Description

L'invention est relative à un rayonnage métallique. Elle trouvera notamment son application pour le stockage industriel.The invention relates to metal shelving. It will find its application in particular for industrial storage.

Qu'il s'agisse de magasins de rangement de produits industriels ou de classement administratif, les objectifs à atteindre sont une occupation minimale de la surface au sol et une facilité d'accès pour l'objet recherché. La réduction de la surface occupée au sol est obtenue en superposant les produits à emmagasiner.Whether it be industrial product storage or administrative filing stores, the objectives to be achieved are minimum occupancy of the floor space and ease of access for the object sought. The reduction of the surface occupied on the ground is obtained by superimposing the products to be stored.

Jusqu'à présent, la hauteur de stockage avait été limitée en raison des faibles moyens techniques disponibles pour accéder aux objets placés en hauteur. Toutefois, avec le développement des chariots de manutention modernes, il est possible de déployer des mâts de levage qui permettent d'atteindre de très grandes hauteurs.Until now, the storage height had been limited due to the limited technical means available to access objects placed at height. However, with the development of modern industrial trucks, it is possible to deploy lifting masts which allow to reach very great heights.

En la matière, le rayonnage métallique est pleinement satisfaisant car il permet de disposer les produits à différentes hauteurs sans qu'ils reposent les uns sur les autres et par conséquent, aucune précaution particulière n'a être prise dans le conditionnement pour soutenir une charge extérieure. Un simple bac peut suffir à regrouper les objets stockés.In this area, the metal shelving is fully satisfactory because it allows the products to be placed at different heights without them resting on each other and therefore, no special precautions have to be taken in the packaging to support an external load. . A simple bin can be enough to group the stored objects.

Par ailleurs, l'accès à un casier quelconque du rayonnage est immédiat, et il n'est pas nécessaire de devoir dépiler une partie des produits stockés pour atteindre l'objet recherché.In addition, access to any rack on the shelf is immediate, and it is not necessary to have to unstack some of the stored products to reach the desired object.

Pour des applications industrielles, c'est principalement le rayonnage métallique qui est employé en raison de sa robustesse et sa capacité à soutenir des charges élevées. Pour des applications domestiques, des rayonnages en bois peuvent être utilisés.For industrial applications, it is mainly the metal shelving that is used because of its robustness and its ability to support high loads. For domestic applications, wooden shelves can be used.

Les fabricants de rayonnages métalliques s'efforcent de proposer à leur clientèle un ensemble modulaire qui peut être configuré selon les circonstances rencontrées. Il est en effet indispensable principalement pour des raisons de coût d'avoir une fabrication standard qui, lors du montage, est assemblée pour former un rayonnage métallique adapté aux besoins.The manufacturers of metal shelving endeavor to offer their customers a modular assembly which can be configured according to the circumstances encountered. It is indeed essential mainly for cost reasons to have a standard manufacturing which, during assembly, is assembled to form a metal shelving adapted to the needs.

On peut tout d'abord construire une armature à l'aide de montants traverses et longerons assemblés au moyen d'éléments de fixation démontables tels que vis et écrous. Les différentes tablettes destinées à supporter la charge sont ensuite placées sur des taquets fixés sur les montants. Cette technique permet d'ajuster la hauteur des tablettes.We can first of all build a frame using crosspieces and side members assembled by means of removable fastening elements such as screws and nuts. The various shelves intended to support the load are then placed on cleats fixed on the uprights. This technique allows you to adjust the height of the shelves.

On peut cependant reprocher à ce type de montage d'être difficilement modifiable une fois installé. S'il est facile de modifier la hauteur ou le nombre de tablettes, par contre, toute modification dans la structure porteuse demande un démontage intégral de l'armature. En outre, le temps de pose de ce type de rayonnage est assez long en raison de la mise en place des nombreux boulons.We can however criticize this type of assembly for being difficult to modify once installed. If it is easy to modify the height or the number of shelves, on the other hand, any modification in the supporting structure requires an integral disassembly of the frame. In addition, the installation time for this type of shelving is quite long due to the placement of the numerous bolts.

