Description

La présente invention est relative à une étagère à séparations.The present invention relates to a shelf with partitions.

Dans la grande distribution, notamment, on utilise, pour présenter les produits, des étagères comportant des séparations parallèles. Les produits identiques sont disposés entre deux séparations adjacentes, généralement les uns derrière les autres.In large retailers, in particular, shelves are used to present the products, with parallel partitions. Identical products are placed between two adjacent partitions, generally one behind the other.

Ces étagères comportent plusieurs séparations et, comme elles doivent recevoir des produits conditionnés qui présentent des dimensions différentes, il est nécessaire qu'elles soient amovibles de façon à pouvoir régler la distance entre deux séparations adjacentes.These shelves have several partitions and, since they must receive packaged products which have different dimensions, they must be removable so that the distance between two adjacent partitions can be adjusted.

Différents dispositifs ont été proposés pour permettre, après réglage, l'immobilisation des séparations. L'expérience a mis en évidence que ces dispositifs étaient peu fiables et d'une mise en oeuvre délicate. De plus, l'un des principaux inconvénients des dispositifs connus réside dans l'impossibilité d'ajuster exactement la distance entre deux séparations de façon à ce que cette distance s'adapte à la dimension des produits.Different devices have been proposed to allow, after adjustment, the immobilization of the partitions. Experience has shown that these devices are unreliable and difficult to implement. In addition, one of the main drawbacks of the known devices lies in the impossibility of adjusting the distance between two partitions exactly so that this distance adapts to the size of the products.

Le document GB-A-844324 décrit une étagère à séparations dont chaque séparation présente, à une extrémité, une partie rabattue en forme de crochet susceptible de s'accrocher derrière un rebord de l'étagère contre lequel il est plaqué en pression. Il ressort de ce document que chaque séparation est fixée sur l'étagère indépendemment l'une de l'autre.The document GB-A-844324 describes a shelf with partitions, each partition having, at one end, a folded portion in the form of a hook capable of hanging behind a rim of the shelf against which it is pressed against pressure. It appears from this document that each partition is fixed on the shelf independently of one another.

La présente invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est remarquable en ce que chaque séparation présente à l'une de ses extrémités, au moins, une partie rabattue, des moyens étant prévus pour agir simultanément contre lesdites parties rabattues de toutes les séparations présentes sur l'étagère de façon à immobiliser ces dernières.The present invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, is remarkable in that each partition has at least one of its ends at one end, a folded part, means being provided for acting simultaneously against said folded parts of all the partitions present on the shelf so as to immobilize them.

Les parties rabattues, ou pattes, s'étendent dans une rainure prévue le long de l'un des bords de l'étagère et sont appliquées, en pression, contre l'un ou l'autre des côtés de ladite rainureThe folded parts, or legs, extend in a groove provided along one of the edges of the shelf and are applied, by pressure, against one or the other of the sides of said groove

La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lesquels

The present invention will be better understood from the description which follows made with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the device of the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a partial sectional view taken along line II-II of Figure 3;

  • Figure 7 is a partial view, on a larger scale, taken along the line VII-VII of Figure 6, the movable members being shown in a position that the locking bar is not applied against the legs;
  • Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 7, the movable members being shown in a position in which the legs are locked.

En se reportant aux dessins, on voit que le problème posé consiste à immobiliser sur une étagère 1 des séparations telles que celle 2 de la figure 1.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the problem posed consists in immobilizing partitions 1 such as that 2 in FIG. 1 on a shelf 1.

Selon l'invention, ce résultat est obtenu en utilisant une séparation présentant, par exemple, une section en forme d'L, dont l'aile verticale constitue la séparation proprement dite et dont l'aile horizontale 3 repose sur l'étagère 1, l'une des extrémités, au moins, de l'aile 3 étant recourbée pour former une patte 4 susceptible de s'étendre contre le champ 5 de l'étagère 1.According to the invention, this result is obtained by using a partition having, for example, an L-shaped section, the vertical wing of which constitutes the actual partition and the horizontal wing 3 of which rests on the shelf 1, at least one of the ends of the wing 3 being curved to form a tab 4 capable of extending against the field 5 of the shelf 1.

Lorsque l'écartement entre les différentes séparations est réglé toutes les séparations sont immobilisées simultanément par l'application, en pression, d'une barre de verrouillage 6.When the spacing between the different partitions is set, all the partitions are immobilized simultaneously by applying, under pressure, a locking bar 6.

Il fait noter que, comme la patte 4 est repliée selon une ligne qui est perpendiculaire à la séparation, la pression exercée par la barre de verrouillage sur toutes les pattes tend à plaquer ces dernières contre le champ 5 de l'étagère. Cette action, outre qu'elle assure l'immobilisation de toutes les séparations, positionne automatiquement lesdites séparations perpendiculairement au champ de l'étagère.It should be noted that, as the tab 4 is folded along a line which is perpendicular to the separation, the pressure exerted by the locking bar on all the tabs tends to press the latter against the field 5 of the shelf. This action, in addition to ensuring the immobilization of all the partitions, automatically positions said partitions perpendicular to the field of the shelf.

