Brackets (3) have hooks (3a) at their ends that engage in the holes. The holes have an upper part (1e1) and a narrower lower part (1e2). The curved hooks, at the top and bottom of the bracket, engage in the top part of the hole. Notches (3b), at the level of the hooks, cooperate with the lower part of the hole. The hooks are on two vertical surfaces (3c,3d) and these are joined by horizontal (3e) and inclined surfaces (3f).

Description

L'invention se rapporte au secteur technique des moyens de stockage et de présentation pour magasins, entrepôts, ateliers, bibliothèques......The invention relates to the technical sector of storage means and presentation for stores, warehouses, workshops, libraries ...

On connaít de nombreux moyens de stockage et de présentation réalisés à partir d'éléments profilés métalliques pour constituer des étagères et autres volumes de réception de marchandises.We know many means of storage and presentation made from metallic profiled elements to constitute shelves and the like goods receipt volumes.

Les éléments de ces étagères sont en général assemblés entre eux par boulonnages entre montants et traverses ou entre montants et lisses ou barreaux supportant des rayonnages.The elements of these shelves are generally assembled together by bolts between uprights and crosspieces or between uprights and rails or bars supporting shelving.

Depuis quelques années ont été développés des moyens d'assemblage rapide par encliquetage ou crochetage notamment comme ce frit le cas pour le demandeur qui a conçu des montants en cornières perforées sur lesquelles se crochètent les traverses et autres éléments complémentaires.In recent years, means of assembly have been developed fast by snap-fastening or picking especially as this fried the case for Applicant who designed uprights in perforated angles on which hook the crosspieces and other complementary elements.

Si ces moyens d'assemblage donnent satisfaction dans l'ensemble, il est cependant apparu nécessaire d'améliorer ces structures et leurs assemblages tant au plan qualitatif qu'au plan esthétique, en tenant compte des besoins nouveaux des utilisateurs, notamment au niveau du positionnement variable des rayonnages, des moyens d'information par étiquetage ou autres et de la stabilité.If these assembly means are satisfactory on the whole, it is however, it appeared necessary to improve these structures and their assemblies both qualitatively and aesthetically, taking into account needs new users, especially in terms of variable positioning shelving, information media by labeling or other and stability.

C'est pourquoi, le demandeur a conçu la structure selon l'invention dont les éléments qui la compose permettent de réaliser une étagère solide, fiable et simplifiée dans sa conception et son montage, tout en apportant une esthétique originale et en offrant de multiples possibilités d'adaptation notamment au niveau du positionnement des rayonnages.This is why, the applicant has designed the structure according to the invention, the elements that compose it make it possible to create a solid, reliable and simplified in its design and assembly, while providing an aesthetic original and by offering multiple possibilities of adaptation in particular to shelf positioning level.

Un autre but recherché selon l'invention était de réaliser une structure de stockage ne nécessitant aucun moyen de boulonnage et de vissage des différents composants, tout en offrant avec un montage rapide une solidité de la structure. Ainsi l'objet de celle-ci était d'optimiser les différents composants pour répondre au besoin précité.Another object sought after according to the invention was to provide a structure for storage requiring no means of bolting and screwing different components, while offering fast assembly structure. So the purpose of it was to optimize the different components to meet the above need.

D'autre part, les jeux mécaniques nécessaires à un montage aisé de ce type d'éléments sont supprimés car ils sont absorbés des effets de coincement et de pincement par adoption de forme appropriée sur les appuis.On the other hand, the mechanical clearances necessary for easy assembly of this type of elements are removed as they are absorbed from the jamming effects and pinching by adopting an appropriate shape on the supports.

