Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a support structure for barrels, specially devised for application in large wine cellars, to enable the stacking of same, resting in a stable horizontal position, without said barrels having to withstand the weight of those stacked above them, since the support structure has a modular configuration, and is essentially designed to support two barrels arranged collaterally, such that only the support structures, coupled together when stacked, take the weight above them, while the barrels only support their own load.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a maximum structural simplification of said support structure, with the attendant cost savings, without impairing its functional performance; it allows the handling of the supports with a forklift truck or similar equipment to stack and unstack the support structures; it provides for perfect stabilisation of the barrels and a quincunx arrangement, once the support modules have been coupled together after assembly inside the cellar, thus providing optimum access to any of the barrels.
  • the next row has the barrels resting between the barrels in the lower row, in a quincunx arrangement, using wooden chocks to keep them in position.
  • the barrels are thus stacked up to as many rows as required, with the obvious limit of the height of the cellar.
  • Figure 3. Shows a perspective view of the support featured in the previous figures, in this case supporting two barrels.
  • the barrel support described by the present invention comprises four saddle pieces (1), with an essentially prismatic-rectangular shape, featuring a wide upper opening (2), of suitable dimensions to enable it to easily accommodate the prongs of a forklift truck in order to handle the whole support assembly, with or without load; on each saddle piece (1), below the aforesaid opening (2), there is a receptacle (3), with an opening on its underside and tapering upwards, defined, for example, by a number of inner walls (4) forming the lateral surfaces of a quadrangular pyramid.
  • the specific purpose of said pyramid-shaped receptacles (3) in the saddle pieces is to ensure the correct centering of the supports when these are stacked on top of one another, thus ensuring that they are suitably stabilised in a transverse direction.
  • Each saddle piece (1) is joined, on its upper base (5) to a framework consisting of two lower tubes (6) diverging upwards, which make up the first section, having an invented isosceles trapezium shape, of suitable dimensions to accommodate the corresponding end of the barrel (7), such that said barrel rests tangentially on the middle part of the aforesaid tubes (6), which may be reinforced in their lower part by means of a crosspiece (8), and whose upper ends (9) have a spacing slightly greater than the maximum diameter of the barrels (7) for which the support has been designed; onto the upper end (9) of the diverging tubes (6) are fitted other tubes (10) which rise vertically, parallel to each other, having at their free end a rounded appendix (11), such that these vertical tubes (10) act as spacers in the barrel stacking arrangement.
  • these tubes must be of a suitable length so that, together with the height of the saddle pieces (1) the supports, and hence the barrels, are stacked with a suitable vertical spacing between them.
  • Each saddle piece (1), with its framework (6-10) is fitted in a coplanar fashion to another identical assembly, since the support is designed to accommodate two barrels (7), and these two frameworks with their saddle pieces, located, for example, at the front of the support, is joined to another pair of frameworks at the rear, by means of a number of crosspieces (12) suitably fitted onto the angle points (9) of said frameworks, the length of the crosspieces being approximately the same as that of the longitudinal axis of the barrels (7), such that the barrel ends may rest on the respective frameworks (6).
  • Such a design provides a support structure with four saddle pieces (1), which may be resting directly on the floor, providing perfect stability to the support structure and its load, and further enabling the easy stacking of said supports, by coupling the free upper end of the vertical tubes (10) with the saddle pieces (1) of the supports on top of them, which saddles have openings of great size and provide for perfect self-centering, thanks to the receptacles (3) in the saddle pieces having the shape of a truncated pyramid or another similar shape, as well as perfect transverse stability, since the supports fit in an transversally overlapping arrangement, which leads to the same overlap between adjacent rows of barrels (7) such that there is optimum access to the upper part of each barrel, not only because of its being laterally offset relative to the barrels immediately above, it, but also because the actual support does not hinder access to said upper part of the barrel, which is left essentially clear, thanks to the shape of the support structure and more specifically the wide triangular space (13) between each pair of frameworks (6) of the support.

Claims (2)

  1. Une structure de support pour les barriques de vin, conçue en particulier pour être utilisée dans les grandes caves afin de soutenir les barriques de vin qui vieillit, dotée d'une structure où une seule structure de support reçoit deux barriques, cette structure est caractérisée par ses quatre semelles (1) qui reposent sur le sol ou sur d'autres supports, sur chacune de ces semelles une armature est assemblée, celle-ci comportant deux tubes inférieurs (6) divergeant nettement vers le haut, et deux tubes verticaux supérieurs ou d'extrémité (10) perpendiculaires au plan sur lequel reposent les semelles (1) ; chaque paire de ces armatures (6-10) forme un ensemble coplanaire, avec les armatures reliées ensemble par le biais de tubes verticaux adjacents (10), et l'autre paire d'armatures se trouve sur un plan parallèle à la précédente, reliée à l'autre paire par un certain nombre de traverses (12) de longueur bien plus courte que les axes longitudinaux des barriques ; l'inclinaison des tubes divergents (6) des différentes armatures est telle que les barriques (7) reposent au milieu de ces armatures, leur longueur étant telle que la distance entre les tubes supérieurs (10) s'avère suffisamment importante pour permettre aux barriques (7) d'être introduites entre eux et de reposer sur les éléments de support pertinents, les différents supports peuvent être empilés les uns sur les autres en raccordant l'extrémité supérieure libre des tubes verticaux (10) à l'aide des semelles (1) des supports du dessus.
  2. La structure de support pour les barriques de vin, selon la première revendication, est caractérisée par le fait que chaque semelle (1) est essentiellement prismatique et rectangulaire dans sa forme ; elle présente en haut une grande ouverture (2) par laquelle les fourches d'un chariot élévateur ou engin similaire peuvent être introduites, et en bas un récipient (3), ouvert dans le fond et effilé vers le haut, de préférence en forme pyramidale ; le récipient (3) est destiné à recevoir l'extrémité libre des tubes verticaux (10) lorsque les différents supports sont empilés les uns sur les autres ; aussi, les tubes verticaux (10) sont équipés, aux extrémités libres, de protubérances rondes (11) qui s'adaptent au fond des récipients (3).
