Description

La présente invention concerne une structure de meuble et en particulier, une structure de rayonnage dans laquelle il est possible de régler continuellement et avec précision la hauteur de ses étagères.The present invention relates to a furniture structure and in particular, a shelving structure in which it is possible to continuously and precisely adjust the height of its shelves.

Les structures de rayonnage de ce type sont déjà largement connues, sous différentes formes constructives. Elles se basent sur le concept général consistant à utiliser des montants ou structures latérales portantes, sur lesquelles viennent s'ancrer, s'accrocher et/ou s'encastrer des étagères. Afin de pouvoir composer de telles structures selon les désirs de l'utilisateur, l'ancrage des étagères aux structures latérales s'effectue par des moyens de fixation qui souvent exercent une double fonction : celle de soutien de l'étagère et celle de liaison interne de la structure assurant son raidissement.Shelving structures of this type are already widely known, in various constructive forms. They are based on the general concept of using uprights or load-bearing side structures, on which are anchored, hooked and / or built into shelves. In order to be able to compose such structures according to the wishes of the user, the anchoring of the shelves to the lateral structures is effected by fixing means which often have a double function: that of supporting the shelf and that of internal connection of the structure ensuring its stiffening.

Une caractéristique commune de tous ces rayonnages est que les moyens de fixation prévus sur les étagères coopèrent avec des moyens de fixation correspondants, prévus à intervalles réguliers le long des montants ; c'est pourquoi le réglage en hauteur des étagères s'effectue nécessairement selon des positions préétablies, qui ne correspondent pas toujours aux désirs de l'utilisateur.A common characteristic of all these shelving is that the fixing means provided on the shelves cooperate with corresponding fixing means, provided at regular intervals along the uprights; this is why the height adjustment of the shelves is necessarily carried out according to preset positions, which do not always correspond to the wishes of the user.

Un autre inconvénient de ces rayonnages est dû au fait que le réglage en hauteur des étagères ne s'effectue pas toujours avec simplicité et rapidité, et que souvent les moyens de fixation sont relativement complexes et coûteux.Another drawback of these shelving is due to the fact that the height adjustment of the shelves is not always carried out with simplicity and speed, and that often the fixing means are relatively complex and expensive.

La présente invention concerne une structure de rayonnage ou, d'une façon plus générale, une structure à étagères, qui résout ces problèmes et présente, en particulier, des moyens de fixation extrêmement simples et peu coûteux, lesquels offrent entre autres la possibilité de régler les étagères à n'importe quelle hauteur désirée, indépendante des positions préfixées des moyens de fixation relatifs.The present invention relates to a shelving structure or, more generally, a shelving structure, which solves these problems and presents, in particular, extremely simple and inexpensive fixing means, which offer inter alia the possibility of adjusting the shelves at any desired height, independent of the prefixed positions of the relative fixing means.

Ce résultat est obtenu - dans un rayonnage du type comprenant au moins deux montants principaux verticaux de support et une pluralité d'étagères supportées par des consoles accrochées aux montants, chaque console étant formée d'un levier à deux bras, dont un premier bras horizontal supportant l'étagère et un second bras faisant un angle avec le premier bras, ledit second bras portant deux protubérances distancées chacune s'appuyant respectivement sur un des côtés verticaux opposés du montant, la protubérance inférieure du côté de l'étagère et la protubérance supérieure du côté opposé (voir FR-A-429 919) - par le fait que le second bras est oblique par rapport au premier bras horizontal, lequel est solidaire de l'une des extrémités latérales des étagères, et que les deux protubérances de chacun des seconds bras obliques sont en forme de tenon.This result is obtained - in a shelving of the type comprising at least two main vertical support uprights and a plurality of shelves supported by brackets attached to the uprights, each console being formed by a lever with two arms, including a first horizontal arm supporting the shelf and a second arm at an angle to the first arm, said second arm carrying two protuberances each supported on one of the opposite vertical sides of the upright, the lower protrusion on the side of the shelf and the upper protrusion on the opposite side (see FR-A-429 919) - by the fact that the second arm is oblique to the first horizontal arm, which is integral with one of the lateral ends of the shelves, and that the two protrusions of each of the second oblique arms are in the shape of a tenon.