Les figures 2 et 3 illustrent un mode de réalisation du dispositif de blocage de la barre de verrouillage 6.FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate an embodiment of the device for blocking the locking bar 6.

Le champ 5 de l'étagère forme l'un des côtés d'une rainure 7 dans laquelle est immobilisée axialement une vis 8 sur laquelle sont montés des écrous 9 présentant une partie plane 10 prenant appui contre le fond de ladite rainure 7. De cette façon, lorsqu'on manoeuvre la vis 8 les écrous 9 se déplacent selon son axe.The field 5 of the shelf forms one of the sides of a groove 7 in which is axially immobilized a screw 8 on which are mounted nuts 9 having a flat part 10 bearing against the bottom of said groove 7. From this way, when operating the screw 8 the nuts 9 move along its axis.

Chaque écrou présente une rampe 11 formant un angle avec la barre de verrouillage 6 disposée dans la rainure 7.Each nut has a ramp 11 forming an angle with the locking bar 6 disposed in the groove 7.

La face de la barre 6 disposée en regard des écrous 9 présente des bossages 12.The face of the bar 6 disposed opposite the nuts 9 has bosses 12.

On comprend, dès lors, que par la manoeuvre de la vis 8, il est possible de faire coopérer les rampes et les bossages 12 ce qui a pour effet de déplacer la barre 6 selon la flèche F de la figure 1 et de plaquer simultanément toutes les pattes 4 contre le champ 5.We understand, therefore, that by the operation of the screw 8, it is possible to cooperate the ramps and the bosses 12 which has the effect of moving the bar 6 according to the arrow F of Figure 1 and simultaneously tackle all legs 4 against the field 5.

Sur les figures 2 et 3 la commande de la rotation de la vis 8 s'effectue axialement à l'aide d'une clé spéciale du genre de celles pour vis à têtes creuses. De ce fait, si les différentes étagères sont très près les unes des autres, comme c'est généralement le cas, la manoeuvre de la vis 8 peut poser des problèmes. L'invention prévoit donc de commander la vis 8 à l'aide d'un renvoi d'angle de façon à ce que le verrouillage et le déverrouillage soient possibles en accédant au dispositif par le bord antérieur de l'étagère. Une telle réalisation n'a pas été représentée car elle est à la portée de l'homme de l'art.In FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotation of the screw 8 is controlled axially using a special key of the kind of those for socket head screws. Therefore, if the different shelves are very close to each other, as is generally the case, the operation of the screw 8 can cause problems. The invention therefore provides for controlling the screw 8 using a bevel gear so that locking and unlocking are possible by accessing the device from the front edge of the shelf. Such an embodiment has not been shown because it is within the reach of those skilled in the art.

Lorsque l'étagère est inclinée, il faut prévoir un moyen pour retenir les produits. La barre de verrouillage peut être utilisée à cet effet, il suffit pour cela que son champ 6a s'étende au-dessus de la face supérieure de l'étagère. Ce mode de réalisation n'est pas représenté.When the shelf is tilted, a means must be provided to retain the products. The locking bar can be used for this purpose, it suffices for this that its field 6a extends above the upper face of the shelf. This embodiment is not shown.

Un autre moyen, pour atteindre ce résultat, consiste à insérer entre les pattes 4 et la barre 6 une réglette 13 dont le bord supérieur s'étend au-dessus de la face supérieure de l'étagère.Another way, to achieve this result, is to insert between the legs 4 and the bar 6 a strip 13 whose upper edge extends above the upper face of the shelf.

La barre de verrouillage 6 peut présenter le long de son bord supérieur une partie rabattue 14 qui obture la rainure 7 lorsque ladite barre est en place.The locking bar 6 may have along its upper edge a folded portion 14 which closes the groove 7 when said bar is in place.

Le déplacement de la barre 6 peut être obtenu par un organe rotatif tel qu'un arbre, pourvu de cames, logé dans la rainure 7.The displacement of the bar 6 can be obtained by a rotary member such as a shaft, provided with cams, housed in the groove 7.

Le déplacement de la barre 6 peut, aussi, être obtenu, comme montré sur la figure 4, par des vis de pression 15 engagées dans des écrous 16 rendus solidaires de la face interne 17 du bord antérieur de la rainure 7. L'extrémité apparente de chaque vis peut présenter une empreinte n'autorisant la manoeuvre de ladite vis qu'à l'aide d'une clé spéciale pour éviter les actes de malveillance.The displacement of the bar 6 can also be obtained, as shown in FIG. 4, by pressure screws 15 engaged in nuts 16 made integral with the internal face 17 of the front edge of the groove 7. The visible end of each screw may have an imprint authorizing the operation of said screw only using a special key to avoid malicious acts.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'un des bords de l'étagère 1 présente une rainure 18 dans laquelle s'étendent les pattes 4 et ou est disposée la barre de verrouillage 6, ladite barre étant interposée entre lesdites pattes 4 et le côté 18a de la rainure adjacent au bord de l'étagère, des moyens étant prévus pour déplacer la barre 6 selon la flèche F1 de façon à plaquer les pattes 4 contre l'autre côté 18b de la rainure 18.According to another embodiment, one of the edges of the shelf 1 has a groove 18 in which extend the legs 4 and or is arranged the locking bar 6, said bar being interposed between said legs 4 and the side 18a of the groove adjacent to the edge of the shelf, means being provided for moving the bar 6 according to arrow F 1 so as to press the tabs 4 against the other side 18b of the groove 18.

