Definitions
- the invention relates to a wall unit for use in the storage and/or display of articles, for example in a store, and to a structure incorporating such a unit.
- the invention has been devised primarily, but not exclusively, in connection with the display of merchandise in stores.
- Conventional storage and display racks are often not well suited to merchandising applications in that they usually offer only a limited range of merchandise display configurations.
- merchandise can be appropriately arranged and rearranged on each shelf, the location of the shelves themselves often cannot be readily changed.
- a complete reconstruction of a display is necessary to change the display configuration.
- Shelving structures have previously been proposed comprising vertical standards adapted to be secured to a wall surface, and shelf brackets which can be removably fitted to the standards at various positions according to desired shelf arrangements.
- a disadvantage of this type of structure is that it is really suitable only for supporting shelving and does not lend itself to other display arrangements.
- the standards must be individually fitted to a wall surface and must be carefully aligned to ensure that these shelves are disposed horizontally.
- GB-A-579688 The construction of GB-A-579688 is simpler, but the two wall elements making up a panel are of different shape from each other.
- the present invention provides a wall unit which is a panel made up of a number of tubular members.
- Each tubular member is itself constructed from two identically-shaped channel section elements, joined along the edges of the side flanges of the elements to form a box type construction. These members are secured together so that their side walls lie face-to-face and the flat bases of the channel section elements together form the major surfaces of the panel.
- the invention also provides a display and/or storage structure incorporating one or more of said wall units.
- Shelving, rods, or other article supporting elements may be supported between wall units to form the display or storage structure.
- the structures can be self-supporting and free standing, and may be mounted on wheels.
- the panel construction provided by the present invention is versatile, has the strength of box type constructions, permits the use of standard components.
- a display structure for use in a store is generally indicated at 20 and is shown positioned against an internal wall 22 in the store building.
- Structure 20 includes two indentical wall units, each denoted 24, which project outwardly from wall 22 at right angles thereto, and which are spaced from one another along the wall.
- the wall units are used to support both shelves which extend between the two units, and which are denoted 26, and shelves 28 at the outer sides of the units.
- Fig. 3 shows an alternative form of display structure according to the invention which includes three of the wall unit 24 shown in Fig. 1 disposed in equally spaced parallel positions at right angles to a wall 32 of the store building.
- the centre wall unit and the unit at the right hand end of structure 30 together support shelves 34 extending between the two units in similar fashion to the embodiment of Fig. 1.
- the two units also support a hanger rod 36 from which garments 38 are suspended.
- Further shelves 40 are disposed at the outer side of the right hand end unit 24.
- Two further hanger rods 42 and 44 extend between the centre wall unit and the left hand end wall unit, and the latter unit also carries a mirror 46 and a small shelf 48 at its outer side.
- the structure 30 shown in Fig. 2 can be used both for displaying shelf goods and hanging goods in the store, while also providing a mirror for assisting purchasers.
- Fig. 3 is a front view of one of the wall units 24 shown in the previous views
- Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view through the unit of Fig. 3.
- Unit 24 includes a relatively rigid, self-supporting panel 50 made up of a series of vertical members 52 secured together side by side.
- each of the mebers 52 is in fact of box section and is made up of two channel-shaped elements secured together with their channels facing one another.
- the two channel-shaped elements which make up one of the members 52 are denoted 54 and 56 in Fig. 4 and are welded together in the positions shown.
- the other members 52 are essentially the same and the members are welded together side edge to side edge in the configuration indicated in Fig. 4.
- the members 52 are first assembled from channel section elements such as those indicated at 54 and 56 and the assembled members are then welded together side edge to side edge as shown.
- the channel section elements comprise standard lengths of steel channel.
- a capping strip 58 is applied to the exposed side and top edge of the wall unit 24 as can be seen in Fig. 3 to provide the unit with a finished appearance.
- the other side edge is left plain in this case since that edge is to be fitted against a wall.
- the capping strip is also in the form of steel channel and is welded in place.
- each wall unit 24 is made up of six of the members 52 and that the two members adjacent the two outer side members are slightly longer than the remaining members and project below the bottom edges of those members to form spigots, denoted 52a by which the unit is secured in place.
- two sockets 60 dimensioned to receive the spigots 52a are secured by screws 62 .to the floor 64 on which the wall is to be mounted in positions to receive the spigots.
- lateral restraining means For example, in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, an angle bracket is screwed to each wall unit 24 adjacent its upper end and to the wall of the building.
- the bracket associated with the centre wall unit 24 in Fig. 2 is indicated at 66 and similar such brackets are provided for the other two wall units in that view and for the units in Fig. 1, although these brackets are not visible in the drawings.