Les autres caractéristiques et avantages de la structure de l'invention apparaissent dans la description qui suit d'une forme de réalisation préférée, illustrée par les dessins en annexe, dans lesquels :

  • les figures 1 et 2 sont deux vues schémati-. ques, respectivement de face et de côté, du rayonnage selon l'invention ;
  • les figures 3, 4 et 5 en illustrent l'emploi, respectivement avec des montants ancrés au mur, avec des étagères en forme de table, et avec des étagères de chaque côté des montants ;
  • les figures 6, 7 et 8 montrent, à échelle agrandie, le détail des moyens de fixation des étagères aux montants, respectivement en vue de côté, en vue de face et en vue de dessus ; et
  • la figure 9 est une coupe axiale schématique d'un des tenons constituant les moyens de fixation.
The other characteristics and advantages of the structure of the invention appear in the following description of a preferred embodiment, illustrated by the attached drawings, in which:
  • Figures 1 and 2 are two schematic views. ques, respectively from the front and from the side, of the shelving according to the invention;
  • FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 illustrate the use thereof, respectively with uprights anchored to the wall, with shelves in the form of a table, and with shelves on each side of the uprights;
  • Figures 6, 7 and 8 show, on an enlarged scale, the detail of the means for fixing the shelves to the uprights, respectively in side view, in front view and in top view; and
  • Figure 9 is a schematic axial section of one of the studs constituting the fixing means.

Comme illustré, le rayonnage se compose, de façon connue, de deux montants principaux 1, pourvus de base 2 d'appui (figures 1, 2, 4 et 5), ou directement fixés au mur (figure 3), éventuellement unis entre eux par des traverses 3 de raidissement, les étagères 4 s'accrochant sur ces montants.As illustrated, the shelving consists, in a known manner, of two main uprights 1, provided with base 2 for support (Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5), or directly fixed to the wall (Figure 3), possibly joined together by stiffening crosspieces 3, the shelves 4 hanging on these uprights.

Selon l'invention, chaque étagère est supportée par une paire de consoles 5, chacune desquelles est formée d'un levier à deux bras 5a et 5b (figure 6). Le bras 5a, horizontal,-a la fonction de soutien de l'étagère 4. Le bras 5b, oblique, a au contraire la fonction de moyen de fixation au montant 1.According to the invention, each shelf is supported by a pair of consoles 5, each of which is formed by a lever with two arms 5a and 5b (Figure 6). The arm 5a, horizontal, has the support function of the shelf 4. The arm 5b, oblique, on the contrary has the function of means of attachment to the upright 1.

Deux tenons 6 et 7 sont fixés au bras 5b de la console 5, dirigés dans une direction, essentiellement perpendiculaire au plan du bras 5b même, ces tenons s'appuyant de chaque côté sur le montant 1 (comme on le voit clairement dans les figures 6 à 8). Plus précisément, le tenon inférieur 6 s'appuie sur le montant 1 du côté de l'étagère 4, tandis que le tenon 7 s'appuie sur le montant 1 du côté opposé.Two pins 6 and 7 are fixed to the arm 5b of the console 5, directed in a direction, essentially perpendicular to the plane of the arm 5b itself, these pins pressing on each side on the upright 1 (as can be clearly seen in the figures 6 to 8). More specifically, the lower post 6 is supported on the upright 1 on the side of the shelf 4, while the post 7 is supported on the upright 1 on the opposite side.

Comme on peut le constater avec une telle disposition, le poids de l'étagère est suffisant pour transmettre au bras 5b un moment de couple qui se traduit par une pression des deux tenons 6 et 7 sur le montant 1. Plus le poids appliqué sur l'étagère est important, et plus la force avec laquelle les tenons 6 et 7 s'appuient contre le montant 1 sera grande. Cette force est donc en tout cas suffisante - comme confirmé par des essais pratiques - pour assurer l'ancrage de l'étagère sur le montant.As can be seen with such an arrangement, the weight of the shelf is sufficient to transmit to the arm 5b a torque moment which results in a pressure of the two studs 6 and 7 on the upright 1. The more the weight applied to the he shelf is important, the greater the force with which the pins 6 and 7 are pressed against the upright 1. This force is therefore in any case sufficient - as confirmed by practical tests - to ensure the anchoring of the shelf on the upright.

