Definitions

  • the invention relates to a base for a rack which can be assembled in modular manner and freely placed on a base surface.
  • a rack is intended for placing along a wall or in a free space, for instance in a storage area, a DIY store or wholesaler, where it is used to form aisles such that warehouse employees or customers with a trolley can walk along the racks with goods displayed therein in order to collect goods.
  • a base for a rack which can be assembled in modular manner and placed freely on a base surface, comprising at least two feet which can support on this base surface and a support body which is coupled to these feet and which is provided with at least one coupling element for coupling to an upright of this rack, wherein the support body is assembled from two profiled plate parts which are mutually coupled in each case by co-acting, local plastic deformations and which are for the greater part mutually overlapping, and the feet are received between the plate parts.
  • the plate parts are manufactured from plate materials having the same thickness.
  • the base is provided with a mounting element for an accessory component arranged partially between the plate parts.
  • a skirting strip or a bumper edge can for instance be mounted on this mounting element.
  • the mounting element is for instance manufactured by bending a flat plate material.
  • the plate parts and the mounting element are preferably manufactured from plate materials which all have the same thickness.
  • At least one foot is provided by a nut clamped between the plate parts and an adjusting screw co-acting therewith. Using the adjusting screw it is possible to change the position of a base placed on a non-horizontal or irregular base surface.
  • At least one foot is preferably provided by a solid body, a part of which extends outside the plate parts to allow an upright coupled to the support body to support against that part, which solid body is provided with a bore hole with screw thread for receiving therein an adjusting screw which can support on the base surface.
  • This embodiment of a base according to the invention is particularly advantageous in absorbing and redistributing static forces exerted on this base by an upright coupled to this base. It has been found that a substantial part of the force exerted on the base by an upright is absorbed by the part of the foot extending outside the plate parts, as a result of which a relatively small force is exerted on the part of the base manufactured from plate parts, whereby damage to this base resulting from static forces acting thereon is prevented.
  • the at least one coupling element comprises a hook-like part slidable into this opening and fitting round the wall of this upright, which hook-like part is preferably formed by two symmetrical parts extending in parallel manner from each of the plate parts.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a base 10 according to the invention, the support body of which is assembled from two profiled plate parts 3, 4 which largely overlap each other and which are mutually coupled by co-acting local plastic deformations 8 according to the so-called Tox® technique.
  • a nut 2 Prior to coupling of plate parts 3, 4 a nut 2, a solid block 1, a support plate 12 and a mounting plate 9 are arranged therebetween.
  • the solid block 1 is provided with a bore hole 14 with screw thread for receiving therein a first screw (not shown) which can support on a base surface and which is preferably provided for this purpose with a wide head.
  • a second screw (not shown) which can support on a base surface is received in nut 2.
  • the solid block 1 is further provided with a T-shaped part 13 which extends outside the plate parts and which is for the greater part enclosed on its inner side by the U-shaped support plate 12.
  • a T-shaped part 13 which extends outside the plate parts and which is for the greater part enclosed on its inner side by the U-shaped support plate 12.
  • On the upper side of plate parts 3, 4 are formed symmetrical parts 5, 6 which extend outside plate parts 3, 4 and which form a hook 5, 6 after plate parts 3, 4 have been joined together.
  • Hook 5, 6 fits into one of the H-shaped openings 11 formed in one of the narrow flat sides of a hollow upright 7, wherein the position of openings 11 is chosen such that in a working arrangement there is always one opening 11 with an upper side which corresponds with the underside of the upward-directed opening of hooks 5, 6.
  • On the stated narrow side the upright 7 is provided at its bottom end with a downward directed recess 15.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a base 20 which is suitable for racks with deeper shelves than is possible with the base 10 shown in fig. 1, by applying longer plates 3, 4.
  • inventive concept extends to other embodiments than those shown here, for instance to a base for a rack with an upright which is provided with a flat side, wherein the at least one opening is provided in this flat side, wherein the support body is provided with support surfaces bent out of the plate parts for allowing this flat side of a said upright coupled to the support body to support thereagainst.
  • a base for a rack with an upright which is provided with a flat side
  • the support body is provided with support surfaces bent out of the plate parts for allowing this flat side of a said upright coupled to the support body to support thereagainst.