On connait également les rayonnages métalliques dont les tablettes assurent la cohésion métallique. Dans ce type de rayonnage, la tablette est fixée aux montants dont elle assure le maintien. Ce type de rayonnage est faiblement évolutif, par ailleurs, toute modification dans la configuration demande un démontage complet. Il concerne principalement le classement de dossiers.We also know the metal shelves whose shelves ensure metal cohesion. In this type of shelving, the shelf is fixed to the uprights which it maintains. This type of shelving is slightly evolving, moreover, any modification in the configuration requires a complete disassembly. It mainly concerns the filing of files.

Le but principal de la présente invention est de présenter un rayonnage métallique qui puisse être assemblé très rapidement et sans difficulté selon une configuration personnalisée. En outre, toute modification d'architecture par adjonction à l'existant peut être réalisée sans démontage préalable. Il s'agit d'un atout appréciable pour la clientèle qui, bien souvent, est amenée à évoluer.The main purpose of the present invention is to present a metal shelving which can be assembled very quickly and without difficulty according to a personalized configuration. In addition, any architectural modification by adding to the existing one can be carried out without prior disassembly. This is an appreciable asset for the clientele, which very often has to evolve.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de présenter un rayonnage métallique semi-autoporteur c'est-à-dire qu'il ne présente pas d'armature de soutien fixe mais les traverses et longerons déterminent néamoins le positionnement des montants.Another object of the present invention is to present a semi-self-supporting metal shelving, that is to say that it does not have a fixed support frame but the crosspieces and longitudinal members nonetheless determine the positioning of the uprights.

D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaitront au cours de la description qui va suivre, qui n'est cependant donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter.Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description which follows, which is however only given for information and which is not intended to limit it.

Le rayonnage métallique destiné notamment au stockage industriel et professionnel, formé de montants profilés reliés par des longerons et traverses qui assurent le soutien des tablettes de rangement, est caractérisé par le fait que les traverses présentent des moyens de fixation sur les montants et les longerons disposent de moyens d'appui qui viennent s'imbriquer dans les dits moyens de fixation pour être supportés par ces derniers.The metal shelving intended in particular for industrial and professional storage, formed of profiled uprights connected by beams and crosspieces which provide support for the storage shelves, is characterized in that the crosspieces have means of attachment to the uprights and the beams have support means which are nested in said fixing means to be supported by the latter.

La présente invention vise un rayonnage métallique destiné notamment au stockage industriel et professionnel.The present invention relates to metal shelving intended in particular for industrial and professional storage.

L'utilisation de rayonnages en matière d'emmagasinage s'est largement développée ces dernières années en raison des économies qu'elle procure et des progrès accomplis dans le domaine des engins de manutention. On bénéficie d'un gain de surface au sol occupée et de facilité d'accès. Par ailleurs, les rayonnages sont évolutifs et peuvent se configurer en fonction des circonstances rencontrées.The use of shelving for storage has grown considerably in recent years because of the savings it provides and the progress made in the field of handling equipment. There is a gain in occupied floor space and ease of access. In addition, the shelves are upgradeable and can be configured according to the circumstances encountered.

On connait principalement deux catégories de rayonnages métalliques, les rayonnages qui se composent d'une armature rigide dans lesquels les tablettes assurent une simple fonction de support. Ce type de matériel est principalement destiné aux charges lourdes. Il existe également les rayonnages métalliques plus spécialement destinés aux équipements de bureau pour le classement de dossiers pour lesquels les tablettes jouent non seulement un rôle de support mais également assurent la cohésion du châssis en maintenant les montants.There are mainly two categories of metal shelving, shelving which consists of a rigid frame in which the shelves provide a simple support function. This type of material is mainly intended for heavy loads. There are also metal shelves more specifically intended for office equipment for the classification of files for which the shelves not only play a supporting role but also ensure the cohesion of the chassis by maintaining the uprights.

L'élément de fixation utilisé pour joindre les pièces des rayonnages métalliques actuels est principalement le boulon. Malheureusement, cet organe est long à assembler et nécessite un outillage. Par ailleurs, toute modification de l'architecture du rayonnage nécessite un démontage intégral de celui-ci. Dans ces conditions, toute transformation doit être accomplie par un homme de l'art, ce qui est coûteux.The fixing element used to join the pieces of current metal shelving is mainly the bolt. Unfortunately, this body takes a long time to assemble and requires tools. Furthermore, any modification of the shelving architecture requires that it be completely dismantled. Under these conditions, any transformation must be carried out by a person skilled in the art, which is expensive.