A cet effet, et selon une première caractéristique, la structure de stockage est réalisée en éléments profilés et moyens d'assemblage desdits éléments entre eux, du type comprenant des montants de sections en U avec un fond et deux côtés latéraux est remarquable

  • en ce que .le long de la génératrice des deux angles de raccordement entre le fond et les côtés latéraux du profil en U sont formées des ouvertures profilées régulièrement espacées dans la hauteur, dans lesquelles sont introduites et verrouillées des lisses aménagées à cet effet à leurs extrémités,
  • et en ce que les ouvertures profilées établies au niveau des angles arrondis des montants sont formées de deux étages, à savoir: un étage supérieur et un étage inférieur; l'étage supérieur étant plus large que l'étage inférieur,
  • et en ce que les extrémités des lisses sont aménagées en vue de leur introduction dans les ouvertures des montants , avec des saillies profilées en forme de crochets recourbés établies en partie haute et basse desdites extrémités et coopérant avec l'étage supérieur des ouvertures profilées desdits montants,
  • et en ce que les extrémités des lisses sont aménagées, en vue de leur verrouillage dans les ouvertures profilées des montants , avec des entailles profilées établies à la partie inférieure et/ou à la partie supérieure des faces verticales au niveau des crochets, et coopérant, après introduction desdits crochets dans lesdites ouvertures et abaissement des lisses, avec l'étage inférieur, desdites ouvertures,
  • et en ce que les lisses sont constituées par deux faces verticales portant les crochets recourbés et les entailles qui sont reliées par un profil en √ composé de deux zones dont les faces en bout prennent appui au montage, sur les côtés latéraux des montants,
  • et en ce que le profil en √ de nervurage des lisses présente une zone supérieure de préférence perpendiculaire aux faces verticales pour recevoir, en combinaison avec la lisse opposée, un rayonnage positionné à l'horizontal.
    • To this end, and according to a first characteristic, the storage structure is made of profiled elements and means of assembling said elements together, of the type comprising uprights of U-shaped sections with a bottom and two lateral sides is remarkable.
  • in that. along the generatrix of the two connection angles between the bottom and the lateral sides of the U-profile are formed profiled openings regularly spaced in height, into which are inserted and locked beams arranged for their purpose ends,
  • and in that the profiled openings established at the rounded corners of the uprights are formed of two stages, namely: an upper stage and a lower stage; the upper floor being wider than the lower floor,
  • and in that the ends of the heddles are arranged for their introduction into the openings of the uprights, with profiled projections in the form of curved hooks established at the top and bottom of said ends and cooperating with the upper stage of the profiled openings of said uprights ,
  • and in that the ends of the rails are arranged, for their locking in the profiled openings of the uprights, with profiled notches established at the lower part and / or at the upper part of the vertical faces at the level of the hooks, and cooperating, after inserting said hooks into said openings and lowering the heddles, with the lower stage, of said openings,
  • and in that the heddles consist of two vertical faces carrying the curved hooks and the notches which are connected by a profile made of √ composed of two zones whose end faces are supported by the mounting, on the lateral sides of the uprights,
  • and in that the ribbing profile √ of the heddles has an upper zone preferably perpendicular to the vertical faces to receive, in combination with the opposite heald, a shelf positioned horizontally.

    • Selon une autre caractéristique, les ouvertures profilées des montants reçoivent des goussets de renfort étroitement associés aux lisses et présentant à cet effet des saillies en forme de crochets établies suivant deux extrémités tandis qu'un organe de verrouillage formé à l'extrémité opposée coopère avec une découpe réalisée dans le profil de la lisse.According to another characteristic, the profiled openings of the uprights receive reinforcement gussets closely associated with the beams and presenting to this effect hook-shaped projections established at two ends while a locking member formed at the opposite end cooperates with a cut made in the profile of the rail.

    Une autre caractéristique se trouve dans le fait que le fond des montants présente de manière régulière ou non des « crevés » coopérant avec des saillies en forme de languettes réalisées aux extrémités de traverses profilées reliant les montants entre eux deux à deux et prenant appui contre les faces intérieures des montants.Another feature is that the bottom of the uprights has regular or not "punctures" cooperating with projections in the form of tongues produced at the ends of profiled crosspieces connecting the amounts between them two by two and bearing against the inner faces of amounts.

    Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the description.

    • Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant sous une forme non limitative de réalisation illustrée aux figures des dessins et appliquée à la réalisation d'une étagère de stockage.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is described now in a nonlimiting embodiment illustrated in the figures drawings and applied to the realization of a storage shelf.

    Les éléments composant une telle étagère sont les suivants : 4 montants (1) de section en forme de U et associés à leur base à un piétement approprié ; des traverses (2) reliant les montants deux à deux par l'intérieur desdits montants; des lisses (3) support de rayonnage (R), reliant également les montants deux à deux par un côté latéral, des goussets (4) pouvant être également assujettis aux lisses et aux montants pour renforcer l'assemblage dans le cas d'étagères de grandes dimensions.The elements making up such a shelf are as follows: 4 uprights (1) of U-shaped section and associated at their base with an appropriate base; sleepers (2) connecting the uprights two by two from the inside of said amounts; beams (3) shelving support (R), also connecting the uprights two by two on one side, gussets (4) can be also subject to rails and uprights to reinforce the assembly in the case of large shelves.

    Bien entendu, le nombre de couples de lisses, de traverses, et de goussets est fonction des dimensions de l'étagère.Of course, the number of pairs of beams, crosspieces, and gussets depends on the dimensions of the shelf.

    Chaque montant (1) est constitué de manière connue en section d'une face de fond (1a), de deux côtés latéraux (1b) et de deux retours (1c) parallèles au fond. Selon l'invention, le long des angles arrondis (1d) reliant le fond et un côté latéral sont formées, de manière régulièrement espacée dans la hauteur, des ouvertures profilées (1e) destinées à recevoir et à verrouiller les lisses (3). A cet effet, lesdites ouvertures présentent deux étages, à savoir un étage supérieur (1e1) plus large que l'étage inférieure (1e2), de telle sorte que des saillies (3a) en forme de crochets recourbés, établies aux extrémités de la lisse, en partie haute et en partie basse, puissent pénétrer facilement dans l'étage supérieur (1e1) des ouvertures, puis être verrouillées par abaissement de la lisse et coincement d'entailles profilées (3b), formées à la partie inférieure des crochets (3a), dans l'étage inférieur (1e2) cunéiforme des ouvertures des montants (figures 2 et 6) permettant d'absorber en butée inférieure les jeux mécaniques de montage par pincement.Each amount (1) is constituted in a known manner by section of a bottom face (1a), two lateral sides (1b) and two parallel returns (1c) basically. According to the invention, along the rounded angles (1d) connecting the bottom and a lateral side are formed, evenly spaced in height, profiled openings (1e) intended to receive and lock the beams (3). To this end, said openings have two stages, namely a stage upper (1e1) wider than the lower stage (1e2), so that projections (3a) in the form of curved hooks, established at the ends of the rail, in the upper part and in the lower part, can easily penetrate the floor upper (1e1) of the openings, then be locked by lowering the boom and wedging of profiled notches (3b), formed at the bottom of the hooks (3a), in the lower stage (1e2) cuneiform of the openings of the uprights (Figures 2 and 6) to absorb the play in the bottom stop mechanical assembly by pinching.

    Les lisses profilées (3) ainsi assujetties à un côté latéral d'un montant, sont constituées en section de deux parties haute et basse (3c-3d) verticales et aux extrémités desquelles sont exécutés les crochets (3a) et les entailles (3b); la partie basse (3d) étant de plus recourbée vers l'intérieur en (3d1). Entre les deux parties est formé un profil en √ de nervurage comprenant une zone supérieure (3e) perpendiculaire à la partie haute (3c) et une zone inférieure (3f) inclinée par rapport à la partie (3d). La zone (3e) de la lisse constitue ainsi, en combinaison avec la même zone de la lisse opposée, un plan d'appui à l'horizontal pour un rayonnage (FIGURE 9).The profiled rails (3) thus secured to a lateral side of an upright, are made up of two vertical upper and lower parts (3c-3d) and at the ends of which the hooks (3a) and the notches (3b) are executed; the lower part (3d) being further curved inward at (3d1). Between the two parts is formed a √ ribbing profile comprising an area upper (3e) perpendicular to the upper part (3c) and a lower zone (3f) inclined to the part (3d). The area (3e) of the boom thus constitutes, in combination with the same area of the opposite beam, a support plane the horizontal for shelving (FIGURE 9).

