Definitions
- the present invention relates to a self-supporting suspension device for suspending shelves, baskets or the like, with or without the aid of brackets, from at least two columns which in their raised position are substantially vertically oriented, a foot belonging to each column and being in the form of an elongate element which, when assembled to the associated column, is substantially at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the column, and a stabilisation element, which is adapted to be fastened to said columns to firmly interconnect them in a plane which is substantially at right angles to said feet.
- the invention also relates to a method for assembling this self- supporting suspension device.
- Mountable self-supporting sets of storage shelves are already known in a number of variants. They all have in common that they have factory- assembled end pieces and some kind of structure for lateral stabilisation of the set of shelves.
- metal profiles are used, such as flat bars, metal bars or thick metal wires, which are fastened diagonally in adjacent end pieces. Also scissor-like devices arranged for this purpose and fastened in similar manner are frequently used. Integral back pieces adapted to be nailed to adjacent end pieces have the same function.
- the different shelves rest on shelf carriers which are fastened to the columns of the end pieces. As a rule, a plurality of holes are bored in the columns, in which holes the shelf carriers are intended to be inserted.
- the shelf carriers have the form of pins, angle bars provided with pins, or wire straps.
- Another type of self-supporting set of storage shelves has end pieces which consist of a pair of metal columns which are interconnected by screwed-on, crossed flat bars or the like, and in some sets of storage shelves they are stabilised by screwed-on shelves.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a self-supporting suspension device which is easy to assemble and which does not require any screwed or bolted joints or the like, which is stable, which has a small number of components and which requires minimum package space.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a self-supporting suspension device in which shelves, wire baskets, clothes racks, trouser hangers and the like can be fastened in an easy and repiaceable/rearrangeable manner.
- Yet another object is to provide a self-supporting suspension device, in which both sides can be used to suspend shelves, wire baskets, etc. which are easily accessible at the same time.
- each column comprises at least two mutually parallel flanges which are interconnected by at least one web, the inner distance between the flanges corresponding to the thickness of the foot, and that the foot has a slot at one of its ends, into which slot the column is adapted to be inserted with its web, the flanges straddling the foot in a clamping manner.
- Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a column and a foot included in an embodiment of the self-supporting suspension device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged partial view illustrating the end of a bar which forms a stabilisation element in the suspension device
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the bar in Fig. 2 when mounted on a column according to Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the end portion of a locking beam included in some embodiments of the suspension device according to the invention.
- Figs 5-11 describe each step of assembling a section of a self- supporting suspension device according to the invention
- Figs 12-16 describe each step of assembling an additional section to the section of the suspension device shown in Fig. 11 ;
- Figs 17-18 illustrate the first step and the last step, respectively, of assembling a section in an alternative embodiment of a self-supporting suspension device according to the invention
- Figs 19 and 20 show alternative embodiments of columns included in embodiments of the suspension device according to the invention.
- Figs 21 , 22 and 23 illustrate different variants of stabilisation elements included in embodiments of the suspension device according to the invention
- Fig. 24 is a sectional view showing an alternative embodiment of a locking beam
- Figs 25-27 illustrate alternative embodiments of the stabilisation element shown in Figs 6-16 and 18;
- Figs 28-29 illustrate alternative embodiments of the stabilisation element shown in Figs 22-23.
- the suspension device comprises at least two columns 1 and the same number of feet 2.
- the columns 1 are a hollow rail or profile with rectangular cross-section having two mutually parallel flanges 3 and two mutually parallel webs 4, cf. Fig. 3.
- the webs 4 of this embodiment are provided with slots or grooves 5 which are arranged in pairs and from which shelves, baskets, clothes racks or the like can be suspended, either directly or via brackets, see for instance the Elfa leaflet "Planerings- och .guide”.
- the columns 1 can also be formed as a U-profile, and for instance look like Elfa's carrier rail in said leaflet and as shown in Fig. 19. They can also have an H-profile as shown in Fig. 20. It is, however, necessary for the columns 1 to have at least one web 4 and a pair of parallel flanges 3, for reasons which will become clear below.
- the feet 2 have the form of an elongate element, preferably in the form of a hollow sheet-metal part with an adjusting screw 6 at each end to obtain exact vertical alignment of the associated column, as will be evident from the reading of the description part. It is also possible to use only one adjusting screw, see Fig. 19, or a foot of optional design suitable to this end.
- the foot 2 has a non-negligible thickness T in the transverse direction, see Fig. 19.
