges at the end thereof facing the crossbeam ( 2 , 3 ) into a declining chamfer ( 35 ).
10. The rack as claimed in claim 9 ,
wherein the crossbeam upper side ( 6 ) is composed of a horizontal face and an oblique face ( 13 ) which is adjacent in the direction toward the crossbeam rear wall ( 8 ).
11. The rack as claimed in claim 10 ,
wherein the chamfer ( 35 ) which is formed on the support ( 5 ) meets the oblique face ( 13 ) which is formed on the crossbeam upper side ( 6 ) at an angle between 20° and 60°.
12. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the side walls ( 11 , 12 ) in a longitudinal direction of the supports ( 5 ) are composed of
the end portion ( 15 ),
the central portion ( 16 ) which follows the slot ( 33 ), and
an additional end portion ( 17 ) at another end of the support ( 5 ).
13. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the side wall ( 11 , 12 ) of the central portion ( 16 ) has a greater height than of the end portion ( 15 ).
14. The rack as claimed in claim 12 ,
wherein the side wall ( 11 , 12 ) of the central portion ( 16 ) has a greater height than of the end portion ( 15 ) and of the additional end portion ( 17 ).
15. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the locking projections ( 9 ) of the two slots ( 21 , 22 ) are orientated toward each other.
16. The rack as claimed in claim 15 ,
wherein for supporting the support ( 5 ) on the crossbeam ( 2 , 3 ) on each locking projection ( 9 ) there is formed a support face ( 9 A) which is directed toward the crossbeam upper side ( 6 ) and on which the edge ( 4 a ) of the respective opening ( 4 ) is supported.
17. The rack as claimed in claim 15 ,
wherein the crossbeam rear wall ( 8 ) in order to form the slots ( 21 , 22 ) is provided with punched-out portions, which define contours of the two locking projections ( 9 ) and
wherein mutually facing portions of the contours are chamfers, a largest spacing (A 1 ) of which with respect to each other is greater than a spacing (A 2 ) which the lower edges ( 34 ) of the end portions ( 15 ) have with respect to each other.
18. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the crossbeam ( 2 ) has a crossbeam front side ( 50 ) which is integral with a wheel guide ( 51 ) in the form of a channel-like rail.
19. The rack as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the support ( 5 ) has an edge ( 80 ) which protrudes over the horizontal goods support ( 10 A) and which extends longitudinally with respect to the goods support ( 10 A) over an entire length of the support ( 5 ).
