Description
~1~S ~
The present invention rela-tes to a sectional uprlght with rack.
There is currently used for all sorts of furniture, and particularly for bookcases, sets of shelves, as well as for numerous other uses, racks fixed on a support, a wall or dividing wall, or assembled as a post, on which may be hooked at any desired level brackets themselves intended to support shelves.
These racks are generally formed by a metal section, having an H or similar cross-section, the transverse leg of which is pierced with equidistant windows forming the rack properly speaking, and the edges of the two parallel branches of which, intended to bear against the dividing wall, are extended outwardly by portions bent at right-angles, forming feet and pierced with holes for fixing thereof by means of screws to the wall.
A reproach often made against these racked sections is that they are unaesthetic, because the heads of the fixing screws can be seen.
The present invention relates to a rack of the above-mentioned type which palliates this disadvantage.
According to the present invention, there is provided a sectional upright with rack, comprising a section having a transverse leg pierced with windows forming the rack, and two parallel legs intended to be applied against a support, each leg being extended at one end by a portion bent outwardly at right-angles forming feet pierced with holes for receiving fixing means, and removable masks connected to said section for hiding said section from view, characterized in that each of said removable masks is formed of a counter-section having first edges ad~acent free edges of said bent portions and second opposite edges passing close to other edges of said , "....................................................... ~
5'7~7 legs and extending beyond said other edges by thin lips hiding said rack, a system of clamping lips and fixing strips provided on said legs and masks permitting easy fixing of said mask onto said section.
These means for fixing the masks to the section are preferably fluted, grooved, or shaped in any other appropriate way allowing a firm, though removable,~securing to be obtained.
The drawing shows by way of example several embodiments of the present invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view, with parts cut away, of a first embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a variation.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are variations shown in section.
Figure 6 is a detail view.
The section shown, having an H-shaped cross-section, comprises a transverse leg 1, pierced at equally spaced intervals with oblong windows 2, evenly distributed, which form the rack properly speaking. The two parallel legs 3 and 4 of this section are extended outwardly, on the side intended to be applied against the support, by means of portions 5 and 6 bent at right-angles, forming feet and pierced with holes 31 for fixing by means of screws (not shown).
On the outer faces of the parallel legs 3 and 4 of this H-section are provided, for example half-way, continuous lips 7 and 8 between which may be force-fitted and fixed the strips or ribbons 9 and 10 integral with the counter-sections 11 and 12, whose edges bear respectively against the outer faces of the parallel le~s 3 and 4 of the section and against the adjacent faces of their bent ex-tensions 5 and 6, forming feet.
~1~ ~ 57~7 This method of fixing flexible counter-sections, of any shape, size and color to metal H-, U- or L-sections makes for easy positioning since all that is required is to present each mask from the side until the fixing members are engaged one in the other, which allows these masks to be changed at will and as often as desired, which the slide or snap-fitting methods of fixing do not allow (French Patent

Figure 1 is a perspective view, with parts cut away, of a first embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a variation.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are variations shown in section.
Figure 6 is a detail view.
The section shown, having an H-shaped cross-section, comprises a transverse leg 1, pierced at equally spaced intervals with oblong windows 2, evenly distributed, which form the rack properly speaking. The two parallel legs 3 and 4 of this section are extended outwardly, on the side intended to be applied against the support, by means of portions 5 and 6 bent at right-angles, forming feet and pierced with holes 31 for fixing by means of screws (not shown).
On the outer faces of the parallel legs 3 and 4 of this H-section are provided, for example half-way, continuous lips 7 and 8 between which may be force-fitted and fixed the strips or ribbons 9 and 10 integral with the counter-sections 11 and 12, whose edges bear respectively against the outer faces of the parallel le~s 3 and 4 of the section and against the adjacent faces of their bent ex-tensions 5 and 6, forming feet.
~1~ ~ 57~7 This method of fixing flexible counter-sections, of any shape, size and color to metal H-, U- or L-sections makes for easy positioning since all that is required is to present each mask from the side until the fixing members are engaged one in the other, which allows these masks to be changed at will and as often as desired, which the slide or snap-fitting methods of fixing do not allow (French Patent
2,039,207 and 2,369,451).
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the counter-sections 11 and 12 are applied on the edges 15, 16 of the parallel legs 3 and 4 of the H-section which they hide; they could also bear with their opposite edges 28, 29 against the edges 24, 25 of the portions 5, 6 bent back at right-angles of the sections.
The clamping lips 13, 14 securing the counter-sections to the H-section may be integral with the counter-sections 11, 12 instead of being so with the H-section;
his solution, which is shown in Figure 3, is preferable if the H-section is made from aluminum, and the counter-sections from a plastic material ~Figure 4).
In this case, the second ends or edges 26, 27 of counter-sections 11 and 12 directed towards one another, may be made thinner and extended beyond the edges 15 and 16 of legs 3 and 4 of the U-section by lips 19, 20, so as to hide rack 1 also; the resiliance of these thinned extensions 19 and 20 may be sufficient for them to draw sufficiently aside to allow to pass therethrough the fixing hooks of the brackets which the rack 1, 2 is to carry at the desired level.
These H-sections are sometimes arranged to form poles 21, as shown in Figure 5, instead of being fixed to a wall;
the counter-sections 22, 23 are then arranged to each hide a half of the poles; in the embodiment shown, they are of the type of those of Figure 4.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the counter-sections 11 and 12 are applied on the edges 15, 16 of the parallel legs 3 and 4 of the H-section which they hide; they could also bear with their opposite edges 28, 29 against the edges 24, 25 of the portions 5, 6 bent back at right-angles of the sections.
The clamping lips 13, 14 securing the counter-sections to the H-section may be integral with the counter-sections 11, 12 instead of being so with the H-section;
his solution, which is shown in Figure 3, is preferable if the H-section is made from aluminum, and the counter-sections from a plastic material ~Figure 4).
In this case, the second ends or edges 26, 27 of counter-sections 11 and 12 directed towards one another, may be made thinner and extended beyond the edges 15 and 16 of legs 3 and 4 of the U-section by lips 19, 20, so as to hide rack 1 also; the resiliance of these thinned extensions 19 and 20 may be sufficient for them to draw sufficiently aside to allow to pass therethrough the fixing hooks of the brackets which the rack 1, 2 is to carry at the desired level.

The metal sections may be sections having a cross-section other than in the form of an H providing that the securing of the masks may be achieved by engaging continuous strips of one of the elements in lips or grooves of the other element, which avoids the disadvantages of known assemblies comprising slides, snap-fittings, screws or clips.
It is apparent that within the scope of the invention, modifications and different arrangements can be made other than is here disclosed. The present disclosure is merely illustrative with the invention comprehending all variations thereof.
Thus it is that one of the anchoring members may be provided on portions 5, 6 bent at right angles of the section, the other member integral with counter section 11, 12 being disposed so as to engage with the first.
This means of fixing flexible and curved counter sections 11, 12 on the sectional upright allows panels 30 to be fitted having edges suitably indented to bear on the portions 5, 6 bent at right angles of the section and to abut lips 7, 8 to fit flush with legs 3, 4 (Fig. 6).