- the foot has a slot 7 at one of its ends, which is oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the foot and extends from the upper side of the foot towards, but not all the way to, its underside.
- the distance A between the slot 7 and the end is preferably substantially half the inner distance between the webs 4 of the column 1 for reasons that will appear from the text referring to Fig. 18. Furthermore, the inner distance between the flanges 3 substantially corresponds to the thickness T of the foot 2. This is because the column 1 , when mounted on the foot 2, should firmly and fixedly straddle the foot so that they together function as a rigid unit, which will be explained in more detail in connection with the presentation of the assembling method.
- the self-supporting suspension device according to the invention also comprises a stabilisation element 8 in order to make the assembled suspension device torsionally rigid in the longitudinal direction (in a plane at right angles to the feet of the assembled suspension device), as indicated by the two-way arrow L in Fig. 16 and as known from the sets of storage shelves mentioned by way of introduction.
- a stabilisation element 8 in order to make the assembled suspension device torsionally rigid in the longitudinal direction (in a plane at right angles to the feet of the assembled suspension device), as indicated by the two-way arrow L in Fig. 16 and as known from the sets of storage shelves mentioned by way of introduction.
- Different types of stabilisation elements are shown in Figs 8, 21-23, 25-29 and will be discussed in more detail in the text referring to these Figures.
- the self-supporting suspension device also comprises, In some embodiments, a locking beam 9, see Figs 9, 18 and 24, whose function will also be presented in connection with these Figures.
- Figs 1 and 5-11 illustrate the different steps of assembling a section of an embodiment of a self-supporting suspension device according to the invention.
- two columns 1 are inserted in the slot 7 in their respective feet 2 so that the lowermost end of the web 4 abuts the lowermost portion of the slot and the flanges 3 are press fit on the end of the foot over the distance A, see Figs 1 and 5.
- the flanges 3 of the columns 1 are, in their lower portion (in the upright position of the suspension device), provided with a pair of spaced-apart through holes or bores 11 , in which the stabilisation element 8 is fastened.
- the stabilisation element 8 has the form of two bars 12 which, at their two ends, comprise a portion 13 of the bar that is bent substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the bar, see Fig. 2. At a distance from this portion 13, a lug 14 is formed on the bar, and this distance substantially corresponds to the thickness of the flanges 3.
- the first bent portion 13 of one of the bars 12 is inserted into the lower hole 11 of the column 1 , and the second bent portion 13 of the bar 12 is inserted into the upper hole 11 of the second column and vice versa, so that the bars 12 cross each other as illustrated in Fig. 8.
- the feet 2 are turned towards each other so at to become substantially parallel (and perpendicular to the floor), see Fig. 9.
- the bent portion 13 and the lug 14 of the bars 12 then fix the bars on the flanges 3 so as to guarantee the mutual distance between the columns 1 as well as their parallelism, see Fig. 3.
- a locking beam 9 is arranged on the upper end of the columns, that is, their end opposite the end inserted in the foot 2, cf. Fig. 10.
- the locking beam 9 is preferably an elongate profile which comprises two flange portions 15 and at least one web portion 16, see Fig. 4.
- the locking beam 9 has a slot formation 17, whose width corresponds to the thickness of the flange 3 of the column. The locking beam is thus slipped on to the upper ends of the two columns 1 , the opposite flanges 3 of the columns being inserted into the slot formations 17, which is most clearly seen in Figs 11 and 18.
- the bent portions 13 of two bars 12 are inserted into the two holes or bores 11 of one of the columns which are located opposite the above-mentioned holes or bores 11, see Figs 12 and 13. If the previously assembled section 18, cf. Fig. 11 , is placed adjacent a wall, the bent portions of the bars are inserted into the respective holes 11 with the bars 12 oriented parallel to and directed in the same direction as the foot 2 of the column in question, in contrast to the situation when the first section 18 was assembled with the bars oriented opposite to the direction of the foot, see Fig. 6. Subsequently, the crossed bars are turned so as to be located substantially in the same plane as the previously assembled bars.
- a column 1 mounted on a foot 2 according to that stated above is placed beside the already assembled section 18 with its foot directed towards the same and the bent portions on the free ends of the two crossed bars are inserted in the associated above-mentioned holes or bores in the flange 3 of the column, see Fig. 15.
- the foot is then turned together with the column away from the already assembled section 18 so as to become parallel to and directed in the same direction as the other feet.
- the column is fixed by a locking beam 9 as described in connection with Figs 4 and 9-10.
