Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coupling device particularly but not exclusively useful for light-duty metal sets of shelves.
  • Such sets of shelves are used either to support miscellaneous lightweight items, such as for example ornaments, books, etcetera, but are also used to support items that are heavier and most of all moved frequently.
  • said so-called "light-duty" sets of shelves are currently substantially constituted by uprights, possibly reinforced with cross-members, whereon the metallic shelves are fixed by means of coupling devices.
  • a first coupling device substantially entails the use of bolts insertable in holes formed in the uprights and in the shelves.
  • a second coupling device substantially provides for cantilevered brackets that are formed directly either in the shelf or in the uprights.
  • Such cantilevered brackets fit in appropriately provided holes, which are also formed in the uprights or in the shelves.
  • This second coupling device despite being easy to assemble and disassemble, has drawbacks that can be substantially identified at a structural level.
  • the bracket in view of its cantilevered structure and because of the mechanism for its insertion in the corresponding hole, in fact undergoes, during use, considerable shearing stresses that considerably limit its overall load-bearing capacity.
  • DE-A-15 54 465 discloses a coupling device for coupling upright members (1) with horizontal members (1a).
  • the coupling device includes a U-shaped clip (6) having two parallel limbs (9) inserted through a pair of oblong apertures (5) formed in the upright member (1). Each limb (9) is folded outward to form a U-shaped wedge channel whose bottom (10) forms an angle with the longitudinal vertical axis of the upright member.
  • the coupling device also includes a U-shaped channel assembly piece (7) fastened (e.g. by welding) to the end of the horizontal member (1a).
  • the U-shaped piece (7) has a base (11) and parallel sides (12) whose edges are folded over in U-shaped each forming a wedge (13) which is engaged in a respective wedge channel (10) of the clip (6), thereby to connect the horizontal member (1a) to the upright member (1).
  • US-A-2 147 759 discloses a demountable stand having fastening means for fastening upright walls (6,8,9a,10,13,15) of horizontal shelves (4,9,12,14) to vertical angle bar corner standards (1,2,11).
  • the fastening means include sockets (17) pressed from the upright walls of the shelves to leave the top (17a) open and the bottom bent as a stop, and vertically disposed pairs of tongues (16) cutaway from the standards at tops and sides to leave a lower end inward shoulder with the tongues projecting thence upwardly spaced from the standard walls.
  • the shelves may be releasably interlocked with the uprights in which the tongues are inserted in the sockets to engage or contact tightly against the upright walls of the shelves, and in which the coengaged parts may be pressed together by suitable tools to engage tightly together.
  • GB-A-1 287 394 discloses a shelving frame structure having horizontal crosspieces (12) connected to upright members (10) by couplings.
  • the couplings comprise L-shaped end portions (14) connected to the ends of the crosspieces and provided with nearly square shaped perforations (40) having tapered tongues (41 ) extending bent beyond the surface from which they project, and slots (30) formed on the face of the uprights with inwardly and outwardly projecting boundaries (31,32).
  • the tongues are slid into the slots in a direction (B) forming an angle ( ⁇ ) with respect to the vertical axis of the uprights.
  • a principal aim of the present invention is to provide a coupling device for light-duty metal sets of shelves that solves the drawbacks described above in conventional devices, particularly by combining very easy assembly and disassembly of said sets of shelves, considerable mechanical strength, and a substantially complete lack of shearing stresses, which would severely compromise the maximum load that could be supported.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a coupling device the execution whereof entails production costs and times that are competitive with respect to conventional coupling devices.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a coupling device that is reliable over time and does not require maintenance.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a coupling device that can be easily adapted to the various types of set of shelves provided particularly for various fields of use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a coupling device that can be manufactured with conventional technologies and can be assembled even by unskilled personnel having no particular technical knowledge.
  • a whereof is the vertical (angle ⁇ ), so that an end portion 20, related to the end 16, located in an upward region when the set of shelves 10 is assembled, is transversely larger than an end portion 21 related to the end 17 and arranged downwardly when the set of shelves 10 is assembled.
  • the median portion 18 is inclined, when the set of shelves 10 is assembled, with respect to the corresponding shelf 13 so as to diverge downwardly from said shelf.
  • a coupling device 11 furthermore comprises a female component, generally designated by the reference numeral 22, which in this case is formed in the corresponding upright 12.
