Definitions

  • This invention refers to the improvements incorporated in wine barrel racks, which are used in large wine cellars to be precise. These improvements permit the accumulation of barrels, stably supported in horizontal position without them to withstand the weight of those arranged above them; as the load of each and every one of the barrels is transferred directly towards the floor via the structure defined by the racks. In other words, the barrels are only required to support their individual load.
  • the invention improvements are designed to facilitate the mobility of each of the barrels within the within the corresponding rack.
  • the subsequent barrel levels are obtained by resting the barrels in between each other so they finish arranged in quincunxes, always equipped with wedges, and piled up as high as necessary, limited logically by the height of the cellar.
  • the petitioner himself is the owner of the Spanish utility model U 9801070, describing a wine barrel rack.
  • This consists of a rectangular shaped metal structure, constituting the rack base, equipped with the corresponding apices of vertically orientated tubular sections destined for immobile coupling of vertical posts or columns acting as separators in the piling up between the racks, whose length must obviously be greater than the maximum diameter of the barrels, including the mentioned base with leg supports on the rack posts immediately below, plus a metal structure constituting the base of each rack in relation to the crossbeams, with cross-sections or rods appropriately shaped to form cavities for perfect stabilisation of the barrels.
  • each rack accommodates two laterally adjacent, perfectly stabilised barrels on the mentioned cross-sections or rods attached to the base structure.
  • On top of this pair of barrels others can be arranged, resting only the legs of each one on top of the posts immediately below, with the metal structures sufficiently separated so the barrels are physically independent of each other.
  • the invention improvements consist of replacing the cross-sections or rods for the seating and stabilisation of the barrels for pairs of wheels assembled with free rotation on short arms, in such a way the said wheels become barrel supports, allow free rotation of the same on their own axis with minimum effort as previously mentioned.
  • the said arms will adopt oblique arrangements, preferably radials in relation to the barrel, for the purpose of an optimum transmission of efforts towards the rack structure.
  • the said wheels be sufficiently resistant to withstand the barrel load, but at the same time of a material sufficiently soft, so as not to mark or damage the barrel surface, both in the stable position of the same, as when it is subjected to a rotary movement.
  • the posts acting as separators between the racks can be folded onto the base structure, instead of being dismountable, for the purpose of facilitating and simplifying the rack folding operations during its storage and transport when empty, as well as facilitating its unfolding, i.e., converting it to the operative position.
  • the rack according to the invention improvements is structured on a base platform (1) preferably metal, set on crossbeams and head beams conferring it structural rigidity, to withstand the loads to which it is to be subjected, defining a rectangular shape with appropriate dimensions for a pair of barrels (2).
  • Its apices are attached to corresponding vertical posts (3).
  • its upper end surpasses the highest barrel level (2), in such a way that the posts act as separators in the piling up between racks, transmitting the efforts directly between them, through the said posts (3), without the barrels (2) being affected by the load placed on top of them.
  • the said posts (3) could be hollow free ends with its bottom end having a wedge (4) that can be plugged into the said hollow ends, to stabilise the assembly in the light of possible forces tending to create transverse displacements between the racks.
  • the arms (6) will preferably have a tilted arrangement, clearly radial in relation to the barrel (2) they have to support, for the purpose of improving the transmission of efforts towards the base structure (1) due to the barrel's own weight including its contents.
  • the axes (8) of the wheels (7) must also adopt an oblique position, in such a way they finish parallel to the barrel's imaginary tangent at its point of contact on the wheel with the same.
  • the wheels (7) have to be of sufficiently resistant material to withstand the efforts to which they are to be subjected, yet at the same time sufficiently soft so as not to mark the external surface of the barrel, both when resting stably on the wheels and when subjected to a rotary movement on their own axis.
  • the posts (3) are attached to the base structure (1) via articulated joints (9) enabling their tilting between two limit positions.
  • a tilting on its own base structure (1) corresponding to the storage, transport situation i.e. when the rack is inoperative; and the other, that represented in figure 1, where it adopts a vertical arrangement, which under no circumstance may be surpassed in an outward direction.
  • the tilting axis (9) for the posts (3) may be clearly situated above the lower end of the same, in such a way that the said lower end rests against the corresponding end of the base structure (1), acting as a tilt buffer limit going outwards, for the said posts.
  • any other limit system may be used provided it establishes the said limits.

Claims (5)

  1. Des améliorations au niveau des supports de barrique, en particulier au niveau des supports posés sur une structure de base en forme rectangulaire, en métal de préférence, conférant l'emplacement à deux barriques adjacentes latéralement, des poteaux s'élèvent aux sommets de la structure de base pour agir comme séparateurs dans l'amoncellement entre les supports, la caractéristique étant que ces emplacements pour chaque barrique (2) sont formés de quatre roues (7) montées par pivotement libre au bout des bras (6) respectifs, bien fixées sur la structure de base (1), de telle sorte que les roues (7) stabilisent non seulement les barriques (2) mais permettent également leur pivotement sur leurs propres axes grâce à un effort minimum.
  2. Des améliorations au niveau des supports de barrique selon la 1ère revendication, définies par le fait que les bras (6) mentionnés ci-dessus adoptent une position oblique, de préférence radiale, par rapport à la barrique correspondante (2), et ce pour un transfert optimal des efforts vers la structure de base (1).
  3. Des améliorations au niveau des supports de barrique selon la première revendication, définies par le fait que les axes (8) des roues (7) sont disposés parallèlement à la tangente imaginaire de la barrique en leur point de contact avec la roue.
  4. Des améliorations au niveau des supports de barrique selon la première revendication, définies par le fait que les roues (7) sont fabriquées en un matériau qui, d'une part, résiste à la charge de la barrique avec son contenu et, d'autre part, ne produit pas de marques sur la barrique (2) et ce, que la barrique se trouve dans une situation stable ou qu'elle soit soumise à un pivotement sur son propre axe.
  5. Des améliorations au niveau des supports de barrique selon la première revendication, définies par le fait que les poteaux (3) rejoignent la structure de base (1) grâce à des axes inclinables (9) permettant aux poteaux d'être rabattus sur la structure de base, dans la position à l'arrêt du support, sachant que l'inclinaison est limitée par le biais de butoirs pertinents, perpendiculaires aux poteaux (3).