- panel 50 has front and rear walls formed by the bases of the channel section elements from which the panel is made.
- the panel is symmetrical about a median plane and has identical front and rear walls.
- the front wall of panel 50 will be considered as being the wall which is visible in Figs. 3 and 5.
- the front wall of panel 50 is generally denoted 68 and the rear wall is denoted 70 (Fig. 4).
- front wall 68 has an outer surface 72 and an inner surface 74
- rear wall 70 has an outer surface 76 and inner surface 78.
- the front wall 68 of panel 50 is formed with an array of openings, generally denoted 80 which are arranged in a plurality of vertical rows spaced equally across the outer surface of front wall 68 with the openings in each row equally spaced from one another longitudinally of that row. It will be seen from Figs. 4 and 5 that each of the openings 80 is of rectangular shape and extends through the front wall 68 of panel 50 from its outer surface 72 to its inner surface 74. This allows article supporting elements (to be described) to be engaged in the openings for supporting an article from the wall unit.
- the rear wall 70 of panel 50 is formed with a similar array of openings, although these openings have not been specifically illustrated in the drawings since they are essentially the same as the openings in wall 68.
- the openings in the front and rear walls of panel 50 are in fact formed by a punching operation during manufacture of the channel section elements which make up the members 52 of panel 50.
- the openings 80 are disposed so that the major axis of each opening lies in the transverse direction of panel 50.
- the openings 80 are formed with their major axes extending transversely of the elements.
- Fig. 6 shows a mobile form of display structure according to the invention.
- the structure is generally denoted 82 and includes two wall units 84.
- the units are essentially very similar to the units 24 described in connection with the previous figures in that each unit includes a relatively rigid, self-supporting panel (denoted 86) formed on both sides with an array of openings arranged in a plurality of horizontally and vertically aligned rows as described in connection with Fig. 5.
- the panels 86 are somewhat different in that each panel is made up of a plurality of horizontal members 88 which extend transversely of the panel, in contrast to the vertical members 52 of panel 50.
- Each member 88 comprises two channel-shaped elements which are essentially the same as the elements which make up panel 50 except that the openings in the elements of the Fig. 6 embodiment are disposed with their major dimensions extending longitudinally of the elements. As a result, in the assembled panel, the openings still appear as in the previous embodiment.
- each panel 86 is surrounded by a steel frame 90 made of box section members welded to the panel 86.
- the two frames 90 are joined by longitudinal box section members 92 welded to the two lower members in each frame 90. Castor wheels 94 are provided on the members 92.
- a longitudinal member 96 extends between the top rear corners of the two frames 90 to form a relatively rigid unitary structure.
- a cross member 98 extends between the wall units 84 in an overhead position and is mounted at its ends on the upper ends of two vertical members 100 and 102 received in vertically slideable fashion in openings in the top members of the two frames 90.
- Set screws one of which is visible at 104, are provided in each of those members for engagement with the respective vertical members 100 and 102 and can be used to secure those members in appropriate vertical positions.
- the position of the cross member 98 can be varied by releasing the set screws and sliding the vertical members 100 and 102 up or down as appropriate and retightening the set screws to secure the cross member in an adjusted position.
- Member 98 can be used for carrying overhead signs, displays, lights or the like according to the particular situation in which the display structure is used.
- structure 82 will in practice be fitted with shelves, hanger rods, and other article supporting elements in similar fashion to the structures described in connection with the preceding figures, although, for clarity of illustration, those elements are not shown in Fig. 6.
- FIG. 7 Figs. 7 and 8 in describing two examples of shelf supports which may be used in association with the display structures described previously.
- a single adjustably mounted wall unit may be employed, it is believed that, in most situations, two or more such wall units will be provided side by side in the same tracks. They can then be adjusted with respect to one another so that trays, shelves or other supports of different width can be attached to the units. For example, if two wall units are provided, the spacing between them may be adjusted so that, say, four foot long shelves can be supported from the units. Then, when the store display is to be changed, the units may be moved closer together for supporting, say, two foot long shelves. Suitable backgrounds, displays, and the like can be provided behind the wall units if desired.
- wall unit 142 is formed by two channel shaped elements secured together face to face and is generally similar to one of the members 52 which make up the wall unit of Fig. 3.
- the outer (front) face of unit 142 is formed with an array of rectangular openings arranged in four vertical rows with the openings in each row in horizontal alignment with the openings in adjacent rows. Similar openings are provided in the inner (rear) faces of the unit but are not used in this case; the inner face of the unit could alternatively be unapertured.
