Additional parts are not specified, as outside the field of disclosure for a new shelf system with locking mechanism and this patent application.
The Locking profile (13), back plate (26) and the shelf's (24) may be fabricated from metal or other strong materials, for durable and sturdy material with required strength, such as steel, aluminium, wood, etc.
The process or processes used to form the various components of the lock system, the locking profile (13), the back plate (26) and the shelves (24) can also vary considerably as necessary to form each given component.
The lock system’s components may be injection moulded, blow moulded, continuously molded, extruded, vacuum formed, rotation moulded, turned, CNC milled, laser cut, turret punched, punched or the like. The manufacturing process or processes may be selected based on feasibility, cost, tooling concerns, as well as other factors for a given application.
In this exemplary embodiment, FIG. 2 describes one example of a locking profile (13). The locking profile (13) may consist of a handle (7) in one end, handle (7) design can vary, dependent on requirements. A number of locking bar’s (3) along the locking profile (13), an opening (5) around each locking bar (3) to secure the receival of the shelves (24) for assembly and locking. And at one end, at the opening (5), this may also be used for controlling of the movement of the locking profile (13), when moved up for open (un-locked) and moved back in locked position. And one end may also have a blocking setup, so the locking profile (13) can not open more than specified to secure required functionality of the locking system. The locking profile (13) has a generally square shape, but could be any other shape such as round, oval, or odd shaped, as long as the shape of the locking profile (13) can intersect the shelves (24) and hereby lock the shelves (24) into the back plate (26).
The area around the locking bar (3) consist of a locking pal (3), two angled corners (2+4), an edge line (1) and an open area (5), which guide the shelf into position for locking. The locking profile (13) is then slighted up or down to unlock or lock the shelves (24) in position, as illustrated in FIG. 1 (6) and FIG. 2 (6).
