DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The embodiment, shown in FIG. 1, of a furniture system 1 according to the invention shows two mounting rails 17 which are arranged so as to be oriented perpendicularly and so as to be mutually parallel. Preferably, but not essentially, said mounting rails can be fastened or designed so as to be able to be fastened to a rear wall or wall.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the mounting rails 17 comprise, on the front side 17d thereof, a plurality of openings 17a that are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rails 17. Suspension portions 18b, 19b connected to stockage elements 18, 19 can be suspended in the openings 17a.

[0026] The mounting rails 17 are provided with a rear wall 13 which extends substantially in the vertical direction. In this case, the height of the rear wall 13 corresponds approximately to the length of the mounting rails 17, the width of the rear wall 13 is designed such that it covers the mounting rail 17 to such an extent that the openings 17a for the suspension portions 18b, 19b remain accessible. In this case, the rear wall 13 can rest on the mounting rails 17 or be fastened thereto. In each case a preferably strip-like rear wall side part 16 is arranged in parallel with the two longitudinal narrow sides of the rear wall 13. Said rear wall side parts in each case rest on one of the mounting rails 17 or are fastened thereto. In this case, the two rear wall side parts 16 are arranged such that in each case a gap 20 is formed between the longitudinal narrow side of the rear wall 13 and the longitudinal narrow side of the rear wall side part 16, as is shown in FIG. 2. Together with the mounting rails 17, the rear wall 13, together with the rear wall side parts 16, forms the rear face of the furniture system 1.

[0027] During assembly, the suspension portions 18b, 19b of the stockage elements 18, 19 are suspended in the openings 17a of the mounting rails 17, through the slits 20. In this case, the stockage elements 19 can be shelf bottoms which are arranged on carrier elements 19a with the suspension portions 19b. Stockage elements 18 are also conceivable which have a carcass around the stockage region, it being possible for the stockage region to be opened for example by means of a drawer or a door. Furthermore, the stockage element 18, 19 may also be a carrier for a technical element, such as a kitchen device.

[0028] FIGS. 3 and 4 show a part of a furniture wall system 1 according to the invention, in which the rear face consists of the mounting rails 17, the rear wall 13, and the rear wall side parts 16. Various stockage elements 18, 19 are suspended in the mounting rails. Fastening portions 21 are arranged obliquely to the longitudinal extension of the rear wall side parts 16, drilled holes being made in the rear wall side parts 16, in which holes fastening elements can be received. In this case, the fastening elements are preferably expansion and/or eccentric dowels.

[0029] Said fastening portions 21 make it possible for the carcass side parts 11, 12, shown in FIG. 1, to be attached, in conventional form, to the rear wall side parts 16. The two carcass side parts 11, 12 are connected to a carcass upper part 14 in the upper region, and to a carcass lower part 15 in the lower region. The embodiment of the furniture wall system 1 shown here is equipped with a carcass front part 10, the carcass front part 10 being designed as a door. It is not necessary to form a carcass front part 10 integrally, but it is also conceivable to provide a plurality of doors as carcass front parts 10, in order to open just one part of the front in each case. It is also possible for the carcass front part 10 to consist of drawer face plates or a mixture of the two.

[0030] FIG. 5 shows the top portion of a rear face of a furniture system 1 according to the invention. The mounting rails 17 which are attached to a wall (not shown) or merely connect the rear wall 13 to the rear wall side parts 16 comprise, on the front side 17d, a plurality of openings 17a which are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rails 17, and in which the suspension portions 18b, 19b of the stockage elements 18, 19 can be suspended. A plurality of retaining elements, in a double row, in each case, is arranged on the sides 17b, 17c. The retaining elements are preferably threaded holes which serve to fix the fastening elements 22, 23 which are arranged on the rear wall 13 or on the rear wall side parts 16. In the case of the rear wall 13, all that is required, during fixing, is to prevent sliding downwards. The fastening elements 23, which are designed here, by way of example, as fastening angles, prevent lateral displacement by way of support on the mounting rails 17, while the stockage elements 18, 19 fix the rear wall to the mounting rails 17 in the depth direction. It is thus possible, according to a preferred embodiment, to provide the parts of the fastening elements 23 resting on the sides 17b, 17c with lugs which latch into the retaining elements upon mounting, and thus prevent the rear wall 13 from sliding. This is advantageous insofar as, during mounting, the fastening elements 23 are accessible for mounting tools only via the gap formed at the upper edge 13 of the rear face 13, with the wall.

[0031] Since the rear wall side parts 16 cannot be clamped between two mounting rails 17, it is recommended to screw the fastening elements 22 to retaining elements of the sides 17b, 17c of the mounting rails 17.

[0032] A furniture system 1 according to the invention can be designed in a very flexible manner, and thus opens up a high degree of variability of use, it being able to be fitted in well, optically, in existing situations.
