Definitions

  • the present invention relates to shelving, particularly for use as bookshelves, of the type comprising a support structure and a series of horizontal shelves carried by the support structure.
  • the object of the invention is to provide shelving of the type specified above which has a simple structure that is easy and quick to assemble and convenient to transport, and which at the same time is able to take up various configurations so as to satisfy the different possible requirements of the user.
  • each horizontal shelf includes a series of flat telescopic elements located side by side, so that it can take up any length between a minimum length and a maximum length.
  • Each telescopic element is constituted by two profiled elements slidable one within the other and fixed respectively at their two opposite ends to two end plates for attachment of the shelf to the support structure.
  • the two end plates are connected together by an auxiliary telescopic member which is preferably located adjacent the longitudinal edge of the shelf in a position spaced slightly above it.
  • This auxiliary telescopic member has travel limit means for limiting the maximum length of the shelf.
  • the shelving also has a series of book-end brackets each constituted by an elongate element bent into a closed profile and provided at its two adjacent ends with appendages for engaging the auxiliary telescopic member from opposite sides by resilient deformation of the element constituting the bracket , so as to clamp the latter on the auxiliary telescopic member.
  • the shelf 1 comprises a series of substantially flat telescopic elements 2 located side by side, so that it can take up any length between a minimum length and a maximum length.
  • Each telescopic element 2 is constituted by two profiled elements 2a, 2b slidable one within the other (see also Figure 2).
  • the profiled elements are made of sheet metal and have a substantially C-section defined by a central wall, indicated 3 and 4 respectively, and two pairs of longitudinal side walls, indicated 5 and 6 respectively, bent towards each other.
  • the walls 5 which define the two opposite longitudinal edges of the shelf 1 have rounded profiles.
  • the opposite ends of the telescopic elements 2 are fixed to two end plates 7 which, in the example illustrated, have a profile corresponding substantially to the profile of the shelf and projecting slightly outwardly thereof.
  • the two end plates 7 each include a lug 8 located adjacent one end of the plate 7.
  • the two lugs 8 are fixed, for example by screws, to the two ends of an auxiliary telescopic member 9 which, in the example illustrated, is constituted by two circular-sectioned tubular members slidable one within the other.
  • the auxiliary telescopic member 9 also includes travel limit means for limiting the position of maximum extension of the member 9. This avoids the risk of the elements 2b sliding out of the elements 2a constituting the shelf.
  • the travel limit means may be of any known type and consequently have not been illustrated in the drawings to make these easier to understand.
  • the shelf 11 may also be provided with locking means of any known type for locking the shelf in the configuration corresponding to a desired length. These locking means are also not illustrated in order to simplify the drawings as much as possible.
  • All the various embodiments of the shelving according to the invention have book-end brackets 10 each made in the manner illustrated by way of example in Figure 5.
  • Each of these brackets is constituted by an elongate element 11 which, in the example shown in Figure 5, is a circular-sectioned metal element bent into a closed profile and having two appendages 12 at its two adjacent ends, for example, in the form of circular channel sections, for engaging the opposite sides of the auxiliary telescopic member 9 by resilient deformation of the element 11, so as to allow the bracket 10 to be clamped onto the member 9 in the manner illustrated, for example, in Figures 4, 6, 7, 9 and 11.
  • the support structure for the shelves of the shelving includes a wall-mountable frame, and a plurality of brackets 13, one of which is also visible in Figure 1.
  • Each bracket 13 has teeth 14 for connection to the wall-mountable frame, as will be explained in detail below, so as to enable it to be supported in cantilever manner by this frame.
  • each bracket 13 has hook means for its connection to a corresponding end plate 7 of a corresponding shelf 1.
  • the hook means are constituted by two hook appendages 15 (see also Figure 3) blanked and bent from the plate constituting the bracket 13, which in the embodiment illustrated is of sheet metal.
  • Each end plate 7 has a lower edge which projects slightly downwardly from the lower profile of the shelf 2.
  • This edge includes two end portions 7a which are received and supported within seats defined by the hook appendages 15, and a central portion 7b projecting downwardly from the end portions 7a and engageable between the two appendages 15 so as to prevent movement of the shelf 1 relative to the bracket 13 in a direction transverse the longitudinal axis of the shelf.
