Connector for plates, particularly for shelves or trays
A connector for plates, particularly for shelves or trays, includes a mounting member which is insertable into a recess of a first part, wherein a fastening member for a second part is insertable into the mounting member approximately in axial direction. A bolt or the like which is rotatable between a release position and a locking position is mounted in the mounting member, wherein a support member is provided between the bolt and the wall of the mounting member on the circumference of the bolt, and wherein the bolt and/or the support member have for pressing against each other a particularly arc-shaped thickened portion or at least a partially eccentric configuration.
1. A connector for plates, the connector comprising a mounting member insertable into a recess of a first part, a fastening member connected to a second part, the fastening member comprising a leg, a coverplate having an arcuate support member with a partially eccentric configuration and being insertable approximately in an axial direction into the mounting member, further comprising a bolt which is rotatable between a released position and a locked position, the support member being arranged on a circumference of the bolt between the bolt and a wall of the mounting member, and wherein the fastening member is inserted into the mounting member, wherein at least part of the bolt and the support member have a mutual contact pressure, wherein the bolt has a flange resting against a lower edge of the support member, wherein the flange has an inclination against the direction of rotation of the bolt into the locking position.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the support member is an arc-shaped wall portion which is approximately axially directed and partially surrounds the bolt.
3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting member is approximately tubular and has at least one partial slot extending in the axial direction.
4. The connector according to claim 3 , wherein the mounting member has at edges of the slot inclined dovetail-shaped guide grooves which extend downwardly and inwardly for receiving the fastening member.
5. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the bolt has at a lower end thereof a bearing pin with locking disk and the transverse bottom has a corresponding recess, wherein the locking disk engages under the transverse bottom at least in the locking position of the bolt, wherein the mounting member has a transverse bottom for supporting the bolt.
6. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein the transverse bottom is supported by an axially extending transverse wall.
7. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein the cover plate protrudes beyond the mounting member, the cover plate having a leg extending perpendicularly of the cover plate and insertable into the guide grooves of the mounting member, wherein the leg has the pin which extends approximately transversely of a longitudinal direction thereof.
8. The connector according to claim 7 , wherein the cover plate has an opening and the bolt has at an end opposite the pin one or more slots for an engagement of a tool.
9. The Connector according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting member has at least on laterally protruding plate-shaped wing with recess for a screw which rests on one of the plates to be fastened.
10. A connector for plates, the connector comprising a mounting member insertable into a recess of a first part, a fastening member connected to a second part, the fastening member comprising a leg, a cover plate having an arcuate support member with a partially eccentric configuration and being insertable approximately in an axial direction into the mounting member, further comprising a bolt which is rotatable between a released position and a locked position, the support member being arranged on a circumference of the bolt between the bolt and a wall of the mounting member, and wherein the fastening member is inserted into the mounting member, wherein at least part of the bolt and the support member have for a mutual contact pressure, wherein the bolt has a flange resting against a lower edge of the support member, wherein the fastening member has a pin extending in the mounting member to the bolt approximately transversely of a longitudinal axis thereof.
11. The connector according to claim 10 , wherein the bolt has a stop interacting with the pin for limiting the direction of rotation of the bolt past the locking position thereof.
12. The connector according to claim 10 , wherein the pin is located underneath the flange of the bolt.
