Assembly kit for building a rack
An assembly kit for building a rack includes a plurality of longitudinal members to be arranged vertically, a plurality of cross members to be arranged horizontally, a plurality of node elements that connect the longitudinal members and cross members to each other, and a plurality of rails that accommodate rack bottoms, drawers, and the like. The longitudinal members are provided with holes used to hook in the rails on first lateral surfaces of the longitudinal members facing each other, wherein the holes are T-shaped and include breakouts adjacent to the first lateral surfaces. The rails are longer than the open distance of a front longitudinal member from a rear longitudinal member by the depth of the breakouts and are provided with U-shaped folded edges. The width of the vertically extending section of the T-shaped hole corresponds to the length of the free leg of the U-shaped folded edge.
1. An assembly kit for building a rack, comprising:
a plurality of longitudinal members to be arranged vertically for interconnection to a plurality of cross members to be arranged horizontally, and
a plurality of rails configured to accommodate rack bottoms or drawers, wherein:
the longitudinal members are provided with holes used to hook in the rails on first lateral surfaces of the longitudinal members facing each other,
the holes in the longitudinal members define T-shaped holes in top view and include vertically extending sections leading to horizontally extending sections that form breakouts in second lateral surfaces of the longitudinal members, with the second lateral surfaces being adjacent to the first lateral surfaces,
the rails are longer than an open distance between a front longitudinal member from a rear longitudinal member by a depth of the breakouts and are provided with U-shaped folded edges, each of the folded edges including a substantially horizontal portion extending from an upper portion of a respective rail and a substantially vertical portion extending downward from the substantially horizontal portion thereby defining an open width which corresponds to sections remaining in the first lateral surface on both sides of a respective one of the vertically extending sections of the T-shaped holes, and
a width of the vertically extending section of the T-shaped hole corresponds to a length of the substantially vertical portion of the U-shaped folded edge.
2. The assembly kit according to claim 1 , wherein at least one pair of rails is provided with projections that are formed by folding over ends of a bottom of the U-shaped folded edges, with each of the ends having a height which corresponds to a width of the breakouts.
3. The assembly kit according to claim 1 , wherein in one of the longitudinal members the T-shaped hole is formed by two angles whose vertically extending sections extend at a distance from each other.
4. The assembly kit according to claim 2 , wherein in one of the longitudinal members the T-shaped hole is formed by two angles whose vertically extending sections extend at a distance from each other.
5. A rack including comprising:
a plurality of longitudinal members arranged vertically and adapted to be interconnected by a plurality of horizontally arranged cross members, said plurality of longitudinal members including T-shaped holes, a first lateral surface and second lateral surfaces adjacent the first lateral surface, each of said T-shaped holes including a vertically extending section in the first lateral surface leading to a horizontally extending section that forms breakouts in the second lateral surfaces, and
a plurality of rails configured to accommodate rack bottoms or drawers, each of said plurality of rails extending across and being hooked to a respective pair of said plurality of longitudinal members which face each other, while having a length which is longer, by a depth of the breakouts, than a distance between the first lateral surfaces of the pair of said plurality of longitudinal members, each of said plurality of rails being provided with U-shaped folded edges, each of the folded edges defining a free leg extending into the vertically extending section of one of the plurality of longitudinal members and having a width which corresponds to a distance between the vertically extending section of the one of the plurality of longitudinal members and a respective one of the second lateral surfaces.
6. The rack according to claim 5 , wherein at least one pair of said plurality of rails is provided with projections formed by folding over ends of a bottom of the U-shaped folded edges, with each of the ends having a height which corresponds to a vertical dimension of the breakouts.
7. The rack according to claim 6 , wherein, in at least one of the plurality of longitudinal members, the T-shaped hole is formed by two angles including vertically extending sections spaced along the first lateral surface.
8. The rack according to claim 5 , wherein, in at least one of the plurality of longitudinal members, the T-shaped hole is formed by two angles including vertically extending sections spaced along the first lateral surface.
