A rack is presented including a plurality of at least first and second frame pieces adapted to be interconnected, wherein each frame extends along a longitudinal axis. The rack includes a corner connector arranged to interconnect at least the first frame piece and the second frame piece with the longitudinal axes of the first and second interconnected frame pieces arranged obliquely to one another. The rack includes at least first and second bracing units in which, for the purpose of connecting a plurality of frame pieces, the first bracing unit is capable of bracing the first frame piece against the corner connector arranged between the first and second frame pieces to be connected, and the second bracing unit is capable of bracing the second frame piece against the corner connector obliquely to the first frame piece. Each bracing unit includes at least one tensioning element and two force transmission members.

1. A rack, comprising: at least first and second frame pieces adapted to be interconnected, wherein each frame piece extends along a longitudinal axis;a corner connector arranged to interconnect at least the first frame piece and the second frame piece with the longitudinal axes of the first and second interconnected frame pieces arranged obliquely to one another; andthe first frame piece having a first bracing unit and the second frame piece having a second bracing unit in which, for the purpose of connecting a plurality of frame pieces, the first bracing unit is capable of bracing the first frame piece against the corner connector arranged between the first and second frame pieces to be connected, and the second bracing unit is capable of bracing the second frame piece against the corner connector obliquely to the first frame piece, each bracing unit including:a hollow profile having first and second opposite lateral edges, a first receiving flap defined on the first lateral edge, and a second receiving flap defined on the second lateral edge, wherein the first and second receiving flaps are axially aligned with each other, thereby defining a lead-through;at least one tensioning element formed as a separate member from the hollow profile and disposed through the lead-through; andtwo force transmission members which are associated with the tensioning element and which transmit a tensioning force of the tensioning element, which force is effective in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the first frame piece to be braced, to structural components of the rack which are to be braced to each other, so that the tensioning force braces the first frame piece against the at least one second frame piece or against the at least one corner connector,wherein each tensioning element extends axially, substantially over an entire length of the associated first or second frame piece. 2. The rack according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the force transmission members is formed as a separate member and has a supporting section, for support on one structural component of the structural components of the rack which is to be braced, and an engaging section such that the force transmission member can be brought into engagement with the tensioning element for force transmission purposes. 3. The rack according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the force transmission members is constructed integrally on one structural component of the structural components of the rack, which is to be braced. 4. The rack according to claim 1, wherein the tensioning element comprises a bar which is provided with a thread, at least in a region of one of its end sections. 5. The rack according to claim 4, wherein the force transmission members comprise an internal or external thread which corresponds with the thread of the tensioning element. 6. The rack according to claim 1, wherein the corner connector has at least one through-opening for receiving the tensioning element of at least the first frame piece to be connected. 7. The rack according to claim 1, wherein each of the hollow profiles have an identical cross-section. 8. The rack according to claim 1, wherein the hollow profile of a frame piece is brought into a closed profile shape by forming a substantially flat starting material, said hollow profile having a connecting region on the two opposite lateral edges for closing the hollow profile, which connecting region includes the lead-through. 9. The rack according to claim 1, wherein each of the receiving flaps provided on the lateral edges is formed by a flap-shaped projection which extends from a particular lateral edge and is brought into a hook-like or sleeve-like shape. 10. The rack according to claim 1, wherein the corner connector is configured for interconnecting at least two frame pieces, the corner connector having at least one abutment face for each of the frame pieces to be connected. 11. The rack according to claim 10, wherein the corner connector has, on each abutment face, at least one projection or at least one recess, which projection or recess corresponds with a profile cross-section of the hollow profile of the particular frame piece to be connected, and is capable of orientating the particular frame piece, relative to the corner connector, when the frame piece is in a connected condition. 12. The rack according to claim 1, wherein the corner connector comprises at least two separately formed parts which can be interconnected in a detachable manner. 13. The rack according to claim 12, wherein the at least two separately formed parts of the corner connector together enclose a cavity. 14. The rack according to claim 12, wherein the at least two separately formed parts of the corner connector can be interconnected in a detachable manner with the aid of the bracing unit of one of the frame pieces to be connected, the parts of the corner connector which are to be connected having receiving apertures, which are in alignment with one another, for the at least one tensioning element. 15. The rack according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the force transmission members is constructed integrally on the corner connector, which is to be braced.