  • each one of the uprights 12 there is provided a plurality of female components 22 arranged mutually in succession along two vertical directions, each direction being related to a corresponding wing of the respective upright 12.
  • Each one of the female components 18 is constituted by a slotted hole comprising an insertion section 23, to be arranged upwards, the transverse dimensions whereof are adapted to allow the easy insertion of the bracket 15, the transverse dimension whereof is also set by the corresponding teeth 19.
  • the slotted hole is shaped so as to taper sharply, starting from the insertion section 23, so as to form an anchoring section 24 where the teeth 19 perform their fixing action when the bracket 15 is inserted.
  • the anchoring section 24 tapers in a linear fashion and is arranged with respect to the insertion section 23 so as to form an interference-fit coupling with a coupling device for light-duty metal sets of shelves, according to the invention, is used in a first embodiment in a set of shelves generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and is generally designated by the reference numeral 11.
  • the set of shelves 10 has, in this case, uprights 12 with an L-shaped cross-section and shelves designated by the reference numeral 13.
  • the coupling device 11 comprises, in this first embodiment, a male component that is generally designated by the reference numeral 14 and is formed by cutting and plastic deformation from the edge of a corresponding shelf 13.
  • Each one of the male components 14 comprises a bracket 15 protruding from the corresponding shelf 13 and having ends 16 and 17 monolithically joined to said shelf.
  • the bracket 15 is constituted, in this case, by a strip that is curved at the ends 16 and 17 and in which the convex portion protrudes with respect to the corresponding shelf 13.
  • bracket 15 is arranged, when the set of shelves 10 is assembled, in a direction diverging downwards (angle ⁇ ).
  • a median portion 18 of the bracket 15 is substantially flat and two mutually opposite teeth 19 protrude from said portion, said teeth being arranged along a straight line that is substantially perpendicular to the line along which said bracket 15 lies.
  • bracket 15 has lateral edges that form an angle diverging upwardly and the bisecting line corresponding bracket 15.
  • said interference-fit coupling in addition to substantially completely eliminating shearing stresses, causes heavy loads arranged on a shelf 13 to produce self-locking of the coupling device 11.
  • the slotted hole related to the female component 22 is arranged, as regards its overall longitudinal extension, in a substantially vertical direction when the set of shelves 10 is assembled.
  • a coupling device for light-duty metal sets of shelves in a second embodiment thereof, is generally designated by the reference numeral 200.
  • the device 200 in this case, is applied to a set of shelves provided with uprights 201 with which shelves 202 are associated.
  • the device 200 comprises a male component that is generally designated by the reference numeral 203 and is connected to a corresponding shelf 202; said male component is constituted by two symmetrical vertical wings 204 the free edges whereof are opposite to each other and are folded so as to diverge downwardly from the plane from which they protrude (angle ⁇ ").
  • the wings 204 are formed by cutting and plastic deformation directly from the edge of the corresponding shelf 202.
  • the cut of the part that becomes the free edge once deformation has occurred is diagonal with respect to the vertical direction, so that the final overall bulk of the male component 203 tapers substantially downwards (angle ⁇ ").
  • the male component 203 can be inserted in one of a plurality of female components 205 (holes) that are formed in one of the wings of a respective upright 201; said female component is constituted by a through hole having a substantially trapezoidal shape.
  • the hole 205 tapers downwards so as to match the taper of the male component 203, so that when the corresponding set of shelves 202 is mounted on corresponding uprights 201, any load placed thereon increases the interference fit between the free edge of the wings 204 and the edge that forms the corresponding hole 205.
  • the coupling device according to the invention despite being very simple and quick to assemble and disassemble without damaging its components, ensures stable anchoring to the set of shelves, since it is self-locking when heavy objects are positioned; indeed, said objects, by bearing on the corresponding brackets, increase the interference forces that said brackets perform with the anchoring section.
  • the coupling is in fact performed through the action of a double inclination of the components (produced by their arrangement and/or tapered configuration), so that during snap-action coupling between the upright and the shelf there is provided a double intervention of forces acting in mutually perpendicular directions that are at right angles to the insertion direction.
  • the device can be assembled even by unspecialized personnel and that it can be produced with great economy of scale due to the simplicity of the machining operations it entails.
  • Another remark regarding the present invention relates to the fact that it entails, due both to its easy and quick production and to its basic structural simplicity, extremely low costs that are in any case competitive with respect to conventional devices.
  • the materials and the dimensions may be any according to the requirements.