- Fig. 11 shows the cross-sectional shapes of the two tracks 144 and 146. It will be seen that each track in essence defines parallel inner and outer channels and that the wall unit 142 is received in the outer channel of each track.
- the upper and lower tracks have respective inner limbs 148 and 150 of extended height, by which the tracks are secured to a supporting wall 152.
- a cavity is present behind wall 152 and toggle bolts such as those indicated at 154 are used for securing the tracks to the wall.
- toggle bolts such as those indicated at 154 are used for securing the tracks to the wall.
- screws, bolts or other fastening means can alternatively be employed.
- the tracks could be attached to respective ceiling and floor surfaces in appropriate cases.
- the tracks also have outer limbs denoted 156 and 158 respectively. As can best be seen in Fig. 12, each of these limbs is formed with a series of spaced openings, denoted respectively 160 and 162 and the wall unit is provided behind each row of openings with a single screw threaded opening which is centralized transversely of the wall unit and into which a machine screw can be screwed for securing the wall unit to the relevant channel. Two such machine screws are indicated at 164 and 166 in Fig. 12. It will be appreciated that, in order to adjust the position of the wall unit, it is simply necessary to remove the screws 164 and 166, reposition the wall unit in the tracks, and replace the screws through appropriate ones of the openings 160 and 162.
- the openings in each row are spaced from one another on one inch centres so as to provide for versatility of positioning of the wall unit.
- an additional support member 168 extends parallel to the tracks 144 and 146 behind the wall unit and is secured to the supporting wall 152 by toggle bolts, one of which is indicated at 170 (Fig. 11).
- Support member 168 is of box shape in cross-section and is formed in its outer surface with a row of equally spaced openings 172, each of which is internally screw threaded.
- Wall unit 142 is provided with a single central opening 174 which can aligned with selected ones of the openings 172 and through which a machine screw can be inserted into one of the openings 172 to provide additional support if required.
- the inner channels of the respective tracks 144 and 146 can be used for receiving other wall panels, decorative background material, mirrors, etc. In other applications in which no intermediate support member (as member 168) is required, single channel tracks may be employed.
- the invention provides extremely versatile display and/or storage structure.
- the shelf supports or other articles supporting elements can be easily and quickly fitted to a wall unit in any appropriate position.
- an existing arrangement of article supporting elements on a wall unit can be easily varied.
- Completely new visual display arrangements can be easily and quickly created.
- a single wall unit could be used by itself as a display structure.
- the unit could be mounted at right angles to a wall, flat against a wall (in which case only one side of the unit could be used) or even in a free standing arrangement if the unit is provided with a suitable base.
- a display structure could be made considerably more complex than the structures shown in the drawings by adding additional wall units, shelves, etc.
- the unit may be of an overall width of 62 cm (24 inches) (each member 52 accordingly being of 10 cm (4 inches) in width), of a thickness of 2.5 cm (1 inch), and of a height of 213 cm (84 inches) (each member 52 accordingly being of may be of 10 cm (4 inches) in height.
- the openings 80 in the panel 50 of the unit may each be of approximately 0.32 cm x 0.64 cm (t inch x inch) and spaced from one another on 2.5 cm (1 inch) centres transversely of the panel and on 1.15 cm (1 ⁇ 2 inch) centres vertically of the panel.
- the channel-shaped elements from which the members 52 are made may be 18 gage steel channel of dimensions 1.25 x 10 cm (1 inch x 4 inches).
- the spacings between the openings 80 in the panel 50 provide for almost infinitely adjustable positioning of article supporting elements on the panel.
- any one supporting element can be adjusted transversely in increments of 1" and vertically in increments of 1/2".
- wall units and display structures referred to herein may find application not only in the display of merchandise for sale, but in any applications in which articles are required to be displayed and/or stored.
- Residential applications of the invention are also envisaged.
- structures generally similar to that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 could be used as closets or other storage structures in residential homes.
- the front of the structure could, if appropriate, be closed by a curtain suspended from a hanger rod extending across the front of the structure.
- the openings are rectangular in shape and are arranged with their major axes horizontal.
- the openings are also rectangular but are arranged with their major axes vertical.
- the embodiment shown in Fig. 9 is believed to be particularly suitable for heavy duty applications; that is, for use in situations in which the wall unit is required to support relatively heavy loads. An example of such an application would be where the unit is to be used to support shelves for carrying paint cans in paint store.
- the range of application of the embedment shown in Fig. 9 is at least as wide as the range of application of the other embodiments. Variations in the shape and size of the openings are of course possible.
- the openings could be of circular shape.
