Abstract

The frame can be fitted with shock absorbers or oscillation dampers and is resistant against corrosion by solvents. It can be used for a variety of purposes and situations and can readily be adapted to different configurations. It is particularly intended for use in the chemical industry. The transverse (I) and longitudinal (2) members are made from C profile section. The transverse members have feet (3) with adjustable height and there are detachable clamps (9) which fit in slots (10) in the C profile sections. The feet (3) have extensions (6) on the floor side (5) which can provide rigid, shock absorbing or oscillation damping connection to the floors.

Description

"All-purpose frame in modular form"

The invention relates to an all-purpose frame in modular form.

In many areas of technology, it is necessary to store components or assemblies on racks. With storage is often connected to the fact that the storage should be either stationary or mobile. Come in addition nor the requirement that sometimes a sound-absorbing or vibration-damping mounting is desired. It is too Sometimes it is necessary, especially in the chemical industry, to make the bearing elements resistant to solvents.

-The previously known types of frame are structurally like this built so that they can only be used for a specific purpose are. They also consist of one piece and are limited in their adjustability. This has the disadvantage that for the different areas of application each have special frame structures must be made, which inevitably leads to considerable costs in the production and also in selling leads. In addition, a large inventory is required because the individual types of frame too Types must be grouped and stored.

The present invention has therefore set itself the task of solving the problems identified at the beginning with frameworks

ORIGINAL INSPECTED

set to solve by a so-called all-purpose frame in modular form, the all-purpose frame is constructed in such a way that the individual parts can be used in a number of types of frame by certain composition is possible.

To solve this problem, an all-purpose frame in modular form is proposed according to the invention, which is characterized by cross members and longitudinal members made of C-profiles, the cross members being adjustable in height Feet are supported and the side members and cross members over in the slot of the C-profiles of the cross members guided releasable clamping elements are connected to one another.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is also proposed that the height-adjustable Feet are provided at their bottom ends with elements for a rigid floor connection, which is optional sound-absorbing and / or vibration-damping Elements can be assigned.

Another preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the height-adjustable feet on their ends with sound-absorbing and / or vibration-absorbing and / or fastening-free ends Elements can be provided.

In order to use the invention of the general-purpose frame according to the invention in the form of a kit in the chemical industry also being able to use it for this purpose

609825/0079

suggested the height-adjustable feet on the bottom End with solvent-resistant elements.

For such purposes there is according to the invention but also the possibility that the height-adjustable feet at the bottom end with solvent-resistant Elements are provided that dampen sound and / or vibration however, elements end directly at the point where the foot is attached to the cross member can be provided. * -

It is also possible to design the feet so that the frame is a movable unit represents.

To the general purpose frame according to the invention in To give modular form when reaching a certain height, an additional lateral stability, sees the invention also provides that the feet by cross-beam and / or long-bearer-pärallelle and / or diagonal auxiliary struts are connected to each other.

The advantage of the general-purpose frame according to the invention is achieved is that it consists of individual, independent elements, the put together the frame. The individual elements can for their part be put together in such a way that that larger, and smaller, low and high frames- ^ Frames are created without the basic elements

in principle be left. This has the particular advantage of simple production and storage. The frame according to the invention, or his Elements can be stored in the smallest of spaces and also brought to the place of use in this form. This results in considerable cost advantages that. the well-known, generally bulky frame racks, are not given. Another advantage is given that an adjustment of the invention Frame can be made in three levels.

Based on the figures shown in the drawings, the invention is based on various exemplary embodiments described in more detail. Show it:

The all-purpose frame according to the invention consists of cross members 1 and longitudinal members 2 made of C-profile. The cross members 1 are supported on height-adjustable feet 3. The feet 3 in turn consist of one with right-hand and left-hand thread provided screw body 4, bottom parts 5, which, such. B. that The embodiment of Fig. 1. shows with sound-absorbing and / or vibration-damping elements 6 are provided. Below the cross member 1 are at the ends Receiving sleeves 7 for the feet 3 attached. The sleeves 7 are provided with internal threads, so that the screw body 4 can be screwed in there. In the same way when connecting the screw body 4 proceed with the bottom part 5. To hold the screw body 4 each serve Lock nuts 8 or 8a.

The attachment of the longitudinal beams 2 on the cross members is carried out via clamping elements 9, the structure of which is from the Fig. 2 can be seen in detail. The clamping element 9, .11 is in the slot 10 of the C-profiles Cross member 1 out. The clamping elements themselves consist of a lever 11, which with its fork-shaped free end 11 a comprises a pin 11 b welded to the longitudinal beam 2. The pin 11 b has a curved support surface 11 c. At 12, the lever 11 rests against the cross member 1. Using the Screw connection 13, the respective longitudinal member 2 is braced with the respective cross member 1.

Another embodiment of FIG Invention with regard to vibration and sound-absorbing storage. The part 7 is not directly connected to the cross member 1, but carries a trough-like part 14- which is filled with sound and vibration damping material 15. The cross member 1 in turn is fixedly coupled to a part 16 connected to the vibration and sound-absorbing mass 15. Otherwise, the structure of the frame according to the invention corresponds to that of the Pig. 1.

FIG. 4 shows an alternative to the embodiment of FIG. 1. The feet 3 are connected by cross members and side members parallel and diagonal auxiliary struts 17, 18 and 19. The connection is detachable, so that the advantages already mentioned above are not negated. The diagonal bracing is also possible in a vertical arrangement.

In contrast to FIG. 1, FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the .invention General-purpose frame in which a three-foot support is used instead of a four-foot support finds. This does not leave the basic idea of the invention because the same Construction elements are used. Only in the case of a cross member 1 a, the foot 3 is centered appropriate.
