Definitions

  • This invention has for object a structure with modular elements for the technical-functional furnishing of interiors, particularly a shelving.
  • the innovation finds particular even if not exclusive application in the field of food industry and in collective refreshment.
  • a Shelving with removable corner structures that discloses a shelf has a generally rectangular planar member having truncated corners.
  • the planar member is provided with peripheral skirts which extend substantially normally to the plane defined by the planar member.
  • the portions of the skirts in the regions of the truncated corners define support flanges when the planar member comprises a sheet metal member.
  • the support flange comprises upper and lower sets of peripheral wires which are diagonally bent and form extensions extending about the corners of the planar member.
  • the support flanges extend substantially normally to the plane defined by the planar member.
  • a corner connector has a corner structure adapted to be mounted on a post structure and to at least partially receive a respective support flange.
  • a clamping bar is positioned on the other side of a support flange relative to an associated corner structure. Screws are utilized to draw the corner structure and clamping bar together with a respective support flange positioned therebetween.
  • a first typology of modular structure for special uses derives from the common shelvings, where, to a series of uprights, provided with feet also adjustable, are connected some shelves by screw means. More in detail, the section of each upright is made of a square tube, unlike the most common section bars having an "L" like section, in which at least along two of the adjoining sides, on four, are provided some through holes, equidistant and symmetrical, through which are introduced the screws for fixing the corresponding shelf, having generally a rectangular plan. In some cases, the shelf appears as provided with a perimetral frame for the support of a wide surface grate, also obtained in polyurethane.
  • the section of said frame is made of a square tube, perimetrically providing in correspondence of the four corners, some spaces, so that in their inside can be housed a part of the upright on two adjoining surfaces.
  • the drawbacks regarding this solution are to be associated to the difficulty of installation, caused by using screws as means the mechanical fixing of the shelves. Practically the operation, especially for very large surfaces, needs a considerable time and a lot of labor.
  • Such a system besides, would have some unsteady points, such as, for example, the case of orthogonal junction of one shelf with another, in absence of a corresponding supporting upright on the internal side.
  • the structure besides being not excessively strong, is penalized by the use of transversal means whose ends passing through the uprights, are in conjunction with them. This may cause infiltrations of any kind of dirt, along the concerned upright, becoming therefore a suitable place for the proliferation of bacteria, and hardly accessible.
  • the structure has some rather high manufacturing costs of the various components, which are not compatible with the present needs of the users, who instead demand a good compromise between quality and purchase cost.
  • a third and last generation of shelvings aimed substantially to avoiding the drilling of uprights or of shelves. More in particular, the most simple of these, consists of a classic structure with four uprights with tubular and round section, provided at the bottom with pivoting small wheels, and of a series of corresponding shelves.
  • a final and more complete structure not having a national origin, to which reference is made, comprises some tubular uprights in this case square ones, whose sharp edges are caulked, deforming the material for obtaining some equidistant and symmetric punching.
  • Said punching have the purpose of being the reference for the fastening in pre-determined positions of the respective shelves.
  • each shelf is characterized by a rectangular frame obtained by the union of four rectilinear staves, two by two parallel and symmetrical, which hold a grate-like surface.
  • each shelf has a piece of square tube, in this case, having a conic shape, on whose lateral adjoining surfaces end, forming a single group, the ends of said staves.
  • each shelf is integrally provided with four through receptacles, one for each corner, in whose inside are coaxially insertable the respective uprights, provided with punchings.
  • a third element consists of an insert of plastic material, obtained in one single piece, also conical and with a quadrilateral section.
  • Said ring appears with no material along the surfaces, and besides provides on the internal surface, some protrusions.
  • Said insert during the installation of the shelving, is placed close to the desired height, and the same is done for the other uprights, then, always proceeding from the top downwards the first shelf is lowered, up to enclose the respective rings, having care of pushing the same furtherly downwards clamping the uprights.
  • One of these for example, consists in that it provides a hook, essentially “L” like seen from the side and in section consisting of a turned “U”, which on the top provides a re-folded portion which on a side is hooked along the transversal stave of a first profile, while on the other, placed lower, are obtained two teeth suitable to rest on the lower edge of the facing stave of an adjoining shelf to be connected.
  • Purpose of this invention is also that of allowing to obviate the mentioned drawbacks.
  • Figure 1 represents an exploded particular and group of the components which make up the shelving.
  • Figure 2. is a plan view of a component in particular of a core to be axially inserted into an external jacket for the clamping of an upright.