    On peut également inverser le montage des lisses avant ou arrière pour que la zone inférieure inclinée (3f) devienne la zone supérieure, l'autre lisse étant montée normalement afin de positionner les rayonnages de manière inclinée (figure 10). Dans ce cas, on prévoit une autre entaille de verrouillage (3b) à l'opposé de l'autre.You can also reverse the assembly of the front or rear rails for the inclined lower zone (3f) becomes the upper zone, the other smooth being mounted normally in order to position the shelves so tilted (Figure 10). In this case, another locking notch is provided. (3b) opposite the other.

    Bien entendu, il est possible de prévoir des zones (3e-3f) formant chacune un angle différent de 90° avec les parties (3c-3d) afin de constituer des plans d'appuis inclinés et donc de pouvoir positionner les rayonnages de manière inclinée.Of course, it is possible to provide zones (3e-3f) forming each a different angle of 90 ° with the parts (3c-3d) in order to constitute inclined support planes and therefore to be able to position the shelves of tilted way.

    A noter également de manière importante, que les lisses prenant appui par leur chant (3h) sur tout le côté latéral des montants, et assurant un emboítement en profondeur dans l'épaisseur du montant, on améliore l'équerrage ou la bonne géométrie de l'étagère ainsi que l'esthétique du fait de l'aspect nouveau des montants et de la position en retrait des faces verticales (3c-3d) des lisses par rapport auxdits montants ce qui permet d'utiliser la totalité de la face avant des montants pour un étiquetage.Also note in an important way, that the beams taking support by their song (3h) on the whole lateral side of the uprights, and ensuring a nesting deep into the thickness of the upright, it improves the squareness or the correct geometry of the shelf as well as the aesthetics due to the new aspect of the uprights and the recessed position of the vertical faces (3c-3d) beams with respect to said amounts which allows the use of the the entire front of the uprights for labeling.

    L'optimisation des appuis lisses-montants est assurée par l'action des pattes d'accrochage des lisses à l'intérieur des montants et la réaction des éléments des éléments des lisses sur l'extérieur des montants, réaction des éléments (3f) et (3d1). Il y a action et réaction des éléments de la lisse sur le montant vertical. La lisse en position verrouillée ne vient pas en affleurement sur le montant vertical, mais participe à la stabilité par sa position en retrait par rapport aux nus des montants.The optimization of the smooth-upright supports is ensured by the action of rails for hanging the rails on the inside of the uprights and the reaction of elements of the heald elements on the outside of the uprights, reaction of elements (3f) and (3d1). There is action and reaction of the elements of the beam on the vertical upright. The arm in the locked position does not come flush on the vertical upright, but contributes to stability by its recessed position by compared to the nudes of the amounts.

    Les traverses (2), reliant les montants deux à deux (figure 3) sont établies par exemple sous la forme d'une plaque de fond (2a) avec en bordure deux repliages longitudinaux courts (2b) et deux repliages transversaux plus longs (2c) qui présentent en au moins deux zones espacées, des découpes formant languettes (2d) destinées à coopérer par coincement dans des « crevés » de matière (1f) de profil légèrement tronconique, exécutés dans le fond (1a) des montants de manière régulière ou non dans la hauteur. En complément de ces organes de liaison, les traverses et les montants peuvent présenter entre deux languettes (2d) et deux crevés (1f), des orifices (2e) et (1g) pour le passage de boulons (non représentés).The crosspieces (2), connecting the uprights two by two (Figure 3) are established for example in the form of a bottom plate (2a) with a border two short longitudinal folds (2b) and two more transverse folds long (2c) which have at least two spaced zones, cutouts forming tongues (2d) intended to cooperate by wedging in "Punctured" of material (1f) of slightly frustoconical profile, executed in the bottom (1a) of the amounts in a regular manner or not in the height. In complement of these connecting members, the crosspieces and the uprights can present between two tabs (2d) and two punctures (1f), orifices (2e) and (1g) for the passage of bolts (not shown).

