Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for storing various objects suspended from a door, a wall or similar comprising a carrier element having a number of slots or through holes, the carrier element is adapted to be mounted, vertically orientated, on said door, wall or similar, and at least a basket, a set of hooks, a shoe rack or the like having a fastening device for detachable suspension from said carrier element, the central portion of the fastening device being essentially U-shaped and comprises a base portion and a pair of leg portions extending from the base portion and formed in one piece with the base portion, the fastening device being adapted to surroundingly engage the outer periphery of the carrier element and the base portion of the fastening device has at least one hook element for releasable engagement with a slot or a through hole in the carrier element.
  • the fastening device according to the invention for detachable suspension of baskets etc. is not limited to carrier elements or rails that are fixed to a door and the like, but a carrier element screwed to a wall or a hang standard hooked to a carrier rail is equally usable for raid suspension.
  • a system for storing various objects suspended from a door is known from US Design Serial No. 464,558 .
  • the system comprises a support rail in the form of a backbone which is intended to be screwed to a door or wall.
  • the support rail comprises a central U-shaped portion whose bottom is intended to abut against a door or the like.
  • a respective flange-formed portion with a number of tongues grouped in pairs projects laterally from the U-shaped portion and parallel with, but at a distance from, the door, to which tongues baskets, racks, shelves etc. can be attached.
  • the baskets etc. have a strong suspension plate which is provided with slots and recesses and adapted to be pushed over the respective pairs of tongues to allow a basket to be suspended from the rail.
  • the suspension plate is attached to the outside of the basket and has a central, U-shaped portion which projects from the basket and whose design corresponds to the U-shaped portion of the support rail and which, when mounting the basket on the support rail, is inserted into the U-shaped portion of the support rail.
  • the support rail is specially designed for this purpose only.
  • SE 502854 is directed to a device for video tapes, CD records, tapes etc.
  • the device consists of an elongated, broad and solid body having bores arranged in pairs for supporting a group of U-shaped loops serving as storing shelves for said tapes etc. The mutual distances of the loops are determined by the positions of the bores.
  • In the side opposite to the bores is a continuous channel. Hooks are fastened into recesses in the bottom of said channel. Thus, the hooks are not directly fastened to said loops (storing shelves). Instead the hooks are indirectly fastened to said loops by way of said solid body.
  • the storing device as a unit is to be suspended from, the carrier element storing tapes etc on a wall.
  • every basket etc has, according to present invention, an own discrete fastening device, which is an integrated (not separate) part of the basket and which can be directly engaged with the rail in an optional place (vertically). Therefore, the distance between two baskets etc hanging on the rail may be adapted to the wishes of the user.
  • each basket etc is delivered as a complete unit having a fastening device of its own, well integrated into the design of the basket etc. Because of its smallness the fastening device makes the hanging and removing of the basket etc very easy as it does not conceal the slots or holes of the rail.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a system for detachable suspension of baskets etc. from a carrier element attached to a wall, door or the like, allowing easy mounting on and discounting from the carrier element.
  • a further object is to provide a system comprising a fastening device for baskets etc. which is discreetly designed and which affords lateral stability to the basket etc.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a system having a fastening device for baskets etc. which can be used together with the usual carrier elements, wall rails or hang standards.
  • One more object is to provide a system having a fastening device for baskets etc. which is relatively inexpensive and easy to manufacture and which does not protrude beyond the basket etc.
  • a system as described by way of introduction which is characterised in that said fastening device is integrated with said basket, set of hooks, shoe rack or the like which is made of wire and which by means of a respective fastening device is detachably suspended from said carrier element, that said fastening device is insertedly arranged inside the periphery of the basket , the set of hooks , etc, that said at least one hook element is arranged adjacent to the upper portion of the basket, the set of hooks etc., and that a U-shaped recess is insertedly arranged inside the periphery of said basket, the set of hooks etc, at the lower portion of the basket, the set of hooks etc., said recess surrounding the carrier element.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of a storage system with baskets 1, sets of hooks 3, shoe racks 5 etc. which are provided with a fastening device 6, included in the system according to the present invention, for detachable suspension from a carrier element or rail 7.
  • the carrier element is mounted on a wall 8, door 9 or the like.
  • the carrier element 7 is a hang standard, such as the hang standards illustrated in the Elfa leaflet "Planerings- och . .
  • the carrier element thus is an elongate section with a plurality of through slots or holes 11 in one or two rows for detachable hooking on of the baskets 1, the set of hooks 3 etc. to the carrier element 7.
  • the carrier element is shown to have a U-formed profile, but other profiles are also conceivable such an I-shaped or a T-shaped profile.
  • the fastening device 6 is integrated with the basket 1, the set of hooks 3 etc., i.e. it is essentially formed in one piece with the basket etc. ( Figs 1-5 ) or is fixedly attached to the basket etc. ( Figs 6-10 ). Moreover the fastening device 6 comprises a central, essentially U-shaped portion having hook elements 17 for releasable engagement with the slots or holes 11 of the carrier element 7, as will be described in more detail below.
