Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device for objects of great length, intended in particular for presentation of the all-purpose bars in the shelves of stores.
  • a busbar constituting a set of bars may have two or more bars.
  • a first way is to assemble the bars by elastics, by their reference labels in in the form of bands, or by clips, and to arrange these horizontal bars on shelves, possibly inclined, or equivalent of store shelves.
  • a second way is to wrap the bars in cardboard boxes and arrange the boxes to horizontally or vertically.
  • the traditional horizontal shelving includes many disadvantages: the 50 cm at the bottom of the shelving are not very usable, the arrangement in shelves requires design enough space between them to choose and extract the busbars. The readability of labels vary by floor.
  • Cardboard packaging allows a disposition to vertically, but these packages are expensive, pose recycling problems and get damaged over time manipulations.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks above by proposing in particular a fastening device bars between them, economical and which allows the vertical arrangement on suitable shelving.
  • the invention therefore refers to a fastening device, specifically adapted to the vertical presentation of all-purpose bars for motor vehicles, appearing for pairs in by games, of the type comprising an element for fixing said bars together, this item. comprising arms assembled in pairs at the ends of a central region.
  • the tongue is rotatably mounted on the element of attachment.
  • the attachment means is an eyecup.
  • the bars are attached between them or hooked by at least one such device of attachment.
  • shelving for bars attached by such fastening devices has a bottom in a vertical plane and at least one horizontal row of pins, parallel to each other, a section adapted to the eyecup of the device which pins are mounted on the bottom vertical, in a direction almost orthogonal to this background, their length in this direction allowing to hang several bars on the same spindle, and which pins are spaced from each other, horizontally, by such that the distance between two busbars, hung on two contiguous pins in the same row is less than 5 cm.
  • the attachment device according to the invention and such that illustrated, by way of example, in FIGS. 1 to 3 is specifically intended for the assembly of bars, and particular of all-purpose bars used on motor vehicles, in particular for their transport and their presentation on store shelves.
  • the carrier bars known on the market are bars of oval section with dimensions 38x20 mm or bars of rectangular section of dimensions 30x20 mm.
  • the fastening device is formed of a tongue 1 intended for attachment and an element attachment 2 intended for the assembly of the bars.
  • the tongue has a main tab 1.2.
  • a eyepiece 1.3 extends a first end region of this main leg 1.2.
  • a 1.4 marking tab can carry references, is arranged in the axis of the main tab 1.2, opposite the latter on the eyecup 1.3.
  • the second end region of this main tab is extended by the fastening element 2.
  • the directions vertical and horizontal are determined with respect to a position of the fastening device in which the latter is suspended by its eyecup 1.3, and in which the attachment element 2 is therefore located under the tongue 1.
  • Thickness also called depth, is defined as a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction and corresponds to the direction in which the dimension of the main tab 1.2 of tongue 1 is the weakest.
  • an eyecup 1.3 of triangular shape is provided to insert a pin 4.2 fixed mounting on a wall 4.1 of shelving 4.
  • Such a pin 4.2 is generally in the shape of a "U", the section of a branch of the "U” being circular about 4 mm in diameter, or cylindrical in section circular about 20 mm in diameter.
  • the eyepiece 1.3 has the shape of a triangle whose corners are rounded, two of the three angles of the triangle being located on a horizontal, the third angle being under this horizontal.
  • the radius of curvature of the angles is adapted to the section of a branch of "U" of said pin 4.2, the distance between the two angles on the side horizontal of the triangle being adapted to the distance between the two branches of "U", so that you can insert a such pin 4.2 in the eyepiece 1.3.
  • the triangle shape also allows you to insert a pin 4.2 cylindrical.
  • the side horizontal of the triangle has, on a central portion of its length, a curvature oriented towards the inside of the triangle and the lower corner, also rounded, has the same curvature adapted to the diameter of a section of cylindrical spindle, so that you can insert such a pin 4.2 in the eyecup 1.3.
  • a fastening element 2 is arranged in the extension of said leg main 1.2.
  • the fastening element 2 has four arms 2.1 identical and a central region 2.3.
