Abstract

1. Shelving having elongated supports (3, 4), whose bearing surfaces are inclined in their lengthwise direction with respect to the horizontal, and at least one post (1, 2) is inclined by the same amount with respect to the vertical, characterized in that only one of the two lateral sides of each elongated support (3, 4) is in contact with a post (1, 2) defining a right angle with the bearing surface of the elongated support (3, 4).

Description

Dispositif de rangement supportant tout type de volumes dans une position stable.Storage device supporting all types of volumes in a stable position.

La présente invention à pour but de maintenir dans une position parfaitement stable :

  • -Livres, catalogues, revues, reliés ou brochés, disques, sans risque de basculement, même si les rayonnages ne sont pas pleins.
  • -Tout volume en appui sur sa tranche et sa couverture:coffret de disques, cassettes, magasine, classeurs, ayant pour dimensions une hauteur et une profondeur largement supérieures à son épaisseur.
  • -Sans risque de déformation de la tranche reliée ni vrillage de celle-ci.
The present invention aims to maintain in a perfectly stable position:
  • -Books, catalogs, magazines, bound or paperbacks, discs, without risk of tipping, even if the shelves are not full.
  • -Any volume resting on its edge and its cover: box of discs, cassettes, magazines, binders, having for dimensions a height and a depth much greater than its thickness.
  • -Without risk of deformation of the connected wafer or twisting thereof.

L'état de stabilité est obtenu par le basculement du support de quelques degrés par rapport à l'axe normal, c'est à dire que le montant vertical du dispositif est basculé de quelques degrés par rapport à la verticale et que le support horizontal est basculé de quelques degrés par tapport à l'horizontae, tout en conservant un angle de 90°entre eux. Ainsi le volume supporté possède deux points d'appui:la tranche et la couverture ,de cette façon le centre de gravité résulte de deux forces alors que traditionnellement, tout livre posé sur sa tranche sur une étagère n'a qu'un seul point d'appui(dans le cas ou l'étagère n'est pleine) d'ou son instabilité.The state of stability is obtained by tilting the support a few degrees relative to the normal axis, i.e. the vertical upright of the device is tilted a few degrees relative to the vertical and the horizontal support is tilted a few degrees by contribution to the horizontal, while maintaining an angle of 90 ° between them. Thus the supported volume has two support points: the edge and the cover, in this way the center of gravity results from two forces whereas traditionally, any book placed on its edge on a shelf has only one point of 'support (in case the shelf is full) or its instability.

Quelquesoit le matérieau, ce dispositif-meuble permet la stabilité parfaite de tous volumes supporté sans l'aide d'accéssoires (serre-livres...)tout en alliant l'aspect géométrique esthétique à la technique. Il permet en outre un important linéaire de rangements, de volumes de petites et de grandes tailles(hauteur et largeur); il ne nécéssite pas de fond aux étagères ce qui rent possible une visualisation et un accès aux ouvrages de part et d'autre des supports Ce dispositif peut donc être utilisé en partie centrale d'une pièce ou le long d'un mur.Whatever the material, this device-furniture allows the perfect stability of all supported volumes without the help of accessories (bookends ...) while combining the aesthetic geometric aspect with the technique. It also allows a large linear storage space, volumes of small and large sizes (height and width); it does not require a bottom shelf which makes it possible to view and access the works on either side of the supports. This device can therefore be used in the central part of a room or along a wall.

Les montants peuvent prendre toutes formes géométriques, par exemple: cône,pyramide,colonne,etc, ...The uprights can take any geometric shape, for example: cone, pyramid, column, etc., ...

Il est donné à titre d'exemple non limitatifs trois modes de représentetion se référant aux déssins ci- anexés:

  • - Figure 1:vue de face du 1er mode de réal i sation;
  • - Figure 2:schéma technique;
  • - Figure 3:vue de face du 2ème mode de réalisation;
  • -Figure 4:vue de face du 3ème mode de réalisation;
Three modes of representation are given by way of non-limiting example, referring to the above-mentioned drawings:
  • - Figure 1: front view of the 1st embodiment;
  • - Figure 2: technical diagram;
  • - Figure 3: front view of the 2nd embodiment;
  • -Figure 4: front view of the 3rd embodiment;

La figure 1 représente le 1er mode de réalisation . Le cône (1) et le montant (2) réalisent deux flancs inclinés par rapport à la verticale de quelques degrés(1à15°) de telle manière que les étagères (3 et 4)qui supportent les livres soient également inclinées de quelques degrés par rapport à l'horizontale;ainsi elles conservent un angle droit alterné avec le montant du cône. Le flanc du montant(2) est parallèle à un des flancs du montant (1), l'axe du dit montant (a) étant vertical pour assurer un maintien normal .Les étagères ont donc un angle de 90° avec l'un des deux montants;l'ensemble étant étudié pour être parfaitement stable même chargé de livres.Figure 1 shows the 1st embodiment. The cone (1) and the upright (2) form two sides inclined with respect to the vertical by a few degrees (1 to 15 °) so that the shelves (3 and 4) which support the books are also inclined by a few degrees with respect to horizontally; thus they maintain a right angle alternating with the amount of the cone. The side of the upright (2) is parallel to one of the sides of the upright (1), the axis of said upright (a) being vertical to ensure normal support. The shelves therefore have an angle of 90 ° with one of the two uprights; the whole being studied to be perfectly stable even loaded with books.

La figure 2 représente le schéma technique. La figure 2b explique le fonctionnement du dispositif en montrant le basculement de l'angle droit par rapport à la normale.Figure 2 shows the technical diagram. FIG. 2b explains the operation of the device by showing the tilting of the right angle relative to the normal.

Comparativement à une bibliothèque normale ou le livre repose sur la tranche, ce dispositif-meuble permet un appui tranche et couverture sur les deux montants M1et M2;C1etC2 étant les composantes de G2,résultante du centre de gravitéCompared to a normal bookcase where the book rests on the edge, this furniture device allows edge support and cover on the two uprights M1 and M2; C1 and C1 being the components of G2, resulting from the center of gravity

La figure 3 représente le 2ème mode de réalisation. Les étagères sont simplement encastrées dans les montants,sur un seul de leur côté tous les autres étant libres et sont maintenus sans aucune vis, clous,et peuvent être retirés très facilement. Les étagères(3) ont un angle de 90 °par rapport aux flancs de la pyramide (1) ou tout autre support géométrique, support unique dans ce cas de figure.FIG. 3 represents the 2nd embodiment. The shelves are simply recessed in the uprights, on one side only all the others are free and are held without any screws, nails, and can be removed very easily. The shelves (3) have an angle of 90 ° with respect to the sides of the pyramid (1) or any other geometric support, this support being unique in this case.

La figure 4 exprime le 3ème mode de réalisation.Les montants (5)sont étudiés pour déterminer un plan inclinée (3)de là 15°, et supporter les livres dans cette inclinaison, le pied des montants (6)étant toujours horizontal.Figure 4 expresses the 3rd embodiment. The uprights (5) are studied to determine an inclined plane (3) thence 15 °, and support the books in this inclination, the foot of the uprights (6) being always horizontal.
