Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a modular shelving.
  • DE 202007017348 U1 discloses a system that makes use of vertical supports that are fixed to horizontal shelves by means of expandable elements; these elements are inserted in channels formed in the supports and through holes formed in the shelves. Vertical supports and expandable elements are thus to be made from metal, or anyway form a material other than glass, and are therefore very visible.
  • the present invention concerns a modular shelving according to claim 1.
  • Preferred characteristics are indicated in the dependent claims.
  • the modular shelving according to the invention comprises
  • the minor profile fixedly connected to the upright, structurally connects the fastening elements for the upper shelf and for the lower shelf, improving the structural strength.
  • the shelving has a modular structure, with a number of shelves that can vary according to the height of the shelving, and a number of uprights that can also vary, according to the width.
  • the grooved guide allows a rapid assembly and ensures extreme freedom in positioning the uprights, which can be arranged according to the preferred configuration in any position along the shelves without jeopardising the solidity of the structure.
  • the attachment system is not very bulky and is thus not very visible.
  • said fastening element comprises a plate and a pin substantially perpendicular to the plate; the grooved guide is suitable for housing the plate, and the minor profile comprises a hole in which the pin is inserted.
  • the uprights can be rotated around the pin of the fastening element, according to the desired aesthetic effect.
  • said major profile is fixed to a rear edge of said shelf; preferably, said minor profile is fixed to a rear edge of said upright. In both cases, the profile is less visible thanks to its position, behind the shelf and the upright, respectively.
  • each of said uprights is provided with at least one contact block against each of said shelves, said contact block being of relatively soft material having high friction against the shelf. Thanks to these characteristics, the contact block ensures the stability of the coupling between the upright and the shelf, i.e. the absence of accidental reciprocal movements, even if the attachment between them occurs only in the rear area.
  • the major profile comprises two grooved guides, parallel and superimposed one another, one facing upwards and the other facing downwards.
  • One same profile thus allows the attachment of the shelf both to an upright on top and to an upright below it, simplifying the assembly of the shelving.
  • the uprights and/or the shelves are made from glass or another transparent material.
  • the best aesthetic effect ensured by this material is not disturbed by the attachment system according to the invention.
  • the glass uprights are curved or bent. In such a way a better stability and solidity of the structure is ensured.
  • a modular shelving according to an embodiment of the invention is wholly indicated with reference numeral 10.
  • the shelving 10 comprises some shelves 20 arranged horizontally and some uprights 30 arranged vertically, more precisely five shelves 20 and eight uprights 30 in the illustrated configuration; it must be clear however, that the shelving according to the invention is modular and that therefore the configuration shown is only one of the infinite configurations possible.
  • Each of the uprights 30 is arranged between two of the shelves 20.
  • Both the shelves 20 and the uprights 30 are made from glass. More in particular, the shelves 20 are formed with slabs of flat glass, whereas the uprights 30 are formed with slabs of bent glass, with two vertical bends 38 and 39, facing opposite directions from one another so as to give the upright 30 an S-shape, when seen in plan view.
  • Each of the shelves 20, at a rear edge, is fixed to a major horizontal profile 21, which comprises two grooved guides 22 and 23, parallel and superimposed one another, one facing upwards and the other facing downwards.
  • the major profile 21 is made from metal, for example extruded aluminium alloy, and is stably fixed to the shelf 20 through suitable gluing.
  • Each of the uprights 30, at a rear edge, is fixed to a vertical minor profile 31, which comprises two vertical holes 32 and 33, aligned vertically with one another; preferably, the two holes 32 and 33 can be formed as end portions of a single hole, formed from side to side along the minor profile 31, in a vertical direction.
  • the minor profile 31 is made from metal, for example extruded aluminium alloy, and is stably fixed to the upright 30 through suitable gluing.
  • the shelving 10 also comprises fastening elements 40, each comprising a plate 41, for example rectangular, and a pin 42 substantially perpendicular to the plate 41, in a central position on the plate 41.
  • the plate 41 is sized so as to be able to be inserted and slide in the grooved guides 22 and 23 of the major profiles 21; the pin 42 is sized so as to be able to be inserted and rotate in the holes 32 and 33 of the minor profiles 31.
  • the grooved guides 22 and 23 are C-shaped, so as to be able to house and vertically hold the plates 41, letting them slide longitudinally and leaving space for the pins 42.
  • Two threaded holes 34 and 35 are formed on the sides of the holes 32 and 33 so as to house respective dowels 36 and 37 for attaching the pins 42 Into the holes 32 and 33.
  • the profiles 31 and 41 and the fastening elements 40 form an attachment system between the uprights 30 and the shelves 20.
  • Each of the uprights 30 also comprises plugs 50 for making contact against the shelves 20.
  • the plugs 60 are fixed to the uprights 30 at the upper and lower edges thereof, in a number that is suitable according to the horizontal extension of the uprights 30; in the configuration shown in the drawings, three plugs 50 are provided between each upright 30 and each shelf 20.
  • the plugs 50 are made from relatively soft material having high friction against the shelf 20; for example and preferably, such a material is an elastomer, possibly transparent, like a silicone rubber.
  • the shelf 20 placed in a lower position with respect to the configuration of the shelving 10 is provided with feet 60, glued on the lower face of the shelf itself, to rest on the ground.
  • the configuration can be not only that of the shelving 10 of fig. 1 , but also any other, such as for example that of the shelving 10' of fig. 6 or that of the shelving 10" of fig. 7 ; in such figures, the same reference numerals have been used as for the shelving 10 of fig.1 , since they are elements which are individually the same. It should be noted that the shelving 10' has uprights 30 with directions that are different from one another, and that the shelving 10" has uprights 30 which are partially offset.
  • the installation of a shelving 10 according to the invention typically comprises a step of assembly in the factory and one of assembly on site.
  • the factory assembly provides for the gluing of the profiles 21 and 31 respectively to the shelves 20 and to the uprights 30; the feet 60 are also glued to the shelf or to the shelves 20 intended to be in the lower position of a shelving configuration 10.
  • the assembly on site firstly provides that the lower shelf 20 is positioned on the ground. Then, the plate 41 of a fastening element 40 is inserted in its upper grooved guide 22, and an upright 30 is positioned so that its hole 33 houses the pin 42 of the fastening element 40; the dowel 37 is tightened (through the wrench K) thus locking the upright 30 on the fastening element 40. Analogously, the plate 41 of another fastening element 40 is then inserted in the grooved guide 22, and another upright 30 is positioned so that its hole 33 houses the pin 42 of the fastening element 40; the dowel 37 is tightened (through the wrench K) thus locking the second upright 30 on the fastening element 40.
  • the shape of the uprights 3D with the two S-shaped bends helps its vertical positioning in this step.
  • the uprights 30 are vertical, with their rear part fixedly connected to the shelves 20 by means of the fastening elements 40.
  • the angular position of the uprights 30 around the pins 42 can be chosen freely, according to the desired configuration of the shelving 10; in the configuration shown, the uprights 30 substantially face forwards, but it is also possible for them to be oriented more sideways.
  • the shape of the uprights 30 with the bends 38 and 39 is also important to make the shelving 10 solid with respect to horizontal movements of one shelf 20 with respect to another; this makes it possible to not use diagonal tie-rods.
  • the configuration of the shelving 10 can also be easily modified, within certain limits.
  • the shape of the uprights can have a single bend (defining a V-shape) or more than two bends, or even have a more complex shape, for example T-shaped or H-shaped.