Le rayonnage métallique de type tubulaire de la présente invention permet d'être assemblé sans utilisation d'outillages auxiliaires. Par ailleurs, il est possible à tout moment de démonter une tablette superflue ou au contraire d'en assembler une sans devoir procéder à un démontage quelconque des pièces existantes. Dans ces conditions, toute modification d'architecture peut se faire sans aucune connaissance préalable et est à la portée de personnel sans expérience. Les éléments standards de montage sont réduits, ce qui permet d'offrir un grand choix de configurations possibles à un faible coût de fabrication.The metal shelving of the tubular type of the present invention makes it possible to be assembled without the use of auxiliary tools. In addition, it is possible at any time to dismantle an unnecessary shelf or on the contrary to assemble one without having to proceed with any disassembly of existing parts. Under these conditions, any modification of architecture can be done without any prior knowledge and is within the reach of personnel without experience. The standard mounting elements are reduced, which makes it possible to offer a large choice of possible configurations at a low manufacturing cost.

La figure 1 schématise un rayonnage métallique 1 de type tubulaire selon la présente invention. D'aspect extérieur, le rayonnage de l'invention est semblable à ceux existants, il dispose de tablettes 2 de rangement sur lesquelles on peut entreposer les objets à stocker. Le nombre de tablettes 2 et le positionnement vertical de ces tablettes est déterminé en fonction du gabarit des objets à ranger.Figure 1 shows schematically a metal rack 1 of tubular type according to the present invention. From the outside, the shelving of the invention is similar to those existing, it has shelves 2 for storage on which the objects to be stored can be stored. The number of shelves 2 and the vertical positioning of these shelves is determined according to the size of the objects to be stored.

Le rayonnage métallique 1 comprend des montants 3 verticaux de soutien des tablettes 2. Ces montants 3 peuvent être en une ou plusieurs parties emboitées, ceci étant fonction de la hauteur à atteindre et de la longueur standard de fabrication des montants 3.The metal shelving 1 comprises vertical uprights 3 for supporting the shelves 2. These uprights 3 may be in one or more nested parts, this being a function of the height to be reached and the standard length of manufacture of the uprights 3.

Des pieds 4 sont disposés généralement à la base des montants 3 pour offrir un appui stable sur le sol.Feet 4 are generally arranged at the base of the uprights 3 to provide stable support on the ground.

Les montants 3 profilés sont reliés par des longerons 5 et traverses 6 qui assurent également le soutien des tablettes 2. L'ensemble des montants 3, longerons 5 et traverses 6 constituent l'armature du rayonnage 1. Les tablettes 2 n'ont qu'un rôle accessoire de soutien des objets stockés et peuvent être ôtées sans compromettre l'équilibre de l'ensemble.The uprights 3 sections are connected by side rails 5 and crosspieces 6 which also provide support for the shelves 2. All of the uprights 3, side rails 5 and crosspieces 6 constitute the frame of the shelving 1. The shelves 2 have only an accessory role of support of the stored objects and can be removed without compromising the balance of the whole.

La figure 2 montre en vue de détail les différents éléments constituant l'armature du rayonnage métallique 1. Dans l'exemple choisi, outre les longerons 5, les traverses 6 sont reliées par une barre centrale 7 qui vient se loger dans une échancrure 8 pratiquée au centre la traverse 6 pour renforcer le soutien des tablettes non illustré. Les tablettes peuvent être des pièces de tôle découpée ou également par exemple des planches de bois.Figure 2 shows in detail the different elements constituting the frame of the metal shelving 1. In the example chosen, in addition to the side members 5, the cross members 6 are connected by a central bar 7 which is housed in a notch 8 formed in the center the cross 6 to strengthen the support of the shelves not shown. The shelves can be pieces of cut sheet metal or also, for example, wooden planks.