  • Figs 3-5 are different views of a set of hooks 3 with a fastening device 6, which is essentially formed in one piece with the set of hooks.
  • the fastening device is a U-shaped bend of the upper wire 12 of the set of hooks having a central portion 13 which comprises a base portion 14 and a pair of leg portions 15 extending from the respective ends of the base portion.
  • the fastening device surrounds the carrier element 7 with its base portion 14 and its leg portions 15 and these portions 14, 15 abut against the outer periphery 16 of the carrier element (see Fig. 2 ).
  • the leg portions 15 are preferably so long that the upper wire 12, when mounting the set of hooks 3 on the carrier element 7, will abut exactly against the wall 8 or door 9 to which the carrier elements is attached.
  • the fastening device also comprises at least one hook element 17 with which the set of hooks 3 is hooked to the carrier element 7 by the hook element being inserted into a selected slot 11 in the carrier element.
  • the hook element 17 is fixedly attached to the base portion 14 of the fastening device, for instance by welding, soldering or gluing.
  • Figs 3 and 4 show a substantially U-shaped hook device 18 fixedly attached to the base portion 14, and a hook element 17 is formed at each free end of the hook device 18.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates schematically a single hook element attached to the base portion 14.
  • the hook element is not restricted to the design shown in Figs 1-5 but may have an optional design which is then complementary to the shape of the through holes in the carrier element, into which through holes the set of hooks etc. is to be hooked.
  • its lower wire 19 (or the lowermost wire of the basket 1 adjacent to the carrier element) is bent at the centre of the set of hooks in the same way as the upper wire 12 to form a portion or recess 21 extending into the set of hooks etc. This portion will then also surround and abut against the carrier element 7.
  • Figs 3-5 illustrate the hook element 17 positioned essentially on the same level as the central portion 13 or the upper wire 12.
  • the hook element can be arranged at a level different from the central portion, i.e. above the central portion 14.
  • the fastening device is not formed in one piece with the basket 1, the set of hooks 3 etc., but is a separate unit which is fixedly attached to the basket etc., for instance by welding, soldering, gluing, in a recess therein (see Fig. 6 ).
  • the base portion 14 and leg portions 15 of the fastening device 6 are made of a metal sheet bent in U shape and with hook elements 17 formed in the base portion.
  • a pair of flanges 23, to which the basket etc. is attached, project perpendicularly from the free ends of the leg portions 15, i.e. their ends not connecting to the base portion 14.
  • the flanges are formed in one piece with the rest of the fastening device.
  • the fastening device can be made of a material other than metal, such as reinforced plastic.
  • Each hook element 14 is formed as a tongue punched from the base portion 14 and having a first portion, or connecting portion 24, a second or intermediate portion 25 and a third portion or end portion 26.
  • the intermediate portion 25 extends essentially parallel with the base portion 14 and is positioned by means of the connecting portion 24 at a distance from the inner surface 27 of the base portion that corresponds to the material thickness of the carrier element 7.
  • the end portion 26 is angled away from the base portion 14 and forms an acute angle to this.
  • the intermediate portion 25 adjacent to the end portion 26 is positioned at a shorter distance from the inner surface 27 of the base portion than is the intermediate portion 25 adjacent to the connecting portion 24, in which case the hook element will clamp the fastening device 6 to the carrier element 7.
  • Fig. 10 schematically presents an alternative embodiment of the hook element 17.
  • the angled end portion 26 has been replaced by a hook-shaped end 28 with a sliding surface 29 and an abutment surface 31.
  • the distance between the abutment surface 31 and the connecting portion 24 of the hook element is somewhat greater than the distance between the lower edge of a slot 11 in the carrier rail and the upper edge of a subjacent slots 11', see Fig. 6 .
  • the sliding surface 29 will press the intermediate portion 25 outwards and the hook-shaped end 28 will finally, owing to the elasticity of the hook element, snap into the subjacent slot 11', thereby locking the fastening device to the carrier element by means of the abutment surface 31.
  • the fastening device comprises at least two separate (pairs) hook elements which are aligned with each other in the longitudinal direction of the fastening device, as shown, for instance, in Figs 8 and 9 .
  • the lower edge or bottom of the basket etc. is in any case formed with an inwardly extending portion or recess 21, as indicated in connection with Fig. 3 .
  • the basket will also be easier to packet.
  • baskets, paper roll holders, sets of hooks etc. are shown to be made of wires. As will be easily understood, they may, however, be made of an optional material, without deviating from the inventive idea.
  • the basket can be made of sheet metal and then according to Figs 6-10 the fastening device is conveniently formed in one piece with the side of the basket facing the wall or the like.
