DESCRIPTION OF THE PREF~.R~R~n EMBODIMENT
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like 20 parts throughout, the door assembly of this invention is referred to generally at 10.
Referring now to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, door assembly 10 is mounted within a pallet rack system 30. Door assembly 10 includes tracks 12, door section 14 and casters 16. Door CA 02228910 1998-02-0~
section 14 comprises wire panels 20 which are connected with spiral connectors 18.
Wire panels are preferred so that the consllmer can view the products that are stored on paLLet rack system 30; however, door section 14 can a!Lso comprise solid panels.
Further, door section 14 can a]Lso comprise a unitary structure, as opposed to panels, so :Long as such a structure is p Liable and can mounted for slidable movement within slide tracks 12.
A paLLet rack system is the preferred storage system. However, door assembly 10 can be used with any shelf based storage system. Continuing on Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, ]paLLet rack system 30 is a standard system and includes uprights 32 connected with shelf beams 34 in a rectangular box pattern. Diagona]L supports 36 are a]Lso inGluded a]Long the sides of paLLet rack system 30 for ad-lition~l support. Suitable pa]Llet rack systems are avai]Lable from a number of manufacturing sources, including App]Lied Dyn~mic.~, 1011 Nine MiLe Road, N.W., Sparta, MI 49345; Speed Rack Midwest, 1011 Nine Mile Road, N.W., Sparta, MI 49345; and Steel King Industries,Inc., 2700 Chamber Street, Stevens Point, WI 54481. Wire shelves 38 are a]Lso inc]Luded in the paLLet rack system 30 and are mounted on the she]Lf beams 34. The wire mesh used in shelves 38 and in panels 20 is constructed in pattern sufficiently dense so as to prevent products from falLing through the shelf 38 or through panels 20.
Continuing on Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, door assembly 10 is mounted within paLLet rac:k system 30 by att~hing slide track 12 to uprights 32. Casters 16 are then s]Lidably mounted within s]Lide track 12. Rods 28 are mourLted between casters 16 and CA 02228910 1998-02-0~
are used to mount door section 14 and to provide additional stiffne~s to door assembly 10. Wire panels 20 of door section 14 are connected together using spiral connectors 18 and are also connected to rods 28 using spiral connectors 18.
In operation, then, casters 16 slide along slide track 12 to move door assembly 10 from an open to a closed position. Preferably, the height of door ~semhly 10 is the same as the depth of the pallet rack system 30. However, it is possible to use a door assembly 10 having a height greater than the depth of the pallet system 30 so long as suf~cient space remains when the door assembly 10 is open for user to have access to items stored on pallet rack system 30. This sliding action of the door ~semhly 10 is better than a swinging door in that it can be opened without hindering a lift driver fro~n delivering a paIlet of product to pallet rack system 30.
Alternatively, slide tracks 12 can be bolted to uprights 32 and horizontal shelfsupports 34 using a series of flanges. A~-lition~lly, referring to Fig. 7, there can be provided means to lock door assembly 10 when it is closed. Such a locking means comprises a vertically mounted hasp 40 mounted to the front 42 of a shelf beam 34 of the pallet rack system 30 as are commonly used with st~ntl~rd padlocks. Lower edge 44 of door section 14 fits into hasp 40 and the user places a padlock into hasp 40.
Referring now to Figs. 5 and 6, an alternative embodiment of door assembly 10 is depicted. Door section 14 is attached to casters 16 via L-shaped flanges 24. More particularly, extension 17 of caster 16 is fri~tion~lly mounted within sleeve 26 that is forrned on flange 24 and flange 24 is welded to the edge 27 of door section 14. Casters 16 a~re then slidably mounted within slide tracks 12.
CA 02228910 1998-02-0~
Referring now to Fig. 8, door assembly 10 further includes counterbalance 56.
Colmterba]Lance 56 is mounted on a rod 64 at the back 64 of the rack system 30. Rod 54 spans the width of the rack system 30 and is mounted between disks 52. Disks 52 are welded to uprights 32 near the top of uprights 32 so as to abut s]Lide tracks 12.
S Continuing on Fig. 8, rack system 30 further includes panels 50 mounted on the latera]L sides 60, top 62 and back 64 of the system 30. This enh~nces the security aspect of the invention in that a complete cage is provided. Thus, when the doorsection 14 is closed, and preferably locked, items within the system 30 are secure.
Referring now to Fig. 9, an a]Lternative embo-liment of the door assembly of this invlention, including an alternative connection between the door panels is described.
Wire mesh panels 20 now include ]Light angle iron frame 70. Lugs 76 and 78 are mounted on adjacent edges 72 and 74 of frames 70. Lugs 76 and 78 include bores 80 ancL 82 that are a]Ligned with each other. Rod 28 is mounted through bores 80 and 82 and casters 16 are mounted at each end of the rod 28. Casters 16 fit within slide lS tracks 12 as described above. Thus, lugs 76 and 78 act a hinge between panels 20, and. thus facilitate the movement of door section 14 along slide tracks 12 (not shown in ~i'ig. 9).
Accordingly, the door assembly 10 of this invention when used in conjunction Wit]l paLLet rack system 30 prevents articles from falling off higher shelves; provides ready access for the retai]Ler to obtain products stored on the paLLet rack system; and can provide for the secured storage of the products if a lock system is provided. The pro.~ision of a secured storage option enables the more productive use of space in that CA 02228910 1998-02-0~
products previously stored in security cages may now be stored directly in the retail area on the pallet rack system 30 that includes door ~-qsemhly 10 without the risk of theft or loss. Thus, the user is able to store products securely as well as display them, without having to dedicate space to display shelving and security cages. Additionally, S the use of wire mesh enh~nces fire safety in that in the event of fire, water pass through the wire mesh and reach the stored product within the system 30.
Thus, although there have been described particular embodiments of the present invention of a new and useful Door Assembly for Storage Rack, it is not intended that such references be construed as limitations upon the scope of this 10 invention except as set forth in the following claims.