Ce qui est important de remarquer, c'est qu'aucune des traverses 6 n'est commune à deux tablettes 2 voisines même si celle-ci sont placées sur le même niveau. Cette caractéristique permet de rendre totalement indépendante la mise en place de tablettes de part et d'autre d'un montant 3. Aussi bien le montage que le démontage peuvent être réalisés sur un côté du montant 3 sans avoir à prendre en considération le montage existant placé sur l'autre côté du dit montant 3.What is important to note is that none of the crosspieces 6 is common to two neighboring shelves 2 even if the latter are placed on the same level. This characteristic makes it possible to make the placement of shelves on each side of an upright 3 completely independent. Both assembly and disassembly can be carried out on one side of the upright 3 without have to take into consideration the existing mounting placed on the other side of the said upright 3.

Selon l'une des caractéristiques de construction du rayonnage métallique de la présente invention, les traverses 6 présentent des moyens de fixation sur les montants 3 et les longerons 5 disposent de moyens d'appui qui viennent s'imbriquer dans les dits moyens de fixation des traverses 6 pour être supportés par ces dernières.According to one of the construction characteristics of the metal shelving of the present invention, the crosspieces 6 have fixing means on the uprights 3 and the side rails 5 have support means which come to be nested in the said means for fixing the sleepers 6 to be supported by them.

La figure 3 montre en vue de dessus la fixation des traverses 6 sur les montants 3. Ces moyens de fixation 9 s'accrochent latéralement sur le montant 3. Les moyens 9 sont également légèrement déportés vers le bas tel que cela est illustré aux figures 4 et 5 qui représentent respectivement de part et d'autre du montant 3 en vue de côté la fixation de la traverse 6 sur ce montant 3.Figure 3 shows a top view of the fixing of the crosspieces 6 on the uprights 3. These fixing means 9 are hooked laterally on the upright 3. The means 9 are also slightly offset downward as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 which respectively represent on either side of the upright 3 in side view the fixing of the cross-member 6 on this upright 3.

Dans l'exemple choisi, les moyens de fixation 9 se présentent sous la forme d'une aile 10 déportée fixée à l'extrémité de la traverse 6 qui comporte des clips de fixation 11, ceux-ci coopérant avec des orifices 12 pratiqués de chaque côté des montants 3.In the example chosen, the fixing means 9 are in the form of a remote wing 10 fixed to the end of the cross-member 6 which comprises fixing clips 11, these cooperating with orifices 12 formed in each side of uprights 3.

Les montants 3 sont régulièrement perforés d'orifices 12 et les clips de fixation 11 viennent s'emboiter dans les dits orifices 12. Par conséquent, la mise en place d'une traverse 6 ne pose aucune difficulté et aucun outillage. On pourra remarquer que l'entraxe des montants 3 reste fixe et donc la mise en place d'une traverse 6 peut se faire sans démontage des traverses existantes. A la figure 3, on a illustré une seconde traverse 6 en pointillés placée au même niveau que la traverse existante pour montrer que sa mise en place ne gêne aucunement celle déjà placée. Grâce à la fixation latérale de la traverse 6, sa mise en place ne demande aucune modification de l'entraxe des montants 3.The uprights 3 are regularly perforated with orifices 12 and the fixing clips 11 are fitted into the said orifices 12. Consequently, the installation of a cross-member 6 poses no difficulty and no tools. It will be noted that the distance between the uprights 3 remains fixed and therefore the installation of a cross member 6 can be done without dismantling the existing cross members. In FIG. 3, a second dotted cross-member 6 has been illustrated, placed at the same level as the existing cross-member to show that its positioning does not hinder that already placed. Thanks to the lateral fixing of the cross-member 6, its installation does not require any modification of the distance between the uprights 3.

Les montants 3 sont de forme profilée en C régulièrement perforés.The uprights 3 are of C-shape regularly perforated.