  • Figures from 3. to 6. represent respectively some plan side and section views of one of the two universal parts which make up the core of Figure 2.
  • Figure 7 is a plan view of a shelving structure, to which is orthogonally connected a shelf.
  • Figure 8. is a front view of a base shelving structure particularly to be used for food.
  • Figure 9. is a plan view of an accessory for the connection in continuity of the shelves in a shelving.
  • Figure 10. is a side and section view of the accessory of the previous Figure.
  • a shelving structure (A) of the type with modular elements particularly in steel to be used for food for the furnishing of interiors consists of a series of shelves (1) preferably having rectangular plan, supported one on another, by means of at least four corresponding uprights (2).
  • each upright (2) is a tube, at least on one side, the lower one, provided with an adjustable foot for resting on the ground, having a square section, with the corners rounded, and along two of which (3), diametrically opposed are obtained some equidistant punchings (4, 4 n ).
  • Each punching (4) locally deforms the angle portion concerned obtaining a kind of recess with the material exceeding in positive on the internal side of the upright (2).
  • each insert (5') is obtained in plastic material, and has a substantially "C" like shape perpendicularly developed, consisting of two short sections or lateral sides (6, 6') connected by a section or intermediate wall (6").
  • the intermediate wall provides two openings (7), one opposite and parallel to the other each one ending respectively in correspondence of the lower or upper edge of said wall (6'').
  • each side (6, 6') provides along the main profile, and alternatively made on one and the other, some reciprocal means for the engagement.
  • a first side (6) provides a protruding tooth (8), while the side (6') obtains, on the front side, always along the edge, a suitable seat (9) obtained by removing a part of the side, and intended for reciprocally housing the tooth (8) of an opposite and symmetric part (5').
  • the sides (6', 6" are cut with the sloping profile, so to provide a lower height on one side and the contrary on the other one.
  • each insert (5') in an intermediate position, concerning the internal surfaces of the side (6') and of the wall (7), provides an indentation (10) with a size not bigger than the punching (4) found along the upright (2) profile.
  • Said collar (11), having conic shape, is a quadrilateral similar to the shape of the upright (2), having along the perimetrical surfaces some suitable means for the engagement and support of the shelf (1).
  • Said means consist of a slide (12), steadily and in vertical associated in correspondence of at least one side (11') of each collar (11). Furtherly, always said slide (12), has on its side some guides (12') which engage locally the edge suitably pre-arranged of a corresponding shelf (1).
  • the tendency of said guides (12') is that of restraining their seat getting close to the lower part of the collar (11), thus allowing to diminish the slack, during the assembling, of the shelf (1) to the uprights (2).
  • the shape of the shelving structure (A) may be made available collars (11 ) with more ways, as for example two-ways, that is providing two similar slides (12), obtained on two adjoining sides, in the case of a structure to which may be necessary to add, in axis with a first shelf, a second shelf. While occasionally it may be also provided the use of a three or four-ways collar, therefore provided with three or four slides (12) for the engagement on the corresponding shelves.
  • the shelf (1) This in the case in point, is obtained with a flat sheet, rectangularly shaped suitably folded along the edges with a section orthogonal to a bigger and flat surface (1), followed by an inwardly folding perpendicular to the first one and shorter.
  • the four corners (1'') of the shelf (1) result bevelled, providing a short diagonal section which develops a surface (1") with dimensions similar enough to those of one side (11') of a collar (11).
  • Each side (1'') in the shelf (1) provides a recess (13), opened from the bottom towards the top, in whose inside for reciprocal coupling is fixed the slide (12) associated with the collar (11).
  • one she]f (1) is possible to associate a shelf (1a), orthogonal and coplanar to said first one (1).
  • an angular accessory (14) whose use is provided for replacing an upright (2).
  • the structure on the opposite side with respect to an upright (2a) and respective to-way connection collar, provides an angle (14) whose only purpose is that of fastening and keeping together on that side, integrally, the two adjoining shelves (1, 1a).
  • Said accessory (14) is characterized in having a body, in plan view seen essentially at 45°, to which is lowerly associated a movable clip (15), said clip consisting of a section in metal sheet (15'), provided on its end with an hook (15''), which, once applied, engages the lower edge (1') of the shelf (1).
  • a protruding wing (16) obtained on the same side of the hook (15") and that partially overlaps the surface of the shelf (1).
  • the angle (14) along the closed side (14') provides associated an analogue slide (12), suitable]e to being reciprocally engaged inside of a recess (13) obtained similarly on the concerned side of said shelf (1a).