  • the region end of said main leg 1.2 is assembled to a first end of the central region 2.3 hence leave two of the four arms 2.1
  • This first pair of arms 2.1 is arranged at this first end of the central region 2.3 along an axis main common to both arms 2.1, orthogonal to the axis principal of said central region 2.3, the regions 2.2 free ends of said arms 2.1 having opposite directions on this common main axis,
  • the second pair of arms 2.1 is arranged at a second end of the central region 2.3 along an axis main common to both arms 2.1, orthogonal to the axis principal of said central region 2.3, the regions 2.2 free ends of said arms 2.1 having opposite directions on this common main axis, this last axis being parallel to the common main axis of the first pair of arms 2.1, the distance between these two parallel axes being determined by the distance, on the main axis of the central region 2.3, between the two ends of said central region 2.3 of the element attachment 2.
  • the shape of the wall of the central region 2.3 which is also the base of the "U", is adapted to bars of rectangular section with dimensions 20x30 mm as at 20x38 mm oval section bars.
  • 2.6 holes are planned in the region center 2.3 of the fastening element 2, to insert there the tool for mounting the bars, for example a screwdriver, Allen key, etc.
  • a thinned region 1.1 consisting of a groove, provides freedom of rotation at an angle ⁇ , in a first sector of approximately 90 ° and at an angle ⁇ in a second sector of approximately 90 °, the second sector being arranged symmetrically to the first sector with respect to the plane of symmetry, orthogonal to the thickness, of the tongue of the fastening device.
  • the first sector also known as sector of angle ⁇
  • the second sector also called sector of the angle ⁇
  • the groove is arranged in an orthogonal strip, on the one hand to the thickness and on the other hand to the main axis of the tongue 1.
  • Another embodiment could provide one or more grooves 1.1 on each face of the tongue 1 without the object of the invention being found amended. For the rest, we consider that the region thinned 1.1 consists of a single groove on a single side of main tab 1.2 of tongue 1.
  • An angle ⁇ or ⁇ of 0 ° corresponds to a so-called position "natural", in which the thinned region 1.1 is not subject to no shear stress. This is the position shown in Figures 1 and 2, in which the fastening element 2 is vertical, which corresponds to a horizontal position of the bars 3 assembled by the fastening device.
  • An angle ⁇ of 90 ° corresponds to a so-called position "use” in which the thinned region 1.1 is subject to low shear forces: a arrangement according to ⁇ closes the thinned region 1.1. It is the position shown in Figure 3, in which the fastening element 2 is horizontal which corresponds to a vertical position of the bars 3 assembled by the fastening device.
  • An angle ⁇ of 90 ° corresponds to a position called “of shear "in which the thinned region 1.1 is subject to strong shear forces: a arrangement according to ⁇ distends the thinned region 1.1.
  • the tongue 1 can thus be detached from the element attachment 2.
  • the fastening device 2 is made of plastic, molded in one piece.
  • the arms 2.1 and the central region 2.3 include, in other parts of the attachment device, grooves 2.5, the purpose of which is to decrease the mass of material necessary for the manufacture of said device.
  • the invention also includes shelving 4 specifically adapted to fastening device.
  • This linear shelving 4 has a vertical bottom 4.1 133 cm wide, on which pins are mounted 4.2 in a horizontal row, the pins 4.2 being regularly spaced apart so as to constitute a row of at least 11 pins. This row is at about 190 cm from the ground, so that the bar labels hanging on it are legible at eye level. The space between two sets of bars hung on contiguous pins is less than 5 cm.
  • this shelving 4 includes drawers, shelves, brackets or an equivalent 4.3 so that it can be stored there bars 3 horizontally. Bars making generally about 120 cm in their "stowed" position, we have about 3 floors within 70 cm of the part low shelving for a horizontal arrangement.
  • Bars 3 are clipped at their ends between the arm 2.1 of the fastening device which has a sufficient elasticity to hold the bars together pinching.
  • the ratchet effect provided by the stopper 2.2 of the arms 2.1 advantageously completes the pinching to hold the bars.
  • Tab 1 is turned at an angle ⁇ of 90 ° to the attachment element 2, so as to put said tongue in position parallel to the bars 3.
  • the attachment device assembly 1, 2 and bars 3 is hung on a pin 4.2 of the shelving by the eyecup 1.3 of the attachment device.
  • the shelves vertical presentation allow offer on a linear of 133 cm wide, at least 60 pairs of bars, available in at least 14 references.