  • the wall-mountable frame to which the brackets 13 are fixed in their turn is constituted by a plurality of uprights 16 which can be fixed to a wall by screw plugs and have series of slots 16a one above another for receiving the teeth 14 of each bracket 13 so as to support the bracket in cantilever fashion.
  • Figure 4 also shows the book-end brackets 10 which can be formed with different profiles, as shown in this Figure.
  • the embodiment of Figure 6. differers from that of Figure 4 mainly in that the uprights 16 are connected together in pairs by articulated X-shaped elements each constituted by a pair of rods 17 articulated together at their centres and having ends 18 slidably guided within the corresponding uprights.
  • the wall-mountable frame also includes a further upright 16 in correspondence with the articulation of each X-shaped element.
  • the X-shaped elements interconnecting the uprights 16 ensure that these uprights are parallel and thus facilitate the fixing of the support frame to a wall in the correct position.
  • the presence of the uprights 16 in correspondence with the joints of the X-shaped elements also enables the shelves 1 to be mounted in horizontally staggered positions, as is clear from the drawing.
  • the wall-mountable frame which supports the brackets 13 is shaped in the form of gymnastic wall bars.
  • this frame is constituted by two structures 19, 20 each constituted by a respective pair of uprights 19a, 19b and 20a, 20b joined together by a plurality of vertically spaced cross members 21, 22.
  • the uprights 19b, 20b which are furthest from each other are connected rigidly to the cross members 21, 22 of the respective structures 19, 20, while the uprights 19a, 20a which are located between the two uprights of the other structure are each connected rigidly to the respective cross members 21, 22 and at the same time have apertures 23 (see Figure 8) within which the cross members of the other structure are slidably guided.
  • both the uprights 19a, 19b, 20a, 20b and the cross members 21, 22 are constituted by channel-sectioned elements.
  • the cross members 21 of the structure 19 are intercalated vertically between the cross members 22 of the structure 20.
  • the two structures 19, 20 are slidable relative to one another in a horizontal direction in the plane of the two structures, that is, along the longitudinal axis of the cross members 21, 22.
  • the brackets 13 are fixed to the cross members 21, 22 by the engagement of the teeth 14 in the cavities in the channel elements constituting the cross members.
  • the wall-mounted wall bar structure may also be used for supporting or anchoring other objects such as, for example, coat-hooks 24 or supports of the type indicated 25 in Figure 7, which may, for example, receive a racket 26.
  • the support structure for the shelves is not intended to be fixed to a wall but is in itself able to support the shelves in a stable position.
  • the support structure is constituted by a series of corner support members 27 each constituted by two vertical walls 28 disposed substantially at right angles and joined together along a common edge.
  • the two walls 28 are articulated together about this edge so that they can be folded against one another (see the position illustrated in broken outline in Figure 10) to facilitate transport.
  • one of the two plates 28 is located in correspondence with the end edge of a shelf 1 and supports this shelf by means of pins 29 on which the lower edge of the end plate 7 rests.
  • the said wall 28 has a plurality of holes 30 each of which can receive a pin 29 so as to allow the level of the shelf 1 to be chosen at will.
  • FIG. 11 A variant ( Figure 11) is also provided which uses support members each comprising a central vertical wall 31 and two lateral vertical walls 32 articulated to the central vertical wall along the two longitudinal edges of the latter and disposed in planes perpendicular to the plane of the central vertical wall in the assembled condition.
  • Each of the walls 31, 32 may support a corresponding shelf 1 so as to allow the bookshelves to be developed in three different directions as illustrated schematically in Figure 11.
  • the support structure includes a plurality of blocks 33 of relatively heavy material (for example, refractory material or concrete) stacked in engagement with each other so as to define uprights 34 for supporting the shelves 1.
  • Each block 33 has upper and lower surfaces of complementary shape, so as to allow interlocking of the superposed blocks, and is also provided with ribs 35 on' its main face.
  • Each rib 35 in its turn has a groove 36 in its upper surface for receiving and supporting the lower edge of the end plate 7 of a corresponding shelf 1.
