ORIGINAL INSPECTED

Up until now have been used for the above purposes most advantageously the known drawer boxes are used because of their good accessibility and overview of the contents, especially when using hanging pockets. Although the drawer box is suitable for the purposes mentioned Proven more or less well, however, they have significant shortcomings, which are particularly important when used as a file filing device and sales racks come into their own.

A major disadvantage of the known drawer box is their very unfavorable use of space, since a drawer box always takes up the same amount of space, no matter whether it is only partially or completely filled. Furthermore, the known drawers have the disadvantage that they either cannot be completely removed from the box and / or that they have complicated clamping and guiding devices have, which ensure good sliding of the drawers and at the same time prevent the drawers from hitting the floor tilt if they are pulled out too far. The latter measures lead to a significant increase in the prime costs of the S chubl ad ekas t en.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of an accommodation device of the type mentioned at the beginning Art to create, which with cheaper, space-saving, simple and at the same time durable construction of the above-mentioned defects is exempt.

To solve this problem, the accommodation device according to the invention is characterized by on a vertical support column, horizontally swiveling suspended baskets.

In a preferred embodiment, the baskets are hung in eyelets, which on opposite sides of the Support column are attached.

The support column is preferably equipped with a clamping device by means of which it is between the Pussboden and the ceiling can be pinched.

As a result, the different baskets, depending on use, first one after the other on one side of the support column and can be hung on the other side of the support column when the need increases, the inventive Accommodation device ensures optimal use of space.

Because the baskets are simply in the

If the eyelets are attached to the support column, there is no risk of the baskets being accidentally moved incorrectly fall out. On the other hand, it is very easy to lift the whole basket out to take it with you if necessary To take work place. Because the baskets are suspended from a central support column and not an external wall is required and since, on the other hand, the baskets can be hung very closely one above the other, it is by the invention Accomodation device possible in a certain volume of space up to twice as many objects or To accommodate files than was previously possible.

Since the accommodation device according to the invention is accessible from all sides, the support column can be placed anywhere, e.g. in the middle of a room, be clamped between the floor and the ceiling. In the last pail it is also possible to have more than two, e.g. three baskets to hang on each level of the support column.

-A-

For example, covers consisting of door leaves can be used the suspended baskets can be provided, whereby the aesthetic aspect is adapted to the desired requirements can be.

Because the baskets can be swiveled out more or less, it is possible for two people at the same time use two different baskets hanging on top of each other without hindering each other.

Because the baskets consist of standard ■ baskets and all the support consists of a support column consisting of a simple tube or rod, it is possible to use the one according to the invention TJnt delivery device very cheap to manufacture.

The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the figures.

Show it:

FIG. 1, schematically, a front view of a partially filled accommodation device according to the invention;

FIG. 2, a schematic plan view of an accommodation device according to the invention provided with door leaves, with one swiveled in and one swung out basket,

Figure 3> schematically one to be attached to the support column Eyelet.

A support column 1, which can consist of any tube or rod of any material, is attached to the provided on both ends with two support plates 4, and can by means of a tensioning screw 3 between the ceiling and trapped in the floor. According to an embodiment not shown, however, the support column can also be attached to a wall be attached. Furthermore, instead of being clamped between the ceiling and the floor, the support column can be mounted on a

709810/0893

stand flat with roller support so that the entire housing device is movable.

The support column 1 is provided with eyelets 2 on two opposite sides. These eyelets 2 can either be notched directly from the support column, or as shown in the figure consist of the eyelets 2b, which are notched from an eyelet strip 2a, which are attached to the two long sides of the support column can be attached.

Commercially available boxes or baskets 5 are hung in these eyelets 2 after they have been equipped with suitable hooks 6 have been. These baskets 5 are adapted to the purposes of the storage device according to the invention. They can either consist of a rectangular frame, have solid walls, which are transparent or opaque could be. If the accommodation device is used as a storage device Used for files, the baskets 5, preferably two parallel rails, which from the frame the baskets 5 can exist, in which hanging books or hanging pockets can be hung.

The different baskets are each hung at a corner with the hook 6 in the eyelets 2 so that they can be pivoted in the horizontal direction by at least 90 ° around the support column. So that each basket is both swiveled in as remains in the swiveled-out state, the lower eyelets each have a greater distance from the support column than the top eyelets of every basket.

FIG. 1 shows an example of use of the inventive Housing device shown. On the left side, two full baskets 5 hang on the support column while on the right side of the example shown in Figure 1 hang two empty baskets 5 for future needs. Instead of the To use support column 1 as in Figure 1, it may be useful to first use a column, e.g. the left or the right side the support column to be filled with baskets before placing new baskets on the

-S- 709810/0893

on the other side of the support column 1. In any In this case, the support column 1 need not be fully decorated with empty baskets 5. Rather, these are, depending on requirements, hung one after the other in the eyelets 2, so that an optimal use of space is guaranteed.

Palis it is desired, e.g. for purely aesthetic requirements, the entire device can be pivoted with two Door leaves are covered. In Figure 2, as an example, two such door leaves 8 and 10 by means of door hinges 12 and suspended from the support column 1 so that it can pivot. These door leaves 8 and 10 allow the entire front of the inventive Cover the accommodation device (see closed Position of the door leaf83 8) or to be exposed (see dashed lines Position of the door leaf 10). Each door leaf can either consist of a single one, the height of the support column 1 occupying Unit or of separate elements with the individual baskets 5 corresponding heights exist. The door leaves can made of any material such as wood, metal or plastic and with suitable decorations, not shown or door handles.

It is of course possible to replace the door leaves with other means that conceal the baskets, e.g. Curtains, shutters, etc.

Instead of the 180 ° opening possibility of the door leaves 8 and 10 shown, it is possible to open to be provided, wherein the door leaves 8 and 10 can be hung on the side surfaces of the support column 1. The suspension the door leaves on the accommodation device according to the invention can, as shown in FIG. 2, directly on the support column 1 or on the eyelets 2 or 2b or on the support plates.

The door leaves are preferably held in the closed position by means of springs. In Figure 2 is such Tension spring indicated by 16. This tension spring 16 connects the both door leaves 8 and 10 together over the rear

709810/0893

of the support column 1. It can also be used for each door leaf separate springs are provided. Devices known per se can also be provided, not shown, whereby each door leaf 8, 10 can be kept open against the tensile force of the spring 16.

If the housing device is the suspension of three baskets on each level, i.e. they can be accessed from every direction, three or even six door leaves can be provided. In the latter case, both the front and the rear of each can vertical row of cages.

Of course, changes can be made to the embodiment shown without affecting the frame of the invention is exceeded. For example, a foldable footstep can be provided on the support column 1 so that the upper baskets can be reached better, and / or so that the support column 1 can be fully utilized up to the ceiling. the The support column can, for example, consist of parts that are attached to one another, so that it can be adapted to any ceiling height.

Although the accommodation device according to the invention specifically relating to a filing device has been described, it can be used for all objects that are arranged in any way for the purpose of a good overview Need to become.

Because of the very low purchase price, the optimal use of space, the very large capacity and the good accessibility, the accommodation device according to the invention represents a significant advance compared to the state of the art.
