Abstract

Stacking storage arrangement including at least one container receiving space; a loading space which is arranged below the container receiving space; a frame assembly between the container receiving space and the loading space; and an upright on at least one corner of the container receiving space, which is connected to the frame assembly by at least one connecting device. The connecting device bridges an angle between the frame assembly and the upright and abuts the frame assembly in a clamping manner.

Claims (21)

1 . A stacking storage arrangement comprising:

at least one container receiving space;

a loading space which is arranged below the container receiving space;

a frame assembly between the container receiving space and the loading space; and

an upright on at least one corner of the container receiving space, which is connected to the frame assembly by at least one connecting device,

wherein the connecting device bridges an angle between the frame assembly and the upright and abuts the frame assembly in a clamping manner,

wherein the frame assembly has at least two beams with different thicknesses, and

wherein the connecting device has at least two clamping regions matched to the different thicknesses.

2 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the frame assembly has a recess for each connecting device, in which recess the connecting device engages.

3 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting device engages around a part of the frame assembly in a U-shaped manner.

4 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the frame assembly has beams, the recess is formed as a through-opening in a beam which is connected to an angle element, and a joining element, which connects the beam to the angle element, is accessible via the through-opening.

5 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting device has two connecting elements which abut a region of the frame assembly from opposite sides.

6 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the connecting elements are braced against the frame assembly by at least one threaded pin.

7 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the upright has a rail arrangement in which the connecting device engages.

8 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the rail arrangement has a dovetail profile, and the connecting device has a mating profile that fits in the dovetail profile.

9 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the rail arrangement has two dovetail profiles to which the connecting device is connected.

10 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the connecting device has at least one threaded pin which braces the connecting device with respect to the rail arrangement.

11 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 10 , wherein the connecting device has at least one second threaded pin, which braces the connecting device with respect to the frame assembly.

12 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping regions are formed by recesses of different depths in the connecting device.

13 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping regions are arranged offset along the connecting device.

14 . The stacking storage arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting device is formed with zinc or aluminum die casting as a main component.
