Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of a shelf and a rack system, the shelf comprising a storage surface and at least one corner forming assembly element directed downwards, the assembly element being an integral part of the shelf and the assembly element being formed by two lips, bent over and overlapping each other at least partly.
  • the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a shelf of such an arrangement.
  • a device for fitting a panel in a panel support in a substantially horizontal position.
  • the panel support comprises fitting surfaces situated substantially at right angles opposite one another, each fitting surface being provided with a receiving element open towards the top.
  • the panel itself is provided with a corner flange directed downwards, comprising first and second tongue parts being provided directly in the flange in order to fit downwards into the first and second receiving elements of the panel support during assembling the device. Because the tongue parts fit into the receiving parts, there is both a clamping side to side and a clamping front to back of the tongue parts in order to obtain an extremely tight fit of the tongue parts in their respective receiving parts.
  • a coupling device for lightly loaded shelves, provided with raised edges to which the shelves directly connected.
  • the device has a male component directly made or attached to the shelf or a raised edge and which is formed by a support, at least one part being attached to the element from which it extends and carried out in an inclined manner.
  • the support has a transverse dimension, narrowing in the direction for being inserted into a corresponding and complementarily formed female component, moulded directly onto the complementary component of the shelves or onto an element attached to it.
  • a detached shelf system comprising four supporting elements, supporting a number of rectangular shelves.
  • a corner part is attached to each corner of each shelf which is provided with pins fitting into corresponding keyhole-shaped openings, provided in the supporting elements, thus enabling the shelf to be fixed into the supporting element.
  • a shelf is described, where the shelf is provided with a flange consisting of a first part directed downwards, a second part lying against the inner side of the first part and furthermore is situated closely against an edge part of the bottom of the shelf.
  • holes may be provided in order to attach the supporting means of the rack system.
  • a shelf for a rack system comprising a flat supporting surface, and on each side, each time a hollow stiffening profile of a substantially rectangular section, extending downwards.
  • the horizontal wall of this stiffening profile changes into the supporting surface, and on the transverse side a cross-stiffening, directed downwards is applied at an angle of 90° opposite the supporting surface.
  • the lower side of the stiffening profile and the cross stiffening are provided with a recess.
  • the outer vertical longitudinal side of the stiffening profile is bent over inwards through an angle of 90°, against an outer lip, attached adjacent to the cross stiffening.
  • the inner vertical sidewall of the stiffening profile is bent over through an angle of 90° over an inner lip, which is attached adjacent to the outer lip.
  • This system also has the drawback that the assembly elements for installing the shelf in the supporting means of the rack system is carried out in a complicated manner and a large amount of material is required to mould such assembly elements.
  • a shelf of sheet metal which may be manufactured without any welding.
  • the shelf is made of one piece.
  • first lips are provided at each corner, which extend laterally from each side of the sidewall. These lips are of the same width as the side or end walls and are bent inwards in order to extend substantially at right angles to the sidewalls and to lie against the end walls. These first lips are situated on the inner side of the end walls.
  • co-operating assembly elements are provided at each corner of the shelf in order to mechanically fix the shelf to the support of the shelves.
  • the purpose of the invention is, on the one hand, to provide for an arrangement of a shelf and a rack system not having the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • this purpose is obtained by providing an arrangement of a shelf and a rack system, the shelf comprising a storage surface and at least one corner forming assembly element directed downwards, the assembly element constituting an integral part of the shelf, and the assembly element being constituted by two lips bent over and overlapping one another at least partly, but the said bent lips being inserted into a corresponding assembly element being provided in a support of the rack system.
  • the storage surface has been provided with at least one edge folded double and directed downwards.
  • At least one free edge of the shelf has been folded over, in such a manner that a supporting edge is formed, the folded part being in contact with the bottom surface of the storage surface of the shelf.
  • the shelf is folded from one pre-cut steel plate.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a shelf of an arrangement of a shelf and a rack system in which a shelf is provided not showing the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • This purpose is obtained by providing a method for manufacturing a shelf for an arrangement of a shelf and a rack system as described above, the sheet being folded to form a shelf by means of rolling.
  • a shelf (1) for a rack system consists of one sheet (2), which has been pre-cut, as partly represented in the figures 3 and 6 .
  • the sheet (2) cut out is folded, after which a shelf is obtained having a rectangular form, comprising a storage surface (3) and four corner forming assembly elements (4) directed downwards, as represented in the figures 1, 2 , 4 and 5 .
  • Each corner forming assembly element (4) may be inserted into a corresponding assembly element, which has been provided in a support (not represented) of the rack system.
  • Each corner forming assembly (4) is composed of two lips forming an integral part of the shelf.
  • each corner forming assembly element (4) is composed of two lips, namely a first lip (5) and a second lip (6), the second lip consisting of two parts (6a,6b).
  • the second part (6b) of the second lip (6) should be folded over around the first lip (5) and will overlap this first lip (5) entirely or partly, because of which a sturdy assembly element (4) is obtained in order to be able to install the shelf (1) in the support of the rack system.
  • the free edges (7) of the shelf (1) are folded over such that a supporting edge will be formed the folded part (as represented in figure 1 ) being in contact with the bottom surface or the storage surface (3) of the shelf (1).
  • each corner forming assembly element (4) is composed of two lips, namely a first lip (10), provided extending from a first part (12a) of the edge (12) folded double and directed downwards, and a second lip (11) forming an integral part of the second part (12b) of the edge (12) folded double and directed downwards.
  • a groove (13) is provided in order to be able to install each corner forming assembly element (4) in the support of the rack system.
  • the free edges (14) provided on the edge (12) of the shelf (1) folded double and directed downwards are folded in such a manner that a supporting edge is formed, the part folded over (as represented in figure 4 ) being in contact with the bottom surface of the storage surface (3) of the shelf (1).
  • one sheet (2) is cut out, the parts to be folded over and in being already provided, as may be seen in the figures 3 and 6 .
  • this sheet (2) is folded, at least partly, according to the two corner forming folding lines (20, 21) in order to obtain a shelf (1) with a corner forming assembly element (4) and directed downwards.
  • two lips (5 and 6, 10 and 11) are provided in each corner of the sheet (2), a corner forming assembly element (4) being formed by folding, which may be applied to a corresponding assembly element in a support of the rack system (not represented in the figure).
  • stiffenings of the edge of the shelf (1) are provided:
  • the sheet In order to fold the sheet (2) into the final shelf (1) the sheet may be folded automatically, but preferably it is rolled by means of rollers. Folding by means of rollers may occur at higher speeds.
  • the lips (5,6 and 10,11) overlapping one another partly or entirely are sometimes welded together or clinched together (pushed into one another) for greater sturdiness.