La barre 6 est rendue solidaire d'une tige 19, traversant le côté 18b de la rainure 18. En exerçant une traction sur la tige 19, selon la flèche F1, on déplace dans le même sens la barre 6 et on plaque les pattes 4 contre le côté 18b.The bar 6 is made integral with a rod 19, crossing the side 18b of the groove 18. By exerting a traction on the rod 19, according to the arrow F 1 , the bar 6 is moved in the same direction and the legs are pressed 4 against side 18b.

L'extrémité de la tige 19 est articulée, par l'entremise d'un axe 20, entre les ailes d'une chape 21 située à l'extrémité d'un levier 22 et conformée pour constituer une came 23, comme cela ressort des figures 7 et 8.The end of the rod 19 is articulated, by means of an axis 20, between the wings of a yoke 21 situated at the end of a lever 22 and shaped to constitute a cam 23, as is apparent from the Figures 7 and 8.

Lorsque le levier 22 est dans la position représentée sur la figure 7, la barre de verrouillage n'est pas appliquée contre les pattes 4 et, à ce moment, on peut régler les distances entre les différentes séparations présentes sur l'étagère.When the lever 22 is in the position shown in FIG. 7, the locking bar is not applied against the legs 4 and, at this time, the distances between the different partitions present on the shelf can be adjusted.

Si, à partir de cette position, on fait pivoter le levier 22 selon la flèche F2, on déplace la tige 19 selon la flèche F1, sous l'action de la came 23.If, from this position, the lever 22 is pivoted according to the arrow F 2 , the rod 19 is displaced according to the arrow F 1 , under the action of the cam 23.

Dans la pratique, chaque barre de verrouillage présente deux tiges 19 et les leviers 22 sont disposés de façon à ce que leurs extrémités 22a soient en vis-à-vis lorsque les pattes 4 sont verrouillées (fig.8). Dans cette position il est facile de condamner le pivotement des deux leviers à l'aide d'une serrure manoeuvrable par une clef (non représentée).In practice, each locking bar has two rods 19 and the levers 22 are arranged so that their ends 22a are opposite when the tabs 4 are locked (fig.8). In this position it is easy to lock the pivoting of the two levers using a lock which can be operated by a key (not shown).

Si la tige 19 traverse librement la barre 6 et est munie d'une tête 19a, un ressort 24 est interposé entre ladite barre et le côté 18b.If the rod 19 freely crosses the bar 6 and is provided with a head 19a, a spring 24 is interposed between said bar and the side 18b.

Pour éviter que les leviers ne pivotent autour des axes des liqes 19, les extrémités des axes 20 sont guidées entre les ailes d'une chape dont la partie médiane, qui est traversée par ladite tige 19, est fixée contre la face externe 25 du côté 18b.To prevent the levers from pivoting around the axes of the lines 19, the ends of the axes 20 are guided between the wings of a yoke whose middle part, which is crossed by said rod 19, is fixed against the external face 25 on the side 18b.

Comme, cela ressort de la figure 6, la barre 6 peut être utilisée pour maintenir une réglette 26, analogue à celle 13. La partie inférieure de cette réglette peut être doublée à l'aide d'une bande 27 réalisée en une matière élastiquement déformable.As can be seen from FIG. 6, the bar 6 can be used to hold a strip 26, similar to that 13. The lower part of this strip can be doubled using a strip 27 made of an elastically deformable material .

Il y a lieu de noter que les séparations peuvent présenter une section quelconque: en Té, carrée, etc.It should be noted that the partitions can have any section: Tee, square, etc.

Il y a lieu de noter, aussi, que les séparations peuvent être creuses et former des boîtiers, pourvus ou non d'un fond, reposant sur l'étagère.It should also be noted that the partitions can be hollow and form boxes, with or without a bottom, resting on the shelf.

Enfin, les séparations peuvent présenter une patte à chacune de leurs extrémités. Dans ce cas, la barre de verrouillage est déplacée de façon à plaquer les pattes contre le champ de l'étagère opposé à celui 5. Les moyens décrits en regard des figures 5 à 8 peuvent être utilisés à cet effet, étant bien entendu que, dans ce cas, les pattes soumises directement à l'action de la barre 6 ne sont pas appliquées contre le bord 18b de la rainure.Finally, the partitions may have a tab at each of their ends. In this case, the locking bar is moved so as to press the legs against the field of the shelf opposite that 5. The means described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8 can be used for this purpose, it being understood that, in this case, the tabs subjected directly to the action of the bar 6 are not applied against the edge 18b of the groove.