Il est clair qu'une telle disposition n'oblige à aucune position préfixée des étagères le long de la hauteur du montant. En effet l'étagère peut être déplacée dans n'importe quelle position en la soulevant simplement par son bord frontal 4a, faisant pivot sur le tenon 6, de façon à la faire basculer légèrement dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre. Dès que l'étagère est relâchée, elle prend appui sur le montant avec les tenons 6 et 7 et reste en place dans cette même position.It is clear that such an arrangement does not require any prefixed position of the shelves along the height of the upright. Indeed the shelf can be moved to any position by simply lifting it by its front edge 4a, pivoting on the tenon 6, so as to tilt it slightly counterclockwise. As soon as the shelf is released, it rests on the upright with the pins 6 and 7 and remains in place in the same position.

Afin d'obtenir un ancrage plus sûr de l'étagère sur le montant, il peut être opportun de réaliser les surfaces en coopération des tenons 6 et 7 et, respectivement, des montants 1, dans des matériaux ayant un coefficient de frottement l'un par rapport à l'autre choisi en conséquence. Par exemple, si le montant est réalisé en fer, les tenons 6 et 7 pourront être réalisés comme illustré à la figure 9, avec une âme en fer 8, pourvue d'un revêtement 9 en gomme dure. Autrement, les tenons pourront être réalisés complètement en fer, éventuellement avec une surface moletée, tandis que le montant pourra présenter - tout le long de son profil avec lequel les tenons 6 et 7 se trouvent en contact - un liste de revêtement en caoutchouc ou en plastique, lisse ou de préférence crénelé.To secure the shelf more securely on the upright, it may be appropriate to produce the surfaces in cooperation of the studs 6 and 7 and, respectively, of the uprights 1, in materials having a coefficient of friction with respect to the other chosen accordingly. For example, if the upright is made of iron, the pins 6 and 7 could be made as illustrated in FIG. 9, with an iron core 8, provided with a coating 9 of hard rubber. Otherwise, the studs can be made completely of iron, possibly with a knurled surface, while the upright can present - all along its profile with which the studs 6 and 7 are in contact - a list of rubber or plastic, smooth or preferably notched.

Dans la figure 7 on a schématisé un dispositif de blocage supplémentaire, de sécurité, propre à éviter que - dans le cas d'un coup accidentel, de bas en haut, sur le bord frontal 4a de l'étagère - cette dernière puisse glisser vers le bas. Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, ce dispositif de blocage est simplement constitué par un patin 15 de frottement, qui est pressé contre le montant 1 au moyen d'une vis 16 vissée dans un trou fileté du bras 5b.In FIG. 7, an additional safety blocking device has been shown diagrammatically to prevent - in the event of an accidental blow, from bottom to top, on the front edge 4a of the shelf - the latter may slide towards the bottom. In the embodiment shown, this blocking device is simply constituted by a friction pad 15, which is pressed against the upright 1 by means of a screw 16 screwed into a threaded hole in the arm 5b.

Tandis que les figures 1 à 3 montrent la structure de rayonnage avec une série d'étagères normales, les figures 4 et 5 montrent que les moyens de fixation selon l'invention se prêtent à la réalisation d'étagères avec fonctions spéciales : ainsi l'étagère 10 a la fonction d'une table, l'étagère 11 a la fonction d'un pupitre, l'étagère 12 a la fonction d'un tabouret, ou encore l'étagère 13 a la fonction d'un présentoir pour expositions.While Figures 1 to 3 show the shelving structure with a series of normal shelves, Figures 4 and 5 show that the fixing means according to the invention lend themselves to the production of shelves with special functions: thus the shelf 10 has the function of a table, the shelf 11 has the function of a desk, the shelf 12 has the function of a stool, or the shelf 13 has the function of a display stand for exhibitions.

Bien que cette invention ait été décrite avec référence spécifique à un rayonnage, il est clair qu'un technicien de la branche n'aura pas de difficultés à appliquer le concept inventif de ce système de fixation à des structures de meuble différentes : par exemple pour la fabrication d'une chaise ou d'un divan avec le plan du siège réglable en hauteur, pour la fabrication de lits superposés montés en saillie, de bancs d'école, de systèmes pour bureaux ou d'équipement pour expositions, en particulier pour magasins, ou d'autres applications que l'on peut facilement imaginer, sans que l'on sorte pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Although this invention has been described with specific reference to shelving, it is clear that a technician in the sector will have no difficulty in applying the inventive concept of this fastening system to different furniture structures: for example for the manufacture of a chair or a sofa with the seat plane adjustable in height, for the manufacture of projecting bunk beds, school benches, systems for desks or equipment for exhibitions, in particular for stores, or other applications that one can easily imagine, without departing from the scope of the invention.
