Abstract

Title: A Pallet Shelf System Abstract of the Disclosure The invention relates to a pallet shelf system in the form of horizontal I-profiles. The profiles are secured to vertical posts by means of fittings comprising a plate portion of almost the same height as the body portion of the profile. This plate portion com-prises at its lower ridge relatively large projections and at its upper ridge relatively small projections, said projections being disposable in corresponding openings in the flanges of the profile.
As a result the profile and the fitting secured to the profile are capable of standing a high torque load.

Description

-, lOt~
The invention re]ates to a pallet shelf system, i.e.
a shelf system which usually must stand rather heavy loads, in the form of horizontal profiles, preferably I-profiles secured to vertical posts by means o~ fittings, each fittlng comprising a plate portion of almost the same height as the body portion of the profile.
It is known to weld the fittings to the prafiles. It is, however, desired to avoid this welding, partly because the welding is an extra working operation demanding particular equip-ment, partly because such a welding must be made by the factory.
U.S. Patent specification No. 3,625,372 to MacKenziediscloses a manner of avoiding this welding. The fittings are, however, according to this specification secured to the profile by means of bolts. By such a securing the bolts are arranged in such manner that they do not increase the resisting moment particularly in the joining between the profile and the fitting.
The pallet shelf system according to the invention is characterized by a pallet shelf system comprising a plurality of generally horizontal profile members having respective flanges and secured to generally vertical posts by means of fittings, each fitting comprising a plate portion of approximately the same height as a body portion of a respective profile member, the plate portion having upper and lower ridge portions bearing respective projections of different sizes, the projections being disposed for reception in corresponding openings in the flanges to secure the fitting to the profile member.
It is preferred that the plate system is provided with two projections at both the upper and the lower ridge.
The invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a partial view of an I-profile for a pallet shelf system according to the invention, Fig. 2 illustrates the fitting for the securing of the profile to a vertical post, and ~7 ~

Fig. 3 is a partial view of the pos-t.
The pallet shelf system according to the invention comprises a plurality of horizontal profiles, preferably I-profiles secured to~vertical pos-ts 14 by means of the fittings illustrated in Fig. 2.
Each fitting comprises a plate portion 2 of almost the same height as the body portion 4 of the profile. The plate portion 2 comprises at ,ts lower ridge relatively large projections 6 and at its upper ridge relatively small projections 8. The relatively large projections 6 are initially disposed in corresponding openings 10 in the lower flange of the I~profile. Subsequently, when the plate portion 2 is brought into close contact with the body portion 4, the relatively small projections 8 are disposed in the corresponding openings 10 in the upper flange of the profile.
In this manner a particularly reliable securing of the fittings is obtained. Firstly because the projections are disposed in the thickest profile portion, i.e. in the flanges, secondly because the fittings now loads the portions of the profile providing the highest resisting moment, and thirdly because the plate portion 2 of the fit-ting, if necessary, may be lengthened and provided with further pro-jections in addition to the four projections 6, 8 illustrated.
The invention thus permits another mounting sequence than pre-viously as the fittings now may be mounted on the vertical post before it is secured to the I-profile. As a result hooking methods are ob-tained permitting a turn of the fitting about the vertical post from either the right or the left. In this manner particularly good pos--sibilities of constructing a reliable and solid pallet shelf system are provided.
The profile is provided by sectional-stell rolling, the flan-ges comprising three layers on one side of the body portion 4 and ~0 two layers on the opposite side. Bracing profile sections may, if necessary, be provided in part of the length of the profile. The height of the profile depends on the purpose.
The openings of the profiles may, if desired, be provided by punching the sheet stock.
The upper projections of the plate portion of the fitting are of a height making their ridges flush with the top side of the I-pro-file.
A further advantage of the invention is that both the fitting and the profile may be made of pretreated material, i.e. galvanized or enamelled material, without being damaged due to a later welding.
In principle the method of hooking may be used on all types of profLles provided thet flange6 ere pre~ent~
