Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1066774A1] The shelf has pairs of angle profiles (2) arranged at front and rear vertical supports (3), which extend along the depth of the shelf and support the side surfaces of the supports with facing vertical profile parts (5). A common clamp element (6) on a longitudinal section between the supports is evenly fitted on both angle profiles. The clamp element has vertical flange sections (9) on both sides of a bridge part (7) bridging the space between the angle profiles. The inner sides of the flange sections each support an outer surface (18) of an angle profile.
