Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 140 words
Device for the detachable anchoring of a merchandise deposit base on a column, which has recesses, of an indoor furnishing system having a connection plate, which carries on the back side fastening elements engaging in the recesses and is provided on the front side with a pan-shaped support device open toward the top, and having a carrier disk with a circular outline for the merchandise deposit base which can be inserted in the support device at a selectable slant around its longitudinal axis relative to the horizontal and is secured by locking means, characterized by the fact that the carrier disk is a circular disk and that the locking means consists of at least one projection on the support device and of several recesses on the periphery of the carrier disk each of proper size for selectively receiving said projection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 140 words
Device for the detachable anchoring of a merchandise deposit base on a column, which has recesses, of an indoor furnishing system having a connection plate, which carries on the back side fastening elements engaging in the recesses and is provided on the front side with a pan-shaped support device open toward the top, and having a carrier disk with a circular outline for the merchandise deposit base which can be inserted in the support device at a selectable slant around its longitudinal axis relative to the horizontal and is secured by locking means, characterized by the fact that the carrier disk is a circular disk and that the locking means consists of at least one projection on the support device and of several recesses on the periphery of the carrier disk each of proper size for selectively receiving said projection.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
Device as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the recesses are made as bores.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 38 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim 53 words
Device that depends from any of claims 1, 2 and 3, characterized by the fact that the carrier disk is, by way of a spacing element, connected with a T-support inserted in the merchandise deposit base with the spacing element forming with the T-support a groove for the engaging of the overlapping part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 98 words
Device for the detachable anchoring of a merchandise deposit base on a column, which has recesses, of an indoor furnishing system having a connection plate, which carries on the back side fastening elements engaging in the recesses and is provided on the front side with a pan-shaped support device open toward the top, and having a polygonal carrier plate which can be inserted in the support device at a secured selectable slant around its longitudinal axis relative to the horizontal, characterized by the fact that the support device has a radial overlapping part holding the carrier disk axially.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 98 words
Device for the detachable anchoring of a merchandise deposit base on a column, which has recesses, of an indoor furnishing system having a connection plate, which carries on the back side fastening elements engaging in the recesses and is provided on the front side with a pan-shaped support device open toward the top, and having a polygonal carrier plate which can be inserted in the support device at a secured selectable slant around its longitudinal axis relative to the horizontal, characterized by the fact that the support device has a radial overlapping part holding the carrier disk axially.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 34 words
Device as defined in claim 5, characterized by the fact that the overlapping part is designed as a rib protruding radially inward and that the carrier disk has a groove running around its periphery.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 36 words