    Pour renforcer l'assemblage de ces éléments et plus particulièrement dans le cas d'étagères de grandes dimensions, il est prévu, comme on l'a vu plus haut, des goussets (4) de contreventement reliés à la fois aux montants (1) et aux lisses (3).To strengthen the assembly of these elements and more particularly in the case of large shelves, it is provided, as we have seen higher, bracing gussets (4) connected at the same time to the uprights (1) and the heddles (3).

    Comme on le voit aux figures 4, 7, et 8, ces goussets se présentent sous une forme générale triangulaire avec en haut et en bas deux surfaces verticales triangulaires (4a-4b) dont les deux chants verticaux (4c-4d) présentent des saillies (4e - 4f) en forme de crochets qui sont destinées à coopérer avec les étages supérieurs des ouvertures profilées (1e) des montants. Les deux faces (4a-4b) sont reliées entre elles par deux faces (4g-4h) formant un √ de manière à épouser étroitement le profil en √ des lisses (figure 8). Un troisième point, opposé aux crochets (4e-4f), est réalisé à la jonction des faces (4g-4h) sous forme d'un bec (4i) qui, après montage du gousset sur le montant, est introduit en force dans une découpe (3g) des lisses également réalisée au niveau de la jonction entre ses faces (3e-3f) de manière à verrouiller le gousset par rapport à la lisse.As seen in Figures 4, 7, and 8, these gussets are presented under a general triangular shape with two vertical surfaces at the top and bottom triangular (4a-4b) whose two vertical edges (4c-4d) have projections (4e - 4f) in the form of hooks which are intended to cooperate with the upper stages of the profiled openings (1e) of the uprights. Both sides (4a-4b) are interconnected by two faces (4g-4h) forming a √ so to closely fit the √ profile of the beams (Figure 8). A third point, opposite the hooks (4e-4f), is made at the junction of the faces (4g-4h) under shape of a spout (4i) which, after mounting the gusset on the upright, is introduced in force in a cutout (3g) of the beams also made at the junction between its faces (3e-3f) so as to lock the gusset relative to the smooth.

    Avec ce renforcement important de la structure par les goussets (4), les tringles croisées habituellement fixées à l'arrière des étagères pour assurer la stabilité de la structure, deviennent inutiles. Cela peut permettre par exemple de stocker des produits débordants à l'arrière et participe également à l'amélioration de l'esthétique de l'ensemble, et à la simplification de montage.With this significant reinforcement of the structure by the gussets (4), the crossed rods usually attached to the back of the shelves to ensure stability of the structure, become useless. This can allow for example store overflowing products at the back and also participate in improving the aesthetics of the whole, and simplifying assembly.

    A noter que lorsque les traverses (2) sont fixées sur les montants (1) par leurs organes respectifs de liaison (2d-1f), le fond (2a) des traverses prend appui contre les chants des retours (1c) des montants, ce qui, en combinaison avec les appuis des faces en bout des lisses contre les montants, contribue à améliorer la géométrique et la tenue de la structure.Note that when the crosspieces (2) are fixed to the uprights (1) by their respective connecting members (2d-1f), the bottom (2a) of the sleepers support against the edges of the returns (1c) of the uprights, which, in combination with the supports of the faces at the end of the beams against the uprights, contributes to improve the geometry and behavior of the structure.