Les longerons 5 disposent d'un guidage dans les montants creux 3 et viennent en butée sur les moyens de fixation 9 des traverses 6. Ce guidage est assuré par une cornière 13 mise en place à l'extrémité du longeron 5 tel que cela est illustré à la figure 6. Cette cornière en forme de L est placée transversalement au longeron 5 de telle sorte qu'elle puisse venir s'emboiter dans la fente du montant profilé en forme de C tel que cela est illustré en vue de dessus à la figure 7. La cornière 13 épouse la forme d'une boucle du montant profilé de sorte à obtenir un guidage vertical.The longitudinal members 5 have a guide in the hollow uprights 3 and come into abutment on the fixing means 9 of the crosspieces 6. This guide is provided by an angle 13 placed at the end of the longitudinal member 5 as illustrated in Figure 6. This L-shaped angle iron is placed transversely to the beam 5 so that it can fit into the slot of the C-shaped profiled upright as illustrated in top view in Figure 7. The angle iron 13 follows the shape of a loop of the profiled upright so as to obtain a vertical guide.

Par construction, un léger espace est laissé entre la traverse 6 et le montant 3 tel qu'illustré à la figure 4, cet intervalle 14 permet à la cornière 13 de venir s'intercaler entre celle-ci et le montant 3. Le déport vers le bas des moyens de fixation 9 de la traverse 6 doit correspondre sensiblement à la dimension transversale du longeron 5 afin qu'une fois la cornière 13 emboitée dans le montant 3, celle-ci vienne reposer sur l'aile 10 et la surface supérieure du longeron 5 affleure celle de la traverse 6.By construction, a slight space is left between the cross-member 6 and the upright 3 as illustrated in FIG. 4, this interval 14 allows the angle iron 13 to come between it and the upright 3. The offset to the bottom of the fastening means 9 of the cross-member 6 must correspond substantially to the transverse dimension of the spar 5 so that once the angle iron 13 fitted into the upright 3, the latter comes to rest on the wing 10 and the upper surface of the spar 5 is flush with that of the cross-member 6.

Pour favoriser le passage de la cornière 13 entre le montant 3 et l'aile 10, celle-ci comporte un repliage 15 tel qu'illustré à la figure 3 qui écarte l'aile 10 du montant 3 dans la partie intérieure de celui-ci. Latéralement, il y a plaquage de la surface de l'aile 10 sur le montant 3 et intérieurement, l'aile 10 s'écarte du montant 3 depuis le repliage 15 pour laisser un intervalle correspondant à l'épaisseur de la cornière 13. L'emboitement de celle-ci est donc facilité.To favor the passage of the angle 13 between the upright 3 and the wing 10, the latter comprises a folding 15 as illustrated in FIG. 3 which separates the wing 10 from the upright 3 in the interior part thereof . Laterally, there is plating of the surface of the wing 10 on the upright 3 and internally, the wing 10 moves away from the upright 3 from the folding 15 to leave an interval corresponding to the thickness of the angle 13. L nesting thereof is therefore facilitated.

Il faut noter que, plutôt qu'un déport vers le bas des moyens de fixation 9 de la traverse 6, on aurait également pu opter pour la réalisation d'une fente dans l'aile 10 correspondant à l'intervalle 14 pour atteindre le même objectif. Dans ce dernier cas, il aurait toutefois fallu dimensionner la cornière 13 de telle sorte que non seulement le montant profilé en C 3 puisse venir se loger à l'intérieur mais également la surépaisseur occasionnée par la présence de l'aile 10.It should be noted that, rather than a downward offset of the fixing means 9 of the cross-member 6, one could also have opted for the creation of a slit in the wing 10 corresponding to the interval 14 to achieve the same goal. In the latter case, however, it would have been necessary to dimension the angle iron 13 so that not only the profiled amount of C 3 can be housed inside but also the extra thickness caused by the presence of the wing 10.

De même que pour la traverse 6, la mise en place des longerons 5 peut être réalisée sans modification de l'entraxe des montants 3 et par conséquent, sans démontage préalable du rayonnage métallique. Toute modification dans la mise en place des étagères sur le rayonnage métallique de l'invention peut être obtenue sans aucune modification de l'existant.As with the cross-member 6, the placing of the side members 5 can be carried out without modifying the distance between the uprights 3 and therefore without prior dismantling of the metal shelving. Any modification in the positioning of the shelves on the metal shelving of the invention can be obtained without any modification of the existing.

D'autres mises en oeuvre de la présente invention, à la portée de l'Homme de l'Art, auraient également pu être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Other implementations of the present invention, within the reach of ordinary skill in the art, could also have been envisaged without departing from the scope thereof.