- each column only has one foot. If the suspension device is intended to be placed at a distance from a wall, for instance as a room divider or with the purpose of using both sides of the suspension device in a safe manner, it is advantageous to use two feet for each column. In that case, a profile with a closed section is used, that is, two flanges 3 and two webs 4, cf. Fig. 3. As already mentioned in connection with Fig. 1 , the distance A between the slot 7 of the foot and its end nearest to the slot substantially corresponds to half the inner distance between the webs 4 of the column. The two feet 2 are placed with said ends adjacent to each other and directed in opposite directions.
- the column 1 is inserted into the slots 7 and presses the ends of the feet towards each other, as illustrated in Figs 17 and 18, which results in a firm and rigid column-foot unit If two feet are used for each column instead of one foot, the same assembling method is used as described above in connection with Figs 5-16.
- the stabilisation element 8 is presented as two separate crossed bars which are fastened in the adjacent columns. They can also be formed as a unit, i.e. the bars 12 can be interconnected before they are mounted on the columns 1.
- Fig. 27 thus shows the bars 12 as pivotally connected to each other by a through bolt or rivet joint 31 at the respective centre portions of the bars.
- the stabilisation element 8 can also have other embodiments, among which one is illustrated in Fig. 21.
- the stabilisation element 8 can have a design similar to that of the locking beam 9, that is, a profile comprising two flange portions 19 (of which only one is shown in Fig. 21) and at least one web portion 21. From its two ends, a pair of spaced-apart closed or not closed clamps 22 project (only closed clamps are shown in the Figure) which have a contour corresponding to the cross-section of the columns, in Fig. 21 rectangular.
- the assembly of the suspension device comprises fewer steps. After the insertion of one end of the columns into the slot of the respective feet (cf. Fig. 5), the columns are placed on the above-mentioned substructure or support in a manner such that the feet are substantially at right angles thereto. Then the columns are passed into the clamps 22 or the through holes, after which the ready- assembled suspension device is raised to vertical position.
- Fig. 22 illustrates a further embodiment of the stabilisation element 8.
- the stabilisation element comprises a relatively wide sheet-metal plate 23, which at each end has a portion 24 bent into U-shape. The shape of this portion is congruent with that of the column and tightly partially surrounds the respective columns.
- the bent portion is further provided with inwardly directed hook-shaped elements 25 for locking engagement with the slots or grooves 5 of the columns.
- Fig. 23 illustrates an alternative design of the stabilisation element in Fig. 22.
- This embodiment of the stabilisation element 8 differs from the stabilisation element in Fig. 22 in that the sheet-metal plate 23 does not have a U-shaped portion at its ends but a portion 26 which is bent at right angles to the sheet-metal plate and which ends with hook-shaped elements 25 for engagement with the slots or grooves 5 in the columns 1.
- Figs 28 and 29 illustrate alternative embodiments of the stabilisation element 8 shown in Figs 22 and 23.
- the left columns in Figs 28 and 29 are shown in longitudinal section through the two webs 4 of the columns 1.
- the stabilisation element 8 comprises a flat (Fig. 28) or curved (Fig. 29) plate 23 made of sheet metal or some other suitable material.
- Figs 5-18 instead of being fastened in the slots or grooves 5 of the columns 1 , use is made of the holes or bores 11 shown in Figs 5-18.
- a pair of spaced-apart hook-shaped elements 25 as shown in detail view in Fig. 28
- bent bar portions 13 as shown in detail view in Fig.
- the hook-shaped elements 25 and the bent bar portions 13, respectively, are preferably arranged at the ends of a pair of bars 33 with rectangular or circular cross-section, which are fastened at the top and lower parts of the plate 23 (in its mounted state).
- the two end portions 34 of the plate function as the lug means 14 illustrated in Fig. 2.
- the stabilisation elements 8 according to Figs 25-29 are assembled in the same way as described in Figs 6-16 and 18, and in particular in Figs 8-9 and 14-16, which is obvious to a person skilled in the art.
- Fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the locking beam 9.
- the locking beam is here arcuate but it can, of course, have some other shape and, for instace, be straight with angled end portions 28.
- the ends of the locking beam 9 are provided with projecting tongues or cut-in portions 27, the thickness of which substantially corresponds to half the inner distance between the flanges 3 of the columns and the width of which substantially corresponds to the distance between the webs 4 of the columns. Owing to this, the two tongues 27 of two locking beams 9 can be inserted in form-fit manner into the upper end of the same column and prevent the column from being turned.
